The Tradition Continues!
Okay, I'm about to pee my pants, I'm so excited!! Of course, those who know me well know that peeing my pants is a monthly (?) occurance, but anyway.
So, here's the set up: The University of Texas at Omaha has prevailed... they are headed into the NCAA Baseball College World Series best 2 of 3 Championship series. And GUESS WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE?!?! Yup, ME! And Baby Cuzzin of course. After much hand wringing about missing 2 days of work next week, I said WTF and got me a plane ticket to Lincoln Nebraska! (only 45 min from Omaha) I'm pretty sure I've never been in Nebraska. Maybe over it on my way to 'Sconsin... and this photo says it all. My mom used to go the CWS quite often, because her "special friend" lived near there. (Yeah, okay, her Sugar Daddy) These two photos show my mother at Omaha, Rosenblatt Stadium, circa 1985, and Baby Cuzzin & Me at a recent regional (prolly 2 or 3 years ago) playoff here in Austin. Notice the Texas flag in pretty much the same position in both photos? I'm pretty sure she's smiling down on us right now. And saying it's about freaking time. So WERD to my mama... let us please win in two games since I have to come home on Monday! And WERD to my husband, whom I don't believe I have seen for more than 20 minutes (awake) since some time in May.... I love you! And just think... this is really IT! No more baseball after this weekend. And only like 2 more months for your football! :-)
So, look for us on TV, ESPN Sat 6pm Central. We are sitting in the grandstands behind home plate... the 3rd grouping of seats IN THE SHADE. Sunday we don't know... we'll have to pray to the baseball gods for tickets that are decent. Otherwise, you may see us in the outfield at 2pm!!!
HOOK 'EM FREAKIN' HORNS!!!!!!!!!
Oh mah gawd, I can't stand it. I just can't stand it.
