Cold Weather stinks
I'm sitting at home and Buie fell asleep so I have nothing
to do. I'm on spring break too so I'm feeling a little blogging.

I am home because I want to get MOM out of the house because
it'll be a week since her surgery and I think she shouldn't have
a problem and NEEDS to get out. She has made nice bounds from
when she came out of surgery until now though. She better not
be getting surgery anytime soon again though because for me,
spending 14 hours at a hospital without a comfy bed stinks.
The validated parking and the pancakes weren't bad though.
ANYWAY.....what better than the mall and some Olive Garden.
I'm predicting she complains and doesn't want Olive Garden
when it comes time though. I'm really craving some all you
can eat soup salad and breadsticks. Specifically, some Zuppa
Tuscana soup. Highly recommended.

The reason for the mall trip is also because my phone just
FELL APART. I loved that phone until about a month ago when
a couple buttons started acting up and last weekend it was
closed a little violently. and by that I mean I'm sticking up
for the phone because it wasn't violent at all. but all week it
was making a clicking sound until finally a piece came off and
the flip was just hanging there. then last night i dropped it on
CARPET and it just broke in half. It was hardly aided in the process
and I'm steamed about it.

After a little retirement period I'm back to playing baseball.
I walked on to the RMU club baseball team. It's part of the NCBA
at clubbaseball.org. There is pretty much 3 classifications of
college sports. First is the highest degree of the NCAA, then
comes club, the comes intramurals. I had some time due to my
smaller workload this semester, although the classes seem to be
getting really tough, so i decided to give it a try. I havn't
been able to to use aluminum bats for a few years (the league
i played in the past couple years is wooden bat) so I wanted
to jump at the opportunity. Hopefully I can make some updates
on here as the season rolls along. RMU baseball shirts for 10
bucks if anyone wants one!!!!

As for my schedule:
Finance
(three hours of online testing due every week Saturday at midnight)
Sport in American Society
Intro to Casino Gaming operations
(yes it is as fun as it sounds, we learn how to play and cheat card games alot)
Java Programming
(Probably my favorite class because it is really challenging but has an amazing sense of completion when you actually code a working program)
Management Theory and Practice
(ugh)


Robert Morris Basketball got upset in our conference tournament
on sunday. We were the #1 seed and had we won on sunday, we
would have went to the championship game on Wednesday. Winning
our conference tournament give us an automatic bid to the
NCAA march madness tournament which would have been a huge
deal for RMU. Another interesting fact is that ESPN would have
been at RMU for the championship game because they are telecasting
it and we had home court advantage throughout the tournament.
ANOTHER fact is that I was scheduled to shoot a half court
shot for 2 round trip airline tickets to anywhere that US
airlines flies. I had the option between sunday or Wednesday
and since Wednesday would have been on ESPN, i risked holding
off until then...and of course my luck is unfair to me and we
lost. I estimate that i could make that half court shot 1/5
times which i think were good odds.

I think i should quit because im starting to consistently not capitalize my I's.

I feel I owed my viewer (s) a long post.

    Sheesh, Bu, you expect me to comment on all this at one sitting? You give me too much credit. I'm old, remember? Tell you what, I'll comment a little each day for like a week and then it will feel like you're posting for a week, but you already got the work done. :-)
    (And it will look like you have lots of readers. Er, I mean, you will have lots of comments.)
    Firstly, let me say that taking Hazel out for lunch was a wonderful sonly thing to do. I'm sending you a hug for that.
    K, c u 2morrow! I need a nap now.

    Just to clear things up. When i first asked about the olive garden, it was shot down as predicted. Then, as i congratulated myself for an accurate prediction...she realized her mistake and gave in. Nevertheless, 10 points for me

    I can't seem to get past the soup. Me and food, the world's greatest love affair. Please tell me about the
    Zuppa Tuscana. I'm guessing that translates to Tuscan Soup... You could sneak that into your header... you know, a little personalization.

    I'm completely sold on the zuppa.
    How handy that your mom can hook you up with that after you clean for her.
    So sorry to hear about your fone. I fell in love w/my first one and I still miss it to this day...

    I would be interested in purchasing an RMU shirt.
    Your picture is on it right?
    But seriously, tell me colors that are available in size Small and put me down for one. I would wear it proudly. Will you take a check?

    You never let us know how the game was...
    And I guess I was wrong about this being posted LAST November.
