did somebody say sweep???
ok. this was more relevant for yesterday, but here i post a day behind the news. what else is new. for those of you who don't know this, our friend irene is living with us while she looks for a new place to buy since relocating to the US from a 3 year stint overseas in a blank_STAN that i never could pronounce. of all the wonderful things i love about irene, i ALWAYS forget she is a diehard yankees fan. COUGH. yes, marymary, i have the enemy close, very close. there are things i let slide... like her parking her SUV in front of our house with a FREAKING yankees license plate holder. wtf? although, one of these nights, i am SO going outside with a screwdriver and replacing it with a redsox holder. i wonder how long that would take for her to see... and it doesn't help that aRODhole has been ripping it up for the pinstripe pincushions. so i get to hear about these stats ad-nauseum. BUT this here weekend was such a wonderful-beautiful time of the year where the redsox beat the yankees 3 games in a row. yeeehaw. and since i am a much nicer person and kinder soul... i only bring it up a few times a day. b/c let's face it, with these bosox you never really now how long the gloating can last, but for now, i like to ask her how 4th place feels. it's also nice having steveO (being a orioles lover) stand firm as a yankee hater...which makes him more often than not pro-redsox. so i can actually let him start the trash talk and then i just get my hat for fun. but i still miss nomar. :(
a few months ago, i agreed to be a running buddy for my 9 year old friend Elia's 5k. girls o n the run, used to mean a different thing in my day! She is having a practice run today and since i haven't started running at all and only have 3.5 weeks to get ready, i said, sure i will go and see where i fall(in the pack, not on the ground!) so wish me luck. one small problem is that when i agreed, i was pregnant and i had a built in excuse for why i would be slow... now i got nothing for excuses and i can't be beat by a bunch of sniveling 9 year old's running buddies! sheesh! shots on goal in last night's over 30 game:4, goals:0, final score: 0-3(we lost).
