March is over. I can’t believe it. It came and went so fast, I feel like I didn’t even get to enjoy it. Well-not as much as I would have liked. Don’t get me wrong-a lot went down this month.
March started out as a busy time at work, with one of our biggest and most successful fundraisers coming up, and many grants to write. Work is great, but I haven’t seen success this year like I anticipated. And even though I feel like I bring so much to this team I work for, I can’t help but fight this nagging feeling that someone is taking note at how hard it has been for me lately to raise a dollar. Not a good sign, since that is my job. To raise money. So, you can imagine that not being able to in this economy is not a good thing for my career. But-I also have a big job at our next fundraiser, so I really need to focus on making that event GREAT…The verdict is still out on that one. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
It’s also been a busy month, socially. But, not in my dating life-or shall we call it non-dating life. Seriously. How long do I need to wait? Am I being too picky? Surely not=when my best chance was E-Harmony’s pick as THE guy for me-Carrot Top. REmember? (nodding my head-as if…if I shake my head hard enough the vile memory of that whole “character” building experience will vanish. Here’s hope’n).
No really, socially it has been busy. Spring Break and trying to fit 4 weeks of activity into 3 has been hard. Although Spring Break was a blast. We drove up to central Texas. My most favorite place…the weather is amazing, the scenery is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is addicting. My home away from home-BFF’s house. I miss her so, and since she bought a new house, it was just what I needed to forget about all the deadlines that were looming when I returned.
We spent the week decorating her new house, and shopping, and hanging out with the kids, and shopping, and catching up on movies, and shopping, and shopping some more. It was great. Not sure the kids enjoyed it as much as we did, but so what. Yeah, that’s right, people-So What! 🙂
Anyway, March is gone and April is here. And can you guess the best part of April? It starts tomorrow. Opening Day! Whoo hoo! This crazy bitch loves baseball!!!! And loves the Houston Astros!
Believe me when I tell you that I love them more than you.
No really.
Seriously. Just stay tuned to my blog this month, and you will begin to realize.
And the best part is that I have a date with my boys at least once a month, and every night on my TV. I can’t wait. I love them. You know, I feel like they should know me, since I am their biggest stalker. Follower. Snooper.
I mean fan… Yeah, F-A-N.
You know, one summer my mom, my daughter, and I went to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Chicago. As part of my trip, I made sure that my Astros were playing the Cubs while we were there, so we could go to a live game at the infamous Wrigley Field. It was so cool! The crowd was loud, and infectious, and totally obnoxious-but awesome. I think the 5 of us represented half of the Astros fans thief that day. But it gets better. We were walking out and I overhead some crazy Cubs fan talk about the Astros bus, and how it was parked right outside-right next to our exit and train station. So, we went and waited for them to come out. And they started filing in…First Humberto Quintero came out, and then Miggy, and Blum, and Moehler, Wright, Carlos Lee, Bourne-None of them stopping to sign autographs. 😦 Bummer. Then, a glimmer of hope, when Hunter Pence walked over and I slipped my ticket up and he signed it! 🙂
Mommy like.
Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw Chris Sampson. I was so excited because Chris Sampson grew-up and graduated from Channelview High School. Now-Channelview was not my alma-mater. Not the high school I went to. But, ANYONE from the Channelview area would know anyone else from the North Shore are. Anyone. I graduated from North Shore High School. Literally a few miles from Channelview. And we were competitors. So, I figured that all I had to do was draw attention to myself and he would look up and smile and of course seek me out to pose for a picture, possibly sign and autograph, maybe even give me something of his that is signed? I mean, really-I would have. Right!?!????
So, what does this brilliant mind do? I started jumping up and down like a freaking 12 year old hormonal psycho stalker girl (remember the New Kids on the Block? Yeah-THAT crazy. ) screaming at Chris Sampson saying,”Chris!!! Chris!!! I WENT TO CHANNELVIEW HIGH SCHOOL!!!!” Everyone looked and my own family started backing away from me in embarrassment.
Nice.
So, guess what Chris Sampson did? Not a damn thing. He kept walking-actually ducking his head- right up on the bus. Shit.
I’m so looking forward to Baseball Season. Go ‘Stros!!!!!!!
