new kitty

My new kitty is doing quite well. Still as frisky as ever, and scratching me up as well. He is so cute and so little. I can't wait to get a digital camera so I can take pictures and post them. It's going to be awhile before I can get one. I was hoping to get one before I went to NY to see the Yankees play, but, it wasn't meant to be. Yes, I am going to see them play one last time in the old stadium. I think I mentioned this in a previous blog. Oh, well, here it is again. HAHA. I am going to see them play the Tampa Bay Rays. I am just going to miss them playing the Redsox over the weekend. I don't think there are really any tickets left for those games next Fri. Sat, and Sun. They seem to sell out all the time!!

I have ordered the Kevin Sorbo movies of Prairie Fever and Meet the Spartans. Just have to pay for them through Amazon and I will get them in a few weeks. He is so busy lately, he is doing tv shows at the moment. Middleman and Fear, inc? I don't watch either one of them and i should start just to get myself better aquainted with them. I think these 2 shows are summer shows, waiting for the new seasons to start in Sept.

It has been raining and thundering alot lately and I just hope it holds off for the 4th of July picnic on Friday. Very muggy, too. I can't sleep very well when it gets this muggy, and there is no breeze. Well, at least, the fans are working!

Early 4th of July

I know it's 2 weeks early, but I got this great picture about the 4th of July, that I had to post it...

Isn't it great!!!

That flag really does sparkle!! It was waving in the original e-mail...

I so love this country, that I wouldn't live anywhere else. Yes, we have big problems, but, we always seem to come out on top. Since 9-11, I have had flags in my windows and in my apartment, and I will not take them down, ever!!! Now, I didn't know anyone who died in the Twin Towers, but, you don't have to, to feel angry. I still get teary-eyed when I see shows about the attacks.

Well, enough of that.

Celtics win!!!

I have been a fan of the Boston Celtics since I was in my teens. I have been following them this season, like I have since then. I don't watch every game, because I don't get them on cable. But, my point is that I am a fan and they finally won the NBA championship for the 1st time since 1986!! They dominated the LA Lakers badly. They now have 17 championships, the most every by one team in the NBA. The Celtics are like the Yankees, in the sense that they dominate their sport. It's just that it took them so long to win it again. The Yankees went from 1978 to 1996 without winning a World Series. That was the longest winless streak by the Yankees in their history. Now, if only the Bruins would win a Stanley Cup. It's been since the 70's since they won one.

The weather has finally cooled off, but, I don't think it will be too long before it heats back up again. It's been raining off and on, so everything is really green....

Now, for some fun news, my sister, Veronica, gave me a black kitten last Saturday. He is 7 weeks old and I have named him Blackie. I call him Pookie too. He is adorable and has literaly scratched me to pieces. But, I still love him.. When I get a digital camera, soon, I will post pictures of him.

very hot

It has been very hot lately, and even the thunderstorms aren't helping. I called my mother to see how she was doing in the heat, and she said she didn't have to leave her building today, which was a good thing because it got to 90 today... She plays cards with several other people in her building and she stays sharp that way.

I bought the dvd of the Super Bowl XLII, between the Giants and Patriots. It was so good to see that game again! It was just as nerveracking as the 1st time! The fact that my lowly Giant team could beat the mighty Patriots, who were going for an unbeaten record, was phenomenal!!! I am so proud of the way they played all through the playoffs. Now, let's see if they can do it again!

The Yankees are starting to play much better, as they won again tonight after they won yesterday, too. I hope they can keep it going up to the All-Star game which is at Yankee Stadium this year!!! It's the last year for the old building which was built in 1923, the same year my mother was born!! They are building a new one just over the left field fence. You can see it from the stands of the old one. I am going to a game in July and I can't wait. It's been 2 years since I was there last. The picture is of the new one. It will open for opening day of 2009...

SU WINS 13-10!!!

SU won the men's lacrosse NCAA Championship!! It was such a great game, we came from behind twice in the game and then scored 2 late goals to win... That was SU's 10th one and that is the most wins by any one school!!

Now, to more mundane things, Kevin Sorbo's new movies are coming out this week. Have to go buy them sometime and enjoy them with my collection of his movies.

My nephew, Max, in Boston, graduated from high school last weekend and they are having a party this weekend. My sisters, Jeanne and Veronica's family is going with her. I couldn't get the money together for a trip down. I hope they have great weather for it..

My Mom is still at it. She and I get together at once or twice a week just to talk and go out to eat. She loves where she is living, and it suits her. She gets to play cards every day with some of the people she knows there. She is 85 years old this year. God bless her...

My work is a little screwy at the moment, because we are training a new girl and everything is kind of backed up a little. I am doing the best I can, what with people needing help finding things and having to help pull charts for studies that don't get done. Just a normal day in the life of a Medical record clerk....

Well, have a good evening and go Yanks!!!
