Sometimes You Just Need A Cookie

Third post in three days!

Hey everyone! Yes this is my third post in three days and yes that is a record for me. But it's also an incentive and an example to others. Hopefully this motivates people to blog about anything (Ashley) or what is going on in their everyday lives (Jena).

Speaking of which. Ashley and Jena are amazing. They updated, and therefore i will say something special about them both as a reward and a thank you.

Ashley - Don't really know what else there is to say. You are the greatest girlfriend ever! (sorry to all other girls, Ash just wins, really I'm sorry you had to find out this way...) You don't just bring the party, you ARE the party. Whether it's a night on the town, a party in Baypoint, or just a simple hour of 'Friends', you are a big reason everyone has so much fun. Keep on truckin' babe!

Jena - Oh the days of MASH. My dad was watching the M*A*S*H* movie the other day and it made me realize how great that show is....cuz the movie is terrible. Absolutely awful. If you have a chance to see it....DON'T! But anyways, what i am trying to say, is that it made me realize how special it was to intrude on you and steve's MASH dates. Whether it was me "going to class" or me just flat out skipping it, you made the afternoons amazingly fun. You have a great sense of humor and you take a lot of crap from me, but the best part is....you give it right back! Oh man, when you bought the Clemens shirt...FRIGGIN AWESOME! Amyways, don't ever change who you are! Cuz you're awesome and i love you just the way you are! I'm excited for our random double dates that will be had next year!

Anyways that little blerb to them was an incentive to all of you. They made me happy by updating, and if you want kind words from Greg, update by Monday morning at 6:30am and i will say kind words about you too!

Well today is friday, and that means only one thing.....SPORTS MEMORABILIA!! I got paid today and i saved enough money over the last two weeks (my compromise to myself, if i save enough money for it from my last paycheck, i can buy whatever memorabilia i saved for when i get my next paycheck.) Well i saved money and by shopping around, and stumbling onto Bob Feller's museum site, i found some great deals. I was gonna pay 70 bucks for a bob feller autograph, but now im buying it direct from him with another Hall of Famers autograph too! Here is what i bought from Bob Feller's site:

1. Bob Feller (HOF62) signed Official Major League Baseball

2. Bill Mazeroski signed 8 x 10 photo

3. Yogi Berra signed Official Major League Baseball (from www.yogiberra.com)

So there is three amazing autographs to add to my collection, and cheaper then i thought i would have had to spend! So that rocks...now i just need a room to display these things....:(

Anyways here is my updated list of memorabilia i am attempting to get/already got!

1. Stan Musial - bought autograph online
2. Jim Rice - Bought an authentic autogrpahed card on eBay.
3. Harmon Killebrew - Attempting to get his autograph on eBay/Wrote him a letter asking for prcie list for a baseball
4. Bob Gibson - Bought his autograph on a certified card from eBay
5. Rod Carew - Bought a game used jersey/Autographed card on eBay
6. Yogi Berra - Will buy autograph from his personal site
7. Al Kaline - Wrote a letter to get an autogrpahed card and got it back in 7 days!
8. Jim Lonborg - Thinking of going to his dentist office in Hanover
9. Wade Boggs - Bought a Dual Autographed card on eBay featuring him and Bobby Doerr
10. Lou Brock - Bought a Game Used Bat/Autograph card on eBay.
11. Ernie Banks - Attempting to buy on eBay
12. Gaylord Perry - Attempting to buy on eBay
13. Rollie Fingers - Will buy from Bob Feller's Site when Duke Snider's autograph becomes available.
14. Carlton Fisk - Bought his autograph on a certified card from eBay
15. Whitey Ford - Thinking of buying from his personal site
16. Bill Mazeroski - Bought 8x10 from Bob Feller's museum
17. Dom DiMaggio - Sent a letter with a card asking for his price list for an autographed baseball.
18. Reggie Jackson - Attempting to get his autograph on eBay/Online
19. Duke Snider - Will either buy from www.reggiejackson.com or wait for his autograph to become available on Feller's site.
20. Nolan Ryan - Thinking of buying from his personal site
21. Johnny Bench - Thinking of buying from his personal site

No Longer thinking of purchasing:

1. Pete Rose - His site deals through a third party and it doesn't seem reliable.
2. Carl Yastrzemski - His site deals through a third party and doesn't seem reliable.
3. Hank Aaron - Signs exclusivelt with Stiener Sports (the most respectable authenticity site around) and it's a little too epensive (200.00)
4. Bobby Orr - His site deals through a third party and it doesn't seem reliable.
5. Sandy Koufax - Just about impossible to find a real one that isnt crazy expensive.
6. Willie Mays - Charges through his charity

So there you have it. My list is slightly growning, but also shrinking as i am not giving in to the temptation to overpay, even it it is for....Bobby Orr....Hank Aaron.....Mays......Rose......YAZ!......Oh good i want them! Heh

Anyways....

Keep On Rocking In The Free World!!
