Baseball Opening Day

It's my favorite day of the year!
That's only a slight exaggeration.

I've been awaiting this day for 5 months. It never comes soon enough.

IT'S OPENING DAY!

I got my app a couple weeks ago. This is my third year using this app and I love it. I love being able to listen to every game from my phone and getting all the stats and articles in one place. This year it is $19.99 (the price went up this year). The only app I've ever paid for is this one every year. But sometimes you can just tell it's worth it.

You bet I'll be listening tonight!!!!

Many, many developments occurred during spring training this year that I enjoyed following. Here are a few of my favorites (yes, there were many ups and downs, as per usual for spring training... and the entire season):

*Allen Craig was signed for 5 year contract. I was just excited because I like the guy. Dad helped me realize it's a pretty big deal for such a young player get signed for this kind-of contract.
Hey, Wainwright got one too!

*Garcia did pretty well!

*The battle for second was a battle!
*I'm excited for another year with Matheny.
*typical injuries. Freese will start the season on the DL.
*solidifying pitching rotation

yes, i've probs shared this before.
dad gave it to me years ago and it's always hung wherever i've lived since.
i want it framed.

Let's get this season started! 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 ;)
