Why's it have to be so hot?
Yesterday my boss took myself and the department I spend about half my time working for to the Cardinals vs. Phillies game. This is where are seats were. These are by far the best seats I have ever had at a game, as far as the view goes.
It was so freaking hot yesterday. Not just the itshotandimuncomfortable type of heat. It was like the itssohotthatmybeeriswarmbeforeigetbacktomyseatandimmiserableandsweating likeamoose kind of heat. At one point, I think I could feel my brain boiling. I had to make the switch to water around the third inning. Our seats were in the direct sun all day. At one point, the scoreboard said it was 100 degrees. I'm guessing this was minus the head index and minus the fact that it was exceptionally humidy. And we lost.
The boss took us out to eat on the way home and dinner was good, I think. My brain was still fried at that point.
While I was gone yesterday, the boys had to get their haircut. I brought them to my mom's yesterday morning and she took them to the groomer in the afternoon. Then she brought them back to her house so they could run around the yard and play for awhile. She brought them home around 7 last night. And I got home shortly after that. They were tired last night and Vinnie almost slept all night. Don't they look adorable?
Thanks for taking care of our boys yesterday mom! We all love you.
And I'm not going to lie anymore, I miss Matt. I work tonight so at least I'll get a little bit of human interaction.
Hope you all have a great weekend! I'll be busy working, cuddling with the pups, and finishing my mission list.

Cardinals Game
We went to the Cardinals vs Brewers game on Friday night. We got to StL at 3:00. We were the 9th and 10th person in line at our gate. We stood in line for 2 hours.
But we got our two bobble heads.
We were winning 6 to 0.
Tony over-managed and went to our worthless bull pin too early. 
We lost 6 to 13.
After we left the game, we were standing along the street above the metro next to 3 cops and metro worker. The road we were standing next to was blocked off on one end. People were driving down it and then realizing that it was blocked off on the other end. A couple people made U turns. Then this guy drives up in a Camry and realizes it was blocked off and proceeds to back down the street. We saw that there was a Mustang behind him and thought he would stop. I think the mustang even honked at him. Nope. Mr. Camry backed into him.
Since there were three cops standing right there I assumed they would go and take care of the situation right away. They all looked at each other and then scattered. One of them even said to us, "This is how the metro cops do it." And then he walked off too.
At this point, the street is blocked by these two cars and people are still driving down it and getting rather upset that they are stuck. People start driving through the barricades and down the crowed street. People are honking and yelling. We just stood and watch. The line for the metro was ridiculous so we weren't going anywhere anyway.
Finally a cop shows up and tells the drivers to give each other their information. Mr. Mustang was having problem with this. I don't know if dude didn't have a license or what his deal was. But the cop was yelling telling him that Mr. Camry admitted to hitting his car and that all he need to do was give him his information. Mr. Mustang finally did.
Now where we are from, if you back up into a car at 11 at night, the cops would have you walking the line and following the tip of their pen. This cop didn't even right a report. Not to mention that three cops saw this happen and took off. It all seemed very bizarre to us.
This all just reminded me how much I love living where life is far from crazy.

The Cardinals are seriously going to have to get it together when the playoffs start.

Leaving work early
Today I am leaving work early. We are going to a StL Cardinals game tonight. It is Ozzie Smith bobble head night. The game starts at 7 p.m. Matt wants to leave our house no later than 12:30. It takes an hour and a half to get there. So yes that's right sports fans, we will be there about 5 hours early. Gotta get in line for the We will be in the section below Big Mac land. So hopefully the Cardinals hit lots of home runs. We love the Cardinals and we love St. Louis so it should be a great time.
Right now its a brisk 54 degrees. The high today is supposed to be 65. Its windy and cloudy. At least I will have a big strong man to keep me warm. And it should be a great game!Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!
