Baseball Is Back!

Oh. Baseball. Welcome back <3

Tuesday was the San Diego Padres home opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, played hookie from school and headed downtown to the stadium around 11:00 for some tailgate action. It was a fun time…until I got sick. Martywiththeparty partied too hard.

Fireball for breakfast :]

There was a huge folding chair that someone at the tailgate next to us had. Super cool for photo ops!

A few of our friends cruised to the ball game in a limo…prom pictures!

I had to do quacks.

There's this rule in slow pitch softball where if you drop your drink, you have to do quacks...pretty much shaping your arms into wings, squat, and yell "quack", then rotating 90 degrees and do the same thing, rotating another 90 degrees doing the same thing, and rotating another 90 degrees and doin the same thing one last time until you have gone in a complete circle. I dropped my drink twice and got called out on it by the fellow in the photo below. Ugh.

Once the tailgate was over, Marcus and I headed to the stadium to catch the game. I drunkenly wandered solo for pretty much the first half of the game. All a blur. Which as funny as it is, isn't so funny...it was actually quite dangerous and could have ended badly. No more drinking for me in the foreseeable future!

By the 5th inning I made my way back to my friends and took a seat to catch the remainder of the game. 

View from our seats!

Padres ended up winning that game, 9-3! We barhopped a little around downtown meeting up with friends here and there. First place we stopped was Altitude which is the bar on top of the Marriott which is right across the stadium. They have such a sweet view of the ball park! 

Overall it was a great day, so glad to have my baseball back <3 If I was a good blogger, I would have typed this up the day after, instead of 3...but life is a little crazy. I went to another game last night that I can't wait to write about! I saw my first bench clearing brawl! Ahhhh! Checkcheck the blog on Monday for that :]

Have a great weekend everyone!

30 DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 12

Happy Veterans Day (observed) people! Yay for having a paid holiday! I spent the day babysitting my cousin, and she wanted to feed ducks! I tried to cheat and go to the "pond" [fountain] at City Hall/Grape Day Park but had no luck! We walked around the park for a bit and decided to pay a visit to the tile wall. 

It's a wall with tiles that kids decorated from all the different elementary schools in the city back in 1994. There's probably 1,000 tiles on the wall!

Below is my tile!

Day 12 – Something you are OCD about.

I'm OCD about EVERYTHING! I make myself crazy with my OCD. 

OCD Alert! Why is the butterfly outlined in black but the antennas (antennae?) and sun aren't?!! Anddd why are the wings two different colors?! Don't even get me started with the grass! Come on 3rd grade Marty, you should have known better!

Confession: My real name isn't Marty, It's Marisela :] But I've gone by Marty since like 4th grade.

The kid was still bugging about feeding ducks so we headed to Lake Hodges...not so much luck with the ducks, but a ton of birds flocked on over!

There were so many that it kind of got scary for a minute so we decided to chill and sit by the lake and wait for a majority to fly away.
