Baseball is here!

My favorite day of the year. Opening Day. The happiest day in St. Louis. SNOW? Seriously!?!? Yes, I'm afraid. Not only snow but 30 degree weather...maybe even in the 20's...maybe not, but it felt like it. Scratch that - it felt like 20 below. But Dang! it was worth it! :) John & I layered up & headed down to the stadium. We didn't have tickets but the intentions to go belly up to one of the bars outside of the stadium. But when we got down there, John thought we could scalp some tix...hmm...I'm not really what you'd describe as "risky"...which, the act of scalping seriously seems to be exactly that. I don't know...I'm just not comfortable with doing something like that...illegal, isn't it? Apparently, it is but the po-po don't seem to mind down at the ballpark. So......I witnessed his scalping skills...some good...some, well, I will get to that.... We got these $37 tix for 20 bones. I thought, "SCORE"! but after we got in the stadium & bought our first brewskie, we realized that YES, they were in the same section, but NO, they weren't together. HUH?? WHAT FOOLS! We totally got schnookered by that scalper guy! So...we decided to just stand with the standing room section & walk around. That was definitely the better idea than sitting & turning into an ice cube in our seats (not together). John even signed up for a credit card to get me a free blanket. What a trooper! Although it was cold and the Cards lost in the 9th inning to the Pirates, we had a great time. We have tix for the game on Friday night. I hear it's supposed to be in the 60's. That's what I'm talking about! GO CARDS!

Hello! Here I am!!

Hello to all of you out there!
After chatting with my two wonderful coworkers & fellow bloggers (I'm hoping they will add their blogs on here so you can check out how pro's do it!), I decided to start a little page so that I can keep in touch with my friends & family spread high & low.

Some days my life seems pretty boring & other days I think my head is going to spin off!! I take tons & tons of pics that I am so far behind in sending out, so I'm hoping I can get a few on here to keep you all in the loop on my latest & greatest adventures.

I have two new very wonderful men in my life. The first is my beautiful Godson & nephew, Michael Jay Marcacci II. Isn't he gorgeous?! I took this pic last weekend. He is 3 and 1/2 months old and just the sweetest little buddy.

So...........that leads me to the second ---- my new beau, John! He's darling too! I think so ;) Here's a pic of us at the Blues game a couple of weeks ago. It's been an exciting season and we have gone to two games in the past two weeks...we're hoping for Playoffs!! Anyway, he found me at the keg at a Christmas party (surprised? nah...didn't think so!) and we've been together since. I hope you all get to meet him soon!!

STL has had a few nice days lately. Just enough to make you want to beg & plead to the weather Gods for warm spring air. I made my first round at Home Depot's garden section on Tuesday. I planted some flowers & herbs and am REALLY looking forward to cooking with my basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary & cilantro. I'm hoping to get some SERIOUS house projects done this spring/summer ---- landscaping, renovate my kitchen & refinish my hardwood floors. Woo hoo! We'll see how far I get. More to come! Take care & sending all hugs & love.
