We won!

Allow me to set the scene.

The client I work for has a conference in Chicago this week so this means longer hours and lots of socializing.  Which is cool, except when it's postseason Cardinals baseball.

4:00 game time.  I fired up my MLB app and it didn't close until the game was over.  This meant leaving it going during a StrengthsFinders presentation, walking to a Halloween store with a co-worker for something they needed for a surprise, & cocktail hour socializing all with my phone in my hand, glancing at my app.

When Adams hit his 3 run homer to put us up 3-2 I gasped (in the middle of someone's story about a coat).  Then I had to explain myself and it was embarrassing.  

Then I stepped to the side.  (Justine, my co-worker, was next to me.)
Me: I have to see what happened.
Holliday singles.  Peralta singles.  Adams homer!
Justine: Oh, Lisa.  Come on.

And she pulled me back into the crowd.

We won! We won!  We advance on to the NLCS (National League Championship Series)! 
 I'm taking my Cardinals hat & sweatshirt to Savannah this weekend.

P.S. FYI:  How the Cardinals became baseball’s best franchise 
I know, I know, we're the most hated team in the playoffs because as our bartender Friday night said, "There's no real reason to hate them so it makes everyone hate them more."  
Whatevs.

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 alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
