I always think “when this is over, I’ll have so much free time.”
And then the next thing happens.
It’s a good thing. Â Truth be told, I love being busy.
Vegas got the best birthday present ever this year – season tickets to the Padres. Â She basically has the best wife ever. Â Ahem.
This Opening Day was especially exciting to me because one of my clients, Joshua Jericho, was debuting his new single! Â It was really cool to see him play for so many people.
He totally rocked it!!! Â Click here to check him out.
Too bad the Padres lost 0-15. Â And then UNC lost. Â Boo hiss.
Here’s my busy day of eats.  Read on and link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby at the bottom!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by the matcha sludge.
Then we had a egg white and oat concoction that I was going to post the recipe to today until I got too busy. Â Friday!
Snack 1:
I managed to sneak in a workout before running out to the event.  My favorite protein smoothie bowl – Chocolate-Beet – minus the spinach and tofu, and plus some purple sweet potato.  Topped with pretzels and cacao nibs.
Snack 2:
After the first performance (he had two spots), I treated myself to an Aperol Spritz and a little snack at my favorite restaurant by the park. Â And some air conditioning – it got HOT!

Dinner:
Dollar taco night at the game – by far the cheapest food ever made available at a baseball stadium.  And totally unpictured because I had to wait in line for 4 $1 teeny tiny tacos.  Plus 2 Jack and diets.

Joshua’s next performance is Saturday… it’s free… check it out if you’re in San Diego!!!
Are you a baseball fan?
What’s your favorite ballpark food?
So much fun I see here! Dollar taco night is something I can get behind. Sometimes I like tiny because then I feel like I’m having more. I make my cookies tiny so I can have like, 6, without feeling nauseous. Makes sense to me 😉
I totally get it – I even break protein bars into pieces to eat it more slowly!
Adam just took Drew to a baseball game yesterday and he was all about the blue cotton candy lol 🙂 I always think that I’ll be relaxed and have free time after a certain activity or time period is over and it literally has never worked out that way, but I still think it!
We used to go to dollar night at baseball games and it was so much fun. Not the baseball part, the dollar drinking!
Dollar drinking?! I’d die of shock if that ever happened here.
I am done with WIAW. Every week I am in WIAW purgatory and I have the backlink. A backlink that doesn’t even make sense since there is no acknowledgment if WIAW at Peas and Crayons anymore. Why are we still linking over there? It is just causing problems!! *sigh*
Oh well….Happy Wednesday and I am SO HAPPY baseball season is here. GO METS and PHILLIES!!!
Dollar tacos? That’s impressive at a baseball stadium! I’m a huge baseball fan – love those sox 🙂 I”ve actually been to Petco Park before – such a nice stadium!
Right?! No worries… the rest of the time it’s crazy expensive. 😛
Haha my wiaw post is also ballpark themed, but I didn’t actually get to go to a great! I love baseball and love that you guys do $1 taco night! W gave Dollar Dog night, but I’m not a big hot dog can. Also, that breakfast bowl looks so good!
Dollar hotdogs would be cool too though… but yeah, I prefer the tacos.
I have to say.. I am not a baseball fan. To be fair, I’m not a SPORTS fan. but I find baseball to be extra boring. It’s so long! I think at least a small amount of this comes from having to go to all of my brother’s little league games as a kid, though.
LOL! I hear that a lot. I played ball as a kid (and still do), so I think that makes it more entertaining.
I have NEVER been to a baseball game but this post makes me really want to go to one… even though I don’t know the first thing about baseball. $1 tacos sound great!
That scallop thing is definitely not typical game day food! Looks tasty, though! Also, $1 tacos sound amazing. I’ve got a Mexican date with the husband tonight and I’ll be daydreaming about their carne asado tacos basically all day.
yay for opening day! I am a baseball fan (Yankees) but my son likes the mets so we have opening day tickets for Friday!
I love seeing so much enthusiasm around the web for baseball. Now if only I could get someone to buy me season tickets…
LOL! Sorry, I can barely afford Vegas. 🙂
I’m not much of a sports person, but I do love that God made our bodies to do such amazing sports feats. He is an AMAZING God! 🙂
Never been to a baseball game although my dad is a die hard Yankees fan…looks so fun!
