How absolutely typical.

#WBC PUR vs CAN They keep showing a woman in the stands with a beer in each hand. And I keep thinking "Oh honey, I know just how you feel." 🙃

Solidarity from halfway around the planet where I finally got my tax paperwork finished and sent off.

This gets filed under "Oh Hell No".

Post your favorite “Lord of the Rings” character. Wrong answers only.

Sigh. Another news outlet claiming the Rockies have no talent when this is the first year the team will have access to have modern tools. But repeating the narrative is less work for the writer.

She's beautiful!

Small completed cross stitch of a yellow and white cat under a redmushroom cap with white spots. It is on a mottled green aida cloth.

Finished a small cross stitch piece. I tend to lean towards larger and more complex patterns, but sometimes there's something satisfying about a smaller, faster piece.

Small cross stitch of a yellow and white kitten under a mushroom hat. There's a little mushroom next to it and some landscaping that is similar enough in color to the mottled green aida I used that it kind of blends in. I rather like the effect.

#FridayFinish A nice, simple project for a palate cleanser. It's going to be part of a larger display with some similar art I bought from an Art-o-mat awhile ago. I changed the red in the hat to match that art better. #crossstitch

I'm mightily ticked off at the #WBC and most of live sports right now. All I want to do is watch the WBC. I'm willing to pay for that. What I don't want to do is sign up for Yet Another Service where I won't use 90% (and cancelling is one more thing to remember).

There's always a "gotcha"!

This is exactly what I'd hoped - thank you!

I did apply already 😁. It's just the next steps I was wondering about. I'm a planner like that 😄

Are there instructions somewhere or is it all pretty much self-explanatory?

I was there, and when I saw him strike out Judge, I said "this kid just got a confidence boost like nothing else". He's going places :).

TIL that if you leave gummy coke bottles in a hot car for awhile, they melt into a large wad of gummy goo.

Still tasted good though.

That ended pretty much how I thought it would. I'm pretty impressed that the #Rockies somewhat regular guys held their own against #WBC Team USA's lineup today.

Cross stitch of a yellow cat with a red spotted mushroom hat on green mottled aida cloth. It's mostly finished.

Almost done. I forgot how (almost) immediately gratifying smaller projects are. 😁

This is one of those "don't be sorry it's over, be happy it happened" innings.

s'ocat

Don't know how much more I can post - the cell service here is completely overwhelmed.

The Rockies are now winning.

For now.

I'll take it.

Where the hell did that one go?

Tie game middle of the third.

This is far better than I expected the Rockies to be doing at this point.

#Rockies vs. #WBC Team USA. Salt River Fields is packed. Rockies players were autographing and I just made the line cutoff 😀.

I expect the Rockies are going to have their asses handed to them. #baseball

Top three breakfast cereals.

Extra credit: top three breakfast cereal prizes in the box.

This is the Rockies. If whiplash is the only thing we have to look out for, it's going to be a good season.
