Red Sox-Yankees, April 20th, 2007

For Chris' 30th birthday, which is quickly approaching, I bought him 2 tickets to see the Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park. The weather was perfect--lower 70's with a slight breeze. It was certainly a nice break from all the rain we've been having as of late. Chris and I left for the game rather early, in order to take in all the festivities. We actually were able to watch some of the players arriving at the Stadium. David Ortiz, who is pictured on the left, arrived in his pimped-out, white Escalade with the song, "This Is Why I'm Hot" pumping through the open windows. It was rather amusing seeing each player drive up in their different vehicles. I guess we assume each must drive a flashy, pimped-out vehicle, like Ortiz', but that wasn't the case. Mike Lowell drove a white GMC Yukon, Mike Timlin drove a VW SUV, Varitek drove a Volvo SUV and several others did drive Hummers. It was a neat experience. The game was great too. We sat in the pavillion section, which is an elite club area. We had access to a restaurant, cushioned
seats and in seat

waitress service. The Red Sox dominated the game and ended up winning 7-5. Chris was thrilled because we not only saw Beckett pitch most of the innings, but Papelbon came in as closer. He is the player pictured to the left. It was a fun experience and hopefully a most memorable birthday.

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

7 weeks

7 weeks has brought a couple of changes for sweet baby Mya. She is eating 5+ ounces of milk/feeding. Mya is much more awake now. She typically sleeps for about 4 hours during the day, otherwise is checking out this big bad world. Mya seems to enjoy our daily walks. She looks around and is a pretty content kiddo. Claire tends to her pacis if the need arises. We've introduced her to the activity mat, which she enjoys if she is left alone; however, given the fact that Claire too is fascinated by the mat and Mya, being left alone is a rare occurence. Mya sits in the swing daily, although she isn't a huge fan at this point. We're hoping to change her ways. She is strong, holding her head for minutes at a time and loves standing on her little feet. Mya has begun smiling. She has done this consistently for the past several days, but it is difficult to capture such an event on film as she stops smiling the moment you break eye-contact. This milestone is such a heart melting one. Th...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
