National Tequila Day

Thirsty Thursday! I’ve been wanting to link up for a few weeks now, but never had anything cool to blog about for this…until yesterday.

Did you celebrate? I sure did!

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to blog about drinks you make, but I'm not gonna. The ones at the bar were cool enough to blog about!

A while ago, a friend of mine posted about the bomb.com margarita at Anejo that is tamarindo flavored and garnished with tamarindo Mexican candy and I’ve been wanting to try it forever sooo tequila day was the perfect opportunity. Tamarindo is kind of a fruit thing that is used for a lot of Mexican candy, I don’t really know how to describe it so check out the wiki page to learn more :]

The marg was good, a little sweet for my taste…which is kind of saying a lot because I love sweet drinks.

We followed up the drinks with a couple of Patron shots, because why not?

Bleghhhh. I can’t remember the last time I had a tequila shot.

The closer of the night was a jalapeno margarita.

I am legit one of the worst Mexicans ever because I can’t do spicy stuff. Some crushed red pepper, sure. A little Tapatio, okay. Red sauce from the Mexican food places for burritos and rolled tacos, down. Anything more than that, nope. So choosing a jalapeno margarita was a little bold for me.

It seems like it was just a house lime margarita with cut up jalapenos in there to add some flavor and INTIMIDATION. Besides the jalapenos floating in there…so were the seeds! And everyone knows the seeds are what gives the jalapenos their spiciness. I kind of had to be careful when drinking it, I was scared a piece of jalapeno would come up through the straw, I’d chew on it, and then die.

It was good…this one was a little sweet too, but it was cool to try it out!

No hangover this morning, but it was hard getting out of bed and going to work.

Norwegia At The Ballpark

First and foremost...I need to pimp out my blog. I guess google reader is going to be donezo July 1st and bloglovin' is the hot new thing sooOoOOo follow me on bloglovin'!

My friend Linda is a Norwegian native who I met her 8 years ago when she was an exchange student at my high school senior year! She's been in town for like 2 weeks but Tuesday night was the first (and only, whomp) chance we'd have to get together. The original plans were to go out to dinner but they changed to a Padres game with Caroline at the last minute! 

My first beautiful crazy life (or whatever it's called) edit on IG!

I took her to a game back in 2006 when she was an exchange student and sat in the nosebleeds...pretty much the worst seats the stadium had to offer. Thanks "high school senior without a job" budget!

This time around we sat in my regular season seats and one of the first things she said was  that "we're pretty much on the field!" Movin' on up :] She was surprised that we were so close to the players in the bullpen too! 

We skipped the traditional hot dog & beer because she made it clear that she does not want a hot dog or like beer! I wanted pizza, so we walked half way around the stadium to grab my food hoping she'd see something that she'd want but instead followed suit with a slice as well! She works at a pizza place back in Norwegia and although it wasn't as great as hers...it was good. I'm gonna have to head over to Norway eventually because Filippi's is the best we've got to offer and I love a good pizza!

Once we had food and drinks, we sat down and enjoyed the game. Linda snapped tons of pictures, Caroline got her a ball, and the Padres were kind of playing suckball. We headed to bar in the Western Metal Supply Building in the 6th, ran into Poppa V., had a Cactus Cooler shooter, learned about the kind of drinks she orders in Norway (I don't know what it was called officially but it sounded like alkaseltzerfuckshit) and grabbed her a Kamikaze for the rest of the game.

Total baseball taboo...we missed the 7th inning stretch because we were chatting it up at the bar. Whoops. We made it back end of the game, the Padres almost made a comeback in the bottom of the 9th but no dice on a win, so the stupid Phillies took the series.

As always, there was traffic after the game so we cruised to Bub's to have a drink...

Caroline and I asked her questions about Norway, what the bar scene was like, did she go out dancing a lot, etc. She asked how many bars we've been to downtown and Caroline and I tried to count...but couldn't nail down a number. We guessed 15-20. Then it was time to head back home. Whomp.

Linda's IG recap of the game!

Linda is actually headed back to the land of vikings today so I'm glad I got to hang out with her for a few hours while she was here and got to share my love of baseball with her again <3 Hopefully she enjoyed herself :]  

As always [every Friday at least]...this post was brought to you by Sarah over at Venus Trapped in Mars with her Fan friday link up!

