Please Welcome by Baseball Boyfriend to St. Louis!

2 weeks ago, I was sitting on the couch watching TV and then I get a text from my BFF, Melissa. She said "Your boyfriend is a Cardinal." HOLY COW.  I don't think I've ever jumped so high off the couch. I ran dowstairs out of breath. Jeff thought something was wrong. I screamed at the top of my lungs "LANCE BERKMAN IS A CARDINAL AHHHHHHHHHH!"

For those know know me, I have a deep love of Lance Berkman. Please don't ask how I came to love him so much, but I do. It all started when he played for the Houston Astros and for some reason Jeff kept calling him Fat Elvis. I thought it was funny/cute. Then every time we would go to Cards games and the All-Star Ballots would come around, I'd always pick Lance, even though Albert is in the same spot. Jeff didn't like that.

The best was last year when Jeff's brother invited us to sit in the Green Seats when they were playing the Astros. We got to sit on the visitor side, so I was able to get some lovely shots of my Lance.






Strike Out - it's okay, you're a Cardinal now!!

What hurt me the most was when he was traded to the yucky NY Yankees. I thought we were over, done kaput. No way in Gods Green Earth would I support Lance in Pinstripes. Luckily, that was VERY short lived  and now he will be spending 1 year with me. Jeff is okay with this. He knows my love. He feels the same about Jennifer Garner - but she doesn't work in St. Louis. Muahaha!

So, as we approach March just so you know I'll be watching an awful lot of baseball and probably not blogging as much - so if you want to go to a game, let me know.

Let's go Cards!

I was wearing my Don't Fear the 'Stache T-shirt - LOVE!

What I'm Lovin' - Holiday Edition!

With my lack of holiday spirit (I didn't even put up a tree!) this shopaholic hasn't even stepped foot into a mall to buy a single Christmas Present, let alone anything for myself. Shock, I know!  But here are a few things that I'm loving now, and with my birthday coming up, they are a few goodies I'm hoping for!

  • Essie Nail Polish Winter Collection - in Going Incognito, Mink Muffs and Chinchilly. Hubs liked Going Incognito. 
  • Trader Joe's Unfiltered Apple Cider - Add a little cool whip and carmel and it takes just like Starbucks Carmel Apple Spice
  • Holiday Christmas Cards - I love receiving mail, and I love hanging them on the wall - so if you want to send me one, I'll gladly accept it, and send you one back!
  • Busy Busy! I've had something going on every night the past 2 weeks, I'm really excited about my 4 day weekend over Christmas
  • My Birthday in 6 days - I'm looking forward to see the St. Louis Ballet with my Mom and Steve!
  • One Birthday Present I know I'm getting - I've become obsessed with Lilly Pulitzer lately!

So, what are you lovin'??
