Spontaneous…that’s me…


Recently, I have lost my will to be spontaneous. I have to have things planned out and organized. I asked Joel to take me out of my comfort zone and make me do things that I would not normally do. Well he rose to the occasion. I get a call last Friday at work asking me what we were doing for the evening. I gave my usual answer..."I don't know...what do you want to do?" And he replies..."Let's go to a Mets game." I immediately panicked inside. The game was in 5 hours, we would need to eat, get gas in the car, figure out how to get there....and we did not even have tickets yet. BUT with all that said, we went!!!

It took us two hours to get to amazing Shea Stadium in wonderful Queens, NY (the word amazing was used for Joel). We got there 15 minutes before the game. I wanted to get there early enough to get our free Pedro shirt at the gate. So, God must have made extra shirts available at our gate to keep me going on this spontaneous thing. We actually got our shirts which definitley came in handy as a blanket for me in those windy nose bleed seats. :-)

We get there and walked all the way up to our section, which I think is the best section...tons of crazy cheap fans :-). When we got there we had to start walking higher up the stadium. We looked at each other and we said, "forget that." We plopped right down in the box seat section of the nose bleeds. The whole time I thought people were going to come and say that we were sitting in their seats...OR...even worse, security was going to walk by us and realize he did not seat us and then kick us out. The first four innings I was a nervous wreck...constantly asking Joel if security was coming towards us. Talk about getting out of my comfort zone! About the 5th inning I began to relax and enjoy myself while I was actually doing something that I don't like...breaking the rules! I'm turning into a rebel! AHHH (I feel like geek more and more these days) :-)

Done anything spontaneous lately?
