sooo much to say..
today was such a good day. i'm really going to miss my internship when summer ends. i was so excited when i got to work today b/c i have been so bored lately. but then as soon as i got in and sat down jeff handed me all these phone numbers to call about the upcoming scouting event this weekend. i just felt so pressured so that wasn't good but that soon went away. christina and i had to change the sign outside and of course the other team had to be out there whistling at us (or rather at christina) constantly.. ugh but oh well.. then i did the program inserts and like usual was nice and folded extras for jose. he teased me about it at first but then was all nice and kept calling me sweetie. one time he even yelled it across the office.. it was hilarious and really cute. there is just something about him where i want to be around him all the time. i think it's b/c he's weird and not ashamed of that. he isn't trying to be someone else and i really respect that. around this time dylan, the 11 year old bat boy, comes into the office and i just lit up. besides my cousins, i have never liked a little 11 year old this much. he is a pill and completely goofy but i love him. he is so adorable. i tease him like crazy and he teases me right back. he pretends to hit me and when he's in his junior jalapeno outfit he hits me with his tail. it's hard to explain but i just love dylan
after the office, i got my bat girl kelsey and she was a ham. so cute and shy at first but once i got her a ball from a player, she went nuts and got all of them to sign it. there were so many players in the dugout when i went in there and they all were eager to take pics with kelsey. it was so sweet. i asked them if i could have a ball for her and some new guy (i'll call him #29) was all dramatic and said "i guess i'll go find one.. but you're so demanding!" he basically teased me the whole time i was there b/c i wanted gum and then for him to sign the ball and whatnot. it was quite funny considering we had just met. while down there i just asked all the guys to sign her ball. she was a catcher so she had to make sure she got the catchers to sign it. since i hold a special place for catchers, i made sure she did ;) while i waited for her to get back from off the field, michael (the new shortstop) came by and gave me a huge high five. it was soo cool! i also found out that i get to throw the first pitch on tuesdays game in a CHICKEN COSTUME. lol! church's chicken is our sponser that day so i get to dress up and throw the pitch and keep the ball.. woohoo! i'm so looking forward to that! i also get to throw the first pitch as myself the very last day i work. dave is the best for making that happen =) during the game i had to make copies of a survey i'm going to give the fans and the stupid copy machine went all nuts and messed up. so my buddy rob (the medic -first aid- for the game) helped me out. he stayed with us a couple weeks ago when we had to stay at the ballpark for the scout sleep over. he's pretty cool and so funny. he seems to like being around with me and cares about what i have to say. yay for rob!
the Missions ended up beating the team Nolan Ryan owns.. oh yeah. it was pretty close there for awhile but we pulled it off. on the way home there was all this traffic and i HATE traffic. i wanted to get home fast so i could talk to lisa but i was in traffic for almost an hour at 10 pm. i was getting pretty annoyed as most of my friends know but then chris rice's "smile" came on b/c i was listening to a mix cd i made and i was suddenly all better. this song always makes me happy no matter how mad/sad i am and it was like God knew i needed it. i finally get home and when it gets dark enough i can see the stars out the windows. they were beautiful. i got home and star gazed for a few minutes.. sigh. it's been awhile since i have done that so it was real nice =)
some other things that were nice today was getting a card in the mail from lisa and a call from kevin. the card had little penguin stickers all over it.. they look just like petey.. soo cute! i called her right away to thank her and i got to talk to her. always nice to hear her voice. as for kevin, it is the one i went to elementary school with not the other kevin i have talked about. he goes to school about 3 hours away and hardly ever calls me so i was shocked that he called. some background info: he was always a troublemaker and i was the only one who could stand him so the teachers always asked me to sit with him and take him to the office. i really liked kevin when no one else did. then he went to a military school and completely changed for the better. my mom loves him and wants me to marry him. no joke. so this past march he randomly calls my house here at home wanting to know when my spring break is. so then we talked some and even got together. i gave him my cell and i had his. so tonight he just randomly calls and of course i'm excited. he didn't have anything special to talk about which was weird, but it was nice. i told him to come into town so we can hang out or he could come to a baseball game. he seemed up for it and i told him when i leave for school so that's good. so then christina is asking me all these questions so i tell her about him and right away she says "i like him for you. i really do" and i'm like shocked b/c jenny thinks the same thing even though she hasn't met him. so i tell my mom and jenny that he called and they get so excited. they went on and on about how great it is and it is, but it just doesn't feel right. jenny even said she has been rooting for him all along and feels that we are right for each other and stuff. *shrugs* but i mean, all this talk about this kevin being my future husband is fun and all, but it actually makes me tense up. he is a GREAT guy and i could see myself marrying him, but at the same time it feels wrong. and i know my reason for that is misguided and in itself wrong but i can't help but think... oh nevermind.
i'm looking forward to tomorrows game b/c my mom, dad, bro, jenny and her bf matt are coming. it's dollar night so that's always exciting. dylan will be dressed as junior jalapeno and i love it when he's in his little costume. hopefully i can do something with jen and matt afterwards, but i'll be happy with hanging with them at the game. also, ozzie smith is going to be at the game tomorrow signing autographs for everyone. i didn't know he was such a big name so that'll be exciting. hopefully that means i won't be too busy. and i also learned that mike piazza was once a mission baseball player. not a fan of mike but that's pretty cool. well i think that pretty much covers my day. leave it to me to give all the details. my bhc girls know how i am with them.. all the stories i have told.. lol. how embarrassing. oh well.. good night and sweet dreams.. of me! ;)
