Well, well, well, it has been awhile! Some great things are happening 'round here, let me share the awesomeness.

1. Cardinals continue their postseason! We are 2 - 0 in the NLCS as we head out to LA to hopefully sweep the Dodgers. Chris and I went to Game 2 on Saturday with my mom and dad.

Something you should know about my parents and sporting events - they only like good seats or seats that come with extras. So we sat in the outfield with a primo view of everything with an all-you-can-eat buffet and free beer through the 8th inning. All inclusive + a Cardinal victory = AWESOME!






Of course I had to get my nails in the Cardinal's spirit.



My youngest sister turned 21. And we had the a seriously amazing Sunday funday birthday party complete with a party bus, a trip to Fast Eddie's, and topped off with Taco Bell.



While school has been keeping me busy, I have found some time to whip up some wreaths for mi familia...

I really can't believe it is mid-October. I worked on swapping out my summer and fall wardrobe today but I fear I won't be wrapped up in any cozy sweaters for a couple more weeks. It was still in the 80s this past week.

Well I'm off to get ready for the work week. Here's hoping it's a quick one!

This weekend went far too fast. I think as the weather gets nicer, time, especially during the weekend feels like it moves quicker.

Chris and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings Friday night after work to watch the Cards and Blues play and enjoy a lovely gift card treat from Easter. Gotta love practically free dinners.

Saturday was glorious. All inclusive suite at the Cardinal's game.



Now don't get me wrong, free drinks and food, private bathrooms, and enough flat screens to sink a ship is fantastic, but sitting in the fancy seats just doesn't feel like you're at the game. Get me out there with the regular people who cheer, LOUDLY. And actually look like they're enjoying the game instead of making a business deal.


Eh. It was still a lot of fun with my sister, her boyfriend, and Chris.

I spent a good part of the weekend paying for my procrastination, cranking out about 10 pages worth of online classwork that is due tomorrow. Luckily I can still BS my way through "read and reflect" assignments and finished everything up about 6pm tonight. I'm going to try and take four online classes this summer so I can move over on the salary schedule. It is going to take much more commitment than I displayed for the one class I had over two months to complete. Yikes.

Finished up the weekend a pedicure and a little crafting. Finally finished a Cardinal's wreath for my mom that I started over spring break.


How was your weekend? Was it jam packed with activities or did you take a more leisurely approach? I'm hoping for a rather easy week at work. Have a great week!

No? Just me?

Well then, suffice it to say I feel like my work life and whatever semblance of personal life I am trying to cling to are out of control busy.

I stayed at work until 6pm tonight. School gets out at 3:15pm. No bueno. (I did squeeze a workout in there, so not all work, no play). Did I mention I got there at 6:45am? Blah!

But MAN, I am exhausted and ready for this school to be over. So I took me a little personal holiday and hit up the Cardinal's home opener yesterday!

Despite the ridiculous collapse of our bullpen in the 9th inning and the subsequent 13 -4 loss against Cincinnati, it was still a fantastic day. We tailgated for a couple of hours before the game and then dined on some delicious ballpark fare, including the first funnel cake of the season. Love me a funnel cake.

While I don't forsee a slow down at work or home, I'm going to try my best to keep up on the ol' blog, at least linking up for High Five for Friday.

Anyone else out there feeling crazy busy?
