Cats, Baseball & Quitting
---------------------------------

Well, yesterday, the Boyfriend and I went to the Twins playoff game. Boyfriend is a big Twins fan, and it was nice to go to something as exciting as the playoffs. In Minnesota, we are used to disappointment. Everyone loves the Vikings, even though they hate them- we watch them week after week. So yes, the Twins lost, and even though we literally parked 30 blocks from the Metrodome- we both had a really good time. the thing i was bummed about is that Boyfriend was SO excited to go. We ordered tickets on e-bay. They arrived via Fedex a mear 3 hours before the game. other than the parking debacle, we had a wonderful time. There is so much energy in a place like that. So many people, so excited to cheer on their team. There is nothing else like it. So we'll wait til friday to see if the Twins Dreams of advancing the playoffs are squashed or if they make it another round, but then they'll have to win three in a row. GO TWINS! Actually the thing that i like best about the Twins and A's playing in the playoff's is that once upon a while ago- when i was a kid i loved the Oakland Athletics. My father bought my brother baseball cards, and he wasn't interested in them at all- but i was. from that point on, my father was diligent at taking me to games and playing a dice game about baseball. He took me to many oakland A's games to see Mark McGuire(pre-steriods) and would always try to get us seats along the first base line. out of 4 kids, i was the only one he ever brought. those are good memories. so in addition to the excitement of the playoff game, i got to see my old favorite team, and it made me feel good. :)

Cats, oh the cats. The Boyfriend and I don't have children. The debate as to whether we will or NOT is on going. i'm leaning toward no, he's leaning toward yes- in a few years. The miracle of birth control is keeping us child free for now, and we spoil our kitties rotten. we just bought black kitties a leash so we can bring him outside, and eventually i may bring him on walks. anyhow, today, my friend, TruckerChick brough over Nanner's her tiny adorable chiuahua over to my house to steal my WiFi, and hang out for the day. Needless to say the little rotten piglets did not like that. Poncho, aka Nanners, aka Nannies, aka Nanners Bannaners trotted into the house and encountered the kitties. Sebastian IMMEDIATELY ran upstairs and hid under the bed- where he frequently hides when he doesn't like what is going on- Black Kitties on the other hand stood his ground, hair raised, tail poofed, trying to be big and tough- not realizing he is three times nanner's size. eventually ran upstairs as well. when we left for lunch (McDonalds Asian Chicken Salad- AWESOME) the cats slowly made their way down stairs and i'm sure explored the damage. We sat and worked for a while longer and eventually black kitties made it back downstairs only to be chased by nanners into the basement. i locked nanners out of the basement to comfort black kitties when i realized sebastian was already down there. Black Kitties just wanted to be with his buddy to hide out in the basement. after Nanners left, they eventually came out of hiding and now they are comfortably sleeping on their respective blankets, by their respective owners, on our respective couches.

AND FINALLY. Quitting. I basically quit my job today. as i mentioned before, i have the luxury of working from home. i have a scatterbrained boss, who basically pays me to keep her thoughts intact from day to day. and i am actually a damn good loan processor. today the shit went down. i don't want to go into boring details, but basically the owner of the company who has been an ass the entire time she's worked with him, and with held my pay for multiple un grounded reasons (including a check i should have recieve 3 weeks ago) was an ass today. i am no longer working with that company. i will still work for the CrazyAsianBoss, and we have a good gig lined up, but i was on the phone for over 4 hours today making plans and changes and talking about the shit going down, and basically i'm done with the whole thing. the new gig will be basically the same, but just a different company.

that is all- here is a picture of Boyfriend at the twins game!
