OK, I gotta write about something other than this 10 Day Challenge, at least briefly.
So yesterday's post was about 5 foods. Well ladies, I had 2 of those foods at the baseball game last night. We took my mom and my grandfather (my dad had a meeting - he's a football official) to see the local Minor League baseball team.
My company has sweet season tickets - 2 rows behind the visitors dugout. So we plan to get there at 5, because that's when the gates open for a 7 o'clock game - giving you 2 hours to stuff your face before the game starts (not my choice, but I was meeting hubby there and my mom drove because she needed a way home). Well, we get there at 5 only to find out that the game starts at 6 o'clock and it's a doubleheader. 2 games? Are you kidding me? I can barely tolerate 1 game. So we go to our seats. Shortly after the game starts, I see my mom and grandfather on the Jumbo-tron and start cracking up. Like for real laughing because they were the two people with the "deer in headlights" look on the jumbo-tron and I was lucky enough not to make the screen. My mom leaned over and told me that karma would get me back for laughing at her. No sooner did she say that then a foul ball bounced off the dugout and almost hit me in the head. Luckily I was able to lean out of the way in time (so an old guy behind me could get hit by the ball ... my bad), but I swear I bruised my rib on the arm rest of my seat. You win, Karma, you win.
I call hubby to see where he is. He's on his way, so I wait a little bit and head towards the gate to meet him so we can get food. On my way to get food, I run into this "kid" (not sure if he's a kid or an adult with developmental problems) that does this stupid dance at EVERY baseball game. He tries to get me dance. I am actually a very good dancer, but I refuse to do stupid ballpark dances. So I just turned around and walked another way. I met hubby and I had my chili cheese dog - although not nearly as "pretty" looking as the one in yesterday's post.
Then hubby decided he wanted nachos, and I wanted funnel cake. Why can I not find the yummy cheese sauce that ball parks use for nachos? I freaking LOVE that cheese sauce, and everything I buy in the grocery store tastes like crap compared to it.

| Why are these considered nachos? When I want nachos, I want chips COVERED in cheese, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, guac ... the works. |

| My funnel cake looked like this, except more powdered sugar. The lady in front of me (so glad it wasn't me) got one that was burned. |
So hubby had his nachos and I had my funnel cake. Half way through, we switched. My mom looked at me like I had 4 heads because I ate nachos after my funnel cake. Come on, it's not like I was going to give hubby the best parts of my funnel cake. :)
Four books. This is hard, very hard. I may cheat a little bit.
1. Harry Potter (first cheat). Yes, I realize this is a series of 7 books. I loved all of the books - preordered them and read them the day they came out (except for book 5, which was accidentally delivered the day before, so I had it finished before it "officially" came out). Super well written and just a good escape from the real world. If you've seen the movies, the books are 100x better because they had to cut out SO much!
2. The Mommy Diet by Alison Sweeney. I am not a mommy yet, but I hope to be soon. I have always been a fan of Days of Our Lives, and Sami Brady was one of my favorite characters, so when I saw she wrote a book, I had to get it. I got it for my ereader and read it in like a day. I bookmarked so many pages - either with workout tips/ideas (including pregnancy-safe ones for all you pregos out there!) and recipes. Really good.
3. Turn Me on Dead Man by Andru J. Reeve. No, it's not a dirty book. Its no secret that my favorite band is the Beatles and my favorite Beatle is Paul McCartney. This book addresses the "Paul is Dead" hoax that took place in the 60's that insinuated that Paul had died and they had hired a replacement, but the other Beatles were so distraught and upset about the "coverup" that they hit "clues" in later album covers. Very interesting reading. This was a "death hoax" before twitter and facebook tried killing off all of the celebs ...
4. sTORI telling, Mommywood, uncharted terriTORI - all by Tori Spelling. Growing up as a child of the 90's I LOVED Saved by the Bell (for those of you that don't know - shame on you! she played Screech's girlfriend, Violet Bickerstaff) and 90210. A few years ago, I
became obsessed with started watching her show on Oxygen, which was "Tori and Dean: Inn Love" at the time. Tori and Dean have such a sweet love story and have so much love for each other, so it's nice to read about love stories like that in Hollywood. As part of the series, she was writing her books, so I HAD to go out and get them (actually hubby got them for me as presents for whatever the closest holiday was), and I really loved reading about her because, contrary to what you may think, she is a very real person and is very open and honest. I love that about people.
