Hey What's Up Hello

Oh, hey there! I bet you weren't expecting to see me today... Since it's been a whopping six months since I've been a good blogger, I thought I should start again by introducing myself and giving a little spark notes version of what's been going on lately.

So, last we spoke, I'm sure I was talking about buying a house and surely about getting a puppy. That's really been the focus of my last few months. There are so many things I kind of knew about being a homeowner and so many other things I didn't realize would happen all at once after I moved in. 

Let me tell you, I knew what I was getting into getting a puppy, but I didn't realize what I was getting into with a puppy and no roommate. I feel like Albus has to be able to do whatever I'm going to do or else I feel guilty. I will be the first to admit that I am a helicopter momma with him. (PS Albus has his own instagram, clearly necessary to not overwhelm my friends with only puppy pictures. I'm pretty sure he will be more popular than me) I mean, just look at that face!

So! I'm back. I'm back to my bullet journal and all of the instagram hashtags. (PS, Elle & I decided the reason we dig bullet journals so much is because it kind of reminds you of passing notes in high school...) I have built out a plan for January (whaaaaaaat) but let me know if there's anything you want to see here this year! I can't wait to get back into everything. How has everyone else been?? What have I missed?

Can of Corn: Dream Roadtrip

Welcome back everyone, I'd like to thank you all for taking a break from Pokemon GO to read this post, it really is appreciated.... 

Okie dokie! I'm just the co-host, P.J. is the brains behind the operation, so here are the rules guidelines for Can of Corn!

• Write about baseball using the theme (or not) on the dates provided (or thereabout) from March-October. Just make it baseball!
• Use the button in your post somewhere (at the end or whatever) and link back to me + P.J. 
• Go to one of our blogs the day this comes up (or thereafter) and linkup! The linkup will be "live" for a week after the date.
• Visit other blogs, read, comment, and make some new baseball pals!

Today we're talking road trips! I'm about 5050 on road trips. Sometimes I really dig them, other times I'm literally the worst to take on them because I literally have to pee all the time. It's ridiculous. ANYWAYS. I'm going in the direction of dream baseball trip, first of all I'm going on a pretty legit trip next weekend: hitting Camden Yards, whatever the gNats call their ballpark, and there's even talk of a road trip to Pittsburgh.... So in one little trip I'm all but doubling how many parks I've been to ever!

I really would like to win the lottery and be able to take a summer and hit all of the parks in one trip, but you know I probably have the right amount of luck for that lotto ticket. I'd have to prioritize. My first stops would definitely be Fenway and Wrigley. Hands. Down. Next, I'd really like to see the Rockies and that terrifying sculpture in Miami just to say I'd been there. And Seattle, because. Seattle Grace. duh.

Where do you want to go on your baseball roadtrip? Wanna pick me up on the way? I promise to not drink any water before we get in the car. Pinky promise! 

Can of Corn: Promotions

I have a really funny story about how I was worried about officially posting something about my new house, then an hour after I instagrammed  a picture of my mailbox yesterday I got an email from the mortgage people. That's a story for the day after everything is actually official. (because now I'm extra superstitious.) Anyways, it's time for the Can of Corn linkup!

PROMOTIONS. Guys, that's what I miss most about my MiLB times. Yesterday facebook told me it had officially been too many years since we had a promotion for the Roller Derby + all dressed up like we were in the roller derby (my name was Delta SLAMMA' -- I still have the t-shirt) I also am a huge sucker for puns (see: me insisting on a May the 4th Be With You Star Wars night for every team I worked for)

I also really dig the promotions that incorporate a non-baseball activity into the day, like a pre-game 5K or post game concerts because then I can drag my non-baseball people to things with me, duh. 

What are your favorite promotions? Or even better what promotions would you like to see? you're welcome in advance, baseball folks.
