omg! How did I manage to get to 2:30 the next day without posting RED SOX WIN! WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS WOOHOO OMG ETC.!!!???

Well, here's the thing. I did stay awake for the game last night. Unfortunately, so did Ruthie...Well, she dozed on and off, but by the time the game ended I was worn out from trying to get her down. So I just fell into bed with her, without even scraping up the energy to post here.

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited! WOOHOO! etc.!! But well, I'm also exhausted. ;) And of course, one has to admit that it doesn't have quite the emotional resonance of a 2004. Heck, I barely even heard any cars honking on my street! There were one or two, but nothing like what it was three years ago.

Still, it's a thrill and I sure hope they'll schedule the parade for this weekend so we can all go. Also this morning I had to forcibly restrain myself from dropping $200 on World Series Champions shirts/sweatshirts for the three of us. (It helps that all the sweats they have are hoodies. I'm not a big hoodie fan. Still....)

Anyway, so yeah, that was awesome. I'm glad the Rockies did put up a fight in the second two games and at least made it interesting -- certainly in last night's game it started to look a lot like they might even win it. Of course, they were ultimately powerless against the juggernaut that is the Sox. But they put up a good fight and I hope they are very proud of themselves. Maybe next year, eh guys?

I'm also on the tail end of a big project at work that's due Wednesday, so no slacking off for me, alas. Gotta get back to it.
