Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Happy Random Tuesday everyone! Are you feeling at all random today? If you are you really should share! Grab the box below and head over to Keely's place to join the fun!

1. I know I already said it but . . . Soooo Happy for the New Orleans Saints! What a game!

2. I'm really going to miss football.

3. Craig Ferguson is on Twitter!!!! I'm sooo excited!! THAT was a great birthday gift! (@Craigyferg)

4. Kiddo went to bed last night and I heard him coughing. I though Oh no. Oh yes. He woke up this morning with a full blown cold! I HATE it when my poor Kiddo is sick.

5. Taxes done! Yes! Do I have to wait to spend the money until it actually gets here????

6. Hubby let me make breakfast for dinner last night since it was my birthday. (He doesn't really care for breakfast.) I made homemade sausage. Turkey sausage actually because I didn't have ground pork. It was so good. I was proud of myself. I felt so Amish. (This post is not intended to offend any Amish that may be reading.)

7. We FINALLY got batteries for Kiddo's ClickStart system. I love that thing! He's learning letters and numbers and computer skills. He also LOVES it! (I think we may need new batteries soon. Too bad I haven't found C size rechargable batteries.)

8. I finally changed the ringtones on my phone. I was still listening to Carol of the bells (Trans Siberian Orchestra version) everytime someone called. It's nice to hear something else.

9. I love Half.com. I highly recommend it. I shop there all the time! I bought some movies and stuff there for my birthday. (The money came from others. lol) It's a great site! Check it out!

Well, I guess that's all. Have a great Random Tuesday everyone!

Saints, Warner, the 8th, Cake . . . (It makes sense, I promise.)

Congratulations to the Saints! So happy!

What a game! I was on the edge of my seat! I sure am going to miss football.

Speaking of "miss" and "football." I really am going to miss Kurt Warner too.

You know, I was watching him give his press conference, when he announced he was retiring and someone asked him something like "You're 38, in football thats old but now you're not old anymore . . .?"

I started thinking. I remember when my Dad turned 40 and I thought. "Wow, my Dad is FORTY!"

Well you know what! Kurt Warner is not really (when you think about it) that much older than I am! When the heck did THAT happen?!?

I used to not mind my birthday . . . but lately I'm feeling kind of up there (And technically, I'm really not!) . . . Maybe we should just skip February 8th and move right on to the 9th.

Alright, I need comfort food . . . someone find me some cake! (Oh yea, there is none of that either, I'M the cake baker around here . . .)

Six Word Saturday!

It's that time again! What time? Time for Six Word Saturday! Grab the little button below and link up on Cate's blog!

Super Bowl Tomorrow! Who will win?

No No No

I just realized that I haven't written a blog yet today! That was almost a massive fail. I've been doing so well.

I've been distracted all day by church, and then foot ball and then more football and then a meeting at our church and then what was left of the second round of football.

Alas my team lost today. Oh well, Patriots, there's always next season. And, as I write this the Cardinals are headed into overtime and Green Bay gets the ball.

I apologize for the shortness of this post (at least there's a post) but I can't concentrate.

Meet me here tomorrow, MAYBE it'll be better.

It's Tuesday! Are you feeling random? Click the box and head over to Keely's to join in the random fun!!

1. There's a commercial that says in order to save energy "Turn off computers and electronics when not in use." I don't understand this "when not in use" phrase. Not in use??

2. Well, I didn't join the gym yesterday. However, it's in the plans for today. Maybe I can talk my Mother-in-Law into joining with me.

3. You would think I would at least have some random thoughts. I don't seem to have any thoughts at all.

4. We had Chicken Fettucine Alfredo with Awesome mushrooms for dinner last night. One of my most favorite meals. I can be full but I still want to eat more because it makes my taste buds so very very happy.

5. I have an impossible task for someone. Anyone interested? Any Vikings/Brett Favre fans out there? Way back towards the beginning of the season there was a game. (Duh) The Vikings team was guarding Favre so well that he bounced around in the pocket for about 7 seconds. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, locate a video of this time in the pocket so I can show my Mother-in-Law (she is a LIFETIME Favre FAN! The "scream until your lungs bleed" kind.)

6. Speaking off . . .  the decible levels in my house last night were Through. The. Roof. (And apparently didn't help anything.)

7. I haven't taken my tree down yet. Don't worry, it's outta here! Soon!

Well, it would appear I'm "thoughtless" today. So, have a great Tuesday everyone!

1. Just to reiterate something that I've said a number of times before . . .  I believe that Christmas should last longer than one day. At LEAST three. The day after Christmas is such a downer. Why does it have to be only one day?

2. I like football. I like cheering for football games. I do not like screeching and screaming and yelling and freaking out and "screaming until your lungs bleed!" (Heard that in a commercial.)

3. Screaming and screeching raise my blood pressure and I just want to freak out and scream at the person who is screaming to stop screaming!

4. WHAT is wrong with Tom Brady?!?! He was throwing that ball to people that weren't even there!! Was he halucinating players out there, or what?

5. Are You Kidding Me?!!?!?!?!? WHY?!!?!?!?! I Don't think so! No way!

6. FACT: It's hard to put your 3 year old to bed when there are people yelling and laughing and having a blast in your living room.

