Stroll down memory lane

No surprise to people that know me, but I was a bit of a tomboy growing up. It’s not that I don’t like pretty things, dolls, dressing up, etc. (shoes are still good accessories absolutely-necessary-goods to get if one has the cash), so I still was a girlie-girl [tee-hee]. But, I also have liked playing [...]

All about the nonsense

Image via Wikipedia
Bow-chicka-wow-wow! It’s Limericks Day! It’s a day to write/read/say “fun” poems in honor of Edward Lear’s birthday [May 12th], whom wrote all sorts of nonsense. I’ve enjoyed his writings since before I could analyze them to death [for various literature classes]. So, to celebrate the day, I’ve written some more of [...]

Another season opens!

It’s the start of another season! [Major League] Baseball, of course. Opening Day is today, Monday, April 6th, and hopes are high for another interesting year, maybe without a steroid dabacle even. Dare we dream? Indeed, it’s the stuff the Houston Astros are made of…dreams (for we have little else at the moment, but who [...]

One small step forward

Dear Astros,
Has my last letter to you actually done some good? The dear Houston baseball team scraped together a win today. Though, they still lose the series. *grumble, groan* But, it’s a step. Let’s hope those ballplayers don’t fall up the stairs [again]. *chants to self* Must keep believing…must keep believing.

R-I-P Astros

Dear Astros,
I’m writing your obituary today, much like the Houston Chronicle did that one year, in efforts that maybe you’ll wake the heck up and start living up to the potential and hopes you talk about day after day. I realize all teams have their ups and downs, and without the likes of the “Killer [...]

O is for O-O-O-Oreo cookie

O is also for…the wizard of Os!!! (pronounced Oh’s) Of course, current Texas baseball enthusiasts should know I’m referring to Roy Oswalt of the Houston Astros, whom received his first win of the season tonight in a 2-1 win against the Philadelphia Phillies! Alleluia, it’s about time.
In other letters news, my site of [...]

Weekend Poetry – Gossip Edition

Hello there! It’s time to see how the Weekend Wordsmith has inspired me. This week, the writing prompt is a picture of two people telling a secret to one another.
Basketball is hot, hot, hot today in Houston, thanks to our team on a winning streak. So, I’ve written a little haiku in honor of their [...]

Take me out the ball game

The smell of Astroturf is in the slightly chilled Spring air!
It’s time once again to check in with my favorite minor league baseball player,  pitcher Adam Cowart. When we last left him, he had just helped the San Jose Giants (Single A advanced minor league team of the SF Giants organization) win the California [...]

SuperBowl Madness and Ads that make one say WTF

First of all, a big “WOOHOO!” to the New York Giants for winning the game (17-14), and upsetting those so-called perfect New England Patriots [record]. Although the game was kind of boring for me, and not a lot of scoring on either side (well, until after the game, that is – hah! For the losing [...]

Friday Football Madness

A bittersweet night here..cold on the outside, and I feel fortunate not to be out in it. I actually roasted marshmallows tonight, which were a delicious dessert after turkey leftovers. The pill came in the form of a well-played football game.

The Pearland Oilers fought to the end, but just couldn’t quite get the win (score: [...]
