Another post that I meant to publish last night, but I was too busy celebrating…

Because the Cubs clinched the National League Central Division last night!!

They beat the Reds down in Cincinnati, cutting the magic number down to one. Immediately afterward, every Cubs fan near a TV turned on ESPN to see what was happening in the Padres/Brewers game. During the Cubs game, every time the Padres took the lead and it was posted on the national scoreboard, you’d hear a collective cheer from Cubs fans.

The other day, while perusing more office furniture (I’m always on the hunt for a better desk, not that I have the room or cash at the moment), JM asked me if I’d be willing to spring for a flagpole for the outside of the house. You see, he has a “W” flag, which is the flag that Wrigley Field raises when the Cubs win. So, I did a search for flagpoles, and found one for a reasonable price. I even paid for 2nd day air shipping, just to get it in time.

The Boyfriend was supposed to attach the flagpole to the house on Thursday, but he must have been distracted by shinier things, because it was still in the living room when I came home from work. After the game last night, I made do it. And then I took this:

Isn’t it beautiful?

Coincidentally (or not), yesterday was also the day that my mom received notification of her commemorative brick order - the one with my husband’s name on it. Perfect timing. I should be getting the replica within 8 to 10 weeks. I will definitely post a photo here when I get it. And I will definitely be back at Wrigley next year to see the real thing in person.

And this time, I will NOT forget my camera…
