babies at the ballgame...

So Monday night at the ballpark was a great time! I met my MIL at the MARTA downtown, Danny came and picked us up, we went and had some yummy asian food for dinner and then took the shuttle over to the Braves game where we met Mike, Julie, Sarah & Greggie. The Braves were playing the Marlins which was fun for us since we all (well minus the babies) lived in South Florida and they were our "hometown team" for awhile, I'm a Braves fan now. I decided. I mean, I live here and plan to for a long time so I might as well root for the home team!

Anyways, onto the game - let's be honest, I didn't really watch the game it was all about the babies... they are just so stinking cute. I love them. examples....

seriously. so. freaking. cute. oh and of course, it wouldn't be complete without Greggie stealing someone's beer....

that baby sure does love beer. calm down, before you call CPC - the beer was empty and we took it away after the photo opp.

great night with the family...

and my love....

but I know what you're all wondering about.... and the answer is YES.....

we got cotton candy. and it was glorious. 

take me out to the ballgame...

ready for light and fluffy?

heading to the braves/marlins game tonight...

our seats won't be as good this time [aka we're in the nosebleeds]

but we'll definitely have a blast with the fam.

plus, it'll be fun to see our hometown team play

...and you better believe I WILL be getting some cotton candy this time.

let the countdown begin....

now that the College World Series is over... 
[GO COCKS! national champions for the second year in a row...]
let the countdown begin...

64 days until SC football!

65 days until UCF football!

and just for jigga and all you Gators out there...

65 days until you can bust the jean shorts out UF Football!

...can't come soon enough!

GAME....

.....COCKS.

my premonition was correct. [clearly]

it begins. 8pm tonight. 

one person in my marriage is not going to bed happy tonight.

[my money is on DJ]

with that being said... let's GO GAMECOCKS!

monday could be dangerous....

there's a [pretty large in my opinion] chance that the two teams left standing in the College World Series will be University of South Carolina [duh] and Florida [oh man].... this is not good news for my marriage.


in case you don't recall, sc beat uf last time they played baseball and football... 

however, I play fair - I will add that uf did beat sc [by one measly point] the last time they played basketball... 

house divided? you can say that again.

[yes, we went to a bruins game when sc/uf played football last fall in attempt to not fight]

I'm feeling a wager [and lots of beer]coming on...

[GO COCKS!]

seriously?

check out this Evan Longoria catch... 
it's unknown if it's real or staged

I mean, seriously, Butler's Blue is definitely the cutest mascot out there...

check out this adorable article for more about Blue... [clearly, I love him]

holy new guilty pleasure batman--you're cut off!

I will be the first to admit I have AMAZING [ok terrible] taste in TV... the trashier the reality TV show, the more likely that I'll want to watch it [Tila Tequila, Rock of Love, Daisy of Love, Tool Academy... just plain terribly amazing].

So, we don't have cable [I hate you DJ] and honestly I hardly ever notice it [other than when reading my friends facebook statuses] and we have our TV hooked up to DJ's old Dell so we can watch hulu on it but all we really watch is Modern Family [aka BEST show EVER]...go watch it NOW if you dont already!

well... now my world has just been turned upside down - and I must admit... I miss TV now...

[just a little]

and lets be honest we WILL have cable when college football season rolls around [I wonder if we can get the SEC channel in MA?]

BTW ONLY 71 days til kickoff in William's Brice.... aaah I can just hear 2001 playing right now...

whoops, sorry got distracted there...

back to the real reason for this post... You're Cut Off 

I came across this lovely gem of a TV show while running at the gym yesterday [I know you're proud, I'm proud of myself too]

VH1 has outdone themselves.... "being rich rehab" for nine spoiled princesses... they have been CUT-OFF and now have to suffer through reality TV hell. It's freaking classic. I love it.

I knew when I saw the bleached blonde big boobed Erica sitting on the floor in her "JAP and Proud" hot pink tank top talking about the difference between "old money and new money" we had a winner.... yes. I'm hooked. They only have one episode online right now [?!] so I'll have to figure out a way to time my runs around when it's playing... yes I'm that pathetic. Also, I think Jacqueline is going to win it all - she's sweet under that rich bitch spoiled exterior. We could be friends.... but only if she lends me her Chanel bag [she got her first one at age 5.... MOM?! wtf where is my Chanel bag?!]

You can watch episode two here.... which is exactly what I did at work today [thank God for dual monitors]!

Come on, I can picture it now, laying on the couch in PJs, Sunday afternoon hangover... what would be better than a You're Cut Off Marathon.... aaahh I can taste it now.

There's my I miss trashy-TV rant... go on judge me, it's okay, I judge myself.

goal of a lunch break.

DJ was in the town over from where I work today so I took my lunch break early [and extended it a bit] and met him at the local movie theater where they were playing the world cup USA vs Algeria game... holy amazingness. DJ is a pretty big soccer fan so he was all nerves [so cute] and I've gotten pretty into this world cup because of him - we went and saw the US team play in CT in their kick-off series the week before they flew to South Africa... pretty amazing.

It was so cool to watch in a movie theater full of people too on the big screen -- so much excitement and positive energy when they scored that goal... I almost cried, really. I know I'm a big baby... they were all just so happy!

That goal was unreal, I was about to be so heartbroken for the US if they were out of the cup without losing a game... so here are some of our family soccer pics :)

Ollie might be English but he still roots for the good ole USA [we imagine he has an english accent]

and some WAY overdue pics of the US vs Czech game in Hartford, CT....

Can't wait to watch the next USA game!

Crossing my fingers that it's during a weekend so I can enjoy it with DJ [and adult beverages]!
