RED SOX WIN WORLD SERIES!!

I'm so glad the Red Sox won the World Series, but I'm sill a bit bummed it happened in Colorado. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it would have made for a more exciting series if they had lost last night and won tonight in Boston.

I leave for my new job in about 10 minutes. I didn't sleep at all last night, which is NOT GOOD. I'll have to go to bed at 9 tonight to make up for it.

Red Sox Up 3-0!

The Sox won game three last night. WOOT! One more game to go.

On one hand, I hope they win tonight in Colorado, so it's all over and they have WON! But on the other hand, I'd like for them to lose so they can bring the Series win back to Boston. That would be awesome.

In other news, I made the most delicious eggplant parmesan yesterday. For photos of the amazingly mouth-watering dish, CLICK HERE!

Tomorrow I start a new job. YES! NEW JOB! It's downtown and pays more than I was making last week. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Wish me luck!

RED SOX RULE!

As I type this, it's game 7 and the Sox are creaming the Indians 11-2 in the 8th. I'm going to go to bed because I've got faith that my Sox won't give up 9 runs in the 9th.

RED SOX WILL BE IN THE WORLD SERIES!!

Now they just have to beat the shit out of Colorado.

GO RED SOX!

Week/ Weekend Roundup

This weekend has been pretty crappy. Crappy in the respect that I can hardly breathe. The pills I'm on for my High Blood Pressure have an awful side effect that makes you cough all the time. A deep, barking, painful cough. So when I cough a lot, I end up wheezing and not being able to breathe. I woke up at 4am today coughing like crazy. I even hacked up some blood. It was painful and I thought about going to the ER. But I did some relaxation exercises and tried to focus on my breath for about 2 hours. I don't feel 100% better, but at least I can walk from the kitchen to the living room without keeling over. The problem is that I reach for my rescue inhaler every hour. I'm only supposed to take it every 4 hours at the most. So I've had to deal with watching the clock until I can take another puff. Not fun.

On Thursday, Phillip's Aunt and Uncle picked us up and took us to Tryg's for dinner. It was awesome. I had the scallop salad, loaded baked potato, part of Carol's Walleye, and cheesecake. It was delicious. It's also the first time I haven't been able to finish dessert! Also, I haven't had a baked potato that good in YEARS. The decor of the restaurant is gorgeous as well. It's all in deep reds and browns and purple colors. They had a fire going in the huge fireplace as you walk into the restaurant, which made it feel pretty cozy. The hostesses and wait staff were super friendly and accommodating. And one of the chefs came to our table, introduced himself, and asked how our meals were. I thought that was pretty awesome. I hope to go back there sometime if our budget allows it. It's great food and great atmosphere. It would make a great first date place because it's kind of romantical. heh.

On Friday I got the call that I've been waiting for for about a month now. I finally got a job. It's not a permanent job, which kind of sucks, but it has the potential to turn into something perm. It's downtown, which means that my 1 hour commute to Golden Valley will end in three days (hallelujah!). I'll be making slightly more than I am right now and I'll be working in a place that has the potential to make me VERY happy. It's great timing, too, since my temp job ends this Friday. I hope this one works out. I need job stability, for sure.


THE RED SOX WON! They won on Saturday which means that they MUST WIN TONIGHT! I'll be watching the game intently to make sure the Sox win and head to the World Series. Seriously, I'm so overjoyed about this I can't hardly stand it. HA!

And just for laughs...

Ok, quite possibly the BEST parody I've seen in a very long time. If you aren't familiar with Kelly or the Shoes video, google it before you watch this one.



Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed those few hours of sun we had. I hope it comes out again this week. I like the rain, but man, I'm sick of it.

LET'S GO RED SOX!

C'mon, Sox! Don't let me down. Everyone else in my life has disappointed me lately and you can't follow suit! Beat the Indians, dammit, and stay with it! I'm bankin' on you to get to the World Series.

DO IT!

You're leading by 1 2 runs right now. Keep it that way or score some insurance. All you've got to do is win this game!!

DO IT RED SOX!

I've got faith in you.

The Pizza Play-by-Play at Fenway

A friend and fellow Red Sox fan alerted me to this hysterical video this evening. It had me laughing so hard I could hardly breathe. And my cheeks and sides hurt.

Of course, if you're not a Sox fan, have never been to a game at Fenway, have never experienced Red Sox Fans up close, and/or have never heard of the Rem Dog and Don Orsillo (the announcers), you might not find this to be as hysterical as I do.



Seriously, the commentary is hysterical! You have to watch it all the way through, if only for the slo-mo replay.
