Monday

As if to say 'good thing you bought that treadmill', the gym's music was really ugly this morning and loud. And there was some kind of talking. I had earphones in and my book going so all I could really make out was just annoying noise. My future treadmill talks will be annoying noise free. I went back to check this morning and the Costco website says it will be here in 2-5 business days. Which means before the weekend and labor day (when the gym is closed) so yeah!

Also the treadmill at the gym has arms that come out and mess with my arms. I can swing my arms but I brush up against the treadmill's and so I generally just put my hands on them which is not optimum treadmilling. Mine has no arms which will be way better.

I have a short grocery list of non-critical items and I wouldn't mind a vanilla cake from Trader Joe's. Maybe there will be an outing later today. I do need to clean up the sewing room after quilt-a-paloosa. And I also want to sew up some of the fabric on my shelves. I made a great dent with the quilts. Now I need to tackle some of the other fabric. I think maybe a light weight long sleeved top... or two - for starters.

The cats have a new version of king on the mountain today. The one who didn't get the prime spot in the bowl, goes to the other side of the room and pretends to find something AMAZING!!! The one in the bowl then goes to investigates and so, immediately loses his turn as the one across the room makes a beeline for the bowl. And again. And again. The internet says they are now 9 in people years. Seems about right.

Tonight the Mariners start 3 games with the Yankees. It could, and probably will, get ugly. Oh well.

Shower time.

But, first, Biggie from last night.

Weren't those players' weekend uniforms just awful? Don't know who in the MLB PR Dept. came up with that idea, but I hope they get fired.

SO SO SO horrible!! On Friday night, the woman sitting next to me said 'it looks like we have the burglars playing the painter guys!' cracked me up and she was so right. At least we had the black ones so you could see the names/numbers. The white guys really got screwed.

Even the announcers were making snide comments saying they kept thinking the umpires were players when the Mariners were in the field.

Just absolutely horrible.

The Red Sox announcers hated them too, and made the same remark about not being able to tell the umpires from the visiting fielders. (I noticed that the home plate umpire was wearing light blue; why were the base umpires not doing the same?)

[susandennis]

Umpires in light blue???? The whole thing was just nuts.

My TiVo just tried to convince me I wanted to watch the Yankees at Mariners game. It was mistaken, but it made me wonder if you were there. I guess not, if you were making Mongolian Madeira Rice-a-Roni!

[susandennis]

Yeah because of the stupid Yankees, ESPN is covering (as well as our local sports network). TiVo tried to record the ESPN version. NFW, thankyouverymuch. I fixed.

And, yeah, the Mongolian Madeira Rice-a-Roni semi failed. It will be tried again with flank steak or some other non-hambuger situation :)

What a great picture! King of the Mountain sounds hilarious.

Oh, so that's why the Phillies were in black on Sunday. My friend and I were in a restaurant where the game was on with no sound. While I still don't know why they're wearing black, I now know that it is a thing across the league. Maybe I'll get curious enough to search for more info, but probably I will not.

[susandennis]

Nah, you can just leave it. Hopefully, it will never happen again.

I hate the music they usually play in gyms.
