I am so ready to go home and relax but since we have an event today the office is stuck open all day. I was hoping we’d get that half-day email alert but nope. But that’s okay; I was already mentally prepared to work a full day anyway.

I am looking forward to the three-day weekend though. I’ll be heading up to my Aunt’s house tomorrow for the family barbeque. It’s been a few years since I last showed my face at a family event [I think the last one was Christmas in 2005!] and it’ll be good for me. Besides, they are family you know.

Other than that I have no plans for this weekend. Which is really nice. I can just relax and alternately sleep and eat and watch TV. Or at least look at the TV. Maybe I’ll finally get around to cleaning my room and updating The Binder with all the wacky new ideas I came up with since the last version [I have no idea which version wedding I’m on at the moment…the sequel 5.0?]. Never hurts to keep things up to date you know. Besides, I need that hardcopy to be reflective of my online versions because I’m not always going to be on my computer and I would like to pull it out on the rare occasions that I actually show someone [actually, the only person I do show the book to is Lindsey…who is also the lucky recipient of all the txt messages and IMs of my latest and greatest ideas].

But I definitely need to pare down the stuff that’s accumulated in my room. I don’t know where it’s coming from; no wait, I do, but it still needs to go. And I could use a good vacuum and dusting while I’m at it. And I might as well change the sheets in my bed. And now that I just added three more items to my checklist I’m pretty sure my chances of getting any of it done has gone down proportionately. Whew, just thinking about those chores is making me sleepy. Oh wait, I should save that excuse for later.

So I had the following exchange with Pat the other day:

Patrick: Jeremy said he gives you crap trades becuz it looks like u don’t manage your team so he figured u don’t care

Talda: Well, I don’t care but that doesn’t give him license to constantly insult my intelligence. Obviously I know enough to not bite at his offers.

Patrick: Yah I was telling him yesterday that u know ur baseball so good luck tryin to get hanley and whoever. He said he’ll make better offers

Talda: Besides, I have more important things to worry about. things like my hair. LOL. Don’t tell him that part!

Patrick: Hahahahahahaha.

And guess who got another trade offer for Carlos Quentin, Jose Guillen and Carlos Lee for Johan Santana and Hanley Ramirez. The same exact trade he always makes. So much for making better offers.

But I have to give credit to my coworker for responding with this gem after I emailed him about the latest trade offer: “who does he expect you to play at SS? I love when people propose trades like this…three B-’s for two A+ Quality stuff.”

Indeed.

And yes, I did threaten the other boys with physical violence against their “jewels” should I get another ridiculous trade request again. Let’s see if they try it again.

I say three days until the next one.
