(Im)Perfect

Way to blow a game ump.

Now, normally I don't get to hot and bothered over other MLB teams out side of Milwaukee and San Francisco but the call in Detroit last night was just utterly ridiculous. Had I not seen it live-I was flipping between the Brewers game and MLB TV to see it-I might not have cared so much. But I did watch it. And it was one of the worse calls ever. It wasn't even close. So the umpire that made the call earns the jerk stamp.

There has been a rash of craptastic calls by umpires lately. No good. No, no, no, no good.

In other news...well there really hasn't been much. We went up north for Memorial Day weekend which was fun. The weather was amazing but the water was still cold. But that didn't stop little Miss Thang from sitting in her floatie for a long time. She loved the water even though her feet were blue when she got out. She also enjoyed her life jacket a bit more this year. She only screamed bloody murder once and that's because she was super tired and need a nap. She was a little sweetie pie all weekend. Except when she kept AB and me awake for two hours in the middle of the night. See, she slept in our room because that's were the crib is and it's a pain in the ass to move. The first night she was fine but the second night she woke up and realized there were other people in the room and decided she wanted up. She was fine and went to sleep if you held her but the second you tried to lay her down she'd start to cry. So eventually I went and dumped her on her parents. The next night we covered the light from the clock so she couldn't see anyone and it worked. She was super giggly. She'd climb the stairs and then stick her foot through the railings on the landing thing and want someone to try and jump and get it. Then she'd giggle and scream like mad. She probably laughed harder when whoever missed. It was good. She was full of kisses and hugs which is always good. And she was into sharing her food with us. She's a polite little girl. She shares, says thank you and sometimes please.

And really Gulf oil spill people? Nuke the spill to close the leak? I can get behind explosives, just not nukes since they are, you know, nuclear weapons. Radiation is a nasty thing and I don't want my shrimp glowing neon green or have 27 legs. Ok I don't eat shrimp.

It's funny how many people get almost angry with us-the lowly cashiers- over the gas perks between the store and BP. Um yeah. Complain to corporate. You honest to god think we can change that? No. And if you don't want to use them that's no problem for me.

Right.

Keep on keepin' on.
