let's go red sox (clap clap clapclapclap)

my parents took part in this Jordan's furniture promotion that will give them their mattress for free if the red sox make it all the way to the series.

on saturday night, my mom thought it was all over, and she was ready for her mattress...we had to tell her, "not yet, mom."

even though he didn't do much last night (i like to think he allowed the younguns to have some glory), i still love me some david ortiz. i found this video on youtube, and even though the interviewer's annoying, i am a sucker for a man in an apron, especially a man with an apron and a big smile who can actually cook (and well -- i was ready for those plaintains), ESPECIALLY a man with an apron and a big smile who can actually cook and hit homers in his sleep.

i just want to give him a big hug around his belly.

mouse update.

bought the humane traps. but then the mouse disappeared! rainster and i thought perhaps the downstairs neighbor's cat killed/ate it, but i guess i'll never know what happened to that brave little sucker.

also, made potato leek soup yesterday. YUM!
