The personal blog of a girl named Alexa
Baseball is still a great family sporting event. I would love to take my future kids to a baseball game.
this little girl has a great daddy. Look at his totally involvement in her happiness and achievements – no concerns about the loss of the souvenir ball. It was all about his daughter!
There has been a lot of buzz about hackers targeting Word Press. This has forced the organization to issue a lot of updates and change the way they handle upgrades. I would like to upgrade my version on my own, but I have to rely on my system administrator to do it for me – when he has time. I wish there was an easier and faster way to do it. And more than that, I wish there were ways to catch the hackers and throw them all in jail so we don’t have to worry about this anymore.
All around town the Twilight DVD is running between $22 and $29, even though it was in theaters over 10 months ago. I kept thinking the price would come down to the $12 – $15 range at Wal Mart for most dvds, but I guess it was such a blockbuster hit that no one feels inclined to reduce the price if they can milk it a little longer at the higher price. I even checked Amazon for a better price, but no go.
One advantage to the Amazon web site is that they do list used dvds and used cds through resellers. I found a new Twilight dvd for $12 and the movie score on cd for under $20 together, including shipping. So all I had to do was wait 3 days for it arrive in the mail instead of driving to the local store and having the privilege of taking it home in hand.
If you don’t know who Channing Tatum is – you are missing out on the ultimate hunk of a guy. He used to be a model and then got into movies. He’s one of the stars of the new G. I. Joe movie and I can’t stop thinking about him.
Have you tried the new Fruitista frozen drinks at Taco Bell? I love these drinks! They are a little expensive – $1.99 for a small cup. But they come in four flavors and are wonderful on a hot day!
My brother fussed at me about not having a Technorati account and claiming my blog. To be honest, I don’t know why this is important, but since he is so insistent and usually knows what he is talking about, I’m going to give it a try.
I went to the Technorati site and the instructions say to put this code in a post, so that’s why this is here. Hope it works!

I’ve been turning to Moountain Dew an awful lot lately. I don’t really like sodas, especially any of the dark sodas like Coke and Pepsi. I guess I just lost my taste for them. But Mountain Dew seems to kill the thirst and it’s been so hot this week (every day in the 90’s and up!) that I have felt dehydrated every day. A girl can only drink so much water. So I’ve tried all the different flavors of Mountain Dew. I think I like the Voltage flavor best.
Tonight was the final concert of the CMA Music fest. The past 4 days and nights have been filled with country music stars and shows all over town. The big concerts have been held at the football stadium, but there have been a ton of smaller venues hosting fan club parties and invitation only concerts. There was even a book signing at the Country Music Hall of Fame that I will have to tell you about later.
For some strange reason, watching Wynona and her mother sing together last night gave me goosebumps. Their last song was “Love Can Build a Bridge” and the whole crowd knew every word and sang along with them. It was very emotional for me and inspiring.
I am hot and sweaty and my feet and legs are kiling me from all the walking and standing in lines this weekend. I’m heading to the shower and to bed.
Hanging with some friends today, we decided to watch the Belmont horse race. This is the third race in the Triple Crown series of races. The winner of the Kentucky Derby is going to race in today’s race. That horse, Mine That Bird, did not win the second race in the series, so there will not be a Triple Crown winner this year. But it would be nice to see that horse win two out of the three.
There are some other hot contenders for today’s race. I personally like “Luv Gov,” named after former NY Governer Spitzer. If you remember that scandal, Gov. Spitzer had to resign because of his numerous affairs with prostitutes. Funny to see that they named a horse after him and that the horse is running in the Belmont Stakes in Saratoga, NY.
This weekend means happy days at the beach or cabin with an extra day off. But to a lot of people this is a sad weekend, as they miss someone they loved who may have given their lives in service to our country. So I try to be sensitive to that fact and let people know that I appreciate what the men and women in our armed forces are doing and have done for us.
