So when I logged on to this here corner of the internet, I was for a moment a little afraid that WordPress would fire back a quick ”REJECTED!”-esque response. To my surprise, I apparently do not rank amongst the list of official M.I.A. bloggers afterall. Wonders never cease.
Anyhoo, I have no legitimate excuse except that life has handed me a few dips and turns as of late. Winter term was a bitch, to put it mildly, and spring term quite frankly was even worse. As it turns out, planning for a summer break was a smart move on my part; unfortunately an act of necessity rather than frivolity though. No, I did not fail or get kicked out! << Shut it Bill >> But for the last 7 weeks I’ve been dealing with a health situation that’s had to take priority. I go in for surgery again tomorrow for the 3rd time, and most definitely the last. So, a big thanks to those that have prayed and continue to do so. They’re much appreciated and coveted. XOXO
I’m gonna be back in Athens by early July, come hell or high water dammit. Classes don’t start for me until after Labor Day, so I’m determined to have some fun this summer and get ready for Georgia football in the Fall. I’m officially a grown-up season ticket holder this year and I’m not missing a single home game. Go Dawgs!!
Speaking of which… everyone who knows me knows that I love baseball (Go Braves! But you suck Glavine & Hampton) and have always loved the Diamond Dawgs. I actually got to go to a game Saturday (big mistake in retrospect, but it was worth it!) I got to meet Brian Jordan, who was so gracious & funny btw, and will have that pic posted soon. It’s on Rob’s phone at the moment so maybe I’ll get it by Christmas. Hint Hint.
Anyways, I’m determined to watch the Diamond Dawgs play Da U on Saturday night, regardless of being hopped up on pain meds. And I’ll be on my knees for the duration praying for a win. I’m so tired of seeing us go straight to the loser’s bracket. I’m pretty sure either Holder or Dodson will start Saturday night leaving Montgomery for game 2. For the love of Pete, please let the pitching be solid! That’s our only hope of getting to game 3, imo. Montgomery is a sure thing, but Holder, Dream Weaver, Dodson, and even Moreau have not looked on their A game more times that I can recall lately. And Josh Fields’s last 2 outings were shaky at best. Good God, he looked downright embarrassing at times Sunday. Not good.
No worries about the lineup though. Guys like Massanari, Allen, Peisel, Olson, Cerione (what a cutie pie!), and Poythress have been hot and are conistent enough to even get our pitching staff out of jams. Oh, and then there’s this guy too, Mr. All-American ….
What is it with guys and Guitar Hero? Whatever, the kid is a freak with a bat and I’m just glad he’s still a Dawg gunning for the trophy in Omaha.
And, I hate to end things on a sad note, but I just got an email saying former Georgia QB John Rauch passed away yesterday. He was way before our time, but you can’t be a true Dawg without a little knowledge of Mr. Rauch. He did what Herschel did and what Stafford, Knowshon & Co. are dreaming of doing this season: Won the National Championship. I’m proud to say I was in Sanford when he was inducted into UGA’s Circle of Honor a few years back. It was one of the few times I ever had to hand my Dad a tissue. He was the epitome of a Damn Good Dawg and his accomplishments on the field & in coaching are legendary. Rest in peace Mr. Rauch.
So I guess that’s all for now y’all. Thank you again for all of the well wishes, cards, flowers, phone calls, food, and espcially the love!
Go Dawgs!
