Wait...what?

The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series? I'm still not sure it actually happened, but the newspapers and TV stations are saying so. I was hoping for a Tigers-Mets finale (like most people...except, well, the Cardinals and their fans) but somehow St. Louis won - and kept winning. I was rooting for the Tigers in the championship, I would have rooted for the Mets had they been there, and I was rooting for the Red Sox up until (and even through) the downward spiral of a season that ended all too abruptly. But that's another story.

The World Series was anti-clamatic. Sure, there was the pine tar/smudge/dried mud stain story - and that made things semi-interesting for about .5 seconds until I had seen Kenny Rogers' hand and hat from every possible camera angle - but everyone had been picking the Mets from Day One. Heck, St. Louis didn't even look like they would make the playoffs to begin with. But then again, sometimes it's those come-from-behind teams that get things done (can anybody say 2004 Red Sox?)

I like St. Louis; I've even lived there at one point and I'm pretty sure I own a miniature Cardinals baseball bat that's stuffed somewhere up in my closet (but knowing me, I will never find it again). I'm just saying that out of all the top solid teams - Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Detroit - I'm not sure I ever would have picked St. Louis. It just wasn't an interesting series. Yes, I watched parts of it and I saw the last game. But Dancing with the Stars pulled in more viewers at one point. And yes, I was one of them.

Sweeeet

The other day I got a vanilla cappucino for 10 cents. Why, you ask? Because Wawa was running a special. And if you've never been to a Wawa, you're missing out. It's the equivalent of a clean Seven-Eleven plus a deli.

You know, it's the little things. Like saving $1.50 on a cappucino.

If there is one annoying person on TV

...it's Meredith from Grey's Anatomy.

If you've been watching since the new season began, you may or may not agree with me. She's just, I don't know, a pain. Her latest stint this week about shaving and waxing and wanting to get felt up (I know I just piqued a few guys' interest) was ridiculous. Get over yourself. She's not bad-looking, but I wouldn't say she's gorgeous. And she has Patrick Dempsey and Chris O'Donnell fighting over her.

Shouldn't we all be that lucky.
