CSUB Baseball

In a discussion of school sports the other day I was told I knew a lot about the at this point non-existent CSUB baseball team. When asked why I said it is my school I figure I should know something about it and the information is right there on the school website. Well I found these advertisements for the first game which is February 20th, 2009 and enjoyed them so I thought I would share.


"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do, I stare out the window and wait for spring." -Rogers Hornsby
"Baseball is the only place in life where a sacrifice is really appreciated." -author unknown
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game- the American game." -Walt Whitman
"This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings." - Bill Veeck

I announced I was going to be an aunt and put pictures of the proud future grandparents, great grandparent and great great grandparent, but here are the most important people the parents. This is a picture from Tyler and Becky's engagement photos.

My friend Natalie got me this cool mug too.

Practice

Kameron's second birthday was on Wednesday, but his party isn't until Sunday. Well, Jenny asked me to make a cowboy boot cake. This was my practice cake to make sure she was happy with it. It was also beneficial to bake the practice cake because we were able to practice playing with different frosting tips. The real cake will not look like the practice one as far as frosting but the shape works.

Doing my part

Giving blood is something I enjoy to do but haven't seemed to have the time to do lately. So today after clinical I went over to the Houchin blood bank. The facility was nicer than any I have ever donated blood in. I felt odd enough taking the pictures I did so I didn't take more to show the magnitude of the donation area.

These are my cute chucks
Needles are so awesome.

And this is my blood flowing through the tube into a collection bag.

Dodger Fun

After clinical on Wednesday Jenny, Rob and I went to the Dodger game. It was Dodger blanket give away night so I now have another Dodger blanket to add to the collection. It was Jenny's first time at a major league baseball game and we all had a great time. My uncle, mom, brother, and sister-in-law were all at the game as well.

Unfortunately Bruiser and Sucker have past away. Yes I named them but only to help in identifying them from each other. Bruiser went first at about 4:00 am and Sucker at about 6:15. I am sad that they are gone but am glad that I know I did everything I could.

Around 8:30 Sunday morning I was woken up by a man and a woman having a conversation outside my front window. Once awake I took interest in the conversation wanting to know what was so important I needed to be woken up for. Well it turns out a stray cat had given birth to a kitten in one of the parking spots and left it there proceeding to hide under a car. After awhile I noticed there was another kitten in the middle of the road as well. The gentleman who had been talking to the woman proceeded to pick them up one by one and place them near the mom. The mom cat disappeared leaving the newborn kittens to care for themselves. Being the sucker I am I could not just leave them there to die. I went to the pet store and got kitten formula and a bottle and after cleaning them proceeded to feed them. For the past eight or so hours every one to two hours I have fed them, reheated the heat pad under them and stimulated them to urinate. Okay, maybe that last part was too much information. So far they are both still alive.

Before their bath

After their bath, they are going to need another one but I was more interested in keeping them alive and warm.

My mom is going to be a grandma before she's fifty. Her wish fulfilled.
