I feel like I have been censoring myself lately...

"Choose me. Pick me. Love me."

I know what it's like to feel like that. Hoping and praying that the one person you care about most in the world chooses you. Decides that you are the one they want to spend the rest of their life with.

I also know what its like when they don't choose you.

No one has ever really chosen me. They always pick the other one. They always pick anything other than me...

NY State of Mind

Mark your calendars everyone - I'm going to NY in June for my 10 year high school reunion. I get in early on the Thursday prior to the reunion and I leave on Monday.

Here is the list of things I need to get done before I go to NY:
1. Reserve rental car - This will be the first time I rent a car while I am in NY. The hope is that having a rental car will give me the freedom to d0/see/accomplish everything that I want to do, while in relative, air conditioned comfort. (Sorry but I have been spoiled since living in Vegas - air conditioning is a necessity.)

2. Get Yankee tixx - radaromalley: how do you want to go about that? Do you want to hold off a while? Or should we go ahead and get seats? Its your call...

3. Find an outfit for the reunion - the girl in me has come out for this one. Looking back I realize that, with the exception of the uniform I had to wear day in and day out, I had a HORRENDOUS sense of style 10 years ago. I would like to think that it has improved somewhat. So I will spend the next few weekends searching out the perfect outfit. It's not that I want to impress anyone, its more that I want to feel good and look good for me.

4. Pack - Yes I know I have a lot of time for this, but to be honest, I usually wait until the very last minute to get this done, which always means I am rushing through the airport. I HATE BEING RUSHED.

5. Get a birthday gift for my nephew - My sister is having his birthday party (a month after the fact) while I am in town, so I want to get him a little something. What do you get a 6 year old who loves Spiderman?

6. Get a graduation gift for my brother - How crazy is this? Within 24 hours of my high school reunion, my little brother graduates from high school. I love it. But I want to get him something nice. I have a lot of brainstorming to do on this one. I want him to feel the way I did when he gave me a college graduation gift. (I don't want him to cry though...)

So much to do, so little time...

More on Matt

This picture was taken during Matt's first (and only so far) appearance in Yankee Stadium on 4/21. He pitched a perfect 9th inning, striking out the first batter he faced, and forcing the other two into ground outs. Matt was optioned back to Columbus on April 30 to make room for Aaron Small who had been on the disabled list. I am sure that his time in the majors is not over. We had a great preview...

In todays edition of the Las Vegas Sun, there is a nice interview with Matt. If you would like to check it out, click this link:

I am so mad right now

This completely stinks. Matt Smith was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday when Aaron Small was reinstated after being on the disabled list. Can someone be traded or get hurt so that Matt can get back on the roster???

God damn it!!!

NY Yankee management sucks. Matt was just optioned to AAA Columbus because Aaron Small came off the DL. They suck.
