Strangest thing. I was listening to AM 1310 on my way home from work the other night (weird, right?). And I won Brewers tickets. It was trivia, even! I guess now I'm an "official" fan? So anyways, we're going to another game tonight. Hopefully it will turn out better than the last game we went to...

"C" is for...

I guess "kitty" doesn't really start with a C.

Been a busy week so far... Summer has a way of doing that, doesn't it? Sunday we went to a going-away party for Eric's sister Jenni. She's moving to Texas! Brave girl. I couldn't move out of state... Had a hard enough time with Milwaukee, obviously! We got to spend time with the whole Stauffacher family, and that's where we got to see the cutie above. Yesterday we drove to Milwaukee after work to catch the Brewers get beat by the Cubs. Nice. It was embarrassing. Then we got to finish cleaning our apartment there. Last time we ever have to worry about a security deposit! Yay! And tonight we're going to see the newest Stauffacher... He was born Monday, so he's still a brand new little one. Hopefully I'll have some pics later. He's a cutie from what I've seen so far.

And it's only Wednesday! This week seems like it's 2 weeks long!

more from the pot

Made some Mexican rice tonight in the infamous pot. It's from The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. I got it from the library, but I ordered it online tonight (with free shipping, yay!). I'm very impressed with the variety of recipes and the cooking tips too. It's really a nice book.

And I really need to say Go Brewers! They're playing their asses off this week. I'm trying not to have a panic attack between watching them and the Cubs score. We're going to the game tomorrow so hopefully I won't have a stroke at Miller Park or anything. But really. Everyone just take a moment and say some words of encouragement for the boys... (and for me)

brewers and the numbers

So my brewers are no longer in first place (by a percentage point, but still...). So what to do? Just watch the game today and pray the Cubs lose. So cross fingers everyone!

But on a lighter note, I'm going to try to sew a skirt for Sophia with this cute numbers fabric. We'll see how it tuns out...

moving and more brewers

So we're moving soon...

I forgot how much I love packing and moving! Right... So that's my project for the next couple weeks. Organizing and getting rid of stuff. I'm trying to figure out if I can donate our entertainment center and have someone else come and pick it up. Because it is definitely not entertaining to do it myself...

And we went to another Brewer game Friday night. They lost, so it really wasn't that great. It was Gorman Thomas bobble head night too.

As you can tell from the picture Eric's bobble head did about as well as the Brewers. He's pissed. I think the amputee look is kind of classy, but I think he's going to try to gorilla glue it. Hmmm.... Could be quite the project.

my boys

Game was good today. 4-3 Brewers (of course)! Here's a couple pictures of Prince too. The first one is from our seats (nosebleed obviously). The second one is from Ryan and Hailey's seats (we moved down in the 8th). Can you tell the difference?? Anyways, definitely a good day, just a little sunburned... We're going Friday night too and sitting in even cheaper seats!? Should be fun (if we can see anything)...

(and here's my favorite boy of course)
