it's nearly here!

my long awaited copy of Gluten Free Girl is nearly here! i pre-ordered it back in june, and tomorrow it's finally released! i checked amazon's tracking function and it was mailed out on the 4th and it's in PA now. hopefully it will make it to me tomorrow!! but if not the tracker says the 12th.

i bought two copies intending to give one to LK because she is a writer and has more crazy health problems than anyone i know, but she has gone on the record more than once claiming how much she hates her writing at times.. now i wonder if there is not a better candidate out there to receive my extra copy. any takers? AR? first person to respond that they want it, it's yours.

go yankees?

i realize how crazy this might sound but i am really hoping the yankees continue to win. don't get me wrong, i'm not going to the dark side and relinquishing my allegiance to the red sox, but yesterday when the yankees were faced with elimination and Torre his job, i felt bad for the yankees. i was kind of hoping they would come back. because lets face it, look at how fast the red sox trampled over the angels... it's very similar to the world series back in '04, and how fun was that series? i admit that i didn't watch most of those games... i was thinking earlier this weekend that i would prefer not to see a yankees/red sox series this year because it's too stressful. however i've had a change of heart and think that i would feel cheated if the sox didn't have to go through the yankees to get to the series. i admit the games are intensely stressful, but at the end of the day i think it's worth it.. who's with me?

eat the worm...

last nights red sox win was pretty spectacular. the yankees loss was also cause for celebration. we all had a great time at the duckling. when manny crushed that ball the bar went nuts and RC, the owner claimed "free drinks for everyone!". so the bartender made up a pitcher of shots for the bar. so exciting.


KW ate this. chewed it even.


the KWs. look at KW sporting the 2004 world series hat with the duck logo in it..

here are the rest of the pics from the night.

game 2

tonight is game 2 of the red sox/angels series. i have my fingers crossed dice-k can handle the post season. the KWs and i are celebrating KWs bday watching the game. i'm a little nervous "sloppy joe" will be there.. lets hope not.

tonight JBP rolls into town.. tomorrows plans are up in the air now due to a misinterpretation of the baseball schedule. maybe we'll head up to the old alma matter and do a bridge street run. :)

i'm glad it's friday. this week has crawled by. too bad i don't have monday off though. :(

we were the sole winners!!

so exciting!! we won, outright.

made me smile...

i'm sure you new england folks have seen this ad nauseum.. but i don't usually get to see the sox games broadcast from NESN, so i just caught this on youtube/bill simmons blog..

happy birthday jenny b.

in honor of jen turning 31 last week i put together 31 photos cataloging some of the great times we've had over the years. these are not all of them, since i only got my digital camera in 2003, and i only had a handful of photos scanned in from before then...



here are the full sized photos.. i put in a few more than 31. it was too hard to narrow them down.. enjoy, and happy birthday jbp!
