so exciting, Scrappy!
I have lots to still at work to catch up, but what do I want to do? SHOP FOR MY NEW HOUSE! Do I have money to spend? no. Do I even really need anything? no.
Thus far, I have resisted. I may break down later today and put up a shopping list for my mom of stuff to go get that we will need in the days that we are there before the movers come. Of course, that is 3 MONTHS AWAY, and focusing on this stuff now is RIDIC, but hello, I'm me and that's how I roll.
And if you're going to be thinking about it anyway, you might as well write it down.
TRUE FACT!
I AM ALL CAPS TODAY! RIO HAS TAKEN OVER MY PSYCHE! FUCKHEADS!
Oh, my god, if summer doesn't come soon I'm going to die.
I'm looking forward to seeing your episode, Scrappy!
As I'm in meeting rooms all day today, I'm wearing a nice t-shirt and a shawl over it. One room's hot, the next one's cold. I've resigned myself to creating my own temperate zone.

The Friendly and Very Expensive Confines
So what does it cost to witness 102 years of baseball futility? More than any other team.
That's right Cubs fans, your team hasn't won a World Series since 1908, but to see the 2010 edition will set you back $52.56 per seat at beautiful Wrigley Field, according to Team Market Report's annual Fan Cost Index. (And no, the price of admission doesn't guarantee a win.)
TMR, a Wilmette company, each year releases a price index that measures everything from parking to concessions to ticket costs and this year the North Siders top the list.
The average ticket in MLB costs $26.79, up just slightly from a year ago.
The report shows that the Cubbies had the second highest price increase -- up 10.1 percent for 2010.
eta: Of course, it's kinda' dumb to drive and park near Wrigley when there's a train station right next to it. Parking near Wrigley would run about $10-$12.
More than that I'd guess. But I can't imagine ever trying it out in practice.
