I’m kind of sad today – my Atlanta Braves took a September nosedive & their season ended last night. The
BUT, today is Thankful Thursday so I will try to make lemonade out of these here lemons.
• I’m thankful that I have several teams to pull for during post season baseball. They might not be my team, but they’re worthy. Namely, the teams playing against the Yankees and the Cardinals.
• I’m extra thankful that I decided to work last Friday after all & I’m taking tomorrow off instead.
• Tomorrow is the Big Hair Day. The day I get my hair cut, not the day I wear big hair. Although who knows how my hairdresser will style it – it could be big hair. Boy, this is a very boring bullet point. STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR HAIR!
• I’m thankful that I only had to manage my cane, all the multitudinous bags I carry and an umbrella one day this week.
OK, I’m still kind of sad about the Braves, but I like my lemonade a little on the tart side anyway. What are you thankful for today?
good luck on the hair day! nothing makes you feel so beautiful as a good day at the hair salon!
ReplyDeleteHair! (read my tt post). And you. Always.
ReplyDeleteWatch it, little Ms. Bug ... you're talking to a household of Yankees and Cardinals fans!
ReplyDeleteNext year. Can't wait to see the new hairdo!
The Arizona Diamondbacks - back 10 years after their FIRST World Series win against the despised New York Yankees. We appreciate your support.
ReplyDeletehope the big hair day is a good hair day.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful I'm alive cause my neighbor isn't.
Beth - that is so true! It's good to see you on here.
ReplyDeleteAnne - I'm thankful for you too.
Oh Helen I thought I LIKED you. Sigh. :)
Cat - I might very well pull for Arizona - you never know!
Ellen - I'm glad you're alive too.
Well, HELLO? The natural enemy of the St. Louis Cardinal is the Detroit Tiger. We're on a roll now, so if you like, I can send you a Big D t-shirt to put you in the mood and assuage your loss to those dastardly Cards.
ReplyDeleteYou should start with singing this song:
ReplyDeleteWe're all behind our baseball team; go get 'em Tigers.
LOL - I would wear it with pride Rudee - at least until next season :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that the weather was just glorious today and I was able to share a meal with two good friends.
ReplyDeleteI have rubbish hair so I keep it short. I once grew it and had it styled. My piano teacher saw it and said he thought I must be having chemo to wear a wig like that. So short, it stays.
This is why I am so glad that I stopped being a sports fan. It is too emotional and heartbreaking. I haven't watched any baseball since 2005 when we lost to Houston. I do however have one team that I really dislike and that is the Red Sox. So I am thrilled that they are out this year. Why do people hate the Cardinals? Just curious....

ReplyDeleteI, for one, don't hate the Cardinals as a franchise, and I think they have some of the best fans in baseball, as well as a rich history. I do hate their manager with a passion, and in as much as his attitude trickles down to some of their players, yes, there is dislike there, too. But, again, they have awesome fans and a great tradition.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful yesterday and today for my friend Argent, and for my friend CC who moved away - both of whom got me writing again
ReplyDeleteThanks Dr. M. I know we have our "rivals". The Cubs and Red Sox. So I shouldnt be surprised that other fans don't like us. I am not a fan of Tony's either. Really liked Whitey though
ReplyDeleteSome of my best friends are Cardinals fans, Brenda :-) Also, most of them don't particularly like Tony, or even loath him. He's that kind of personality. You have such a wonderful tradition, though! Stan the Man? What an awesome player he was, and what a beautiful human being he remains.
