productive...kind of

So i'm the list making type of person. While at work on tuesday I made of list of things I wanted to get done on my days off. I'm super motivated while making these lists. So i thought yes...I going to get a bunch done while at home.

Flash forward to today. I did get to cross somethings off my lists, however there where two big things I wanted done that didn't get done. I wanted to go running, which I did not. I also wanted to finish weeding the backyard. I only have a little left to weed in the backyard...which let me tell you I filled 5 yard bags today only. My hands are aching. I was super dirty and I felt like I actually got something  done. I hope to finish tomorrow either before or after my run with Sarah. The rest of the lists involve being on the computer ordering and reserving things...which can happy later tonight.

So I guess I was kind of productive these past couple of days. It feels nice getting things done when all I really would like to do is lay on my couch and watch mindless tv.

*note to self, next house i don't want any landscaping done in the backyard, that way I can put in the amount of flower beds I want. And I can actually manage a veggie garden*

My heart

So this weekend I was able to go home to St. Louis. Not only was I able to spend time with wonderful friends and family but I was also able to go to my other home...busch stadium. This weekend just happen to be the Cardinals home opening weekend. My mom and I had talked about getting tickets since about January. Since the tickets are not cheap ( and we are not rich) we had to chose which day we wanted to go. Since the cardinals where giving away a replica of the world series ring, we chose to go to saturday. However that did not keep me from downtown StL on friday. I went with my best friend Cara. It was great. Too bad it was raining most of the day. To say that opening day is StL's holiday is an understatement. I believe about 80% of people called into work on friday so they could watch their redbirds play at home. Rain does not keep StL from celebrating their Cardinals. Not only did I not have tickets, but hundreds of cards fans didn't either. We all just came downtown to be around each other to begin baseball in StL. To say I was in my element is right on. I loved every bit of it. I still get chills just by seeing Stan "the Man" riding out in busch. It is all just so moving.

My mom and I went downtown early on Saturday, so we can hit the bars then get into busch to get our rings. Well...the bars where empty and we saw everyone waiting and we where going to get our rings. So we mad our way to the stadium. I just get this wonderful, "I'm finally home" feeling every time I walk into busch. Am I bit crazy about my cardinals...yes. They are one of my passions. If you don't like it then oh well! Anyway we watched the cardinals get their rings...what a moving experience. Wow! It had tears in my eyes. Even fredbird got a ring...which was very funny, you know it was fredbird.

The cards ended up beating the cubs....what is better than that?!?!?! Going to the game made me realize just how much I miss StL. I barely get to watch then let alone go to a game. It made my heart full going to celebrate opening day, watching them beat the cubs at the stadium, and just being in StL. This has pretty much made my year,,,and its only April...it can only get better right?
