Lost Weekend
This past weekend was truly a lost weekend for me. Not in a "party your ass off like you're in 'Animal House'" kind of way... more like a "I've got a cold and it's really knocking me for a loop" kind of way. So I hibernated. I literally did not leave my apartment from Friday evening when I got home from work, until this morning when I left for work. Luckily, I had plenty of groceries. I didn't even have to do laundry, as I already had clean clothes for today.
One thing I did do was watch the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees in baseball's American League Divisional Series, 3 games to 1. After the Tigers lost the first game, all the pundits were anointing the Yanks World Series champions. (By the way, how does one get a job as a pundit? You obviously don't have to have a lot of knowledge on your given subject.) But underdog is a role that suits this Tigers team; they proved that heart and hunger CAN beat a 200 million dollar payroll. Now they're on to play the Oakland A's for the American League pennant... and if they can beat them, next stop will be the World Series.
It's a good year to be a Tigers fan.

LETS GO TIGERS!
As you know I was down there for Saturdays game. On a major stroke of luck I got a call on Friday night from my boss saying he had an extra ticket and asking if I wanted to go. My answer, Helllllll yeaaaaah I wanna go. One of the all time best experiences of my life. The crowd, the crazy cheering, the 8 F'n dollar beers it was all good. I wouldnt have missed it for the world!
LETS GO TIGERS!
Blah. Is baseball over yet? Bring on the HOCKEY!
I think my weekend was like that too! Being lost, I mean. Not the ohmygodifeelmiserable feeling. :)
Thank GOD for Football. UGH. Baseball is so exhausting to watch. I mean why on earth did they think it would take 9 innings to play a game? I have had games of Stratego and Monopoly last less time!!!
hOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER. I ended up at my Dr. Since I had a fever for 5 days she put me on the antibiotics and bed rest...LOL ;o) Right...Me stay in bed. BAWAAAHHHAAAA!
Sorry, baseball always has been, and always will be, my favorite sport. I'm sorry that some people weren't raised right. (grin)
go tigers!
the pre-season football pundits said the Lions might do well this year. I saw the highlights from the Vikings game...ouch! My Lions lose again!
I did NOT see that, James. *stern Christina look with a smirk*
Oh man. I hope you feel better. :)
And it's not the raw meat cooties, it's just that chicken is gross. Hamburger and beef products, no trouble with those. :)
