To tell of sunny hours.

[jessipsaloquitur]

Today was made of sunshine and baseball and margaritas and ice cream! In other words, it was an awesome day!!! My Aunt H and I headed downtown late this morning to see the noon D'backs/Cubs game. I love afternoon games. It feels as if I'm playing hooky on life when I'm at a ball game during working hours, even though I'm technically on vacation this week. Illicit baseball FTW!

It was a gorgeous day too; sunny and warm and PERFECT and the roof on Chase Field was open to all the loveliness outside (thank goodness for sunscreen and baseball caps, though!).

Doug Davis pitched seven great innings, holding the Cubs to just two hits and no runs. A combination of the Cubs being a mess and the D'backs finally remembering that an offensive game is helpful to getting the W, resulted in a 10-0 win. Yay! \o/ It was a fun game to watch, plus the Cubs fans sitting near us were hilariously drunk without being obnoxious. So we were well entertained!

And then this evening we went to Baskin Robbins for $0.31 scoops of ice cream. It was a fundraiser event for local firefighter organizations, so in addition to yummy ice cream there were also lots of yummy lookin' firefighters around! Double win!!!

In all, this was a most excellent Wednesday! *g*

Um. Your use of CoJack pictures has struck me dead. The first one in particular.. Um. Thank you. <3

There is certainly *ahem* a lot to love about that picture. *g*

I have always wondered. Is your icon from the Byrnesie/CoJack Fry's shopping trip? That clip is hilarious love.

[cinderlily.livejournal.com]

Yup. :) It was what set me up for them as my OTP. As I had this geeky crush on Byrnes and Timm pointed out he had a show and the first episode I watched had him and Conor Jackson fighting like a married couple and going grocery shopping. I was like, "this isn't real." And then it WAS. And then like a week later we beat the Cubs and CoJack and Byrnes had the most epic hug known to man and I was a total goner. ;)

Mmm...Tony & Conor & Chris....

I miss Brian. My Braves miss Brian.

Those are a whole lotta hot baseball players.


What's the latest on Brian? Did they figure out the eye thing? He needs to be back SOOOOOON!

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Brian's on the DL until May 8th. He's been doing some rehab with the AA club in Myrtle Beach & has been fitted with new contacts. *crosses fingers*

No Justin Upton? :P

Glad you had a nice day :) Afternoon games are a wonderful thing.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

I never could get a good shot of Justin or Chris Young. :(

It WAS a lovely day though!

I love the one where Mark's looking right at the camera =) lol
boy needs a shave, doesn't he?

[cinderlily.livejournal.com]

AGREED. Come on, Marky. We aren't in the playoffs and you look like a crazy mountain man. It is disturbing, you are FAR TOO PRETTY to look like that.

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

He is looking a bit scruffy. But he's doing better at the plate. So if he needs the facial hair to put on good at bats, I'm ok with it! :)

Hot baseball dudes, ice cream and firefighters? Dang girl, that's a damn near perfect day! Glad to hear the vacation is being put to good use. *mwah*

[moonmelody.livejournal.com]

It was definitely a good day! And today has been a complete laze-fest together with a 2 hour afternoon nap! THIS is what I call a vacation! :)
