my bug-free, cold house

sorry for having to cut that last post short. the fumigators totally got here an hour early! they gave us the time frame of between 10 - 12. so, since i used to work in the fumigation industry, i knew that it would be closer to 12. uhhhhhhhh, guess its different here in the san diego area. they arrived at 9 am. wtf? luckily the house was pretty much ready, and all i had to do was load my car. but still, kinda frazzled me. get back to that later.......
so then yesterday we were able to come back in. had to put away all the food we had bagged up, and all the medicine. it was the perfect time to reorganize my shelves in a way that made more sense, and to clean the fridge. but i did find out that i missed bagging our wedding cake : ( it was in the bags, they just didn't get sealed. in all the frazzliness of friday morning, i didn't see that bag in the freezer. steve's gonna call and find out what they think we shoud do, but i'm sad. not like the cake was going to taste good when we finally get to eat it on our 1 year anniversary, but its the whole idea. so i'm bummed.
and, since we did the fumigation on a weekend, our gas can't be turned back on till later today. no gas= no heat, no hot showers or hot water to run the dishwasher or laundry, and NO
HEAT!!!!!!!!!! i'm freakin freezing mr. bigglesworth. seriously, good thing we live in so cal, cause i would not be able to handle any colder. actually, i can barely handle this! and since we do live in so cal where we rarely really need to turn on the heat, we also dont' have a space heater of any kind. yeah, thats gonna change.....................
anyways, so last night i was able to sleep just a tiny bit better knowing that the house was 100% bug (and rodent) free................ albeit cold. gotta love snugglin up w/my hubby to keep warm : )
now i'm just waiting for SDG&E man. i think i'll give him a huge hug when he gets here

the rest of the weekend was all right. i was not happy with being kicked out of our house, especially since we just got it back. i had the scrapbooking fever (oh, i did NOT Just say that.......) and i really wanted to get scrapping done. we stayed at my in-laws house, which was very nice of them- but DANG that bed is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo uncomfortable! mattresses really do make a difference to how well you sleep at night. don't know how i slept on that bed for 3 months (we lived with them when we first moved down here). oy.
but i got my green beer on st. patty's day. did a few irish car bombs. good times............


saturday we went to the World Baseball Classics. sooooo much fun!!! our friend rob hooked us up with some tickets, so we headed to petco park to watch Cuba vs. Dominican Republic and then Korea vs. Japan. I had no idea that baseball could be played differently. it really was like going to a new country to watch these baseball games! the first game, well i didn't really realize all the drama with Cuba. i just don't keep up with that stuff, or pay attention in history class (y'all remember how much i hate history, right?). anyways, so i guess there was all this extra security at that game, watching the cubans and making sure that they didn't try to sneak away and into our country, which we already said we'd accept them. oh my.......... i guess they only get paid $15 a month there for playing professional baseball!!! yeah, barry bonds or any american professional baseball player would have none of that. crazy.
anyways, so that was a fun game, but it was super cold. and the stands ran out of hot water for coffee and hot chocolate (not that i do/could drink either of those, just proving a point to how cold it really was). um, yeah, and now i don't even remember who won. i think it was cuba............
we had a few hours between the games. we walked around a bit, where the boys found this place to play video games. whats up with that? here my friend paula (robs girlfriend) shows perfectly what we were both thinking


ok, so then we walk around for over an hour trying to find some place to eat, with a happy hour. every place had crazy waits, it was ridiculous. we finally end up going to TGIFridays. found a table at the bar while we waited. when we got seated our waitress told us it was going to be up to an hour for our food!!!!!!!!! it was 6pm then, and the game started at 7. damnit jim! so we just drank a lot (mmm margaritas!) and we weren't that late to the game.

This game was Korea vs. Japan. and it was soooooooooooo different from the earlier game!!!! the fans were insane, and they had all these cheers that they would do in unison. insane i tell you! they even play differently. like korea pitches had this certain way that they pitch (something to do with their hips). and they're more precise with where the position their players. like, as in inches. crazy. this time we had blankets (thanks to rob & paula's good planning ahead) and were filled with alcohol, so it wasn't as cold. but it started to rain in the 7th inning! it was the first ever rain delay at petco park. exicting stuff. but don't worry, we had our poncho's (thanks to steve's mom good planning ahead for us...........). we had a good time dancing around in the rain with our ponchos on. trying to get on the jumbo tron (which i totally called a scan tron.........i'm such a ditz). when the game finally started up again, about 1/2 hour later, most everyone had left so all us hardcore baseball fans got to sit at field level. sweet. Japan won, i was rooting (sp???) for korea so i was a bit bummed. but not really, i was actually quite sleepy after all that beer. feel asleep the minute i got in the car. good times! (blogger isn't letting me post any more pictures. dang. so i'll have to post the pancho pictures later..................)

now i'm just waiting for my new student to arrive!!!!!! (that little boy is coming full time- woo hoo!!!!) have a fabulous monday y'all!!!!
