Back to the Grind

Today was opening day at Cellular Field. I didn't have tickets to the game, but I took a two hour lunch break to go tailgate. I work across the street, so it is really easy to wander over and meet up with the usual jokers. I hadn't seen most of these people since October, and it was fun to catch up. Plus Miller, Torri, and Ollie came so I got to talk to them too. It was hard to go back to work after that. I'll be going to the game Thursday, and I can't wait to get in there and see the new green seats. I feel like my enjoyment of baseball last summer will/already has become a full on obsession this summer.

I went to the grocery store tonight. Big party huh? I wanted to make pesto, but the stupid place was out of basil. I'm not sure it's in season yet, so I bought spinach instead. And guess what? It worked AND spinach is healthier! It felt really good to cook, then put the dishes in the dishwasher. I was also able to spread out my foodstuffs thanks to Nate helping me move my kitchen table into a more island-style space. Now I have extreme garlic breath and I love it.

Finally, my newest time waster is GoodReads. You on it? Add me because I'd love to see book recommendations. This past weekend I bought the scrabble dictionary (4th edition) and the only Tolstoy book I haven't read, The Resurrection. I'm also working on Devil in the White City and Wild Sheep Chase by Murakami. It feels good to read again, after that two month slog through The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.

And did I mention I'm so dorkishly happy my blog is back? Because I am.
