I am not a sports fan. never have been. not even in high school. though i did like to watch the cross country runners in those little short with their sweaty bodys clingy tshirts.....ooooooo takes me back to before menopause and hot flashes were cause i had hormones instead of not having them like now!
anyways, i won tickets at work to a womens basket ball game at mohegan sun. my boyfriend is a sports freak. he played all during high school just bout any sports you name and won most of them. champion ship this and that from football to ping pong! i kid you not! so he was very happy that i won those tickets.
we went last night and had seats right in the middle of the court only 11 rows from the floor!!!!! it was awesome!
while i'mn not into sports I do enjoy watching live basektball. its a sport thats easy to keep track of for scoreing. if the ball goes in the net bingo they get some points! so its just a matter of keeping track of which color shirt is which team and who are we cheering for anyways? i'm just happy when anyone makes a basket but apparently your suppose to have a team favorite.
at half time they have dance groups come out and then cheerleaders come out then they have the team mascot come out and they all throw free shirts into the crowd!
what fun! we did not catch a shirt. the little brat behind us leaned forward to grab the only one that came towards us but he didn't get it the freak sitting 3 rows ahead of us did a jump that should get him into the next line up of team members.
I was thinking about how i want one of thseo free shirts so bad that i was willing to buy tickets to another game....HA!
it was fun our team won. they were the ones in the white shirts.
today i won more tickets to another sporting event. Lucky me! this one i'm not too thrilled with its baseball at dodd stadium in norwich.
the good part is that it is in the skybox. thats always fun. air conditioned so i don't have to sit in the sun that i hate especially now that connecticut has finally gotten heat in the 90's. the skybox also gives you free food! anotyher thing that the boyfriend likes!
i dont' care for baseball its hard to understand. people throwing balls trying to hit them they get so dirty running and sliding in the dirt. its boring and takes way to long to play.
but the other benefits out way the boring part.
did i mention that on friday nights they also do fireworks after???? i'm excited!
the past few weeks of thryoid drug has gotten me able to go out and do things again. i was so afriad to go anywhere that i'd get sick. now i'm feeling like myself again. i still get tired and need to rest and i still have minor episodes of the LBS but i am prepared with snacks.
i feel like i'm back in fighting mode.
not gonna let this crap get the best of me!
aren't drugs great?

Better living through chemistry, Pammy.  You always crack me up.  I'm so glad you had a good time at the game and it's great that you are getting out and about these days.

You reminded me of a time that The Man and I went t a Phoenix Suns basketball game.  Shaq O'Neal was playing and it was a great game.  Anyway, The Man often gets very good tickets to various sporting events.  The law firm that he is retained by gives him tickets, various businesses give him game tickets and they are always very good.  Sometimes, the tickets even come with a limo ride.  The Man always gives me first option to go with him, but usually I prefer that he go with his boys.  Anyway, this particular game we were sitting and waiting for the beer guy, the popcorn guy, the peanut guy, any guy to come and sell us something.  They'd walk back and forth below us, but never come up our way.  We'd yell down and they'd look up and then just walk away.  I was starting to think it was a race thing until The Man pointed out that nobody around us was getting any service and they were getting up to go get drinks themselves.   Neither of us really wanted any alcohol or something to eat, we were just miffed that we were being ignored.  Finally, 3/4 of the way through the game, I got up to go to the bathroom.  I turned around and right above my head...  I mean the row directly behind me... I mean so close I could have touched it...  was the private lounge.  Two full bars, sofas that overlooked the court, waitresses in short skirts, large screen TVs showing the game and security people to keep out people who didn't have the right tickets.  We had the right tickets.  We're not very sophisticated people and obviously don't understand how the upper class live.  How neither of us never turned around to see what was going on literally right behind our heads, I don't know. 

Pammy, keep enjoying yourself and having a good time.  Oh!  If you can ever get tickets to a farm team hockey game...  GO!  I have the best time at those.  At half time little kids take the ice.  It's really a neat small town type of event and everybody gets into it.
