MLS All-Star Updates

Today is my last day getting to be a very important person in the world of Major League Soccer. The actual All-Star game is this evening and the weather is supposed to be perfect for it.  So far, Brad and I have gotten to hit up two parties and attend a taping of the Men In Blazers podcast. Not to mention stay in a pretttttty nice hotel in downtown Portland which makes getting to and from very important people places quite convenient. I wanted to share a few things I have learned so far in the world of All-Star.

//I am taller than a lot of male soccer players.

//They will still flirt with you even if you are taller than them.

//My feet are not conditioned to wear tall wedges two nights in a row.

//I am also taller than Brad when I wear wedges. Then again he too was a soccer player...

//That was a lot of talls just used. 

//Pro Athletes are much better at staying up late than I am.

//2 am is a horrible time to fall asleep on a week night when you have to be up at 5:30 the next morning.

//Staying up late 3 nights in a row might be the most horrible thing I could do to my body, but here goes nothing! 

//The world of pro soccer in the US is quite small. Everyone knows everyone, including Brad since he used to work for DC United.

//Hotel robes will forever be a favorite.


//The Men In Blazers are super entertaining and funny, even if I don't know the majority of soccer players they are talking about.

//If you make nice with the chef at Grassa that is rolling out the fresh pasta he will give you pasta dough to nibble on just because.

 Definitely took a creeper pic of him when he wasn't looking!

//Cold War Kids put on a better read: less weird free concert than The Flaming Lips.

//I really like this photo below even though it's grainy as furk. 

//If you yell from your car to the nice construction worker at 6 am to grab the coffee you left on the smart park pay station, he will be confused but will bring you your almost 5 dollar coffee you just purchased and  left sitting there after you paid for your parking. 

//Portland will always be my happy place. 

//I will be ready to go to bed at 5pm on Thursday night.

Cheers to soccer!

a case of the humpdays

My boss is not in the office today. I feel like I am all of the sudden coming down with a case of the humpdays and need to leave. The only thing that will make me feel better is not being at work. *cough cough* But no really, where is my summer break?! Why is that still not a thing in my life? I should have become a teacher like the rest of my family. Can I retire yet? Bradley, why are you not a millionaire?! Get on that already, would you! I don't think I am asking too much here. I just want to be a stay at home girlfriend and you're ruining everything. 

Anyway, that rant got out of hand quickly. It's Wednesday so you know what that means, today we confess our sins with Kathy. 

//I confess: I am pimping myself out and want you to go read the guest post I did over at Rebecca's blog Getting To The Show! I am funny and witty and lovable and share a workout! Soooo, I mean, why wouldn't you go read it?!?!?!   

//I confess: I am really happy track is done. I know that makes me sound like a bad coach, but I am so happy to do nothing with my weekend and not have to drive to practice during the week. Hooooray free time for doing things like taking my pants off and sitting on the couch when I get home. 

//I confess: I suck at trivia. BUT I did know all 4 chambers of the heart last night. Thank you studying for my Personal Training certification. 

//I confess: I feel like I am in a blogger rut. I just don't know what to write about on non-linkup days. 

//I confess: I almost just spilled coconut milk everywhere in the office kitchen area because I had just put lotion on my hands right before I went to pour it into my coffee. everywhere.

//I confess: I had wood oven baked pizza last night, even though I knew the cheese would give me a stomach ache. I also shared cake after the pizza. Then I immediately felt guilty for eating the bad food, I need to get my life figured out. Either have the bad food and enjoy it on occasion or just pass on it.... BUT I HAD TO DO IT FOR THE LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA SOCIETY FUNDRAISER!  Don't mind me, just curing cancer one slice at a time over here. 

//I confess: sometimes I wish I had more self control ^ see above. 

//Speaking of self control: Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale. Oh baby, I shouldn't even open this link. 

//I confess: I told Brad I was going to get up early twice this week to do yoga before work. That has yet to happen. I only have two more chances before the weekend.... I'll let you know how this goes Friday. 

//I confess: I have been on a Matt Corby binge the past few days. His voice is just so gritty and pretty. 

Anyway, for having nothing to blog about or confess, I sure rambled on for far too long. 

Cheers to confessing.
