sox home opener

today's the 2008 sox home opener and i'm excited. why? several reasons.

first, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous today. yesterday was in the 50s and sunny (we actually did work in the yard and garage!) and just perfect for being outside. today is supposed to be similar, so i can't wait to watch some baseball in beautiful baseball weather.

second, we're continuing a tradition adam's family has had for many, many years: attending the home opener together. adam's gone every year he can remember, with the exception of one year, when security had an issue with my bag and i didn't want to leave it or go home by myself. but technically he WAS there. . . just didn't stay for the game. ; )

then, in a matter of speaking, this is baby's first home opener! weather will dictate how many future games he/she attends in the early years, but if next year is anything like this year, baby may just see 2009's opener too.

i've noticed i'm struggling a bit with the concept of "baby." gibson is my baby.

he's our baby. he's the little ray of sunshine that brightens up our day, and keeps us on our toes. he's always excited to see us come home, and alerts us to other people entering the house (though in no way, shape, or form a guard dog. . . he just gives a hearty "woof," stares in the general direction and that's about it). we even snuggle together on the couch and in bed, and he gets kisses right on the nose. lately, i think adam and i give gibson more kisses than we give each other, but i'm making an effort to even out the numbers a bit more. i'm not saying he's more important than the [human] baby on the way, but he's right up there in importance- i worry when he gets diarrhea; i nearly passed out in worry when he got away from me and nearly ran into the street; scarily, i can relate to the woman who bit the dog who bit her dog. . . not to say i'd necessarily do the same thing, but i can see where she's coming from.

so, anyways. to conserve benefit time, i'm at work a few hours before the game. back to work!!
