world series: game 1


"cardinal fans can't believe what they saw the last 7 weeks.  no one in st. louis thought we would be here, at the world series."
could you imagine going to a world series game?  

after a day full of very windy, wet bike rides, lots of pumpkin gutting and helping carve some very creative pumpkins (for Adler After Dark) i was ready for game 1!

watching the little commercials, building the excitement was awesome.  my favorite had "meet me in st. louie" playing with classic pictures and clips of st. louis. 
watching the lineup announcements was awesome.
it was so exciting sitting on the couch with a friend.
i can't image what it must be like to be there!
cards tickets are $280.  i looked.  i entered a contest for free ones.  
i guess i'll just have to enjoy the games with my chicago crew.  i'm excited either way.  but could you imagine being there??!!?!  that would be amazing!

WE WIN GAME 1!!!  The sports casters said we wouldn't have a chance if we didn't.  well.  we did!

my man craig came through.  i knew it.  i just knew it. 
flashback to 2006 when my man so came through.
know who my other man is?  garcia.  he starts tonight.


both fox casters predicted the rangers will win the series (1 said in 6, the other said in 7).  but karen said regis & kelly are pulling for the cards so i guess that's good.

compilation of quotes around the web from karen:
"They've got a little magic with them," Morrison said. "They're just hot. They're not making many mistakes. [Albert] Pujols is getting hot, and that's all you need to win games. They're fun to watch right now."
"People counted out the Cards against the Phillies, they won that in five," Amsinger said. "They thought the Brewers were going to beat the Cards and they won that series. I'm done counting the Cardinals out. I really believe this is going to be a great World Series and I expect a seven-game series."

"Living here [in St. Louis], I did not see this coming, not even in the third week of September. And Texas gets another crack at it and they're red hot," Buck said. "It's going to be fun. I can't wait for it to start."


I'm wearing red tights and a red headband.
I update my co-workers on the game last night each morning afterwards.
I informed my co-workers they're going to see a lot of red for the next week.
GO CARDS!

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 ;)
