Well friends, the Big Move is getting closer... 2 weeks from today and we will be on our way down to Texas! This also means that my days at work are winding down. I can't believe I only have 6 days left! I always thought I would be so happy to give up the "corporate world" for this baseball lifestyle, but honestly it's one of the hardest decisions I had to make. cardigan
I can't imagine life without my job and the people in it. As much as I complain about getting up at 6am every morning (okay... 6:30 after I snooze a few times), I don't know what I will do without this structure and routine I have made for myself! I have gotten so used to being busy and constantly thinking about my job that I have developed such an attachment to it. I genuinely care about the work I do and the people I support. I will always hold this team very close to my heart!
Although I am still not sure what this lifestyle change will bring for my career, I am definitely going to take some "me" time once we get to Texas to figure it all out. I'm thinking two weeks will be perfect :) If you know me at all, you will know that I will probably be going crazy after just one!

Aso it begins...
The 2012 baseball season is officially underway. The first spring training game was last Sunday - of course I am not with B right now so I can only listen to the games on the radio. I bough the MLB app for $14 or so and I love it! I get full coverage of every game right on my phone. The games come on around 2 or 3 East Coast time, so I can stream the game from my phone towards the end of the day at work and finish up listening on my long drive home. B has been doing really great so far! He has yet to start a game, but has played the last 4 games in a row - getting a handful of RBIs, a couple hits, and even a walk!
I have been so used to seeing him in orange and black that this new uniform always catches me a little off guard. But I LOVE it. Blue really looks great on him :) I am so happy he is doing well with this new team. He really loves the atmosphere in the club house and everyone has a very positive and motivated attitude. All good things-- that's what I tell him!
I wish I was out in AZ to enjoy the sun and the games, but for now I will have to settle for my iPhone and google images to get a glimpse of my honey in his new blue outfit :)

Hello weekend, I've missed you.
Happy Saturday!
It feels like forever since I have been home on a Saturday. The last two were spent in Arizona, and the one before that... well it's still early so my brain can't remember that far back right now.
Tex allowed me to sleep in until 8 this morning (he usually starts gets hungry for breakfast starting around 6am) so that was a bonus. Since I was already up and the house was clean I decided to hit the gym (something I really need to start doing more of). I always give myself a little pep talk before I go to the gym. Am I the only person who does this? Humor me...
I have trouble "fitting in" at the gym, I always have ever since I started going in college. Maybe because I am not very athletic and I feel like they can tell. Who are "they"? You know, those everyday gym people who walk around like they own the place. Oh how I wish I had their confidence! But sadly... I am uncoordinated and extremely unfamiliar with just about every aspect of the gym. I usually stay glued to the cardio section for the post part, then mosey on over the the aerobics section so I can do abs shoved in the corner of the room so no one can see me. Anyways, my usual pep talked worked a little today. I told myself, "Lindsey, you can do this. You can walk over the weights section to do squats. No one will even notice you. You will totally blend in. You will totally look like you know exactly what you're doing. Everything will be fine. You know you want your hammys to look good since you probably are wearing a dress tonight." Or at least something like that. I quickly did my squats and got out of there! Mission accomplished. B would be so proud because he was the one who taught me to do these certain type of squats where you actually sit when you go down before you rise back up. IT BURNS!! But it feels good. I have a little swagger in my step right now when I walk. Not due to coolness of course but rather soreness. Hey, at least I did it! Boom.
Tonight I am going to an engagement party for one of my friends I went to high school with. I am so excited to see my girlfriends! Plus I am getting a ride to and back which means I will be consuming some wine and feeling good in my dress and nicely toned (a girl can dream) hamstrings.
Enjoy your weekend!
