Can I PLEASE say that we are going to the World Series, NOW?

I know i was optomistic about the Rangers going to the world series... and quite frankly I had no idea we would... of course.. but i was just really really hoping we would, just this one time... (and maybe next year too.) I know that there was some negative feeback, that we wouldnt be going, and to basically not be surprised if we dont make it.... but its not like I put all of my energy into that the Rangers MUST win.... no... im not like that... really no one should.. but I know that there are some extreme fans out there... that just would have been so depressed and angry if the rangers did NOT make it this far... of course now everyones expectations are just THAT much higher, im sure many people are thinking we MUST win the World Series now.... but anyways--

needless to say im thrilled that the rangers are going to the world series. :) its soo exciting. The rangers have never been to the world series.
On friday evening, I was talking to my dad in the top half of the 5th inning (i was driving) - dad told me it was 1-1... i was scared that we wouldnt win.. -- For a few moments I thought (no

i ran into my apt really fast to grab something... as i was driving through the complex, many back doors were open and you could see the game going... as i was lockign the door behind me - all of a sudden there was an uproar from the complex... i knew something good had happened.. dad called me as i was going down the stairs, told me its 5-1 now!!! yaaah i couldnt believe it! we were winning.

I went over to a friends house to watch the remainder of the game. i was driving over there, had the game on in the car--- they were saying "everyone is standing up... it looks like Kyle Field" - (talking about how a&m aggies stand during their whole game... the people in the stands..)--- it was really great feeling when i got to the tv and could see that everyone was standing... and how everyone was in red... all you could see was red :) (and speckled with some blue and white.) it was so great seeing everyone having so much pride for their team.





The first game of the world series begins wednesday night, against the San Francisco Giants, in San Francisco. -- The first game back in arlington will be on Saturday (which i may have tickets to one of the home games... a BIG maybe)

Ticket prices are now $500 + a ticket... yeah.. i typed that right... $500. we may get tickets for $125 / $175.... but we will have to see.

I think that its just really cool.. this time next week we could be World Series Champs.... or whatever---

just cool to think about... I think we done pretty good. :) if this is as far as we get, i would be ok with that... however how cool would it be if we WIN the world series?? --- pretty cool.

ticket sales for next year would be better.. .rather than the 1/2 empty stadium like it was at the first of this season, since they went to the world series... which would be good.
I think that since they've gotten this far it has given a since of positive unity. :) --- i know... weird... but the majority of the people that i know are rooting for the rangers.

People are cancelling events to just watch the World Series... We are cancelling / rescheduling activities that are normally held at the church on wedndesday evenings... something that like never happens.

anyways... we'll see what happens... :)


Go rangers!

Halloween Costume... Audrey Hepburn

Taking a time-out for rangers update... they lost yesterday, by the way... but hopeuflly we'll win friday (it will be played back here...well, in arlington.)

So this year, i started early on halloween costume... eeer let me rephrase that.. i started THINKING early on halloween costume. im really not one who changes their mind a million times before deciding up on one...

if you would have asked me. 3 months ago, i was going to be Lady Gaga. (very out of character for me...) --- when I discovered that it was goign to be a popular choice this year, i decided against it (that, and the fact that it would be alot of work coming up with a costume ... this was before i realized that they have packaged Gaga costumes)

I am not a fan of packaged costumes.. .theres no fun in packeged costumes... i like trying to find the perfect outfit for who i want to be...

continuing on...

if you would have asked me 2 weeks ago what i was going to be..... i would have answered "princess leia.."


I thought i found a good dress ... well it actually was given to me... but anyways... i decided to NOT be her...

I watched "Breakfast at Tiffanys" last week... and decided "im going to be audrey Hepburn for halloween.

I have a black dress (no not perfect for what she has... ) then i got long black gloves, Im not going to spend $20 on a tiara that im going to wear for one night... this is going to be a cheap costume. so yesterday I got some hair combs, and im going to put shiney "jewels" on it..  we will see how it comes out...  I have had a hard time finding a cigarette holder like what she has in the movie, so i got a 29cent  stick from micheals yesterday... my boyfriend is dressing up as Han Solo... and he had to paint his gun... so will be using leftover black paint to paint the stick.
I got some beads... which will do :)

all i lack are some shoes... black High heels.... if nothing else, i can wear some other shoes i've got... (most likely what i'll do, since im trying to save money here.

I know i do not have brown/black hair... so prob wont be exactlly be like her... i may get some of that spray that you spray in your hair, that will wash out... we'll see.

So far i've spent about $20 on the costume... and still need to get some make-up... (stuff that I can use in the future... i think)

so i cant wait....

Maybe ill have some pictures up soon.


only a week and couple of days 'til halloween! wooo!
cant believe how time has flown.

Rangers

Yep, we did it again :)

Now, i missed the game last night, i checked the score a couple of times, but didnt wtch it... SO, pointless update... but we did win.... TX 10.. NY 3...

SO, Good job once again, Rangers.

Next game is today--- at 3pm our time..

Im sure that there will be lots of people sticking by their desks today to listen to the game, or keeping watch on the computer...

we will have to see what happens.

World Series... Here we COME!

... Well maybe.???

Texas Rangers did it again... we won last night at game #3.

