Pineapple Brats
7 April 2010
*Today’s the last day to enter to win Sarah Sundin’s debut novel, A Distant Melody. It’s amazing and you don’t want to miss it, so make sure to leave a comment on Friday’s post.*
The Royals’ game on Monday was awesome, despite the loss. Here’s 7 reasons why:
1. Never having to use a portapotty (or however you spell that) while we tailgated, despite being quite pregnant. And in that same vein, the incredibly short line at the women’s bathroom. Seriously. There were 30 or so guys lined up outside the men’s, yet I walked right into a stall.
2. Having a kid young enough that I never had to take her to the bathroom (go diapers), and also not having to explain to her what those guys were doing who were lined up along the limestone wall in the parking lot. Icky.
3. Pineapple brats = yummy
4. Amazing seats. I love having seats so good that the woman next to me says, “So, who do you guys know?”
5. The annoying guy behind me and his friends leaving sometime around the 7th inning. Not only had I grown quite tired of the F-word, which he had a talent for shoving into every sentence, but he’d been complaining for about 4 innings that his iPhone wasn’t getting a signal. Although I’m a little bummed that they left before I figured out what they were doing with all the one-dollar-bills they kept exchanging. My best guess is making bets on players.
6. McKenna behaving like an angel the whole time, despite getting gypped out of her afternoon nap. About 4:45 she conked out on Ben, which hasn’t happened since she was about 6 months old. Made for cute pictures, and a happier child that evening.
7. The very short walk to the car due to our special parking passes that went with the amazing seats. Have I mentioned I love my brother-in-law? And his very generous friends? Much better than last opening day where we paid $10 to park on a grassy slope about two miles away from the stadium.
Of course the problem with spending my Monday in such a fashion isn’t it hasn’t really motivated me to buckle down and get to work. Rather, I’m spending my brain power thinking of pineapple brats.
Off to write. Have a great day everyone!
