Lately

Pin It now! Summer 2012 has been fabulous.  My blogging about it, not so much.  Here's a condensed version of life lately.

Haircuts & Yankee Games

Pin It now! Last night we went to our first Yankee game of the season.  Ok, we were in the 400 section, but they were $5 seats and the view was still really good.  The highlight of the night was the food (it was 6-0 Kansas City in the second inning which was basically the story for the entire game): garlic fries, hot dogs, cracker jack and (watered down) beer.  Delicious and we were happy campers.

Have you ever seen that Mastercard commercial showing a family at a baseball game and Frank Sinatra's Summer Winds is playing in the background?  It always reminds me of going to games in-person and invokes such a wonderful feeling and how wonderful a day like that can be.

I finally got a haircut today too, and it's been way too long between cuts.  I went back to my old stylist, Jeffrey, in my old neighborhood.  I've been going to him for years, but after moving to Brooklyn, I thought it would be more convenient to find a place near my apartment.  Even though my old salon is now a little out of the way, I'm back for good.  Jeffrey is Cantonese, knows how to cut my Chinese hair and I always feel better once I leave the salon.  The lady I went to a couple of times in Wburg was ok, but she stunk of cigarettes and body odor.  Yeah, not a good combination when you're inches away from her for an hour at a time.  The haircut cost twice as much too so it was a no brainer.  Don't you feel wonderful after a new haircut?

Have a great weekend!  What are you up to?  (We have a wedding tomorrow and it's in Manhattan so no travelling - yay!)  Don't forget - the 9th Avenue Food Festival is this weekend.  Of course we're going!

Another Yankee game

Pin It now! hubby and i made it out to our second yankee game of the season.  our seats were great this time...well, relatively speaking.  they're $5 tickets, so for $5 tickets there were great.  we were in the first row of the 300 section.  i love going to a baseball game.  not only is a fabulous summer thing to do, i love the food!  tonight i found the garlic fries stand (all the way on the other side of the stadium from where we were sitting!) and the kosher stand with the knishes.  if you haven't had the garlic fries yet, go get them!  you can't go wrong with fries smothered in garlic.  we still didn't make it on the jumbotron or catch a ball.  maybe next time.

First Yankee Game of the Season!

Pin It now!

one of the first dates hubby and i went on was to a yankee game. then we got a the $5 per game nosebleed seats for a couple of seasons. last year, probably because the stadium was brand new, we couldn't get affordable seats and didn't go to any games at all. yay for $5 seat tickets again! on thursday, hubby and i went to the new yankee stadium for our first game there. the new stadium is fabulous. we were in the 300 section and there are ledges all along the top of the section where you can stand and eat and drink. it's much more open with a lot more room to walk and there are so many more concession stands.

i was hoping i would get on the jumbo tron. i want to cross one thing off my bucket list! i can't wait - we have 3 more games!
