Thank You #Royals

KC Royals - 

I know last night didn't turn out how either of us planned, but don't let it get you down. Just think about all you've done over the past few weeks. You've brought attention to our beloved Kansas City on a national scale, unlike ever before. 

It's been really inspiring how you've banded together as a team for the city and each and everyone of you have represented the city proudly. Yeah, you've had some outstanding hits, awesome plays and amazing games, but the real story is what you've done for KC. 

Even from afar, I can feel and see the energy and excitement that you've brought to the city. The pictures of Power & Light, the sold-out stadium, the businesses that have turned blue to support you. That's not just because they love baseball, it's because they are proud of KC. 

And you've brought so much pride, excitement and fun to the game and the city. With the mohawks, moose antlers, opening a tab at the P&L and more you've won us over. 

No matter what happens over the next few days (although we'd really love a W), in my mind you've already won. Won over the hearts of all of KC and of people across the nation. And you've done something great for the city. 

Thank you.

Jimmy Fallon LUV

Almost forgot how much I LOVE Jimmy Fallon until last Friday when we started watching some clips at work - like really love back to the SNL weekend update days. I would literally not watch SNL, but flip to the channel when I knew weekend update was coming on. 

I mean this guy is totally on my level of awkwardness, but manages to make it funny. And make a lot of money off of it. Genius. Meanwhile at least I have this blog... 

In lieu of sleeping this evening (it's been a weird week and the Royals have got me riled up), I'll share out some of my latest favorites for your watching / listening pleasure. 

Gwen + Blake Lip Sync Battle 

Word Sneak with Steve Carell - Jimmy is just so bad, it's good.

Staying up until 1:30a when I have a 7am client presentation. #ThatWasStupid

Sleep is #overrated

Good news. Sleeping 5 hours a night is healthier than sleeping 8 hours according to a study by University of California, San Diego. Although it's probably a lot easier to sleep less there when it's warm & sunny outside all the time. 

Regardless, happy to hear about this study because 5-6 hours is about how much I sleep on the average weeknight. 

I mean, come on. There are so many things to do in life, but so little time!! 

Just think, if you only sleep 5 hours a night instead of 8 (on weeknights) that's 15 more hours per week to do things. Which is 780 more hours per year to do things. 

Things like posting on this blog. You're welcome. 

Selfies are so not my jam.

So my friend, George, has a t-shirt business (Brookside Tees) and has given out t-shirts to lady friends to promote his business. While I do rep his company whenever I wear his tee, I struggle with posting pictures to his Twitter & Instagram showcasing me in the tee. 

Why? you ask. Well partially because I'm not exceptionally photogenic, but mostly because I suck at selfies. If you don't believe me, please see the shenanigans that ensued a few days ago while trying to take a selfie. 

 Head cut off. 

 Just the boobs.

 Accidentally hit the record button.

And... for the win... can't keep both eyes open.

 

Turns out I look better as a pirate.
