Three Things

I had three things to share with the world today and here they are:

The Sox

Honestly why does this team hate me so much. Why do they like to torment me! At one point over the glory days of summer they were 7.0 games up on the disaster of a baseball team, the New York Yankees. Now with only one and a half weeks to go in the season they are .5 (yeah that is right, a half) game up on the Evil Empire. I can't believe they are ready to break my heart again. Another Bucky "f-ing" Dent moment is about to happen to us. How much more can I take before I have a heart attack? I wake up every morning hoping that we didn't screw it up somehow (yes, NESN is blacked out for the most part up here) and that the Yankees did, but with only a week or so to go it looks like we might just go into the end of the season tied with a chance to blow it in the final series. Where is the final series? You guessed it...NEW YORK!

JOB
So the waiting and torment is over! I finally found a job. I am so pumped about it and am ready to get going. I am starting next week as the new Development and Grant Manager for the International Association for Organ Donation. I am very excited to get going in the position because there is so much room for growth and forward mobility. I mean you always love when you come into a job and they tell you that in five years if you aren't the Director of Development with 5 people under you then you have done something wrong. Also they were willing to pay me what I wanted and medical benefits were included. This is a great day over here let me tell you. And did I mention that I get my own office finally!

My Birthday
Last but not least is the fact that Friday is my birthday and yes I will be 26 years of age. I can't believe it. I always thought by 26 I would have a grand life in some big city. I would be married, of course, to Ben Affleck and be having his baby...ok, maybe I just want to be Jennifer Gardner? Anyway, I am asking everyone out there in the blogging world how they think I should spend my 26th birthday. I mean please keep in mind I am 4 years away from 30!

a) Party like a rock star by drinking as many beers as you can and go to a Tigers game with the boyfriend.
b) Go watch brother coach high school game and then go out to eat and drinks with the fam
c) Screw them all...go out by yourself and just get hammered!
Yes, sadly these are the only current choices I have for how to celebrate on Friday. I will be taking a poll through Thursday at 5pm. How sad has my life become? :)
