Ever Get Run Over By A Sausage?

Living in St. Louis most of my life, I am a born and raised St. Louis Cardinals fan. No other city or club does baseball better than St. Louis. We may not have the best team every year but we have the second most World Series wins and a baseball enviroment you just can't beat. The Commissoner of Baseball was quoted saying that the prefect day in baseball is St. Louis in Opening Day. That should be enough said. The city shuts down and throws a party to welcome the Boys of Summer back.

Last nite while in Milwaukee one of our boys almost bite it. You have to understand that some baseball clubs have resorted to gimmicks to attract crowds, they can't just rely on the team and the love of the sport. And Milwaukee has sausage races. Yep, people dressed up as sausages racing on the track of the infield. Cute, nah, funny when you are drunk, possibly. :)

LaRue must have forgotten where he was when coming out of the dugout. Well, just watch the video to see the rest:



And you better have laughed, because that was funny!

If It Is Good Enough For Obama...

than I had to try it out.

I love pizza. It is one of my comfort foods. And living in St. Louis, I have a lot of kinds at my fingertips. Granted, I will say that nothing top New York style pizza in New York City itself, but there are some that come damn close.

So when a friend of mine called me up and asked me to go for pizza, she and I both knew I couldn't refuse. I had been wanting to try a pizza place out for awhile that Obama had raved about so much, he actually ordered pizza from this restaurant and had it delivered to the White House. Granted to say, being a Chicago politician, Chicago didn't take it all that well.

The place is Pi in the Delmar Loop. The best piece of advice that I can give you is get there about an hour before you want to eat. It is worth the wait, but that is exactly what you are going to be doing...waiting. It wasn't too bad though, only about 20 minutes for a table and than the deep dish takes about 25-35 minutes to get to your table.

I love that you can make your own pizza. I had the deep dish (amazing cornmeal crust) with mozzarella, gorgonzola, pepperoni and roasted garlic. Can you say yummy!! I also had the bada bing salad to start things off. The small was the perfect size to spilt between two people. I was afraid that is maybe too sweet, but it wasn't. The cheese gave it just that little tang that kept it from going over to the too sweet side. And I finished up with the vanilla bean ice cream. Can you say delicious! Everything was very reasonably priced as well. Two people with tip for under $50.

And I would like to mention that they had a nice selection or beer on tap. I had my first pint of Mothership Wit and think I have found my new fav beer!

I will be back again to try something new on my next deep dish!!!

Is There A Doctor In the House?

While I was out this weekend I was in the company of several doctors. For some reason, it was early in the morning, or late in the nite, whichever way you prefer to put it and the topic of SEX came up. Yep that is right, I am surronded by doctors and we are talking about sex, this never has a good outcome...EVER, especially when everyone is so trashed that the doctors are actually smoking! How is that ironic for ya?

So they asked me if I had ever been with a doctor. I was in a relationship for about six months with a pediatric heart specialist. It ended because dating a man like that was almost impossible at both stages of our lives. He was always at the hopsital or on call and it just wasn;t that fulfilling for me. So...back on topic. I told them that I had and while the sex was good it was never that GREAT. It had the makings of what could be great sex but just never went there for me.

I do have a theory on this one and it is good. The reason it is hard to have GREAT sex with a doctor is that they are too in tune not only with their own bodies but with yours as well. Mine never cut free and let it be about him at times I wanted/needed that. Isn't there a time where a woman just wants to please her man in the bedroom and can't a guy just lay back and enjoy it instead of worrying about you and your needs. Sigh. Yeah, I know, how horrible right? Well after the first couple of times it will get on your nerves, trust me.

So these doctors asked if I ever had the chance to date a doctor again would I. My simple answer to that is no. I don't want a man who is too in tune with my body like that ever again. That may sound weird but that is the whole reason that I would think long and hard before getting involved with a doctor ever again.

The Idea Of You

My boy Dave Matthews has an amazing song...The Idea Of You.

Have you ever fell hard for the idea of someone. Goodness, I know I have...several times and heck probably a couple times with the same person. How crazy is that. For those that know me, it is to be expected though.

I love the idea of people and what could be. Isn't it a fun ride to let your mind go on, just thinking about the what ifs and letting yourself get lost in it? What a fantasy, but that is truly what it is, only a fantasy, because those people can rarely be the idea of what you think of them. In those amazing cases though, they are simply more.

I had that happen to me the other day. I adored the idea of someone and I found out that they are much more than just the idea that I knew and came to cherish over the past years. Once I was hit with that realization it took me a couple moments to bounce back. I was so stunned that I was actually called out on it. I still remember how hot my face got when that happened.

The idea of everything made everything such a bold reality. Fuzzy lines became so sharp and crisp, these lines were hardly ever there before and here they were staring me right in the face. I could see every little detail that had been made obscure had a bright light shining upon it so that I could not only see and register it, but also remember it.

The Idea of this person was a lot better I must say. The idea let's us hold onto something that may not be ours and something that may not even truly exisit in the first place. Once you lose that idea you face the reality of a person and the reality is something to be cherished as well but it usually not what you think it is.

The idea is so much more romantic, thrilling, passionate, endearing...I could go on but won't.

So here is to the Idea of You and the reality that you are. Equally important and cherished always!

A Watched Pot Never Boils

Isn't the the damn truth! Plus you can never will someone to call you either. I hate having to wait on someone else to get back with me that is notorious on either getting back to me at the very last minute or not getting back to me at all.

Sigh.

Why do I even put up with this kind of behavior? Because I have a lot invested into this relationship and I don't give up that easy. Sad excuse isn't it? Maybe, maybe not.

I was suppose to hear something yesterday, but in classic style nothing. So I am hoping that I will hear something today, but I highly doubt it and me facing the truth, I know I will probably hear nothing. Good from afar but far from good. Although, they may shock the hell out of me as well, they have been known to do that as well.

Ever Have That Feeling That You Are Being Watched?

I love that someone posted an anonymous comment to my last blog. But with me being me I am now wondering who that person was. It will drive me crazy for about an hour or so than I will be off to the next thing.

Dancing the Nite Away

Last nite I went out for a happy hour that was indeed very happy. It was with a great group of people that I always have a great time with.

It had been a long time since I had been dancing. I mean sure, cut a little groove thing here and there in a random bar to whatever the jukebox has on but that is about it.

Last nite was something that I had needed in a long time, to be twirled on the dance floor while laughing so my cheeks were hurting. All while wearing 4 inch heels and not missing a beat or step with my partner.

So yeah, my feet are a little sore this morning (this probably has something to do with the heels) and my legs feel like I ran a 5k last nite but it was all well worth it.

At that point in time, life was damn near perfect. Don't you just love evenings like that?
