Good morning one and all!

I'd have to say that by now almost everyone on here has already gotten their copies of Mario Kart Wii, and have already weighed in on their opinions on how good (or bad) it is. So, here are my brief thoughts on the game:

I am ashamed to say that I have not had the opportunity to spend as much time with the game as I would have liked to this point. My stupid life and responsibilities keep getting in the way. Like right now. Why am I at work writing this blog when I could be at home racing??

So, that being said, I have to say that what I have seen so far has made me a very happy girl. I have unlocked all the courses, and was excited, to see the return of some of my favorite tracks, as well as my nemesis Rainbow Road. I am a bit unhappy with the online play, I have tried it only once and was unable to connect because Nintendo's servers were too busy. I guess everyone that owned the game was all reveved up to play at 7:22 last night just like I was. Never the less, I switched to off line and had a good time anyway. I can't wait to start unlocking some more of the characters, I miss racing with Dry Bones!

With all of that said, I am going to post my friend code on here. If you'd like we can race sometime. Just send me a PM after you have added me with your friend code, and I'll see you online!!

Boogedy, boogedy, boogedy, let's go racing boys!

The baseball gods were so saddened to see the last Opening Day game to be played at the historic Yankee Stadium that their tears feel down from the heavens, thus postponing the game until this evening.

That's right boys and girls! The boys of summer are back, and I couldn't be more excited. For the first time in recent memory the New York Yankees are not the favorite in the AL East, and I am not bothered by that at all. As a matter of fact I think it will give our Baby Yankees (otherwise known as Generation Tre) an even greater chance to show what they are made of. By removing the pressure of being the favorites they are free to exercise their growing pains, and show all of the doubters out there that this team can, and will return to the post season for the 13th straight year.

Enough about the team though. I am very upset to see the Stadium go. It was the place where I saw my first baseball game, and where I fell in love with both the sport, and my team. Although I no longer live in New York, and have not been in Yankee Stadium for longer than I would care to admit, it still gives me chills to see it on TV. It will be a very sad day for me next year when they move across the street into the new Yankee Stadium.

I understand the need for newer and better, but I also like tradition. Look at Fenway (not too long, you'll go blind), that old place has been around forever, and looks like it will still be for years to come. I am sad that such a big part of the mystique that surrounds the Yankees will soon come to an end. Everyone knows that the Stadium and it's ghosts are the 10th player on this team, and all the teams that have preceded it.

I am happy to hear that the new stadium has incorporated female locker rooms in the event that baseball ever become integrated and allows female umpires. To me that says they are looking forward with this stadium, and maybe this one will be around for a long time. I am hoping that it will not follow the trend that is around baseball these days. You know what trend I am talking about. The one where a team builds a stadium and decides 10 years into it that it is not good enough, and demands a new one. Baseball is about tradition, of one generation taking the newer generation to their first games, sitting in the same seats that they once sat in at their age. That is what baseball is to me. Tradition. And that is why it makes me so sad to see Yankee Stadium begin it's farewell tour. It's just nice to know that the baseball gods agree with me...

Okay, so a new study shows that depressed women have up to 3 times more sex than mentally healthy women! Can that be true?? If so, I think this article depressed me!

This story truly got me thinking on the subject. And I came to realize that it just might be true! I have an ex-friend, we shall call her Jenny. She was (well, I suppose she still is) a wacko. But, she always seemed to have a long line of hotties waiting to keep her warm at night. I think she is a casebook example of manic depressive, and it seems to me that guys were attracted to that!

Now, don't get me wrong. I enjoy good mental health, and I have not been completely ignored by the male gender in my time. But it does seem to prove the old adage that if you treat a man badly, he will only want you more. LOL

Do nice (mentally healthy) girls always finish last? Please tell me stories about the crazy women (or men) that you have known, and let me know if you agree with this article.

In the meantime I am going to look for a good therapist in the Yellow Pages...

Ahh yes everyone, it is that time of year again. The time when we are blessed by the Eastery yummy goodness known as Cadbury Creme Eggs.

I was innocently walking through my local Target the other day when what to my wandering eyes should appear, but that familiar foil wrapper glinting in the overhead lights. I instantly snatched one up, ran to the checkout counter and slapped down my two quarters. My entry fee into the world of chocolately, creamy goodness. Ahh, I remeber that moment as if it was yesterday, uhh, or 3 minutes ago to be exact.

Now, I know lots of people that are Anti-Cadbury Creme Egg, and to those of you I say, "More for me baby!!" That's right! I scoff at the legions of Peep-lovers, I sneer at the Jelly Bean Crowds, and I laugh in the face of the worshippers of the Long Eared Bunnies. For me nothing says Easter like Cadbury.

Those folks at Cadbury have even outdone themselves by making little Creme Eggs in a little egg carton package. For those times when a full sized egg is too much, but you need to have a little hit, uhm, I mean taste. You know those cravings I am talking about, don't even try to deny it. I'm serious. Don't try. I have the video.

So for those who stand behind me in my deep love for this bit of seasonal joy, I say... "Be proud, remember they are only available for a limited time!"

Maybe I should start a weekly "What were you thinking" topic. What do you think?

Well let me tell you about this one.

As most people know we are knee deep in the middle of Lent. Giving up things, and no meat on Fridays for most Christians at this time.

Chick-Fil-A prides itself on being a spiritual company, putting on a huge light display on during the Christmas holidays, and they are close their locations every Sunday. "Our founder, Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, GA. He has often shared that his decision was as much practical as spiritual. He believes that all franchised Chick-Fil-A Operators and Restaurant employees should have an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose to do so." This quote was taken from www.chickfila.com

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Chick-Fil-A, they are a fast food restaurant that serves chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. They have a great add campaign with a bunch of cows that tell us all to "Eat more chikin" (spelled incorrectly on purpose ).

Knowing all of this I was shocked to see that they are offering FREE chicken biscuit sandwiches on Friday mornings during Lent.

What are they thinking?

Now, I am not a very religious person by any stretch of the imagination, but I do adhere to the no meat rule on Fridays during Lent. I know that they have to know that this is Lent, and it upsets me that they would do this. Not because that I cannot partake in free food, but because of the mixed message that this company is sending out. This time of year most restaurants are showing commercials with their fish sandwiches, or fish platters, etc and this company is offering free sandwiches that contain meat! By doing so they are excluding a huge portion of the community, the community that they pride themselves on being a part of.

Just for grins I sent them an email about my thoughts on this matter. I'll post back if and when I get a response from them.

Until then what do you think about this?

I am sitting at work this afternoon listening to Pandora when they play these two songs back to back...

Hmmmm...

Disney Star and tweenie bopper Hannah Montana followed by "Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex"?

I wonder how many of the little 6-12 year old girls were rocking out to CSS. Sitting in their minivans with Mommy singing their little songs in the backseat when little Suzie begins singing this song.

"What was that honey? What are you singning?"

In some weird twisted way I think this was a perfect example of the state of the world today.

Swirl that one around in your mind for a bit, why dontcha?
