first win of the season!

opening day and the second game of the season for the cardinals were a bit rough.  opening day we should have won, but errors...  ugh.
saturday was just ugly except craig came through (remember i'm watching him) and pujols hit his first homer.
today i got together with some friends to watch the game and it made me love it even more.


first i started watching the game on my computer because it was a free day or something.  then as i walked to my friend's place i used my new app to listen to the radio.  
i have to tell you about this app.  it was definitely a splurge for me.  well... paying anything for an app is a splurge for me.  this was actually the first app i've ever paid for and i LOVE it.  i can listen to games all season on my phone as well as getting updates, videos, news articles, etc.  and they're doing a promotion for the month of april to even watch the games for free.  yes please!
yadi brought in the first run of the game during my walk.  i wanted to jump up and down, but considering i was walking on the street, i just smiled and quietly said, "yeah, yadi!"  
i was able to watch the game on a tv at my friend's.  talk about special.  
then the game moved super quickly and it was over before we knew it.  garcia even pitched the whole game!  yea garcia!


we went to froyo after, which reminded me of going to ted drew's after a cards game in st. louis.  i couldn't get anything, but it was fun to pull out the wonderfulness of the first cardinals win!

Fall Photos

After admiring the leaves on our runs and my bike to work, we recruited my parents to take some photos of us there this weekend.   After these photos (and tackling some IT issues for my parents) we went to a birthday gathering at the jazz festival on Cherokee Street.  I liked it more than I thought I would. As the night wore on, I started chatting with one of the friend of a friend's there.  I started going in to what a crazy year and some change it's been and, whew, it really started to overwhelm me.   This morning, Mike woke up overwhelmed by our world/specifically our country.  I woke up with that conversation still in my head and also felt overwhelmed.  We treated ourselves to Sump Coffee and had a chat.  It's not always we sit down and talk about what we want and steps to get there. Fall feels like the perfect time to reset.  As we went through the day I also thought, it's okay to miss things in the past, but it woul...

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

Concerts = ♡

Last week was an exceptional concert week for me.  I was lucky enough to catch San Fermin, The Mowgli's, & American Authors.  In one week! My sister, Karen, and I found out San Fermin would be in Chicago at LouFest when we went through the artist signing line.  (Correction: Karen participated in the artist signing line, while I hid behind her shoulder and Ellis, the composer/writer, reached out to me to introduce himself.  This band is full of quality people.  Just sayin'.  I get awkward around bands.)   So we followed through.  Found their show at the Metro (which could not be more convenient for us) and met up with Rubina, my friend, to enjoy their show.  So good.  We were not disappointed.  I was only minutely disappointed because for some reason I assumed they were headlining so when they didn't come out for an encore I was confused.  But then I realized they were the middle act and it made sense. ...
