At-Bat Songs

I think it’s interesting how the great big ol’ World Wide Web is out there and yet I can’t find the at-bat songs for the 2006 World Championship Cardinals. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask, does it? These guys come up to the plate all season long, usually (hopefully) multiple times in a game, and they always have the same song play for them when they come up. It’s just a snippet, because they’re to the plate and digging in before you know it, and heaven knows we can’t be disrupting Clemens or Pinetar Rogers or whomever is psyching themselves up on the mound to hurl against our sluggers.

Recommendation

I’m a firm believer in word-of-mouth. I think it can be used to spread good information about businesses…whether that business deserves your patronage or whether it does not.

I like to share information with my loved ones and business associates, so they don’t have to go through the same trial and error I have. For instance, I have my favorite printer, designer and Web developer. I take them with me from job to job, and I recommend them unequivocally to anyone. I know the best camera store in St. Louis (Schiller’s), a great place to get petit fours (Clayton’s Bakery), and a great place for catering (Amighetti’s in Rock Hill). These are places that never let me down, who are wonderful to work with, and who don’t rip me off.

Decaf. For a reason.

I hate it when I go to Starbucks with my coupon for a free drink and I order my decaf grande non-fat no-whip extra-hot mocha and I specifically say “decaf” and they make it and give it to me and the label says “decaf” but then I get finished drinking it and I realize that I don’t think it was decaf at all because I’m all wired and a little jittery and that never ever happens when it’s truly a decaf and this is why I always order decaf because I’m not real good with feeling all wired and a little jittery as I have way too much energy as it is and can be perceived as a total spaz anyway without all the caffeine which is why I always always always order decaf and tend to freak out a bit when I realize later that it’s really not decaf but actually very very very much caf.

Zo Camel

We’re into Day Two of The Great Sippy Cup Standoff. M has taken to calling Zoe “The Camel” because of her seeming lack of necessary fluid intake. The b-o-t-t-l-e-s (we spell them now, so she doesn’t know what we’re talking about, of course) have all been hidden. Which means I threw ’em all in a Target bag and stuck ’em downstairs.

Hair comes the bride

It’s a dreary, bleary day today, and I don’t have much of anything exciting to post. I went out over lunch and purchased a wedding present for a girl I don’t particularly care for, which chaps my ass, but is necessary nonetheless.

BNOTW

Just in case you’re not in the know, BNOTW stands for Big News Of The Weekend. Which we have, and I forgot to post. Duh.
