I miss you Smokey.

Before you read any further, you should know that this isn't my usual fun and entertaining post.


I came home from SLC yesterday. It was bad enough leaving Ryan, but I just knew it would be okay because I got to see my kitties when I got home. It was THE worst home coming ever. On the way home from the airport my mom told me that one of my kitty's (Smokey) was killed on Friday. He was hit by a car. If you don't know much about me, then you probably won't understand what I'm going through. My kitties are my babies. They are literally my children. Ryan and I got Missy and Smokey a couple weeks after we got married. We looked in the paper and found a couple of ads and went baby hunting. We found Missy and Smokey in Edmond. They were "brothers"...so we thought. They were originally Wookie and Smokey.... but....Wookie ended up being Missy. Ryan said he knew she was a SHE because she was smaller and bitchier and whinnier. Haha. We always joked and said that they traded down, because we got them from a gated community filled with million dollar homes, and they moved into the hood of M-Dub...into our three bedroom mansion. They were best friends. They played, fought, slept, and ate together. I just don't know how to move on from this. I am absolutely heart broken. I can't help but think that this is my fault. I NEVER should have left them for the summer. My parents came over every day and fed and played with them, but I just can't stop blaming myself. Ryan keeps telling me that it's not my fault and that these things just happen, but it's just not really helping. I know that animals die every day, but he was my baby. He was only 3 years old and was the most loving animal I have ever had. Missy isn't doing very good. She has been puking up all her food and she has diarrhea. I can tell she misses him and is depressed. She just clings to me. It is truly heart breaking.


RIP Smokey. I miss you so much.


Best Friends.

Missy without her Smokey. She is trying to get used to the new additions to our family.

This is Tigger. He is 4 years old and is a very sweet boy.

This is Martini. She is 10 months old and is fun and energetic like her mommy.

I rescued 2 kitties from the humane society today. I didn't want to feel like I was replacing Smokey, but it really doesn't feel like that at all. I still miss him terribly, but I feel really great that I saved 2 other lives.

So....I'm on a mission. I want every one that is thinking about getting a dog or cat to go to your local humane society and save an animal. You have NO idea how many animals need homes. One of the workers said that they had 500 animals today and they usually have around 700, so today was a slow day. Isn't that crazy??? I know we all want the $1000 doggies that piss gold or something, but these animals are just as sweet and NEED your help. So PLEASE spread the word and lets save some sweet animals.

I hope to have some more uplifting posts soon, but I am just trying to cope with my loss right now. I hope you all think about all the animals that could use a good home.

I'll remember you always Smokey.

That's not my name.

Hello world. I just thought I would update you on what's been going on since my last post. I have joined a rock group. We are just performing at small venues right now, but hopefully soon we will join a tour opening for a famous artist. I was thinking that starting small with Justin Timberlake or maybe even Britney, but I don't want to intimidate her with our skills. Actually maybe she should open for us. I'm just saying. Here is the cover for our new CD. We are called The Sting Stings. We are taking the world by storm....one....city....at....a....time. I have also attached a photo of our production team. We couldn't do it without them.

I would like to give you all a gift. Here is the world premiere of our first video. Consider yourselves very special. I'll try to remember the little people once we have blown up...and we will....so so so very soon. See ya later bottom feeders. We aren't cocky or anything....but we PISS excellence.

Peace....we're out!!!!!

To work, or not to work??? That is the question.

I took Ryan to the airport this morning. The team is on the road for four days. Boooooooo Hooooooooo. I'm sad. When he gets back I only have 5 days left with him before I head back home. I have been seriously debating whether I should quit my job or not. I am young and have my entire life to work. I know that this "baseball life" won't last forever and I just feel like I'm missing out on so much with Ryan. I LOVE working and once I am home I am usually okay, but leaving is really hard. I see that all the other girls get to stay and it makes it even harder. But I also don't have to work when I'm here and most of the other girls go to work everyday, or most days. So who knows what I will decide. I know I don't want to put my school in a bind and I think quitting how would be hard on everyone. I'm thinking one more year and then I'm done.

Well that was waaaaaay too serious. So on a lighter note...I'm thinking about hitting up the gym in a few. Good times.....yeah. I think me and a couple of the girls might go see a movie tonight. I REALLY want to see The Hangover or The Proposal. I can't wait. Exciting....I know!!! Well I'll update ya later.

Peace fools.

I'm a pro golfer.

