Go Packers!

Hello from Wisconsin. Not much going on here. Trying to catch up on quilts now that I'm feeling better. Just thought I'd take a minute and say hi.
HOW 'BOUT THEM PACKERS?!?! I can't say I'm much of a football fan. I watch the Packers with my hubby and usually that's kind of half-hearted. I'll have some hand sewing or a book and do the "watching TV with the top of my head" trick, basically taking up space, supplying snacks and beer and keeping him company which is all he really wants. But I'm pretty pumped about the Packers this year. 8-1!!! I've actually been glued to the TV the last couple of games. No hand sewing or reading being done on game day here! Mark can hardly believe it. LOL
Speculation is rampant about whether Favre is done this year or not. I say it depends on if he makes it to the Super Bowl. Others say he's broken all the records, there's no reason for him to stay regardless of the Super Bowl, since he's won one already. The NFL has been running all these "memorial" type stories during Packer games, acting like it's his last year. Whatever the answer ends up to be, The Pack is in prime form this year and I am actually enjoying the ride.
On that note, they are playing Detroit on Thanksgiving. My son Matt (see previous post) has a bet with a guy at work who is a Lions fan. Whoever's team loses has to shave his head. We're gonna have fun with that one at our family get-together! LOL

Have a great day!
piecin' love,

Sorry For The Rant....

Apologies for yesterday's rant. Kind of got off on a tangent there.

I'm feeling much better today. I got some sleep courtesy of Nyquil, which helped tremendously. And then there's RETAIL THERAPY. Today my daughter had a Lia Sophia jewelry party and I bought the cutest earrings for myself and got a bit of Christmas shopping out of the way. Then I spent some time with Leslie, drooling over laptops in a Dell catalog that came in the mail. We even went online and played "build your own" at the Dell website. It's amazing how an $850 laptop can leap to over $1600 when you add in the stuff they don't tell you about in the catalog. LOL

Before I head off to Nyquil dreams, I thought you might get a kick out of these pictures from our South Dakota vacation in summer of 2006. We took loads of pictures. These make me laugh everytime I look at them.

This is me getting cozy with one of the "statues" in Wall Drug.

This is son, Matt..... Either Calamity Jane doesn't do it for him or he's wondering if he can sneak off without anyone knowing we're related.

Guess it was the former. LOL

It's All My Fault

My head feels like a bowling ball, my nose feels like it's gonna fall off my face, my chest feels like someone is sitting on it, and boy oh boy am I crabby....uugghh. It's that time of year again. When the crud starts getting passed around. And I've got it. Yay, me.
My hubby says it's my fault because I don't dress appropriately for the weather. But this is WISCONSIN. FALL in Wisconsin. When the weather changes every five minutes.
Warm, cold...wet, dry....windy, calm...
Add to that the fact that I am peri-menopausal. Can you say "Hot Flashes"? My idea of dressing for cold weather is two pairs of socks. Yea....my feet get cold. The rest of me....NOT. Well, when I do get cold, it lasts about 15 minutes. I keep an overshirt handy to throw on. 15 minutes later, it's off again. At night, I'm outside the covers more than I am under them....and hubby thinks I'm crazy. He doesn't understand the concept of hot flashes. He just doesn't get it.
So where am I going with this? I have no clue. LOL
Oh yea.....it's my fault I'm sick because I don't dress for cold weather. Sigh. Whatever.

Have a wonderful day! Stay healthy!
piecin' love,
Terri
