KELLI IS COMING TOMORROW!!!!

I can't believe this day is here already!  (well tomorrow)  kelli is finally coming out to visit.  we are going to have so much fun.  we will go here a few times:

we are going to the cubs game on thursday night. and then the saturday afternoon game against the royals. i have been to the I-70 series many times, but never in st louis.  i wonder how many royals fans will show up this year.  then sunday i am working at the game, but kelli will go and watch it, and i can meet up with her towards the end.

and i will take her to TED DREWES.  SOOO good.and we will go to the zoo. and pet the sting rays. i was too scared in fresno. maybe i won't be this time!and we will go up in the arch.  and we will go to six flags!  the best part about the broadcast world, is the hookups.  i think i scored us some free tickets from some peeps at work. 

we are going to have so much fun!  kelli wins for best friend ever. :) 

there's still hope!

i was so over david freese once he got sent back down to memphis.  but i thought i would check out the schedule today for the redbirds to see who and where they play.  they play in portland. but i think that is this month. can't make it.  BUT... i can make it to their games in salt lake this august!  can't wait!  now i hope freese stays in aaa and doesn't get sent back up to st louis. although they need to try some new things.  we need some better offense! come back ankiel and ludwick!

i went to the whole series against the brewers.  all three games. and they lost all three. i am staying away from them for a few days. cubs are in town.  can't be giving them back luck when chicago's here. plus i am babysitting the cutest little boy tonight. the sports reporter that i work with had tickets for tonight's game so i offered to watch her baby boy.  

Game 2 of the Brewer's series.  Sweet seats up in the Redbird club.  Had one of the cupcakes i have been looking for the whole season.  was NOT good.  Can't wait for some sprinkles goodness!

Wearing the pink jersey for the first time.  Usually I am opposed to them, but at this game they were doing breast cancer stuff so I thought I would show some support.

My seats last night. Game 3 of the series.  These were in the Scoreboard Patio.  Free food and drinks the whole game.  They give you a cup when you walk in and you refill it with whatever you want to drink. these are usually $100 seats. i did not pay anywhere near that.  but they would only be worth that much if you were planning on drinking beer. although i did love the view.  it was a perfect night for a game. too bad we lost though. 

i had a few layers of cardinals stuff on.  i almost bought a shirt in the clubhouse store before the game. then i realized a) i have NO money. and b) i don't need anymore cardinals stuff...
this guy painted a "shirt" on.  it says Believe in Pujols. He's clean.  loved it. i wish you could see the front.  he has the biggest belly.  kinda like he's holding a baby JJ, like reshea.  i love people like this guy.  

6.6.6

i have 666 friends on facebook. i actually noticed this a while back when my roommate was kicking me out and calling me a psycho.  i was at like 664 at the time and thought how fitting if i was 666.  so as soon as i got to it i stopped accepting friendships until i could write a little blogpost.  but now i have a few family members wanting me to accept, so i can't keep them waiting, right?? haha

so now i fit the pyscho, devil label that a certain peep is giving me.

Whatever floats your boat...

Happy Mother's Day

My mom is THE BEST!

I wish I could be there in Vegas with everyone to help celebrate this great day with you. But i am glad you were able to come out last weekend. I had so much fun! Thanks for making the time to come out TWICE! you beat everyone for the number of visits.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I LOVE YOU!

p.s. your present will arrive soon. it took me a little longer than expected to complete.

I'm a sucker for cornrows and manicured toes

I went with our sports reporter to interview Nelly today.  he was holding a charity basketball game in town.  He was cool.  Very nice.  and afterward he gave me a kiss on the cheek.  :)

watch it here, especially watch when he starts talking about baseball. 

best line: "people better wake up and recognize that you're watching Albert. Pujols."

Oldy but Goody

I just realized that i started a post a few weeks ago that i never finished... my cardinals update post.  so last week the cardinals were out of town all week, but the week before that i had a chance to go to 2 games!  Two really great games!

On tuesday i tried something new.  First Pitch tickets.  the deal. you arrive at the box office when it opens at 9 am the day of the game.  depending on how sold out/popular the game is, the line could be long/could be short.  you pay for 2 tickets for $11!  yes. $11.  you get a voucher. 15 minutes before game time you stand outside a certain gate.  and you walk in. show your id and your voucher. and they hand you an envelope with two tickets in it.  the seats vary, depending once again on how sold out the game is.  there are only 275 pairs available for each game...  so on this tuesday i tried it out and scored!  section 160. row 29. seats 28 and 29.  great seats.  i don't have a picture from them though. because... brent called me and he was at the game too.  with ryan. so i went up to the redbird club and sat with them after the 2nd inning.  

i like the redbird clubs seats.  they are a the perfect level to see the whole game, without being too high up.  good seats.  also better food. i bet that's where the cupcakes are.  i NEED to find me a cupcake at the next game... 

tuesday's game was good.  it was a game of small ball, with a few triples and doubles added in. no hr's though.  but that's ok. i have seen plenty.  i was glad i made the switch up to sit with brent and ryan because some stupid mets fans were being annoying where i was sitting earlier. 

then i went to the game on thursday.  on wednesday i became sick.  immediately came to the conclusion that it was the swine flu.  thursday i picked up some first pitch tickets on my way to work.  i was planning on going during my 1 hour break.  but as soon as i got in, my boss said i looked horrible and that i shouldn't be at work. so i left. did my identity theft stuff and went to the game. 

it was a beautiful day!  and beautiful game!  i did the first pitch tickets again.  got section 160. row 29. seats 28 and 29.  if you were paying attention above you would realize that those are the exact same seats as before.  what a coincidence... especially since both days i am pretty sure they sold all pairs of tickets they had available. 

so i am enjoying the game. and i look down to some peeps in front of me. one guy who probably won't make it on the 2009 active roster. one guy who doesn't play for us anymore. and one guy who will be off the roster come july. (now i feel bad saying that because of his injury this week... a little too scary.)  friends don't let friends wear glaus or ankiel. or edmonds to a cardinals game.

here's the view from the seats.  no picture of me this time.  i was underneath the overhang for the second level and it was really bright outside, so you can't see me because i am a big shadow...  

what a great game again!  pujols went yard twice!  and ankiel hit a bomb too.  albert pujols loves the first inning hr's.  right now i can think of 4 in the past 2 weeks that he has hit in the first inning.  against the mets.  twice against the nationals. (one on my birthday) and last night against the pirates.  i love albert.  

this week i missed my usual tuesday game because my family was in town.  but i think i will try and catch some of any of this weekend's games.  i can't go TWO weeks without going to a game...
