WHAT! A! NIGHT!

Seriously!


Game 6 of the World Series Cards win with a walk off in the 11th!


My throat hurts and I think I may be a little sore tomorrow from all the screaming tonight.  


The cardinals definitely took us on a ride and it was stressful and honestly pretty weird for a few innings.
And then we turned it on!
So many different players contributed and it was so so so exciting!


Freese (he grew up in St. Louis) hit the walk-off after coming through to extend the game in the 9th as well.  His quote after:  "I'm just glad I had the opportunity after I blew that pop-up."  It's ok Freese.  You're forgiven!  


One of my favorite parts.  Before the game the way the newscasters were talking they thought the Rangers would win no problem.  I was pretty annoyed.  Then I really enjoyed after the game listening to them again.  Ha!  Take that!  The Cardinals have been proving everyone wrong for 2 months.  I don't think it's very smart to count us out.


"The Cards won in the 11th inning in the 11th hour. Playing tonight for their 11th playoff victory which will give them their 11th World Series championship. All done in 2011."


Game 7 tomorrow....


My scorecard.  I'm glad it ended in the 11th because I only have spaces for 11 innings.
Tomorrow will be interesting considering both managers (especially tony) used most of their benches and bullpens.  


"Arguably one of the greatest games in World Series history."

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 ;)
