I'm finally back from the boring conference. I got to the hotel Monday night in b/w the 8th & 9th inning and went straight to the hotel bar instead of checking in to watch the rest of the game. I even watched Wilson pitch!! Then Cruz struck out and then I cried. I was/am so happy I can't even describe the feeling. It's better than when I found out I passed the bar. My cell was ringing like crazy and I was calling everyone like crazy, best day ever! The bartender even gave my a tumbler full of Patron for a shot price to celebrate. The downside is that I was in a hotel so when I finally went up to my room, it was limited cable, no CSN, no MLB Network, I was resigned to their local news and ESPN. I am not happy with ESPN b/c they have been so East Coast and no talking up the Giants, until last night after they won. The local news talked about it, but then they reported on the Kings opening night. Seriously!!! The Giants just won the World Series, who cares about b-ball?? But I watched ESPN all night, and watching the celebration at the mound only got better. Tried sleeping that night, but around 4:00 gave up trying, I was like a kid on X-mas eve. I was too excited to sleep and every time I thought/saw the celebration, I got the biggest grin on my face. Tuesday morning was driving around the nearby gas stations looking for all the papers, but only found the Sacto Bee, so I'm gonna go onine to see if I can order the SF Chronicle. As I was driving, I was listening to KNBR, their radio station, and they were interviewing Duane Kuiper, one of their commentators, and were replaying the various calls, and I seriously kept choking up every time I heard it. Even now, I say it, and it hasn't really sunk in, it's so surreal and I love it. I didn't think I would ever see a World Series, I thought I would be like the old people who are Cubs fans telling stories about how many times they came so close but couldn't finish it off.Now I have and can die a happy person. Couldn't go to the parade b/c of the boring conference and am not happy about that at all. But I called home and DVR'd it, so I can watch it over and over again. So I have all the paraphernalia that I will wear until it falls apart. The one downside of Monday night, is that the baseball season is now over and I have to wait until mid-February when camp opens and it starts over again. But what a h*ll of a way to end the season!!! And yes, I will be watching every game every time they replay it on MLB Network this winter.
Sorry I was rambling, I was hoping it would get all of my excitement out of me, but no, it hasn't, not even close. It's still like they won tonight. I don't need my b-day of X-mas this year. I'm good!!!
Anyways- Sara, thanks for the knew signature, I'll add it tomorrow!
