Okay people, I am basically just sick of seeing Old Lee Hamilton on the blog so I've decided to post. But with virtually nothing going on in my life (other than babysitting last night) I am a little hard pressed to come up with something new. But Ah HA! I almost forgot! Something sort-of interesting-ish happened last night!
As I stated, I was babysitting yesterday for my friends so they could go to "Mormon Night" at Dodger's stadium. The Mormons buy a bunch of seats at the Dodgers game and typically a "famous" Mormon either throws out the first pitch, sings the national anthem or some such thing. Last year, Larry King was the famous "Mormon." Larry King is married to a Mormon, but isn't Mormon himself. We take what we can get. Richard and I have never gone, but he really wants to. I hate baseball games. I think they are boring. Although I do love stadium food.
Anyway, getting to the point of the story. After my friends daughter went to sleep (10:00 p.m. people...I was so tired!) I flipped through channels and came across Victoria Beckham's reality television show, I believe called "Coming to America." In the particular episode, Posh Spice was practicing her driving, and then went to the DMV to get a US license. The DMV she went to was MY DMV!!! I recognized it immediately because there is a lady there who has a desk COVERED in Leopard print-everything is Leopard print, from her chair to her trash can...her pencil holder and filing cabinet...ALL LEOPARD PRINT! Naturally, I realized that there was no way that this was any other DMV in LA...but the DMV near where Richard and I used to live and where we got our drivers licenses. Another great brush with celebrity here in Los Angeles. We live a very glamorous life here.

That is totally amazing!! If only you get a beckham sighting... and I find baseball games to be very fun and relaxing. I wouldn't mind having season tickets someday.

I love going to baseball games. When you're in town, Karl--or anyone else in the family--I'll take you to see the Dodgers. Those who aren't interested in the Dodgers can go to the DMV with Betsey.
betsey - its not about the game - once your there - there is so much other stuff going on that you really don't pay attation to thee game anyway. (at least i don't anyway.)
hey werent you susposed to have an ultrasound a bit a go.???
Yep Stacey! I had my ultrasound about a week ago and am having a girl! We are very excited...I think Richard really wanted a boy, but we are both thrilled! I should make a post about it, but I didn't get any really great pictures of the baby...I'll try to scan what I got and see how they come out
When we used to live in Wisconsin, your dad and I would go up to Brewers games in Milwaukee with the Brinkerhoff's, the Bohman's and later on, after Bohman's moved, with the Johnson's. It was always so much fun, and like Stacey said, there is always so much other stuff going on. Baseball games are so much more fun to watch in person, than on television. And we haven't even talked about baseball food. The hot dogs there are better than any hot dog you've ever eaten, and the popcorn is wonderful!
I remember the fireworks at the end. I remember the little guy that slid down the chute into the huge beer stein (It was Milwaukee!) every time the Brewers scored a home run. I remember cheering with my friends, and watching all the information on the huge scoreboard.
I think you would really enjoy it Betsey. I know we always had a good time; mostly because we enjoyed being with our friends, but also because it was just fun to experience it. I hope you'll be able to attend with Richard, after he gets back next week.
Maybe next year during spring break, if they've started playing yet, we could go to a game. I'll help watch over Camille Iris.
Love you, Claudia
