Red Sox Prayer

(This is Kenny signing the Green Monster @ Fenway in 2004!! That's right, 2004, the year they won the World Series...it must have brought them luck then, so I'm posting it here in hopes that it will bring them luck again tonight!!)

Our Father, who art at Fenway...
Baseball be thy game.
They Kingdom come,
Playoffs need to be won,
On Earth, then on to the Cask 'n' Flagon.

Give us this day, a perfect Papi,
And forgive us our losses,
As we forgive those,
Like Bill Buckner.

And lead us not, into desperation,
But deliver us from any losses.

For thine is the Power,
And the Glory,
To beat the Indians,
Forever and ever....the Yankees suck

A-men

Stupid Is As Stupid Does...

Suffice it to say that my financial situation is, at the moment, struggling. On my list of things to do today (you know, besides drop two kids off at school, work 8 hours, go to the grocery store, go to the post office, go downtown to run an errand, pick the kids up, make dinner, give the kids a bath, and put the kids to bed) was to:

1. Call the bank to discuss $60 in fees they've placed on my Savings Account
2. Call the phone company and ask them to be courteous and remove my $200 worth of overage fees from last month
3. Call the credit card company to ask them to remove the $30 over limit fee they placed on my account

When you're poor, you have no shame and will think nothing of doing the above mentioned items...6 months ago, I would have happily paid all of the above...now, yeah not so much. So I call my credit card company and PRAISE THE LORD, I got someone who could speak English!! I knew right then that the call would go my way...no worries at all, they happily waived the fee. Score!

I was on a roll, so I immediately called my bank's 1-800 Customer Service number. I finally get through to a real person and they needed to verify my identity...no problem, I can appreciate that. Social Security #? Check. First and last name? Check. Full address including zip code? Check. Telephone number? Check. Verbal password? Check. Last 4 digits of your checking and savings accounts? "For Christ's sake lady, my checking account has $1.65 in it and my savings account is $60 overdrawn, if someone else wants access to that, they can HAVE IT!" And that's a direct quote.

I haven't attempted the phone company yet...I think my luck is running out...

...And She Smashed The Rear View Mirror With Her Fist, Because Starting Today, She's Never Looking Back

Rock On Boston!!

You can thank the Sox for another post from me tonight! Since I'm sitting here watching them cream the Indians, I thought I'd post for the second day in a row!! Very exciting, I know. Just another one of these thingys, but hey, at least I'm here ya'll...

“If I had to” section...

I do dye my hair…blonde, blonde and a little more blonde

4. If you HAD to change your name...what new name would you choose?

9. Let's say the President called you. How would the conversation go?