Hellooooooooooooo my friends. Me, Ryan, and one of our roomies went golfing today. Let me just start by telling you about how the golf outing began. First of all, I put on my shorts and found $20 in my pocket. I mean I get excited when I find $1 in my pocket, but a 20 was the bomb dot com. Then I found $50 in gift certificates in the back seat of our other roomies car. I mean finders keepers...right??? That's what I thought too. So I'm thinking that this is my lucky day. Then, Me, Ryan, and our roomie went to Target to get some balls and tees. Ryan bought me a box a colorful golf balls and the lady that was checking him out told him he had some "sexy balls"...and I quote. Haha. I thought it was quite clever. Maybe because it is something I would have said. Well...anywho....once we got to the golf course I went into the clubhouse to go get a hat, and while trying it on I broke the clip on the back of it that makes the hat bigger or smaller. I just put the hat back on the rack of course. No biggy. That's how I roll. Then I went to go get range balls and put the token in the slot before I put a bucket under the opening where the balls come out, so the balls went everywhere. Yes, that's right...EVERYWHERE. By the way, I played golf in high school, so I really have no idea what my problem was today. Then, we were off to the 1st hole and I went to open my "beverage" and the tab broke off of the can without opening the beverage. Seriously...Seriously. I ended up golfing a 106. Not too shabby for not EVER getting to play. I decided that I am going to start playing a lot more often. I need to get back under 100 if I'm going to join the tour. I mean, I only have to improve my score by about 30 strokes to qualify. I totally think I can do it if I just play one or two more times. What do you think??? Yeah???? Me too. Glad you have faith in me.

Now we are going to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory. We have some gift certificates. No, not the ones that I found in the back seat. Those were from some steak house. The boys got these from the baseball field. We will save the ones from the steak house for a later date. I'm all about some free stuff. Well, I guess we will head that way. I'm STARVING!!!!!!!!!!

Peace G's.

AAAAAAAL STAAAAAAAAR BREAAAAAAAK

At last, it is the All Star Break. Sooooooooooooooo freakin excited. We are going to the lake tomorrow and spending the night. A ton of the guys and their families are going. Everyone always looks forward to having a couple of days off. We are planning on lake time all day Monday and maybe a bit on Tuesday, then golfing sometime during the break, but most importantly...total relaxation and NO baseball. The guys use this time to regroup and and have some fun. I must admit...I am ready for a couple of days off from the baseball field myself. I just want to spend some quality time with Ryan and some of our friends. We packed up a ton of food and goodies and we are going to get the boat and jet skiis in the morning. Most of use take for granted being able to have a fun day at the lake....or anywhere for that matter. These boys NEVER get to enjoy a day of lake fun since they have to be at the park early in the afternoon EVERY DAY, and don't get done until around 10:00 or 11:00 EVERY NIGHT. They had autograph night 2 nights ago and we didn't leave the park until midnight. It was really fun to see all of the fans get so excited to see the players and talk with them for a few short moments before they moved on the the next player in line. Salt Lake, I must say, has amazing fans. They LOVE the Bees and are very supportive. I have been to a lot of ball parks and feel very lucky that my husband plays at such a great one. Real talk. Haha.

Not much else to update on. I'll be back after the break with some stories. I know you can't wait!!!!!!

Can't think with you over my shoulder.

So I have decided that writing is MUCH easier when Ryan is at the field, or on the road, or where ever. Anywhere but over my shoulder. I feel that I can't be my true, crude, unlady like self that you all know and love. Hehe.

I forgot to mention that Danny Masterson (aka Steven Hyde) was at the game on the 4th. He is friends with one of the players, so he came to take in a game. I personally am a HUGE fan of "That 70's Show". LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! If you haven't ever watched the show, then you must be living under a rock. Just kidding. It really is a great show though, and I would definitely recommend watching it. He is the fro boy with the dry sense of humor. Hilarious. Anyway...I, being the stalker that I am, wanted to take a picture with Danny. Danny...may I call you Danny.? I know you probably read this blog...I mean who doesn't. I'm kinda a big deal. So, I wanted to take a picture with Danny, and so did one of the other wives...so I thought. So WE decided...again, so I thought....that WE would walk over to where Danny was sitting and just ask if WE could get a picture with him. I didn't bring my camera that night, so she said we could just use hers...again, so I thought. I happen to be a GREAT conversationalist, so WE decided I would do the talking...again, so I thought. So I walk down and sit in front of Danny and say, "Hey, I'm a huge fan of yours and me and my friend were just wondering if we could get a picture with you." He says, "Of course." So, I turn to my FRIEND to find.... an empty seat next to me....no friend.....no camera....just....me....the stalker. I'm then say, "Ummmm...yeah....the only problem is that I have no friend and no camera....so....um.....yeah....I guess I'll just sit here.....um yeah...." Then I proceed to make the situation even worse and say, "I swear I'm not a stalker. (Which isn't really true, because I kind of am, but I didn't say that of course.) I swear my friend was following me down here. I'm just....so how bout them Bees?" Yeah...I'm a retard. I then look over there where we WERE sitting, before I was thrown under the bus...by my FRIEND...and she just looks at me and smiles and waves. Yeah, that's right, she was back over by where we had come from with her camera in hand. What an a-hole. Haha!!!!! Just kidding. It was actually better than even getting a picture with him, because now I will always have that story. He did invite us to come out the next night, so I could get my picture with him. (Out of pity I'm quite sure.) But, he even thought it was really funny.

