Dodging an Idiot

This past Thursday night, the Hub, Caroline, Minh and I went to see the LA Dodgers. It wasn't any ole Dodger Game but the last home game of the season! What does that mean? It means the stadium was C-rowded!!! As in sold out. As in 52,000 people in the same spot craziness! I am in no way a patient person so having to wait 45 minutes in the car to even get to the stadium was exasperating! The stadium is only a mile or two from my house so you can imagine the super slow crawl to the stadium.

After arriving we find that our preferred parking is only good if you get there before the stadium sells out. Having never been to a sold out game before this has never come up as an issue. We drove around, and around, and around and finally found a space. We got to our seats in time for the bottom of the 4th inning and lucky us, we got to sit by the biggest a**hole in the history of Dodger fans. Sorry to swear but really I had to use this word to describe this man.

When we arrived we saw four seats open so assuming they were ours we sat in them. Then this guys turns to the Hub in a super snotty way and says, "Umm you're in my seats. My wife is coming and you're in her seats. And then he goes on to say I think I know you are in the wrong seats." HOLD ON MISTER! Why this guy had to be a jerk from the start I don't know? So we turned and booted the two little kids that were sitting in our seats out. We looked at him and sneered in our heads "Why did you have to make us kick those two cute little kids out? P.S. there is no way your wife is coming at this point as we barely got in, you jerk!"

Even after we got in our correct seats, he kept turning to us to say that his wife was coming. As I am a complainer myself, I recognized like and realized that this type of complainer was the kind that doesn't shut up about complaining about stuff. At least I realize I am getting bad and shut up. But he complained about everything and really loudly. I think everyone around us was annoyed. What was annoying to me was that this guy brought a radio and had it pushed up against his ear so he cold hear the game. Perhaps, if he ever shut up he would be able to hear the game perfectly fine. Just a thought?

He even complained people were hitting too many of those beach balls around to the security guards. (um - Kill Joy) Really buddy? Really? Well, he really pissed me off when the Hub got up to pee and he asked the man to excuse him to let him in the isle. When the Hub left, said idiot complained that people should exit their side of the seats. He went on and on about it. I really wanted to throw my peanuts at him. The Hub came back and I told him what the guy said. He was about to get into it when I told him it wasn't worth it. The Hub, for your reference either had to climb over three people to get out or climb over him and his little kid, who took up no space and half of the time wasn't even in his own seat!

Anyhoo, bad seating partners aside we watched the Dodgers win the Western Conference! Oddly, they lost the game against the San Diego Padres that night but they made the championships! Go Dodgers!!!!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
