Today was absolutely gorgeous – low 70s and sunny with a slight breeze. Springtime in Michigan doesn’t get any better than that!
Our first task today was to go pick up my car from the fix it up place – even though we had no place to go on Friday or this morning, not having my car around was hurting me! No change to just slip out for awhile or go on an adventure all spur of the moment like!
We’ve decided, since 4 of our main bushes in our front landscaping up and died over the winter, that would would start fresh (we didn’t do the original landscaping, and have wanted to redo it for 7 years!). Starting fresh means that we need to dig out the old and prepare for new. We got down and dirty for a few hours doing that while the kids played around us with the neighbor kids. A good time was had by all. hehe
Matt was pretty upset about having to come inside, even though the neighbors were leaving and we’d been out ALL DAY, so I decided to take him out to dinner and shopping; just the two of us. We went to Cracker …
Saturday at our house
Things I forgot
…to ask my psychic tonight:
Is my boy EVER going to be interested in potty training?
If I do eventually sell my business, WHAT THE HELL WILL I DO?
Will I be a successful vegetable gardener?
…to get my boys to bed on time
…to drop of the box for Easter decorations to the office.
…to mail my rent check for the office.
…to go to the bank (for the office, of course!)
…to exercise.
…to do more laundry.
…to eat something yummy for dinner
…to finish cleaning my room so I can finally scrapbook again
What I DIDN’T forget to do today:
…listen to / make my boys giggle with reckless abandon and laugh along with them
…squish my dog
…take a shower and get dressed
…pick up dog poop before the kids rolled over it in their jeeps
…to tell my boys that they are awesome, handsome, smart and that I love them
…to remember why my nails are purple.
Opening Day in the D (or, THAT was a GOOD day!)
Mike and I headed down to CoPa (Comerica Park, that is) on Friday to take in our first Tiger game of the season – coincidentally, Opening Day, 2009.
We got there early enough to find good parking in our usual secret spot and wander around outside the park before we headed in. The streets and bars downtown were crowded with a festive vibe – people everywhere!!
It was a beautiful (ok, so that’s stretching the truth a little – it was low 50s and breezy, but at least there was sun for awhile!) day and our seats were about 6 rows back in right field – right behind Magglio. As we watched the game and hung out, we laughed a lot, especially at the people around us…
My favorites, overheard at the ballpark:
(after a well-hit fly ball) “Man, he hit that ball like 420 yards!” (Now, THAT would be impressive!)
(a lady trying to describe where she was sitting): “I’m on the main floor, right behind the first base, er, in right, er left, field!” (Main floor? Lady, when is intermission?? hehe)
(after a ball went foul): “Come on, that ball was out of bounds!” (hey, dude, that’s the second time you’ve confused baseball with …