I got sun burned AGAIN today. Good times. We met a drunk pilot at the pool. He was here for the night, so he and one of the flight attendants and their little friend Captain Morgan (wink) were having a good time at the pool. I learned that it really is important to turn of all electronic devices during take off and landing. They can actually hear your conversations sometimes over the airways. Also, they can tell if you are buckled up or not. I know...vital information. He was really nice and had some funny stories. I also learned that you can purchase the cheapest alcohol in the world in Belize. Good to know....good to know. Thought I would pass that one along.

I have officially killed 9 spiders in my bedroom. I'm not sure if I should wash my sheets in Raid or what. I HATE bugs. Hate, hate, hate. They totally creep me out and it is causing me to have night terrors. I wake up in the night and think things are crawling on me. Or I will wake up and have to pee and I don't want to get out of the bed because I think they are on the floor. It is taking over my life and I don't know what to do.

Well, I guess that's all for now.

Please remember when flying to follow all directions given by the flight attendants. It may save your life....or it may just keep the captain from listening to your phone conversation.

I'm baaaaack.......

Hello my homeys. I know you all have been anxiously awaiting my return. I have had a busy couple of days. Lots of pool time involved. The guys got home on Saturday, July 4th. I was super pumped to see Ryan. I missed his pretty little face. Me and a couple of the girls "attempted" to lay out for approximately 12 and a half minutes, but again...the sun and clouds were not having it. So we ended up going to the mall to burn a couple hours before we headed to the airport to pick up the guys. While at the mall, we decided that material possessions are far more important than food or shelter or our husbands. Haha. It just feels so good to see an item on sale (that you CAN NOT live without of course) and slide that debit card and enter your pin and then....ahhhhhhhhh (angels singing)....the item is yours. It's amazing. And NO I do not have a problem. How dare you judge me. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1....okay....I'm okay.

We also found an amazing new place to spend our time while the boys are at the field all day. It's............ohhhhh the suspense..........the public pool...equipped with high dives and water slides. And yes I jumped off the high dive. I got THE biggest wedgie in the world and my top was floating around my forehead, but it was fun. I absolutely love to people watch. I just like to lay on my towel and watch and listen to all the different people walking by. It is quite interesting. We sat in the middle of all the high schoolers the other day and that was quite interesting. I learned that SF means suck face. I learned this by hearing a very mature high schooler's conversation. I was also taken back to a time where cellulite was just a myth.....where stomachs were flat and defined.....where tans were flawless......where.....ohhhhh those were the good ol days.

There are 4 more days until the All Star break. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I'm ready for some rest and relaxation with my man. I think everyone is ready for a break. All the guys will come back from the break ready to tear it up and hopefully make the playoffs. GO BEES!!!!!

Well I'm tired and headin to bed.

Peace....

Another day....

Hey yall. It's the okie in me coming out. I feel like I should follow it with....it's Paula Dean. Well anywho...the boys are coming home tomorrow morning, just in case I hadn't mentioned that in previous posts. Me and a couple of the girls are going to the pool EARLY in the morning...10:00am is early for us...then we are picking up the boys. Can't freakin wait!!!!!!!!!!! It really is crazy how much free time we have when there isn't a 3 or 4 hour baseball game to go to every night. I have been shackin up with a couple of other girls since I have to stay in an empty house alone when the guys are on road trips. We just do the usual...talk really bad about other people, have pillow fights, tell each other how great we are, have huge out of control parties...you know the drill. I'm totally kidding...the parties aren't THAT out of control. We actually just watch movies, go to spin classes that hurt our private parts, and enjoy some girl talk. Nothing too crazy.

