And by “a bust” I do not mean a sculpture of the chest up of say, Nefertiti (bringing back some memories, Berta?), but a mission not accomplished.

Sunday afternoon, we were supposed to go to a Yankee game. Supposed to as in we had three tickets, got up, got dressed in awesomely coordinated outfits and were on our way out the door when…we couldn’t find the tickets! We have an area on the desk by our front door where we keep all of the tickets for our upcoming events. Now maybe the rest of you don’t have a special area, but we have enough upcoming events that we do. Right now in that area are Yankee tickets for September, US Open Tennis Tickets and tickets for the last show of Rent. What is not there however, are the tickets we needed to get us into todays game.

We looked high. We looked low. We looked places we knew they could not possibly be. Then we gave up and took naps. Alas, a bust!

(photo disclaimer: for those of you who have never met her, lisa does not normally look like a wax person. she was running on very little sleep and was clearly quite sad. she’s horrified that i am including this photo. please don’t mention it to her. also, i am usually better at looking sad, but as was the theme of the day, it was a bust! other than that, please enjoy the photo!)

For those of you keeping track, that makes two attempted Yankee games this year and two busts. The first due to rain and illness, this one due to loss. All bad news for us. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for Septembers game. The frustrating thing about today is that you just know we are going to find those tickets soon and in a place we should have looked. I almost expect to stumble upon them at any moment. I’ll keep you posted on that one as well.

The other frustrating thing is that the world (50,000+ Yankee fans) did not get to experience the Stripe Trifecta that we opted for today (jealous Erica and Ezra?).

Or the same shirt in different colors that Lisa and I opted for. One word: AWESOME!
