NYC taxi cab yellow, Yankee's & the lake

Hello & how was your weekend?? are they getting shorter or is it just me?? lol

Why is it that when you have a fabulous fabulous weekend Sunday night rolls around awfully quick doesn't it??

I really had nothing planned for this weekend except trying to convince my monster J of this idea I have for her bedroom she want's a NYC theme so a couple of weeks ago I ran out and purchased a quart of NYC yellow taxi cab paint at Walmart and I have this idea of painting a stripe (or maybe chevron stripes) around her already some kind of turquoise room (not my choice of base color I let her paint the room when we first moved in and the girl likes color smh so not like her momma) lol well as of yet she is still not on board with my vision so  I have started on the accessories in hopes once she see's them done she will see my logic

 

And as I was taking a lil painting break and trolling FB I saw one of my grammar school friends was looking to get rid of Yankee tix for that day OMG Boston vs Yankee's 

so I text him and he says oh Angie from Lafayette{this is what he calls me lol every time he see's me we went to HS together as well but he always calls me by our grammar school name almost as if that's my last name I swear he has me listed as that in his cell phone lol) I'll give you a great deal and I 'll bring them over to you now we had 2 hrs before the game
this is how close we sat UN FREEKIN BELIEVABLE THE MOST AMAZING SEATS EVA...

The guy next to me told me he paid $500 bux a seat I didn't have the heart to tell him I got hooked up for 10% of his price did I already say my grammar school friend ROCKS!!! {Roy in case you eva see this YOU KNOW YOU ROCK!! LOL}

j & I sat in row 2 which is row 1 as there is no row 1 

AMAZING!!!
