Margie has rug burn on both of her knees this morning & I've got 2 bloody & bruised fingers...no, we weren't brawling! She was praying & I was jumping up & down in victory over the Packers loss to my beloved Giants (and blasted my closed fist against the beam in the ceiling...I've got some cheerleader left in me...LOL!)! My entire day yesterday was perfect & I'm still in shock!!! I'm also completely stuffed still...I do love the massive amounts of food Margie & I whip up for a football game...what's better than a buffet of your favorite things??? I'll have her turned into a gourmet goddess before she knows what's hit her!
Yesterday goes right up there with the Florence victory my Junior year of high school! One of those incredible days when I am part of a greater victory...when I can watch someone else's greatness & feel like I'm a small part of it! Chuckie Kirby saved the day on that cold rainy day in South Jersey...he was a hero for a little while because of it...if my Dad sees him, he's still a hero for it! Yesterday, Lawrence Tynes was the hero for the Giants & I still get goosebumps when I think of the excitement that was racing through my entire body in those last moments. Manning was incredible & our boys fought the good fight!
Barry was holding my hand & laughing at me as I freaked out...I was trying not to watch that last field goal attempt...him & Margie insisted I watch because I would have been so sad if I had missed it & they both know me so well- THANK GOD, I can't believe I almost didn't watch...Moosh was crawling around, Meggie was panicking & pacing (the little Packers fan wasn't loving me so much last nite!) & finally, the kick was good. I love a game that goes into OT.
It was a great weekend & a great football day...I think probably the very best this season! I love partying with my faves...& can't wait for Super Bowl Sunday...we're gonna have to put the big table downstairs for all of our food!!!! Wings & meatballs & hoagies...OH MY!!! I have to get more No. 9 before then...one of my new loves! Good call on that one...I should never doubt your knowledge!!! :)
Other than that...our Saturday date with Aunt Margie at the Colonial was the same as always- pannycakes & eggs & a bagel delux...until we did our sprint to the car- it's a race we do, she holds Katie & I hold Brandon's hand & we run. Kate didn't want to be held this Saturday so she held Aunt Margie's hand. I think we'll go back to our normal race next weekend. Kate wiped out & has matching Band Aids on her knees...which she loves!!!
Christmas is finally down at my house...better late than never, LOL! I can't do it before 1/8 it's just a personal law of mine, nothing comes down before Elvis's birthday...& then I ran out of time...but it's finally done & again...it broke my heart! I am so sad when it's all over, it's one of my favorite times of the year. The excitement in the kids is a miracle to watch & I know it! My days are limited in the whole "believing"...so I appreciate it while I have it! Now I just have to get the last 2 Christmas presents to their recipients, wasn't in the cards this weekend, I guess!
That was our weekend, my loves...Happy Monday & GO GIANTS!!!

OMG... What an incredible game! The bruises, cuts, and rug burn were so worth it! I can't wait until Super Bowl Sunday... I am already preparing the setup, lots of red and blue NY Giants goodies. I am so happy that your Giants didn't let you down, you never gave up on them and they are now on the way to the Super Bowl. Let's cheer them on as they make history by ruining the Pats perfect season!!!
This weekend was incredible as always. I love our Saturday tradition, it gives me something to look forward to at the end of a long week.
LET'S GO GIANTS!!!
THANK YOU as always!!! Barry couldn't stop laughing about the 2 of us carrying on last night & he says...THANK YOU for treating us to the Guitar Hero 1 & 2 play offs, a great pre-game to the NFL play offs...& all of the snacks for the game yesterday...you've always got a place to be. You're simply the best! & we love our weekly date too...Bran & Kate wake me up on Saturdays to...IT'S ALMOST TIME, MOMMY! :) We love you!! GO GIANTS!!!!!
Congradulations! I was soo excited to have the Giants win. Now, let's talk about the Superbowl and why we were not invited...LOL. It would be a great trip to make. Do ya think you can express mail me a hoggie?
As for Christmas, it was always a big deal for your mom and mine. I think thats why it's such a huge thing for you, I know it is for me and our house.
Good luck Giants, kick the Pats butt. WE will be cheering for you!
hop on a plane & i'll save you a seat...& a magic hat (my new fave beer!!)
& i think you just might be right about Christmas...it was a huge deal to our Mommies...a beautiful thing for them to pass on to us! :)
cheer on, dani!! GO GIANTS!!! :)
I can't wait until the Superbowl...looking forward to 19-0 :)
That last kick was AMAZING...especially after the heartbreaking two that he missed!
I totally forgot about the Florence game until you wrote about it...funny how that works.
Too funny. You guys have all the fun!
19-0 you wish, missy!!! pretty boy brady is going down!! :) i hope it's a good game at least...i LOVE football!!!
i'll have a beer for ya, amy! :)
Do you think you can handle three Dallas fans and a Dolphin fan? If I knew i could hop on the plane and not get harrassed about it then i would. People down here have a hard enough time with us being Cowboy fans, it would be even worse if they knew we were going up there to cheer for the Giants. I'm not sure we would be able to come home! =)~
Then again, hanging with the fam would be a great time! You just might see us there! You know where the airport is right? HAhAHA!
