I Want Candy

On our jobsite we have a site foreman who is H-O-T. Lady Ray and I have been drooling over him since he arrived. He is also very young looking. One day we were talking and I asked Lady Ray how old she thought he was, "At least 23", she replied. Well, yesterday we overheard him talking to the site engineer who asked how old he was. He's only 20! Unbelievable! I feel so old!
So, Lady Ray and I came back from lunch and he "hey-ed" us as we walked onto the site. As we walked away I said, "I can't believe he's only 20." Lady Ray replied, "You could teach him a thing or two." and I answered, "I could buy him beer."
I'll see if one of the guys can get a picture of him so everyone can see our jobsite eye-candy.

I'm A Loser Baby

The O's got swept this weekend by the Sox, and badly, so they're now in last place of the AL East. The good news is they are tied with the Yankees for last place. So we got that going for us.
Since last season, BD and I have bets for each O's/Sox series. Basically the winner gets to pick out something for the loser to wear of the winning team and ridicule them in public. Got a text message from him this afternoon that he's already got the shirt he wants me to wear. Of course he still owes me from last season when the Sox couldn't seem to beat to the O's, so this time will probably be a mutual ridicule.
This weekend I went to my company picnic on Saturday and as usual did not win anything in the raffle. For those who don't know, every large company function we have they have a raffle in which they give away cash and vacation days, up to $500 and up to 1 week extra vacation. I've been to many of these functions, in fact all of them since I've been working there, and have yet to win anything in the raffle. So of course the one time that I leave early is when I will finally win, since you have to be present to win.
After the picnic, I picked up Beau and we headed over to Casa de Perez to hang out and watch movies. We watched "Just Friends" with Ryan Reynolds and it was hilarious! If you get a chance rent it. Ryan Reynolds is great! The next movie we watched was "Waiting" also with Ryan Reynolds, this was slow to start and not as good as the first movie.
So, today has been pretty slow. Luckily Beau was so exhausted from playing with Louis that I was able to get a couple extra hours of sleep after I woke up at 7:30 this morning. I went to the grocery store since my fridge has been empty for the past two weeks. Came home, did laundry and then watched the Orioles game.
Now, Beau is passed out on the couch for his 5th nap of the day as I update my blog.
Spoke to ETK today as she was driving home from Pensacola with RAK and I'm so excited to go visit them in July. Got my plane ticket on Friday and can't wait for July to arrive.

Just Call Me Angel Of The Morning

There ya go, Sis!
I have never been a morning person and have always enjoyed being able to sleep in on weekends. However, lately I have been unable to sleep past 8am and it's driving me crazy. While many weekends it's a good thing because I can get stuff done early but I really looking forward to sleeping in today since I've been so tired all week. But NO! Woke up at 8am and couldn't go back to sleep. Part of this I blame on Beau, who's been a bit of a pill in the morning lately. But he has no problem going back to sleep after waking me up.
So, last night I caved and signed up for the MLB sports package on my cable so now I can watch all the Orioles games on TV in my living room. I was trying to find a bar down here that would show the Orioles games, but had no luck. Of course there's tons that have the Yankees, Red Sox, and the Marlins are always on, but no O's. This surprised me considering they host Spring Trainig for the O's here, but no support during the season.
Since the trade of my precious Larry Bigbie last year to Colorodo (he's since been traded to St. Louis) I've been looking for another substitute to drool over.
Bigbie in his Baltimore days:
I like to call this one "Nice Gloves".
While watching the O's get killed by the Sox last night, I may have found my new boytoy.
Ladies, I introduce you to Nick Markakis.
Not too many pictures up of him yet as he's just been called up this season, but we'll see how it goes.

Hey Mr. DJ

At work the radio station I listen to is the hip-hop/pop station. But they seem to have a very short playlist that only includes the latest songs. I've realized this because it causes you to get very sick of the popular songs b/c they are played every hour on the hour.
I've found myself singing one of the songs on the porch of the trailer and Lady Ray will say, "I was just thinking of that song". I'll reply, "Of course it's been on the radio 5 times since we got here", that's around 10am. It's like having a CD on repeat.
Have you heard about this? Have you seen this? (:p Doc)

I Could Lay My Head On A Piece Of Lead And Imagine It Was A Springy Bed

I'm so tired. This whole daylight savings time thing has really screwed up my sleeping habits. As Monkey puts it, "Daylight Savings Blues". I think we should have a week to adjust to this with work. Like it would be acceptable to show up around 9-ish.
Just had three shots of espresso so hopefully I'll be able to perk up soon.

Put Me In Coach

FINALLY!!! OPENING DAY!!! AND THE ORIOLES ARE 1-0!!!

Was actually able to catch some of the game on ESPN's Gametracker this afternoon while at work. Made it home to catch the last two innings. BD's and Doc's Sox also won today and ETK's Braves are winning as we speak. Can't wait to visit ETK and Husband in July to catch the O's/Braves and Cards/Braves games. Staying for the Cardinals so ETK can drool over Mark Mulder and I can swoon over my former Oriole Larry Bigbie! Of course ETK will also get to enjoy seeing her former future-fantasy-husband Javy Lopez with the O's.

Well, no other news really. Participated in the JDRF walk on Saturday morning and then headed down to see Senor and Senora Paz. Had a great time hanging out in their hammock and eating at the Big Cheese. Sunday was my lazy day in which I did nothing productive.

That's it for now, I'll have to think of something to write about soon. I feel I'm getting boring. (Damn you, RAK!!)