Never?! You have to go to at least one… even if it IS the Yankees. 😉
Um, that is unreal ballpark food. There is basically nothing at those parks that I can eat (especially because we aren’t in the nicer areas). So I eat all the hot dog toppings lol
Right?! We even have sushi at our park. And kale salads!
Not really a baseball fan. Football, yes! 🙂 And those oats look so yummy, I’m thinking I might have some for lunch!
I love football too… why don’t THEY ever have dollar days?!
No kidding!
Season tickets is an AWESOME gift!!! That’s so much fun.
I wish I could see those dollar tacos, I’m sure they were worth the wait.
I may not be the biggest baseball fan, but $1 tacos are TOTALLY up my alley! Looks like you had a great day 🙂
I just LOVE all your unique combos:))
Oh My God, that first sentence is me EVERY DAY! I’m always thinking things are about to slow down. And they never are.
Gluttons for punishment! 😉
season tickets sound awesome! especially in san diego. i’m a yankees fan, and my husband is mets. we decided that we will impose the mets on our daughter (and i get the giants for football instead of the jets!). mostly i love going to baseball games for the food…always a hot dog and ice cream in helmet cup!
Haha – I love the compromise!
So funny, I’m the same way: I’ll have ALL THIS SPARE TIME once this ONE THING is done…except that something else always comes up. You’re right, though: being just busy enough is good for the soul! 🙂
Omg I love baseball not the actual sport but the sun, beers and peanuts haha! This makes me so excited for summer!! Cheers to sports for that!
HA! I have to admit… I’m half and half between the game and the atmosphere.
I have an idea for a drinking game. Any time a blogger on WIAW has a quest bar, take a shot 😉
HA! I don’t want to be that drunk… 😉
Oh how I can relate. Every time I have time off I think I can finally do NOTHING until I realize that I can’t, being busy is fun but I actually enjoy having absolutely nothing to do.
Very intrigued by that bowl with the purple sweet potato, looks tasty!
I thnk you and I may have to FIGHT FOR THE TITLE OF “best wife” because um… I bought my fiance golf lessons today, JUST CUZ… Tee he he ehe he!!
Okay, I could totally settle for sharing the title… When I marry the dude. So hold your head up high right now….. But just you wait! LOL!
Ohhhhhh… Vegas would love that too. she actually used to play competitively (?!). I furthered my best wife status by offering to learn to play with her. Soooooo boringgggggggg…
STFU. Tell me more about her pro golfing days! I just got the best friggin’ idea too. My fiance is just WAY TOO OBSESSED WITH GOLF (we are getting married on a golf course, LOL)… So um. WHY DONT WE ALL MEET in between Los Angeles & SD… And we can let them go play their 18 holes or whatever and you and I got FUCK AROUND… Find ADVENTURE!! Um, this is friggin’ brilliant!
PS: Sure, you went and played with her… I go to the golf course and drive the cart….. Zzzzzzzz.
It wasn’t Pro, but she played in tournaments for some big money. And YES we should meet up. They can play and we can do something more fun. Like eat salmon.
I can’t even get on the course yet… apparently I have to stay on the driving range until I can actually HIT the ball. Sigh…
What’s your avail in May??
Not the first two weeks (we’re moving – yay!), but later we’re around. We also have Padres season tix… you guys could come down for a game???
Such a fun post! Vegas is lucky to have such a caring gal at her side, and I know you feel the same! 🙂 Those oats look yummy, what’s your favorite brand/kind? 🙂
I love the Bob’s Red Mill GF oats. I’m not gluten-free… I just think the texture is better!
confession, baseball is so boring to watch to me —-> UNLESS you are a real game. So i guess we need to come visit again? right?
Did I mention the Padres stadium has a wine bar???
That snack bowl looks really interesting! I never know what to get my hubs for presents I always forget about getting tickets to events as gifts. Have a great day!
I’ve been trying to focus on memories and experiences vs. things as gifts. We just have SO much stuff already… I’m going through a minimalist thing.
The Hubby is jealous of your seasons tickets. I, of course, am jealous of your booze. 🙂
Not any more!!!!! Champagne toasts galore!
That’s so fun that you got to see your client perform at the game! My hubby and I should definitely meet up with you two at a game sometime this season. Season tix to the Padres is a big commitment! But I feel like you were already there every other day last season anyways HA!
Please do! Let me know which game and we can trade for extra tix!