All of my link-ups for fan Friday have been the same lame thing about me attending ball games (not that lame though because baseball rocks!) so I'm gonna try and change it up next week!

Aaaaand again...follow me on bloglovin'!

Back Home

My last game at Petco Park was 31days ago. I went back home yesterday!

:]

A Dodgers series guarantees a great time…mostly a hostile atmosphere between the teams and fans! I finally got to see the Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig and the dude has a freaking rocket for an arm...that might burn out in about 5 years if he keeps throwing from right field to 3rd base without hitting his cutoff!

The Padres had some super sweet plays too!

I jumped up so fast to cheer for Amarista that I got crazy light headed and had to grab onto the seat in front of me so I didn’t fall over.   

Didn’t take many pictures tonight, so I took a screenshot from Carolines instagram video.

Most importantly, THE PADRES WON! This puts us in 3rd place, 2.5 games out of 1st!

Fan Friday with Venus. Check it. 

Insta-dump: February

With 6 classes and a full time-ish job…life hasn’t been very blog worthy so I was sitting here this morning wondering what I’d entertain my readers with. I recalled a while back my friend Kelley over at Team Gilster used to do insta-dumps…not sure if that’s what she called it but pretty much blogged about a few of her instagram photos. Stealing the idea!

1.    I shared this one on #throwbackthursday. I have a handful of favorite pictures from my childhood. This is one of them. It’s me doing a jog-a-thon thing where people pledge money per lap. I was in probably 1^st or 2^nd grade when this photo was taken. It kind of made me nostalgic and I definitely shed a few tears thinking about the good ol’ days when I had no worries.

2.    Another #tbt photo! Me and my cousin Jazmin chopping up some meat…looks like menudo and probably on a Saturday since I’m wearing a soccer uniform. Unless it’s Sunday [when most Mexicans cook up menudo] and I just slept in my uniform from the day before. This is kind of a mind bottling picture since my cousin and I have grown a lot since this photo! She just had her first baby girl in December…while still being a baby herself. Crazy how sometime’s we’re forced to grow up!

3.    String cheese trivia! Lol. It was for lunch the other day and reminded me of the laffy taffy’s and ice cream bars with jokes. The answer is 5. Shout-out to my black and blue/teal polka dot nails. It's not exactly from Pinterest, but Pinterest has inspired me to be a little more creative with my nails :]

4.    National Pancake Day. My favorite holiday! Ihop was giving away free short stacks with a recommended donation to Rady Children’s Hospital. Good cause!

5.    Bettis. Lime. Marty. Super Bowl Sunday with some of my favorites <3 Thank you Palomar Softball for introducing me to some of my best friends.

6.    Commencement details! Graduation. Graduation. GRADUATION! Finally.

7.    Ultimate Baseball Roadtrip. A late Christmas present, but probably my most favorite <3 My baseball road trip is next summer and I can’t wait. My OCD self LOVES this so I’m not aimlessly wandering cities I’ve never been to! Reading this has to take a back seat to school right now, but I can’t wait to crack it open! Shout-out to my purple and pink ombre nails! 

8.    Alicia Keys tickets :] I can’t wait for this concert. Miguel & Alicia Keys. Although I love Country music, I can enjoy some hip-hop and R&B. Alicia Keys happens to be one of my favorites! Her skills on the piano are brilliant! I’ve actually never been to a real R&B/Hip Hop concert. I usually stick to country shows which is pretty much an alllll day event. It’s going to be weird not tailgating all day and being plastered before it even starts…that’s a good thing though, I don’t want to miss this show. Haha.

9.    My not so fitted sheet. It’s making me crazy. It comes undone every.single.night for like the last 3 months. Ugggh.  

10.  I’ve been craving chocolate covered strawberries for like the last 2 months. I missed out at work one day because I was at school. It was all I could think about when I found out. I had strawberries in my lunch so I improvised. I walked to the market next door, grabbed a dark chocolate dove bar, microwaved it and dipped my strawberries. Not the best, but still pretty good!