I had the radio going and was watching on the Rangers website (they have a diagram that I watch...) i know im pitiful, but I dont have tv service....
Texas was up in New York Last night, the game was at 7:00 last night--- (our time)
So based from what I saw / heard.... in the 2nd Inning we were 2-0 (texas) --- then I really listened in the 9th inning...i cant remember specifics... but all i know is that texas completely shutout...the Yankees. :)
the final score was 8-0.
amazing. :)
Thought it was funny- according to the radio - they were saying in the 8th Inning the yankee fans were leaving in droves... they KNEW that they didnt have a chance to catch up.
I just want to say --- great Job to the Rangers.. I can forsee us in the World Series already....
will i buy world series tickets? probably not (too expensive.)

but really hope they get there.

They play again tonight, still in NY- at 7pm...
 hopefully they will beat them again :)

Texas Rangers!

Won one, Lost one So far....

First game was on friday October 15 2010... in Arlington, Texas. ....
Lost the first Game against the Yankees --- I kind of watched the first game--- We were ahead by so much-- it was like 5-0 or something... and i thought for sure we had it... so i stopped paying attention, next thing I know, we were like losing... so I know we all were so disappointed....Rangers lost by one point.... Rangers 5 ... Yankees 6...

The next game was saturday afternoon, still in Arlington, Texas... I didnt get to watch any of it... i kept track of it online, we were ahead for all of the game, as far as  I can tell... we won - Rangers 7- NY 2.

Game 3 is tonight, up in New York... hope our Rangers will keep it up... hope they got over thier nervousness and will defeat them :) Game starts at 7:07 my time... so once again I wont be watching on the tv, but will keep watch on the computer. :)

That is my Rangers Update :)

Misc.

Alrighty-- lots going on..

first::

Texas Rangers are in thePlayoffs!! tonight rangers vs yankees... gonna be good. i cant wait.. soo awesome... just a sense of unity... i dont know..
Today i went to a sports store (Acadamy - Sports and Outdoors) went to go get my dad a t-shirt...
i WAS going to get him tix to the game, but they were too expensive for my budget... so i know he will be happy with the shirt... probably more so than the ticket... ehhh probably not.. but its all i can do for right now...
anyways so while I was in the store, everyone was so nice-- everyone was hovering over the Rangers merchandise... there was a lady, we both ewere going through the shirts trying to find different sized.. she was looking for a shirt with "hamilton" on the back of it, in an XL, I was looking for a "Lee" in an XL... so here we are going through... she found her shirt, i mosied on over to a different rack.. just funny we all were there for the same reason....
our home team had made it to the playoffs.... we all were going to go to some sort of watch party or to the actual game, and we are looking for a shirt to wear so we can seem like we are into the game. :) i dunno.. but after 39 years of the rangers never making it this far...pretty awesome.
like my dad said the other day... Cliff Lee is like the Moses of this time..  haha... anyways---
while im not HUGE into baseball, i grew up with it, with my brother playing it from t-ball and into highschool.. i try to at least keep up with if they won or lose (i work with alot of guys, so talkign about the game the night before, or at least knowing how the home team did..... it helps in awkward moments when walking down the hallway or  whatnot..) anyways--- so i cant wait.
Tonight my family is getting together at my granny's to watch the game-- will be fun.

Lets see....
i moved last month due to my apt being broken into... not sure if i've shared that or not..
so im in a new apt, love it.. feel much more safe.
despite my noisy neighbors..

but love the actual apartment, so nice and big, im being more organized... well for the most part.
I have to clean house this weekend... laundry's overflowin... dishes are stacked... and closet is a mess, but if i work hard for like an hour, it will be fabulous.
I want to make some curtains for my living room and for my bedroom.
i need to still hang pictures.. then thats it.. :) it will really feel like home.
I have got to figure out a different way to organize my closet... its horrible.

i want to have a game night in November... so i gotta get it really in shape... and have people over and everything..
while im at it...

i also got word im losing my job... so once again, on the job hunt...

i went to University of North Texas (UNT) to look at it..
i know i want to go there..
just i wanted to talk to the Journalism dept to see about getting into photojourn. looks like i can.. (gotta get grades up first so it will prob be next summer or next fall. :) so its exciting... something that i really cant wait for.
i loved being up there.. loved the atmospere, i cant wait til i can get up there... they were doing a "slushie " thing, from Glee-- where they pour slushie on yuou... it was so funny-- different sororities and Fraternaties were doing some other stuff. just a fun atmosphere...

alrighty think you are all up to date :)

Go rangers!!!

Its October~

Happy Fall - Everyone!

Welcome to my favorite season ---
Season filled with Change -- leaves are changing, weather is changing--- ya know.. the usual. - State fair is in town, high school football is going on (well i guess all football is going on, but i only care about hs)  my tv shows are back on from being on summer break - coffeeshops are diggin' out their fall flavors (mmm... :) ) (cant wait to spend some time @ roots this season!)

So glad we are not longer seeing the triple digits here in Texas. :) - last weekend a cool front came through, and it was just awesome. i've had windows/ doors open a few times this week and the a/c off. :) makes me happy. i'm tellin' ya, doesnt take much to make this girl happy.
Time to start finding the "perfect" pumpkin, figuring out Halloween costume and plans, time to start looking up recipes for thanksgiving, i hope to contribute this year with some recipes, already found a yummy cheese cake to make.... then of course, starting to think about Christmas. my oh my how time has flown. (in some spots it slowed way down) but it was a crazy year... but good. I kow that God has a lot of big plans for me, i know that he is 'prepping' me for what is to come--- and i cant wait to see what he has in store. - ---
we've got 3 months left of this year.
