Lime Green and Estrogen

Vote for the Rays on the MLB AllStar ballot.

 

Ok, the first round of counts are in and so far, the Rays only have two players going to the AllStar game in Anaheim. Really? Umm, hello...we are the first place team. So do me a favor and go to www.raysbaseball.com and vote for the Rays on the ballot (OK, not Pat Burrell 'cause he's not a Ray anymore).

Thanks, and GO RAYS!

PS- It's my birthday, miss the big birthday sale yet?

Quixotic adventure to the Big Apple

Kimmie and I took a small but exciting 24 hour adventure to New York City this week. JetBlue ran these amazing $10.00 fares and I just could not resist. She does turn 16 next week and who does not need to visit Times Square for such an important occasion? Ok, that's what I told myself as I booked the tickets. Sounded a bit fishy to my husband but he drove us to the airport anyway. Kim and I stayed inTimes Square, ate at Planet Hollywood, roamed Rockefeller Center Plaza, saw St Patricks Cathedral, visited the Statue of Liberty, bought Tshirts from a street vendor, ate a hot dog and shopped at the Herald Square Macy's. All in 24 cold and rainy hours. Fun, spontanous and exciting. Happy Birthday Kimmie! 

By the way, Quixotic was on my word of the day in my Ipod. It means foolishly impulsive and spontaneous. Good word.

Will upload a few photos of Kimmie and I later. The camera card is not cooperating right now.

Betty White on SNL!

I hope you managed to see at least some of the clips from Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Betty White was great on SNL. She is 88 1/2 years old and manages to drop an occasional "f"bomb. Not so good when the teenager does it, but unusually funny when the white haired lady does. Go figure.

I found a few clips online, so Google Betty White SNL and see what comes up. The Scared Straight skit was my favorite and I got a chuckle out of the CSI: Sarasota skit too. Go Betty, you rock!

Reminder- 40% off sale, fixture sale and backroom sale.

Just a reminder that tomorrow starts the 40% off sale. It will be 40% off the already marked down product prices. (Not included in 40% off- Backroom sale mechandise and fixtures which will be priced as marked). We, meaning Kimmie and her friend, have been sorting through fixtures, wire racks and paper trays for tomorrow. We have stackable trays and peggable paper trays. We even have a few wooden paper displays as well. These will go fast, so be here early.

SUNDAY- We will be closed for Mother's Day.

Just braggin' on my Rays!

Garza pitched GREAT last night! The Rays are now 2-0 for the road trip with more West Coast games this week. Staying up until 10pm just for start time is about killing me though, and I can't seem to make it through more than five innings.

And if Garza pitching FAB was not enough, he is the first AL pitcher to win five games this season. Oh, and the Rays have the best record in baseball right now. Shall I go on?

I think the funky goatee Garza has been sporting is wierd, but I hope he doesn't cut it! It's goatee mojo is working.

Here's a picture of Garza from Spring Training.
