Sox Rock

OMG, my White Sox are the AL Central champions and open the division series against the Red Sox today at The Cell. I'm so nauseous. I am by no means a cool and calm sports fan. Quite the opposite. I get way too into it, live and die with every pitch, every hit, every out, hence the nausea. The biting of the nails. The gnashing of the teeth. The swearing. I'm a spaz but I am helpless to be anything but. My father introduced me to the world of Chicago sports as a wee child. He has always been a passionate fan and since I learned at his knee, I know no other way. This was a man who as a high school football player played BOTH offense and defense. His team went undefeated all four years and I think he played every down. He gets as excited about a Tiger Woods' tee shot as he does a Brian Urlacher sack, a Greg Maddux pitch or a Paul Konerko homerun. And if nothing else, I am my father's daughter.

I'm at our downtown campus 3 out of 5 days this week which means I'm getting a brisk one mile walk in every morning from Union Station to school. That would be great if it weren't so hot and humid here this week. C'mon already! Is it October 4th or July 4th? We turned our air conditioning on Sunday night and it's still on. That being said, the temperature is supposed to plunge from a high of 81 on Wednesday to a mere high of 56 on Thursday. Typical.

The Lean Cuisine thing is going pretty well except for days like today when I walked out the door without my lunch. I've only had one meal that I didn't like, everything else was pretty decent. I know everyone complains about the amount of sodium in frozen dinners but for me, for now, it's an acceptable trade off.