7. We had an "all night" movie night last night. I am SO tired.

8. You know what happens when a group of people watch a funny movie at 3 am? A lot of silliness, that's what!

9. Sooooo tired.

10. WHERE is my Spell check???? Someone, please help??

11. Have a great day!

It's Tuesday! Pop on over to Keely's blog and join the fun! Just click the cute little box below.

1. I HATE not having a Dunkin' Donuts around here! They should get rid of the commercials for them in this area since we don't have any. It's like torture!

2. This guy is so unintelligent I don't even have words . . .

3. This Thursday night the ladies from our church are getting together at Chili's to have dinner and to do and Ornament Exchange. Sounds like fun. However, I think it's a bit early. Seems like we should at least wait til next month. Oh well. Now, do I dress Christmassy???

4. McDonald's often has special milk shake flavors for the different seasons/holidays. Shamrock, pumpkin, egg nog. I love the Shamrock. Actually I love them all. My question, however, is this. Why don't they do the same thing with their iced coffee? I would love to have some pumpkin iced coffee right now.

5. My Kiddo has been on a Gilligan's Island kick lately. Any of you have a three year old who watches TV shows from the 60's?

6. Has anyone ever been to Portland, Oregon? Anything interesting to do there? (Or maybe things to avoid?) I'll take any suggestions I can get. Thanks!

7. Went to see Couples Retreat this past weekend. I really liked it. The more I see Vince Vaughn the more I like him.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Are you feeling random today? There's a good explanation for that, it's Tuesday! Join us over at Keely's blog for some Random Tuesday Thoughts

1. Does anyone watch NCIS: LA? I'm a big fan of NCIS so I decided to watch . . . I keep telling myself, Just one more episode, it'll get better. Did you catch it last week? There was a fight scene between LL Cool J (He's a cutie, btw.) and some other guy. It was awful. Slow and choppy and LL got half clobbered. I looked at J and said "Eliot would have put him on the ground!" (If you don't know who Eliot is you really should watch Leverage on Wednesday nights on TNT. It's a really great show. Oh, and Eliot is awesome!)

2. If you're going to tell me that that's the way it always was then why don't you make sure that all your employees know that too!! I am SO TIRED of going somewhere and getting something one way and then the next time I go back I try to get the same thing and they tell me they don't/can't do it that way! Get it together people!

3. I HATE Money . . . Well I would like it more if I had some. Now, our bills get paid and we have cable, internet, netflix, cell phones, text messages and all that so that's nice. It would just be nice to have some leftover afer all the bills are paid. I'm trying to save for a trip to Portland here!

4. "And I would do anything for love, But I won't do that, No I won't do that." - Meatloaf. Okay, I'm confused . . . What won't he do?

5. Kids Crusade this week at church. They're having a girls against the boys contest with the offering totals. A representative adult is picked for the girls and one for the guys and then whichever team loses (boys or girls) gets to put a pie in the face of the the opposite teams representative. Who do you think got drafted/volunteered to be the girls representative???? That's right, that would be me. How do I get talked into this stuff?? Please send your prayers/Thoughts/Well wishes and most of all CHECKS to the girls this week!

6. Will Brett Favre play football until he's seventy years old?

Have a great Random Tuesday!!!

Distracted

I'm sitting here staring at this wondering what to write but I am officially distracted by the OU/Miami game.

Do you watch football? I hated it when I was younger, then I tolerated it, then I decided if everyone around me was going to go nuts why not join them? You know what I discovered? I love football!

I updated my Facebook status a couple weeks ago and said something like "Sitting here watching Penn State, waiting for the Kiddo to fall asleep so I can grab a shower."

To this my Mom replied and asked where J was and why I couldn't just let him watch the Kiddo and get my shower because she just knew that I wasn't sitting here watching football alone.

It was funny to me. I told her J was at work and I was, in fact, watching football all on my own. I've done this a lot so far this season. It's a bunch of fun. Football I mean, it's obviously more fun to watch with someone else.

Now If only we had the cash to go to a game . . . *Dreaming*

(P.S. Sorry if this seems out of order. This was meant for yesterday but yesterday was my Mom's birthday and I wanted to make sure I wished her a happy one. So, this post was bumped to today. Thanks for reading!)

Football Season

Okay, so I'm supposed to be writing a post but all I can think about is continuously refreshing Twitter to read updates from people at the Christian Kane show at Dante's. (I live in the Wrong part of the county.)

Okay to be fair, even if I lived in the part of the country I really wanted to I would still be too far away to go to that show. Further away than I am now actually.

So, on to the business at hand.

It's football season! (That means Fall is almost here!!!)

When I was younger I Hated football. I just really hated it. Then when I got older I started to get a little more into it. Then when I got married, well, now I'm surrounded by football fans. So I got married and figured I would pay more attention.

I never got super excited about football season. It was always "Eh, it's football time again so I guess I'll watch." Well, this year I've decided "If you can't beat 'em, Join 'em." So, on that note. I'm going to be excited for the football season!

Now, I just need a team to root for. Any suggestions? My husband would have me root for Dallas. My Dad would not approve. lol.
