Opening Day is one of my most favorite days!! It signifies spring is here, whether Mother Nature is fully committed to it or not, breaking out the spray tan and the royal blue!! This was a very special one…officially my FIRST Royals opening day as a local!! I bought myself a Fountain Pass for my birthday this year. It’s only a standing room ticket but it’s EVERY SINGLE home game. I mean I guess you could call me a season ticket holder. #bigdeal

It was the best day!! A little windy. But I got my bobble head, souvenir baseball shaped cup, opening day shirt, a way over priced sequin jacket from Drunky McDrunkerson, and a date. Come on, you knew there’d be a story. I left the house. It just happens.

First and foremost I cannot stress enough how good for the soul it is to spend time with yourself and take adventures. Do not wait to do things. And definitely do not miss Royals games. It was a sell out day!! People watching solid 13/10 and the best energy. After a good handful of laps, snacks and out-of-control hair, I found a sunny warm spot (my cat-like instincts.meow) out of the wind on the right field wall for a reset and to wait on the highly anticipated FIRST PITCH. Minding my own business, eating my popcorn, sipping a soda, and listening to the random conversations of mostly intoxicated strangers. [This is a highly overlooked past time. Pure entertainment. And it was included with my ticket!!] Up walks jeep dude. Super nice guy just getting out of the wind and looking for somewhere to set his beer. Of course, my never-meet-a-stranger and super excited about being at Kauffman self, said hi. After enriching his life with the profound details of my opening day experience {thus far}, enter his friend, Drunky McDrunkerson.

Y’all. Ya know your girl supports you living your best life. Have fun. No regrets. Do you. But if you are a 45 yr old grown ass man in public, please for the sake of all the stairs and Dunks, KNOW.YOUR.LIMITS. I wasn’t even all that upset with the stairs and what that could have been but when you slosh beer on the royal satin Dunks, may God save your soul. I didn’t lose my whole tank on him but I did voice my dislike with his sloppy ass behavior. Luckily he was drinking super light girl beer so I was able to clean my shoes and move on from googling the closest pig farm. But we all know the emotionally unstable drunky, the can’t let it go, the girl crying in the bathroom bc some one blinked at her kinda-drunk. Him. You know the type.

Hindsight I should have said nice to meet ya and been on my way. But I am so team meet people organically and I was interested in carrying on the convo with jeep guy. He seemed pretty dude normal and not douchey and he was insistent I keep hanging. We take a little walk to the other side of the stadium for new scenery and for McD to walk some of his business off. Ok this part I need you to imagine the most dramatic theatrics you can stir up. I made the horrible decision to go into the store and look at a hat. Bless me. This dude sprints to the sequin bomber jacket and starts a whole thing about me being a unicorn and needing this jacket to match my shoes and personality. (not arguing his valid points) Remember its a sold out opening day, this store isn’t empty. I had already looked at this jacket earlier. I knew it was stupid expensive and he was being insane. Who buys a random girl a $175 sequin jacket because they’re so effing drunk they can’t rationalize their actions?! McD. Y’all he wouldn’t let anyone leave the store. He kept yelling he didn’t care how much anything was. This poor clerk was as nervous as I was. He would not take no. He would not let me bargain a tshirt or hat instead. Jeep dude is just standing there all “dude let him do what he wants and regret it tomorrow”. SMH. So I took one for the team and let that fool swipe away. I haven’t witnessed such tool behavior maybe ever. But hey shout out to sequins with a story. Full regret not giving him my Venmo.

Turns out I earned it helping jeep dude get him to the parking lot. Like could not walk. Pitiful. Gross really. I know some of you gals want the emotionally available dude, the ol in touch with their feelings, all romantic and shit, but after watching McD cry like a 12 yr old girl on a curb and feeling like I had a husband after 4 dates, it’s not for me. What is for me…cool jackets, funny opening day memories and a couple meals. I went on a few dates with jeep dude, even though he surprise sucked my face in front of a ton of people when I hadn’t known him for more than a couple hours after the game. Ewww. ATTN gentlemen: READ THE ROOM. I did not give him suck my face vibes. It’s not my first day. I did gave him an inch for nerves. But too nice is still too of something.

Anywho, turns out I felt guilty cheating on my main squeeze, KC. He knows his boundaries and keeps it real and doesn’t try to kiss you with his mouth full. Why though? Back to dating this amazing city, doing what I want…And loving every second of it!!!!
