Now We Know

How it all came to be.....

Perfection 16 - 0

It looked rough there for a bit but the Patriots achieved their goal of the perfect season - in addition to this both Moss and Brady broke records. For those of you not watching last night - here you go:



Now the hard work begins - but before we get into that I just want to thank the guys who worked so hard last night:

No one knew which Randy Moss we were getting. I think it's quite obvious we got the real thing. What's left to say about Brady? He's simply the best (in my book).







Wes Welker looks like such a little guy on tv. We got him from Miami and boy are they pissed they let him go. I think he's a poster boy for right situations allowing people to reach their potential. He's quick and always seems to be open - we love him here in New England.














And last but certainly not least a BIG thank you to Vrabel for smothering that onside kick.














Hopefully we will be seeing these scenes again in 2008.

Amazingly Typical

Isn't this just typical. People at the rally are saying they heard gunshots - but the government is saying that she hit her head as a result of a suicide bomber. When are governments going to start realizing they cannot continue to feed the masses crocks of shit? Here is another article with a different theory. You can tell how important someone really was by how many conspiracy theories start up after their death.

I know American's look at the protests, the looting and the "carrying on" that goes on in the middle east after an event like this and turn up their noses - but the fact is they are letting their displeasure show...what a concept.

My other question is this: If Pakistan is such a hot spot these days for al-Qaeda then why aren't they on President Jackass's radar? Hmmmmm I wonder if it's because there is little to no oil there? No, that couldn't be it. He wouldn't be sending out troops over to the middle east simply to make sure that he continues to make a buck would he? If you want to keep track of exactly how many of our men and women have been killed check out Friday By The Numbers over on One Pissed Off Veteran.

This guy is NOT a Bush fan but then again that's why I like him so much ....you've been warned.

Christmas Wrap-Up

I had an excellent Christmas. In fact my Christmas was so fabulous that I didn't even get home until late after noon on the 26th. Considering the fact that I left my house early morning the 25th - I'd call that a good holiday.

It really all starts Christmas eve at my aunt and uncle's house. They have a thing every Christmas Eve. Sometimes it's mellow other times it's rowdy. This years was a bit rowdy. There was lots of beer and shots of butterscotch or Dr's in chocolate shot glasses. I also decided to revert back to my high school days and wear an outfit just to get a rise out of the boys. It worked. I work a black skirt,black top with silver sparkly skull and crossbones, black fishnet tights and black tall boots. It did the job. Believe me, they are still thinking about it.

The next morning we go to my mom's she has this brunch thing that everyone comes to. It's always a lot of fun. We then move down to my aunt and uncles (different aunt and uncle) for dinner. She cooks a kick ass piece of beef and we all do more butterscotch shots and drink a lot of beer ( I don't cause I have to drive). Then there are four of us who play cards for cash. It's a blast. The language goes downhill really really fast and I end up using those words that I swear I won't ever use again - but I do every freakin holiday. We all won a match and then my uncle Tom won the tie-breaker. That rat-bastard. The more he drinks the better his game is. Jackass.

Then it's on to my friend's house. This is a brother of a relative by marriage. So I know everyone there. This is where it all lets loose. I stay over there so I can drink to my hearts content- but that's not all we do. They have a huge tv and KICK ASS sound system so the music dvd's go on and the dancing commences. It was a blast. It all seemed to erupt at once. Even his parents (who are in their 80's) were dancing up a storm. Everyone was so happy, it was so much fun. I finally hit the pillow somewhere around 3am.

Got up the next day and before I could get home a friend called and wanted me to come over and catch up. So I grabbed bagels and went over there until late afternoon. Then I finally went home and took a nap.

Now I'm back at work - and as you can see working very very hard. OK I really do have to get to some of this end of the year crap.

Hope everyone's holiday was happy!

Singleness and Love

Most of us have that person. You know the one. They are the ideal to which we measure all current and future relationships. Unfortunately if we are still measuring against this person there is a good chance that no one is ever going to match up. I have that person - and we are friends but that's another whole other post.

The point is I tend to see him quite a bit during this time of year and it stirs up all kinds of shit for me.

