Shoe sadness

My lovely Progress shoes (my reward for the hours and hours of overtime) are too big. It’s the first thing I’ve ever bought off the Internet and I’m disappointed that they don’t fit. I don’t really have all that much time to shopping anymore; I’m still adjusting to the demands of the new position. It [...]

It’s gone

We sold the Integra, I’m kind of sad. It wasn’t the BMWs my sisters got, but it was my first car and carried me through college and my first real job, about seven moves in all. I hope the teenager who bought it puts in a radio and has some fun with it. I know [...]

On the 13th day, Mo rested

After a 12-day streatch at the paper, I’m finally enjoying a weekend with my hubby. Producing the special section, which is always rough, and adjusting to my new duties took a lot out of me. I rewarded myself with Progress shoes but the day off is much better. We saw the MSU bears get embarassed [...]

YEEAAAAAHH!!!

How about that David Eckstein?! In a game that was tighter than a pair of Richard Simmons’ jogging shorts, the little guy came through. All of these guys are coming through. The Cards are really playing like a true team. For the first time, I really feel like we’re gonna win it. We only have [...]

New skills

 I’m finally able to do crow pose. It looks a lot harder than it really is. Once I got over my fear of breaking my nose all I needed to work on was  the balance, which is a lot easier than it looks. 
Mom tried to teach me how to knit and after three days of [...]

Backing in?

So the Cards “backed into the playoffs.” I don’t really buy that term, because it makes it seems like they won the division by default since the Stros lost to the Braves on Sunday. Hey, it’s 162-game season (minus one this year). Whoever wins the most games gets to play in October. The Cards won [...]

16 hours in St. Louis

Who would’ve thought that less than a day in your hometown could make you so homesick? We drove to St. Louis to pick up Mike’s car, which we left at Mom’s after buying my new one on Monday. Dinner at Cracker Barrel with Mom and baby-sitting the boys and the baby may not seem like [...]
