It's Official.

I'm a geek.

I'm playing fantasy baseball this year at the request of my husband.

The 'live draft' is in an hour.

I can't even believe I'm admitting to this to everyone who reads my blog.

I'm such a geek.

I never used to be this geeky, I swear!

While I'm at it, opening day is in 5 days and we don't have tickets. Anyone know where we can buy even just one ticket??

More vacation photos!

Here's a few more photos from our trip.

This is how our first game started out. We even got there early to see if we could watch batting practice and meet some players. All we got to see was rain.


After the rain delay, the game started and the day ended up looking like this! It was beautiful!!


Ybor City is the place to be in Tampa at night. It is NOT easy to get to! The four of us drove around every night trying to get to this place!




We like group drinks. Here we are sharing a "Mug O' 'Rita"



This is Chris's plane...he flew us to Key West on Saturday.


This is view of Marco Island from the plane. This was our emergency stop if I was sick. The last time I flew on Chris's plane I was VERY motion sick. I was fine the whole way to Key West! Thank goodness for Dramamine!


We ate lunch at Sloppy Joe's and walked around downtown, down to the "Southernmost point." The green is for St. Patrick's Day. ;)


When we got back from Key West, we went to Ybor City for the St. Patrick's Day parade. CRAZY stuff! We saw a Girl's Gone Wild bus on the way...





And we spent some time on the beach!


After working half a week, as soon as we got home, I'm SO glad it's the weekend.

Who's Your Tiger??

Well, I have three.

Curtis Granderson, centerfield.


Nate Robertson. Pitcher and originator of Gum Time.


And Vance Wilson, our handsome backup catcher.


Yeah, we had a good vacation.

Ugh.

That was me on Friday night. Done with work for the week. 2 more work days before vacation, out with my husband, brother in law, sister in law and friends for the Tour of the Town. Free wine and appetizers all night. Eating at my favorite pizza place. Nothing could go wrong!

Then, Sunday I check the weather. It's 83 degrees right now in Florida. When we get there? Thunderstorms initally. Then low 70s. Now, low 70s is nice, don't get me wrong. But I was wanting a beach vacation! I bought a new bathing suit, I was ready to get a nice tan, and see the Tigers. Now our game could get rained out and it may be too cool for the beach. And, the day we leave....back to 80 degrees.

Then today, I come down with a cold. Crazy fast too. I felt a tickle in my throat at lunch, and by 3:00 I was feeling like a truck had hit me. I even started my airborne/Zicam treatments IMMEDIATELY!

I just want to go back to Friday, when everything was great!

As negative sounding as this post is....I am keeping good spirits. John got me some chicken soup, and I'm feeling a bit better! I could still fight this cold off! And, we expected bad weather in Mexico last year, and it couldn't have been more beautiful. So, I'm also still holding out for good weather in Florida next week.

We'll see!

I did do a couple of layouts this weekend that I'm really happy with. (You can click on them to see them larger.)

This one is me and my dog Taurus about 26 years ago. This was for a scraplift challenge at the Zone. I scraplifted my friend Stacey.


This is one of Jillian...she is definitely a wild child! Love these photos of her.

Not much to say...

We have had a nice relaxing weekend...haven't done a whole lot. We are getting ready for our Lakeland vacation...which is turning into a Clearwater vacation with a trip or two to Lakeland for the Tigers. We'd rather stay on the beach, and drive to the Tigers! 10 days til we leave! The Tigers are doing awesome so far... they are 4-1. The one was lost by Jason Grilli (relief pitcher). He gave up 9 runs in 2 innings. ;( Not how you want to perform during spring training!

I did this page for my Heidi Swapp Big Picture class. This is the March page. I'm so happy with how it turned out!


Edited to add: I'm an only child. The sisters in my layout are my sisters in law that I feel very lucky to have! I always wanted a sister and now I have 5!