So, I'm going to get my hur did on Monday. I'm kind of nervous because one of my best friends back home is my hair stylist and I feel like I'm cheating on her. No really, I am nervous because no one else EVER does my hair. I know everyone always says, "It's just hair, it will grow back", but that is NOT okay with me. I have pretty much always had amazingly luscious locks, and I'll be damned if someone is going to take that from me. Again, kidding. I'm just all about sticking with what I know works, and I know that my friends back home works...I'm not sure about this new person. I'll keep ya updated though...regardless of the outcome. If I change my profile picture to a bald girl, then you know the outcome wasn't good.

On a lighter note. I'm sleeping in one of the guy's rooms while they are away and I'm thinking about doing something to his room before he gets home. I just lay in bed a night and try to think about what I can mess with that won't actually physically harm the poor bastard. I think that I will make his bed upside down so he can't get in his sheets and put toilet paper down in the ends of all of his shoes. There are about 20 pairs still here that he didn't take on the road with him. I'm an ornery little devil. I just feel like I can't leave the room better that I found it. It just wouldn't be right. Though he might not let me sleep in his room anymore when he is gone. Well worth it!!!!!! I'll take my chances. I really wish I could set up a hidden camera so I could see his face when he discovers the annoyingly harmless pranks. I may see some action I wouldn't want to see though. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Okay....moving on.

My friend from OK never made it to SLC. She couldn't get off the standby list. So she headed home today. She made a valiant effort though. She hung out in the Houston airport for 2 full days. Dang it!!!! I did go get my nails filled and a pedicure today. I settled for the same ol same ol. French toes and nails.

Well I guess that's all I have for today.

In the words of the late Michael Jackson, "Heal the world. Make it a better place." That's real talk.

You are NOT getting on this plane...

Hello again. I didn't get a chance to update you guys yesterday so I'll have to catch you up on my exciting life. So, my friend from OK has been trying to get to SLC for two days now, and I just don't think it is going to happen. One of our other friends from OK is a flight attendant so she can give "buddy" passes to fly for free. The only catch is that you have to fly standby. This usually isn't a problem except for the fact that it is 4th of July weekend and apparently EVERYONE is coming to Utah. Lots going on here. She was actually boarding yesterday and got bumped while boarding. RUDE!!!!!!!!!! So for those of you that were waiting to find out what colors we picked for our pedicures, I have to let you down. THERE WERE NO PEDICURES. I'm soooo sorry. Now that hearts are breaking ALL over the world I can move on. I did get a spray tan yesterday and I now look like a dirty, crusty, brown girl. I haven't showered yet. Yummy!!! My favorite part of the spray tanning process is when I get out and blow my nose and it is pure spray tan. BROWN BOOGIES!!!! Haha. I love giving too much information. It's what I do. Anyway...my tan lines are much better now, so that is a good thing.

I attempted to layout yesterday for approximately 25 minutes and here came the clouds and the rain. Ughhhh. I think they were just waiting for me to get out there. This is probably how the conversation went.

Clouds: So, I heard Darcy wanted to lay out.
Sun: Yeah, I think she is coming around 11:00 or so.
Clouds: Well, I will stay out of your way until she heads that way, so it will look really nice when she makes the drive, and then I'll jump in front of you right when she takes her cover up off.
Sun: Well, you did all the work last time she wanted to lay out, so I don't mind moving behind you this time.
Clouds: No really, I don't mind moving. I'm a lot faster, so I think it would be better if I just covered you.
Sun: Okay, if you don't mind.
Clouds: Not at all. I think I may even accumulate some precipitation and let that rip on her as well.
Sun: You are the best friend a sun could ask for.
Clouds: Stop it. Your making me cluster.

I know you didn't think that they talked to each other, but now ya know. Rude, Rude, Rude. That's fine, if they want to keep talking trash then I'll just go buy a couple hundred cans of aerosol hairspray and let it rip on them. Haha. Just kidding.

I went and got myself and a couple of the girls some Yogurt Stop last night. If you don't know what YS is...let me just fill you in. HEAVEN ON EARTH. Different flavors of yogurt and EVERY topping imaginable. After you make your creation you take it to the front and weight it to see how much owe. That's the bad part. The more you add, the more you pay. I must say, I took orders from the girls and the first one was awesome. Cheesecake yogurt topped with...NERDS. Haha. Yes, they even have nerds. I freakin love nerds. I personally get the vanilla yogurt topped with vanilla wafers and strowburrys (English accent). It is amazing.

