Congrats to two of my favorite blogging ladies! Shanna and Tracy! Congrats ladies. Send me an email and I will get you more information.

Last Thursday was the Annual Congressional Baseball game. Several members of Congress come together for the ultimate partisan showdown, where it really matters, on the baseball field. Being the connected washington insider that I am, I was invited to a pre-game reception at the Nationals Stadium. 

This was actually my first time to the nats stadium this season. Crazy. I know. I really need to go more often. If you've never been there, the nats stadium is gorgeous! Opened up a few years ago, and no offense to turner field, but it's kind of way better... sorry atlanta.

Cheering for the Blue Team! 

Rocking some political swag. Cspan hat, Ford focus glasses, defend my dividend koozie. Love free stuff!

The Dems killed it. I mean, we are talking mercy rule in the 4th inning. I believe the final score was 18 to 5. After the blow out last year (8-0 dems) the republicans are hurting. Hopefully this is a precursor to the November elections and the Dems sweep the House, Senate and the White House.
