I got to hear Ron Santo and Pat Hughes on AM radio call the Cubs 1st Spring Training game with the Chicago Cubs. They did win 12-6 against the Giants. Oh I feel the winter going away....forget about the fact that we got snow last night. I haven't stumbled upon any opening day tickets yet but I am still very hopefully that the heavens will open up and drop 2 tickets in our laps...If anyone out there knows of any PLEASE let me know. Other than the $400 ones on eBay!
Guess What I get to do on Saturday...WATCH the Cubs play on TV!!! Oh it will be a good day...Yes it will...
PLAY BALL!!!

The Good ...The Bad...and the Ugly
Well I can tell you I looked like a deflated balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. At about 10:45 opening day was sold out! Then I watched without any control as the 1st St. Louis game I wanted sells out. I finally get thru on the phone and am trying to navigate the virtual reality "Laura" to understand the tickets I want and as I am saying things over and over while "Laura" keeps saying..."I'm sorry I didn't get that could you repeat how many tickets you wanted" 2 more St. Louis games sell out. I finally get transferred to a real person and I think she had about 10 minutes of training before she answered the phone. I do get my 5th choice of game and it takes almost 20 minutes to finish my transaction. With blunder after blunder I can't believe I finally finish the purchase. Sandra the incompetent ticket sales women tries to charge me for Fed Ev at 19$ a pop to send my bleacher seat tickets to me. I explain that I have to pick bleacher seats up from will call so I don't need the shipping. Then she charges me for 3 tickets instead of 2. Finally she is going to hang up before she gives me my confirmation number which you have to have to pick up your tickets at will call. I finally ask for a supervisor to make sure my transaction went thru! After that I did get thru a couple of more times and I do get picked up on the Internet once. So my list of games is as follows:
5/26 Dodgers
8/3 Pirates
8/24 Nationals
9/1 Astros
All games are bleachers.
I'll post later about my disgust about tickets on eBay 10 minutes after they go on sale!!!
Also my ideas on trying to find reasonable priced tickets for opening day!
let's pray to the baseball gods for help!

Today's the Day...
I sit here this morning with the excitement of a third grader going to Disneyland! Single Game tickets go on sale today for the Chicago Cubs 2008 season! So I have my list of games I want to try and get and of course the order to get them in. I have gotten myself into the virtual waiting room and have the phone number in the phone ready to go...The puck drops at 10am. Sorry about the hockey reference but you know what I mean. I will say it doesn't seem to me that the virtual waiting room is working right now which kinda freaks me out but I have always had way more luck on the phone then on the puter. So I hope in about 5 hours my hard work will have paid off and we will have about 5 games to go to this year!
Batter up Guys it's almost Baseball season!
Also thank you to the blogger gods because spell check is working again!

Trivia Rocks!
And imagine if we played trivia in Cleveland...we would of rocked squared!
Well we didn't win at trivia tonight but we did kick ass...
This was a fund raiser for the Peoria jazz All-Stars and it was sooooo much fun! Our table was made up of a great group...We all had something to bring to the table. 10 rounds of 10 questions.
Different categories...Sports...Current Events...Politics...Women at the Oscars...Music...70's Elevator Hell!
Your table could converse and you wrote the answer on the answer sheet...best quote of the night was during the movie quote category and the quote came up. Toby told Tucker what it was and Tucker started to question him and Toby shouts out..."WRITE IT DOWN!"
Serious funnies!
Also thankfully we had some boys for the sports question and for the Geography ( Flags). Oh they were also good at the Acronyms too!
Tucker was our secretary writing down all of the answers on our final answer sheet. For the last category which was Women at the 2007 Oscars...it started by showing you a picture of the actress...listing 3 works she has been in and you had to name her...After the first one...Tucker just handed over the paper to me and I filled them all in...except Jenna Fischer from the Office...I couldn't recognize her but Matt pulled it out of his Ars!
Fun was had by all!
Chowderhead!

More Random Pics!
Ted Lilly signing my glove at the Cubs Caravan!
Geovany Soto signing a ball for me! He walked right past me on his way in and I was like "Geovany" and he looked up and was all "Hey"
Yes I was that close during the Q and A!
Okay so here is my Isabel Bloom angel on the top of my foot. The picture is from the day I got it so it is really swollen and sore and red. The Angel is for my Aunt Neva ( MyGodmother) who has been my guardian angel since she passed. We had this sculpture with flowers put in the annex of my aunts church so all will remember her. This is my memorial so I know she is always with me!
Okay here is the actual picture of the sculpture so you can see how it turned out!

*****Special anouncement...the spell check is not working so I hope you can figure out what the #$%^ I am tyring to say!
Okay so I haven't had much time to post lately...I of course have so many things I would love to go on and on about but it looks like you are going to get the Reader's Digest condensed version!
***SOOOOO EXCITED about the winter version of Big Brother starting tonight!!!!
***Already tuning into the Survivior Fan VS.Favorites---Can I just add that I am already glad Johnny Fairplay is gone! He is just TOOOO annoying!

***Went on a psuedo double date last week...Jeff & Doug and Roxy & I went to see Ring of Fire...The Johhny Cash Tribute...LOVED IT!!!
***Went to the Cubs Caravan last month!!! Met Ted Lilly and G. Soto. SOOOO CUTE!!!
***Already have the day off next Friday to sit at the computer with my phone surgically stuck to my head to try and get Cubs 2008 tickets.
***On that note...Opening day is March 31. Which is actually the opening of the baseball season...usually we play away for a week and then come home! Do they realize how cold it is going to be!!!!! I will suffer for the thrill of opening day!
***Went and saw No Country for Old Men with Tommy Lee Jones. Without sounding like an idiot I would lick to quote Tom Hanks from the movie Big ..."I don't get it". I mean I could follow the story and everything but I just didn't get the whole hoopla of it all. I usually go for the art/cinematastic/sundance/indie films but I wish I would of just wasted my time on a cute chick flick like 27 Dresses.
***Baby Hank is growing like a weed! He is standing by himself for a couple of seconds at a time and he can walk along stuff! Does anyone possibly see anouther ER trip in our future?!?!
***Did anyone catch the crazy NHL accident where Zelnick got punctured in his throat by another players skate?...Amazingly his carotid artiery was split but still hanging on by a thread and the surgeons were able to fix it! He is a very Lucky man!
***Going to play Trivia this weekend! Can't wait...I hope they actually have useless info questions instead of actual regualr normal person questions!
***Jim and I were playing the Crack machine the other night before the movie and we got over 100 minllon on trivia Whiz---Food and spirits category. When you get to put your name in for high score I always put GO CUBS.
***Got a new tattoo on Friday...I will put a photo when it heals and I have time (Hoefully before March 12)
