Thursday Morning Musings, Ricky's On The Mound Edition

Good aft kiddies.



I hope you're well.



Big hig fives to E-ve and her study group. I'm sure they are working the flash cards and calculators as we speak. Keep it up guys.



Excited to see E-ve soon. Miss her.



Thumbs up to my PS2 as it decided to work yesterday. I have no idea why I tried it, but yay!



As I had some time on my hands yesterday afternoon I decided to rock a fantasy draft for franchise mode in MLB '09 The Show... After 53 rounds of drafting I let the cpu do the rest for me.



And today I made some trades to make the squad even better. We're gonna hit and we're gonna pitch at the front of the rotation... But catch and throw will be tough and we aren't very fast.



The real life Blue Jays are on the field right now in Texas. The are looking for a second win in a row against the Rangers. Ricky Romero is on the hill for the Jays and I have high hopes for him this summer.



Big ups to Vernon Wells and his 3 home runs and 6 rbi so far this season. Fans have been waiting for this type of production for years.



Thumbs down to the Maple Leafs for not beating the NY Rangers last night.



It's a grey, ugly day outside. The kind of day that kinda makes me wish I had a cat to cuddle with.



I got started yesterday on my guest post for Romeo's blog. My only concern is length. I may have to make it a 2 parter.



I succesfully used the last of the Easter leftovers yesterday. First the ham got diced and mixed in with onion and peppers and set atop some oven baked hashbrowns. And then for dinner the turkey and stuffing were combined with onion, corn, peas, carrots, green beans and pasta in a make shift caserole that worked pretty well. I'll be having more of it for dinner tonight.



The stupid bathroom sink is backed up again.



Go Habs Go.



With the Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkaglu injuries to the Raptors I'm starting to wonder if missing the play-offs and getting a higher draft pick isn't such a bad idea. Chris Bosh will likely leave for greener pastures and we will have cap space and a hot young rookie to revamp the roster for next year.



Wish I was going to the Blue Jays home opener on Monday.



Tally whoa!



Have a great Thursday friends. We're almost at the weekend.

Saturday Morning Musings, Quick Fire Habs Over Leafs Edition

Good morning kids.



It's Saturday morning so I'm gonna whip out a quick fire edition before I figure out what to do before E-ve gets home.



As I just tweeted, E-ve and Romeo are out to lunch before she hops the bus to come home. Here's hoping I get some left-overs.



Need more Batman.



Trying to decide between yogurt and Harvest Crunch for breakfast or some of the chicken nuggets and shrimp and jalapeno poppers that I made for my March Madness Friday.



I still love watching Saturday morning TV.



The Raptors were awful last night. I'm starting to think we have a better chance at signing Amare Stoudemire this summer than keeping Chris Bosh. And I think I'm okay with that.



Go Habs Go!



Tally whoa!



I miss my mommy a wee bit.



I love www.espn.com for my sports news.



I have a Kellie Pickler song stuck in my head.



E-ve and I still need to see the Princess and the Frog.



Diary of a Wimpy Kid the movie doesn't have me sold. Not one I need to go and see.



I think that's all the randomness I have in me right now.



Have a great day and night.

Thursday Morning Musings, Let The Madness Begin Edition

Hola amigos.


I hope that you are all ready for the Madness.

Super lovin’ to my E-ve. Even when she’s away she’s hilarious via text. And it sounds like St. Patrick’s Day was a success for her and the girls.

I have to make my cbc.ca hockey pool picks today since I won’t be at the computer over the next couple of days. I have no hunches at this point, but I have to be better than I have been this week. That’s for sure.

The sun is shining again, it’s awesome. They say not to get too used to it because clouds and rain will come sooner or later. But for now, I say enjoy it as best you can.

I mentioned the Madness because BYU and Florida just tipped off in the first game of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. My picks are in and my fingers are crossed and I have a different winner picked than President Obama.

I can’t believe that the Raptors won last night. I turned the game off after the 3rd quarter and was so upset about their effort that I actually Tweeted that fact. And then Chris Bosh hit a jumper with 2.1 seconds left on the clock and the 5 game losing streak ended. Thank goodness.

I could really go for a big lottery win. I should buy a ticket.

Today is day 10 of 10. So if I can make it to 7pm I’ll have completed the mission. Go team.

Msn.ca has a Top 30 Rocker Babes list on their entertainment page today. I just popped it up, haven’t looked at it. Discuss amongst yourselves and argue as needed.

I’m tempted to order pizza and chicken wings tonight and watch basketball until I pass out and then as soon as I wake up again tomorrow. I think my body can handle that. But can my spirit?

Huge love and high fives to Jake as the curtain goes up tonight on Urinetown. If you’re in the Ottawa area this weekend or next try to check it out $12 for students, $15 for the rest of us. Google the name.

And a high five to Romeo for his How I Lost My Socks At Walmart blog. I linked it. I like it.

I think that’s all for now. There’s a lot to do today.

Have a great one!

Tally whoa!

Monday Morning Musings, Congrats To CB4 Edition

Good day to you all.

Here’s hoping that your work week has started well so far.

E-ve just fired me a message saying that lunch is crazy slow at the restaurant. So hear this my friends, if you’re hungry and didn’t bring your lunch to work it’s okay to scrape together a few dollars and eat out in January. Just remember to be friendly and tip well.

Big win for the Raptors last night at home against the San Antonio Spurs. I didn’t see that one coming at all. Congrats as well to Chris Bosh who became the all time leading regular season scorer in franchise history. Vince Carter no longer holds the title which is just fine with many Raptors fans. Now everyone is just hoping that this is one more thing that will help to convince CB4 to stay in Toronto after the season is over.

Also in the big win category is Team Canada. The World Junior Championships semi-finals were played yesterday and Canada got a little bit of a lucky break when they got the Swiss instead of Russia after an upset in the quarter-finals. Next up is Team USA in the finals on Tuesday. Canada is gunning for a 6th straight gold medal and the whole country is behind them.

I’m currently fighting off a sore throat, but I haven’t yet run into the cough and congestion that comes with a real cold. I’m hoping that tea and water and such can keep me away from what could come.

E-ve’s birthday is coming this week… so if you see her wish her a happy one even if it is a few days early.

And after we celebrate E-ve’s birthday we get to celebrate Chuck returning to TV. It’s about a thousand clicks down on the planning, excitement and importance meter, but it had to be said.

There is snow on the ground in Toronto after the first real wintery day yesterday. It’s cold again today and has been cold before, but yesterday really felt like winter with the combo of cold and snow.

I think that’s all for now mes amis. My mind kinda went blank for a few minutes.

Have a great day.
