Home Run!

Today we went to an afternoon game and watched our Tampa Bay Rays beat the Yankees! The final was 5-2. It was a really good game!

My favorite player, Akinori Iwamura, hit a home run on his first at bat! Now wasn't that sweet... he must have known his #1 fan was in the stands. lol

I think this was my most enjoyable baseball game ever! The seats were wonderful. Someone that my hubby and the other couple know have these season tickets that we used. We were in the 4th row behind home plate so I could really see the players as they came up to bat. Have lots of photos to edit and put on Flickr over the weekend.

Because the seats were in the Whitney Bank Club we had access to the buffet and unlimited drinks. The turkey was delicious and moist... sometimes it doesn't agree with my pouch but this one did. And I had a couple of stir fried veggies, a piece of cheese, a slice of fresh pineapple and a strawberry. It was all yummy. This was before the game.

During the game, we had 2 rooms off by our seats that had more food. I picked some chicken out of a pasta dish to eat and a bit of salad. Everyone else enjoyed their food too. It was like being on a cruise with all the buffet food! Along with the traditional ballpark foods like hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, the buffet had fried chicken, wings, prime rib, feta/spinach ravioli with scallops and shrimp, steak fajitas, au gratin potatoes, lamb, a large display of raw veggies, fruits and cheeses. That's all I can remember until I look at the photos.

While in our seats, we could have food served to us too. They were constantly asking if we wanted anything. Towards the end of the game, the woman came around with cups of ice cream and then slices of cheesecake with chocolate or raspberry sauce over them.

Our seats were really comfy too! Didn't even hurt my tailbone like some chairs do since I've lost weight. The seats even have a plate on the front with the ticketholders names on them.

It was so very nice of these people to let us have their tickets today! I really did enjoy the afternoon and if I ever win the lottery, I'm buying season tickets there!!

Little Bit of Nothing

I don't know where the last week went but it seemed to fly by and my blog was ignored. Not that I really did anything exciting last week to write about.

Hubby was out of town for a few days and I took advantage of having nothing to do and I did nothing! Except read, crochet and play games on Pogo. I only left the house once to go to the post office.

Mother's Day was nice. We went out to breakfast and my aunt and uncle went with us. Dinner out on Mother's Day around here is so crowded and I just didn't feel like going out. Guess I was still in hibernation mode from last week. lol

This morning I went to the nursery near us and picked up a few plants for the yard. I bought a Sweet Potato Plant just so the wild bunnies who come around can have a special treat. So far I don't think they have found it. But I wasn't here by the window as much this afternoon to notice.

The afternoon has been spent drinking that really nasty stuff in preparation for a colonoscopy tomorrow morning. It's been awful. This is supposed to be low volume but it's still way too much for me to get down. I reminded them that I had a gastric bypass and this is supposed to be what I use but I struggled with it. And the taste is sickening sweet and salty lemon at the same time. Really gross tasting. Since my surgery things taste sweeter and saltier than usual so this is just not good. I will be so relieved to have this done and over with tomorrow. I'm glad it's early in the morning.

That's about it. I do have some photos I took last week of some of the plants in my garden but I'll post them another day here and on my Flickr.

Hope everyone had a more exciting week than me! Take care!