The boys come home TOMORROW!!! Ooo Oooooooooo!!!!!! Can't wait. I'm going to pick up one of the wives and her boys tonight at the airport. I'm soooo excited that all the girls are coming back. A lot of the girls left since the boys were gone a lot this month. I must say, I will probably talk about the girls (wives, fiances, girlfriends, etc) a lot on this blog since they are such a HUGE part of my life here. I'm not like a sappy person or whatever, but I don't think this "baseball life" would be half as fun without them. I LOVE Ryan and I would come with him regardless. Even if I were the only girl here I would still love it, but the other wives, girlfriends, etc. make it so much better. I mean you can only hang out with BOYS for so many hours out of the day. I need gossip. I need to talk to someone that has experienced PMS. I need someone that I can borrow a tampon from if I forgot one. I need someone that loves pool time as much as me. I need someone that wants to know if Jen and Brad are really hooking back up, or if Tori Spelling really weights 42 lbs. I don't think that Ryan can give me these things. Haha. Moral of the story....you need your girls. So don't get sooooo caught up in yo man that you forget who is there for you when those BOYS act like jack asses. Ladies.....you now I'm right. Thank you reverend Darcy. Amen sista.

Well I guess that is all I have for now.

Catch ya on the flip side.

Helllllooooo to all of my followers...or lack there of. I'm back for day two of blogging. It may be the last one, because I am so busy here in SLC that I just barely have time to sit down for a moment to write. The paparazzi are everywhere all the time and I am constantly signing autographs and attending these big events and...well...you know the drill. Oh wait, you don't. I forgot that you aren't me. Haha!!! Yeah right. Today was a BIG day. I went to the pool to work on my amazing flawless tanned skin and then I tried a spin class. (AKA cycling) My butt and some other parts down unda (Australian accent) are pulsating. I am soooooo sore. I have a VERY meaty back side, so I can not even imagine how painful cycling must be for skinny people. I fear that I will not be able to get out of bed tomorrow due to extreme soreness in my legs and...well...other areas. It really was a great workout and I would recommend the class to anyone...excluding skinny people obviously.

The Bees won tonight!!! Yay!!! My little catcher, Ryan, did very well. We also found out that a couple of the boys on the team made the All Star team. One of them is me and Ryan's roommate. We are so proud. Actually that is kind of a big fat freakin lie. I'm actually sad because that means no lake time for him. Sad face =( The boys come home the morning of the 4th. Only 3 more days. It seems like I haven't seen Ryan in forever. I guess it's good that I feel like it's been too long rather than feeling like it hasn't been long enough. Haha. I really do miss him though. Yeah, yeah, get a room. I know.

I have a friend from Oklahoma (cowboy state, not sooner state) coming to visit tomorrow. GO POKES. I'm sure I will have some fun stories to tell. We are kind of a big deal. I'm just sayin. I think we are going to get our nails filled and get pedicures tomorrow. I know you are on pins needles to find out what colors we pick out. "You want acrit o gewl? You want acrit o gewl, I do fo you? You no boyfrin?" If you have seen Bon Qui Qui on Utube, then you HAVE to see the same girl do the skit where she is going to get her nails done. It is PRICELESS!!!

Until then...

Love, Peace, Hair Grease

The first....

Soooooo...I'm new to this whole blog thing, but I figured I would try to keep my family and friends updated during my stay in SLC. Exciting, I know.

Well, where do I begin? The Bees are on the road for 7 days. They played their last game in Fresno, CA tonight, then they are off to Colorado Springs, CO. Tonight the bees lost, again. The boys are a bit frustrated and are ready for the All Star break. We usually head down to the lake for a couple of days of relaxation. There is no stress, just fun. With the way things are going i don't know if any of our boys will be seeing their names on that All Star roster. I mean, honestly, lets think about this...Lake...another baseball game...lake....baseball. Ohhhhhh man, that's a tough one. Haha. I mean it would be an honor to make the team, but if you aren't going to make the team....you might as well have a fun 3 days off. Am i wrong? Am I wrong? Amen sister!!!!

Today myself and another wife hung out at the pool, got hit by a tornado, and then went to dinner. Whoaaaa nelly....that's right folks...a tornado. Yes, that's also right...I'm in SLC and not OKC. It was pretty crazy. Okay, we didn't actually get hit, but it was looking pretty nasty as we left the pool. Another wife was at work and lost all power and the roof was taken off of the building next door. CRAZINESS!!!! Just when I was feeling a little home sick...Oklahoma came to Utah. That was sooooo thoughtful.

Side note...there is a huge spider crawling on the ceiling right now. Ummm...ummm...I need a shoe...or maybe a sword...it's kind of huge. Got it. I hope PETA isn't reading this.

Well I guess that is all for tonight. I am tired and have a big day tomorrow. I might hit up the Walmart and maybe even the Bed, Bath, & Beyond. Big day...HUGE.

Live, Laugh, Love
