Bad night All around

I wont dwell on last night's sox game and Smoltz's disappointing start for the redsox.

And as any of you who dont live under a rock know, Michael Jackson's sudden death was very shocking and sad :(

I dont think today will get a full blog post. Nothing good to say.

Red Sox Game 2

We went back to nats park last night. Section 141, right between JD Drew (who actually batted well) and Jacoby Ellsbury.

I ran into an old friend from college, Andrew, to watch Batting Practice. We got right up to front row and i got some great pictures which maybe some day I'll post.

It was great watching big papi hit a home run and trot around the bases at big papi speed (which, for anyone keeping score, is faster than mo vaughn speed)

There was one kid a few rows infront of us wearing a matsui shirt, so the drunk guy infront of us kept yelling "matsuuuuui", and then a meat head in the section over caught on and brought a little un needed racism to it instead of pure yankee hatred. Then the rest of our section caught on at the top of the 8th inning to start a matsui chant.

I love red sox games!!!

Red Sox Game 1

Last night Peter, Pete, Emily, and I went to the first nationals redsox game IN dc for the first time ever! It was AWESOME. The start of the game was neck and neck untill the 7th inning when we pulled ahead and really sealed the deal in the 8th.

Always fun watching the sox.

possibly the best play of the game was Nick Green (no, i dont miss julio lugo in the least). He jumped up to catch a ball heading this way, and as gravity pulled him and the caught ball back to earth he leaned down, tagged the runner, landed and threw the ball to First for the double play all in one swift motion. It was like ballet on the field.

Sometimes I really miss living in boston...or should i say redsox nation.

Thanks to Jim

Take a look at this article about what your facial hair really says about you. Its good for a laugh.

I particularly like how the mutton chops are good for people with adamanteum skeletons.

Traveling through a nore'easter

This weekend i went to Boston for Julie and Matt's wedding.

I took delta from dca to bos and couldn't have been more disappointed by their service on both ends.

On the way there I checked in on time, paid for my luggage online and arrived at the airport about an hour and a half before my flight. I went to the self check machine like a usually do, but they had no record of my prepaid luggage! So i got in line. One employee came over and said "who is waiting for baggage tags" and moved us to another line. Then he came over one by one and asked if we had already used the self check machine. I explained what had happened and he told me i needed to get in another line so i moved to the other line. The lady at the counter then informed the two of us "in line" that our line wasn't real and we'd have to get to the back of yet another line OF TWENTY PEOPLE. At this rate i'm cutting it close to my flight and getting worried. I decided to just go back to the first line i was in and was eventually helped and made it to the gate just in time to board.

On the return flight I checked in a little after the 24 hour mark and got a "seat request card" instead of a seat assignment. I got to the gate an hour ahead of time and there was no gate agent in sight. She finally showed up minutes before the flight should have taken off and was in no rush to do anything to help anyone in the now formed line. I got up to the desk and showed her my ticket and she said "we'll deal with that later"...um i'm a nervous traveler, i just want a f'ing seat assignment otherwise i would have picked southwest, the far superior airline. the flight should have taken off at 5:35 and i didn't get my seat assignment till around 7pm.

Also I had my suitcase to carry on, and my purse and a TINY plastic bag for some pasta i had just bought. The lady informed me i had 3 bags which i couldnt have and that i'd have to get out of line and consolidate. wtf. I stuffed the pasta in my purse and ignored her.

So basically what i'm saying is dont fly delta if you dont line being treated like you dont matter

Slow hour

I am leaving early today, at 2:30 because I am flying home to boston for Julie and Matt's wedding. This is 1 out of 5 weddings this summer yet only 1 out of 2 that DONT fall on a long weekend, but it does fall on a holiday weekend (fathers day).

I have one more hour left of work and i think the clock has stopped. Each time i look down its only one minute later.

The plus side is i went shopping today and bought my first diane von furstenberg dress and i'm totally in love with it. I dont know how it will wear since its a little big and i had to pin it, so it may not work out all that great for this weekend, but thats ok. I'll bring it to a taylor so i can wear it again some other time

Graduation

Last night I went to see Mr Connor Bones' kindergarten graduation. It was just as cute and sweet as I had imagined. The 10 children sang a bunch of songs in Spanish and English, and recited the alphabet and thanked the parents and were just all around cute. Plus Connor was by far the most popular kid there, he had a large portion of his extended family there, me, and the baylys. And as a nice surprise for me, little Lila was wearing the cutest little dress I bought last summer for them so that was exciting to see :)

Maybe my sister had the right idea doing a major that lets her play with kids all the time.
