Last Saturday (August 31st) we went to a Milwaukee Brewers game with my stepson and sister in law. We got seats only one section from where we sat last time we attended a game, in the same row. We’re creatures of habit, I guess. Between the tickets and parking the outing was $58, not including food. The Brewers were giving out $10 food vouchers to every fan, however, so we didn’t spend much out of pocket after using them. One of the things I look forward to most there is the vanilla and sugar-covered roasted nuts they sell. It’s $7 for a large combo (cashews, pecans, and almonds), but they are well worth it. I also had a cheddar burger which, while not really worth the $6.50 price tag, was pretty decent. This couple accused us of being in their seats shortly after we first sat down, which was funny. They were very nice about it, but they insisted that we had all been sold duplicate tickets until I spotted the section # on their tickets and pointed out it was 425, not 426 like they insisted. I even asked them if they were sure and the lady glanced at her ticket and pointed to the section and said, “it says 426” to which I replied, “actually, it says 425”. They were pretty embarrassed. I would be too! Then again, I’d probably check my own ticket ten times and make sure I was in the section mentioned on the ticket before I told some people they were in my seat.
Sunday we visited my parents to celebrate Labor Day since on the actual day we started a mini renovation of the master bathroom. To save money we’re using leftover tile from the kids’ bathroom renovation for our floor and a new lighting fixture and towel bars we had purchased years ago. We’re not replacing the tub, sink, or counter for now. The only thing we had to buy was paint and it was an ordeal like always. I really hate picking out paint colors because whenever I try to get something light beige I end up with some barbie-doll-looking color. The color itself looks ok in natural light, but not under the lighting in the actual bathroom! It has a pink hue to it which I hate, but we don’t want to spend any more money right now so we will have to adjust to it for the time-being. The grout on the floor is currently drying, then Joe has to install the towel bars and reinstall the toilet. Once done I will post pictures. I’m just happy this renovation is taking less than two weeks unlike the previous bathroom re-hauls!
