He Loves Me

Why does God love me so much?

I just don’t get it, but I sure do appreciate it.

Man, I love my damn job!

I just got home from another grueling event at work. We were forced to watch the Marlins play the Phillies at Pro Player Stadium. What’s even worse is my department had the audacity to rent out the Legends Skybox so we had to sit up high in the sky in air conditioning, sipping on beer and wine and eating all kinds of good food. Man, isn’t life something?

HAHAHAHAHA!

I love my damn job!

So off I went to the stadium with my co-workers for our End of the Year wrap up party to thank all of our volunteers for beating our fundraising goal. We set out to raise $400,000 but we actually raised $413,000. We are so good at what we do!

This was an amazing experience for me for two reasons. 1) I don’t like sports and never thought I’d like baseball, but this was SO MUCH FUN! 2) This was my first time seeing an actual professional sports event live.

It was crazy sitting there on the edge of my seat through 9 innings as the Marlins and The Phillies went run for run. At the bottom of the 9th inning, the Marlins scored a run tieing with the Phillies which meant the game was going into overtime (or whatever you wanna call it).

I slirped the last of my wine and sat down, licking my lips in anticipation. I was overdressed for this event but oh well, it’s better to look too cute than not cute enough.

Someone whispered to me, “Whoever gets the next run wins the game.” My heart began to race. I watched as the Phillies went through 3 batters, none of them making it to homeplate. I screamed as our boys went up to bat.

Two batters later, it was crunch time. We had 2 on the bases and the batter had 2 strikes and if he struck out the Phillies would have another chance at bat.

One low pitch and the Marlins batter (whoever he was) popped it out into left field! The Phillies man in the field couldn’t get to it fast enough! The crowd is on its feet as the Marlins players RUN HOME!

WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!

Our skybox went crazy and there was pandemonium in the bleachers. I jumped and I screamed and I was so happy! Now, I can understand why people get excited watching sports. I never understood before. In the midst of my jumping up and down I felt a wetness and I looked down. Oh damn. I peed on myself. I knew I should have gone to the bathroom earlier.

Yuck.

Everyone is leaving and hugging and saying goodbye, I grab a poster and place it in front of my crotch, hoping the dark wet spot doesn’t show in the back of my thin capris.

I make it out without anyone saying anything to me about it. he he…

I am so happy. I can’t believe I took the risk of moving down here to Miami and it actually paid off. I am in a great position to learn at my job. I love the people I work with, they are so cool. I am actually getting PAID to do some really simple stuff. I am making it, in MIAMI, now that’s a feat. I am doing my thang thanks to God and a little perseverence.

I am so happy. I can’t believe my joy.

I don’t think things could get any better than this.
