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!

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one: the chicago history museum . it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway. that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around. I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name). the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago. it was fun to see what it was really like. and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa. But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas? Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season. i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday. it was all over the mall. it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did! It was a super fun weekend! And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City. He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees." He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills." I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES! We won't see that til...april? may? obsessed i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today! I want a nap ;)
