I've only met one girl from there ever. She was my room mate at a conference I attended in college and she was hilarious!!! (And she shared her clothes!) :)Mayhem And Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397378871900634542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-23003972249313553972007-04-23T13:38:00.000-04:002007-04-23T13:38:00.000-04:00Kayla is just so adorable.

I've been wanting to explain what you asked me in comments the other day and I would use e-mail, but I currently don't have any. Long story, but this is my husband's business computer so I don't want to leave his e-mail here where any unscrupulous lurker could use it. Anyway, I grew up a Rangers fan (lived in Dallas metro) and married a staunch Cardinal fan, so I've adopted them for the fun of family togetherness. The reason I poked fun at Boston also has to do with family. When I was a teenager, my dad went to live there for a year to obtain his graduate degree and having lived in the South our entire lives, we had this stereotypical view of "Yankees" (meaning anyone north of Tennesee - not the team) being sort of rude and arrogant. (Read: they didn't practice the rediculous art of thanking someone 37 different times for the same gift.) So Boston became our family joke because it had "stolen" our dad away. Plus he was forever telling us how rude the people were, which truth be known was probably just their reaction to his own crankiness at our family separation. Then when the OKC bombing happened, NYC firefighters and police came to help and we met a bunch of them one night at a restaurant. They couldn't have been more gracious. They showed us that "Yankees" (the team, whose gear many of them wore, and more importantly, the people who live up north) were lovely. That was about the same time Joe Torie was having many public family problems and handling them with much grace, so I guess I sort of took them on too in that way (but not against our beloved Cardinals, of course.) But I have to admit, it was a little exciting to see your team bring home the Series after so many years of incredible fan participation without that final trophy. There is no denying ya'll have REALLY GREAT fans! So that was why I teased you. That - and I am just so excited to meet another suburban SAHM who actually follows baseball. Where I live, that's hard to come by!! :)Mayhem And Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397378871900634542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-36953866699569481922007-04-23T13:27:00.000-04:002007-04-23T13:27:00.000-04:00Oh, the Mercy drop is so sweet--and so deserved. ...Oh, the Mercy drop is so sweet--and so deserved.
