Free Rockies.

One of my friends told me I am the Queen of the Free. Basically, if I can get something for free, I will. Some of my other friends call me a hustler.

Some of it is just down right luck... being in the right place at the right time.

At the moment I have a lot of time too as I'm DONE with the intensive care unit. Thank. You. God.

So naturally I went out on a craigslist date on Friday with a cute blondie who happens to be my age. I'm not sure why suddenly most of the men I'm dating are not at least 5 years older than I am. No matter.

Blondie and I went out for drinks in the lower downtown area of Denver. We kept getting closer and closer to Rockies Stadium as we bar hopped, then finally decided to just go to the game. We were standing in line at the ticket booth when a security guy comes over.

He asked us if were interested in tickets. We said sure. Then he handed us two tickets, saying "I'm allowed to give away 2 tix to every game, so I find good-looking people to give them to."

I'd like to give a big shout out to God one more time for blessing me with good looks, a kickass body and amazing hair.

We went into the game for FREE and sat 3 rows from the field in left field. A great date... except the Rockies lost.

Why I love OleMiss

If I make it to NYC for residency, I think I'll end up with OleMiss. He sure knows how to say exactly what I wanna hear.

Me: so are you a Rangers fan now or just rooting for them?

OleMiss: just rooting for them right now, probably on my way to becoming a fan

Me: not a bad team to root for. I'd end our friendship if you went for Canadiens or Devils.

OleMiss: I could never go for either of them, goes against god AND country...

I couldn't have said it better myself...

Next year should be better for my Bruins.

The Biggest Unofficial Holiday

I was plotting my escape from work for Tuesday afternoon as early as 1 month ago. Once I figured out my schedule, I figured I could just pull the whole 'I've got a doctor's appointment' move. Classic... works.

But when I woke up Tuesday morning to the sun shining, I knew I needed to take the whole day off. I mean, come on... half of Boston was taking the day off. It is, after all, the OPENING DAY at Fenway Park!

I got up early and called in sick. I stayed up because I felt guilty. Around noontime, RedSox and I headed over to Fenway. It was a chilly day, but the excitement warmed us up. The opening ceremony with the presentation of the World Series rings was fantastic. I think I stood out because I cheered the loudest for the team doctor.

What? He gave me free tix before I started dating RedSox.


There were a ton of sports figures from Boston's past in town from the Bruins, Patriots and Celtics. They came with their colors and trophies. Once again I got looks because I cheered the loudest for Bobby Orr.

What? I love hockey players.

I think the highlight of the game was with the dropping of the World Series banners. They fell from the green monster gracefully, but 1918 dropped at the end of the wall. Where was 2004 gonna fall?

Then over all the banners, dropped the largest banner I have ever seen in my life. 2004 spanned the ENTIRE green monster. We cheered and cheered and cheered for a long time for the biggest win in sports history as far as Boston is concerned.

Then God stepped in. They dropped another gigantic banner OVER 2004 for the 2007 win. The banner was swept up by the wind. People on the field kept trying to pull it down, but the wind held it high... keeping 2004 alive. We all cheered and laughed because we felt the same ;)

So I skipped work, didn't tell anybody, let everyone think I spent the day home sick... when really I celebrated the best unofficial holiday in history.

A night in with the Sox

When Bobby Kielty hit his home run, I texted a bunch of people with the words "We Win."

No exclamation. Just a statement of fact.

Some thought I was jinxing the team. I'll be honest. I would have rather had the boys back home in Boston for the win, but I knew that wouldn't happen.

I knew we were going to win. The couple of runs scored by the Rockies gave me "hope" that Colorado could bring the series back to beantown, but I still knew we were going to win.

OleMiss actually knows Seth Smith from high school. I texted that he was hot. OleMiss replied, "and he is so going down."

Which he did. Then the screams echoed across Beacon Hill, along with horns blaring. All of Boston busted out of the bars to tear up the streets in celebration.

I thought about joining them, but I was all cozied up on the couch... enjoying the win on my night in with the Sox.

12

That's the number of american league titles we hold. For some that's a lot. But after 100 years, I think it's pathetic.

Today I will not complain.

I most likely will be going to the World Series game on Wednesday. I will cheer my butt off against the Rockies (though secretly I am very impressed with them).

It's another great year for the Sox and Pats :)
