Braves Announce Giveaways

The Braves announced their 2025 promotional schedule, with at least 9 bobbleheads, three figurines, several t-shirts, a ring, and a jersey – yet collectors are still disappointed. Not sure what they were expecting. Nothing really that I’ll be going for, though Will might want a Spencer Strider jersey.

Bobbleheads include a Chipper, Sale, Hello Kitty, Acuna, Iglesias, Ozuna, women’s baseball, HBCU trumpeter, Lopez, Star Wars, baseball bank, two different caps, tote bags, jerseys, 15000 golden rings, and a partridge in a pear tree. Not sure if I’ll compile my monthly lists this year, though I’ve started one. 

The Babylon Bee has been speaking directly to me lately. Kinda convicting. Did I say that?

Always seems like people get sick more in the winter time. Goodness. Take your vitamins!

Not sure when we will go to SC. Ceil has a baby shower this coming weekend. Super Bowl is the weekend after that. Then Valentines the weekend after that. C wants to go to Kimball House sometime. In March we have a wedding one weekend, Ceil’s going out of town another weekend, and also a big birthday party in March that I’m hoping to wrangle an invitation to.

Ceil wants to fix up the house. Master bath needs a redo. We had torn out our deck but still need to replace it. Need a new floor upstairs and in the kitchen, and on the stairs. Sounds like Ceil wants to keep her art studio in the downstairs bedroom, so my office will be in a small upstairs bedroom. Only has one small window. Only enough room for a desk and maybe one bookcase. The bed that’s in there now will have to go. We’ve fixed up a nice guest bedroom. Ceil wants to entertain guests.

Tuesday: left work at 530 again. Ceil cooked black beans, and we had the Mexican leftovers from Monday night. Watched Jeopardy and another episode of High Potential, then a rerun of the Tonight Show.

Got up early this morning and bundled up to go play golf, but there was frost on my car so I didn’t go. Wasn’t dressed for the gym. Should’ve crawled back in bed but instead left for work early. Was going to stop by Kroger but it wasn’t open yet. Stopped by RaceTrac and also Wendys for BOGO biscuits.

Lunch meeting at work today, catered by Willies. The sales theme for 2025 is from a Johnny Cash song: “We Walk the Line”.

Small group tonight, via Zoom.