I'm 40 and single and frankly it sucks. Especially around this time of year. Everywhere you go people are coupled up. All of your married or dating friends are super busy with family stuff- which is completely understandable. This is also the time of year that people give you that look that is somewhere between understanding and pity which is usually followed with "oh don't you worry, you'll find someone". Yeah I know...I've been trying to tell myself that now for quite a few years. The real question is WHEN?

I'm amazed by the number of people who seem envious of my single status. These are usually people who are married. I always wonder if they are as unhappy as they seem or is it just an act. If it's not then I seem to know an unusually large number of unhappily married people. I wonder if that's normal.

OK here's what I want (if you don't ask you don't get): Guy 38-48, great sense of humor, gainfully employed, dark hair, dark eyes, decent physical condition, loves music, loves to go out and have fun, politics that lean from the center to the left. Someone who can take my moods and can understand that I sometimes need alone time.

I know he's out there. Just for research purposes I went on match.com and put in just the age group and location and I got about 20 pages with 10-12 pictures on it. I'm scared to death of the online thing - and it's all about rejection. For all my loudness and big personality putting myself out there is terrifying.

I guess the place the most people meet is work. That is so not happening at my job. Maybe after I get my degree and start my new career I'll have better luck.

I will say this: I do not want to be alone for the rest of my life and I am terrified that's where I'm headed. I can only put on this happy face and pretend it doesn't bother me for so long.

So with all of that in mind I have a question: I will inevitably be asked to spend New Years Eve with married and/or coupled friends (and I love all of my friends I really do). Should I just suck it up and be the only single one there or should I just stay home and do school work.

Tell me what you think blogfriends - I trust your judgement.

Some music for my mood....

More Christmas Spirit

If this doesn't get you in the Christmas Spirit then you are officially made of stone!
I loved this so much it made me laugh out loud.

Men

Can someone out there please tell me what it is about dark tortured men that is so freakin sexy? If any of you have figured this out please let me know ASAP. There is a lot going on in this video...and most of it isn't very nice.



Something inside of me has opened up it's eyes

Tis' the Season

This is one of my favorite Christmas movies - although I'm not sure that most would consider it an actually Christmas movie - but I do. After reading ADW's post this morning (don't let the title fool you) I'm feeling absolutely thankful and happy...no really I am. So here you go.




And just for fun



OK what the hell here is one more...

14 - 0 Baby!

What more is there to say? It wasn't as easy as some thought it would be but we did it.

C'mon Miami you're next.

Snowy Sunday

Remember when a snow storm was fun? All you had to worry about was dressing warm enough to go outside and making sure you peed before you got all your gear on. Oh and the prayers for no school were always fun. My dad worked for the school bus company so we always knew way before everyone - that was nice.





It's Sunday morning and I'm usually out the door early to watch my boys but because of the weather I went yesterday. It snowed last night - a good amount - but no where near what I thought we would get.

I just went out an moved my car and although I did get stuck for a second it really wasn't that hard. My car is in this line so you can see it's not too bad.

The thing that's bad about this storm is that it's on top of one we just had on Thursday. We have a new plow company at my condo and they did a shitty job. Well actually it wasn't all their fault. We have a tiny parking lot that just has enough spots for every condo. There is literally no place for them to plow the snow and leave it. Add to that the fact that people didn't move their cars and you have a mess.


This guy "stores" his corvette in the lot and keeps it covered all all winter. This makes it impossible for the plow to be able to fully plow out by the fence. Why you would "store" your corvette that is your pride an joy outside I have no idea. The condo guy came over here last night and tried to talk to the owner and the guy went apeshit. So on top of it he's crazy. He did promise to move it though - hopefully he meant it.

Here is my parking spot. I usually park right in front of the "tenant parking only" sign. This is where they picked to pile the snow. Nice huh? Oh well, they did their best.




Ok I moved my car, had breakfast, wrapped a present and finished my Christmas cards. So now it's on to school work and waiting for the Pat's game. Oh and sorry the pictures are so grey but that's what the sky looks like today.
