First Red Sox game EVAH!!

Last night I got to see my first ever Red Sox game at Fenway! Yes I know, all the years I've lived here, I've never been to a baseball game.

The evening started out with some bar hopping. The first stop was The Pour House. I had some killer nachos and did a grape crush shot with my friend Bryan. Place had lots of atmosphere, I'd like to go back there.


Next stop was The Lower Depths Tap Room. This place gave you cans of beer...and they had 40s of malt liquor. Tried some Mickey's...reminded me of the stuff my dad used to drink...not a fan. Place was small, but they had some tater tots, smothered in cheese and bacon...can you say "OMG!" I am going to make that taste bud sensation at home...who wants to be my guinea pig?!

We had awesome seats, right by 1st base. The weather was nice, no rain. The Sox were losing by 6, but in the 8th inning, they came back and made it 8-7. There were 2 people on base and Pedroia was at bat. He hit the ball, and it came SOOOO close to being a homerun, but came up short. They lost 8-7 to the Toronto Blue Jays, but the experience was phenomenal!! There was so much energy, it made it all so much fun!

And our niece Joss just happened to be at the same game and it was her first game ever too! What are the odds?! She and her boyfriend came to find us and we got to hang out for awhile. We haven't seen her in months, and it's just funny that we were there at the same time. She is moving to Colorado in a month, so this was such a treat!


Had to have a Fenway Frank and peanuts while there. Please don't comment on how raunchy the photo below looks. Keep it clean people!! There was a girl there selling water, and she was balancing the box of water on her head, all the while yelling, "Wahtah!" I love being in New England!!! Chowdah! I just love our accent!



The night was wicked pissah! Good times with friends!

Last treatment

Hello all! Sorry for the long silence.

The last chemo treatment went very well, my red blood cells and hemoglobin levels were all fine. The nurse said that my body may be getting accustomed to the chemo, and so it's producing more red blood cells to compensate. The body is an amazing machine, it really is.

I have next week off, and then the following week, I will be seeing the doctor.

I have gotten an extension on my unemployment...another 33 weeks. Oh my. That would be like a whole year of unemployment. Hopefully, I'll have a job by then or something. I realized and admitted that I am not cut out to be a housewife. June Cleaver I am not.

Case in point. I made a birthday cake for Thom. You would think that being the daughter of an Italian mother who cooks like a pro, something would have worn off on me or something. No such luck. I made a 2-layered cake. Looked fine in the oven, but once I took it out, it sunk in and shrunk. I didn't have any cake pans, so I cooked them in 2 glass pie plates. When I put the 2 layers on top of each other, they looked like one layer! And it weighed about 10 lbs. It was more like pound cake than a nice cushy fluffy cake. Sigh. Thom was a good sport and ate a piece. When I told him that it was a 2-layer cake, he laughed out loud. He said he thought it was just one layer. LOL
