i want the dome
target field is lovely. and cold. and wet. and standing room only.
since it was standing room only, i decided not to bring a jacket cuz i didn't want to have to carry it. the sky was blue.
then it turned blue and pouring and super-duper windy. i got soaked. especially my jeans. which were touching my feet. which were in flip-flops because after having not worn shoes in i don't know how long, and after earlier in the week not being able to tell, upon coming out of the shower, whether i was damp or sweaty because it was so hot, i didn't even think of shoes and socks. and so my feet almost froze off. it took until i got home from work and visiting the old lady i visit and i got my feet in some slippers today that they finally warmed up.
my poor mother gave me her jacket. i felt bad, since she had been the one smart enough to bring one, but she insisted she was fine with just a poncho to break the wind.
at the dome we would've been dry. we would've been warm. we all would've had seats.
oh how i miss those days.

i don't want the dome. i enjoy outdoor baseball. however, as this is minnesota, any genius could have figured out that a retractable roof would have been prudent.
and mom and broller both told you to switch shoes
and while mom is annoyingly, insistently self-sacrificing, it's kind of sad that the 63-year-old who brought a jacket had to do without.
she still insists she was fine, and i still feel guilty, but what can i do?
and they only told me to switch shoes cuz mom things my feet are going to get stepped on which is just silly.
and i do like outdoor baseball on a nice day.
thinks, not things
that's what i mean about her being annoyingly insistent. let someone else be the nice one once in awhile, mom!
:(
I lost my flip-flop on a ride after my SIL had been warning me all week about the dangers of wearing flip-flops on rides... if it makes you feel better at all.
