Sunday Morning

Good morning. It’s been a while since I wrote freely. Or, for awhile in general. We had thought that until we had caught up on our work at work, we could not afford time to be doing the journals. But, I miss it too much. And, although I could still be working at that work stuff ... it’s a Sunday within hours of Philly/Viking game and we’re a little too excited to be focusing on the hard stuff. God save our soul...

V says that there were people out tailgating in Philly since before 6 am this morning. Really made me feel like we should be lookin for a beer and steak. Eh, this be a dry house of late. Watching the piggy bank. But, there is news regarding financial expenditures this week. We decided finally to get cable. YAY!! Just got the basic service, but finding that it is pretty cool. Seems kind of silly to have been complaining about TV when all we were watching was network TV. *Sigh*

We’ll see in the long run if we can continue to afford it. Feels like I’m on the brink of leaving the low income to moderate income bracket to be affording cable. But, then there’s the realization that there is plenty of poor people who manage to afford cable. All is a matter of priority.

We’ve got really nothing critical to be saying of our life. Just some fluffy stuff. Been appreciating football a lot. Four out of the last six games our favorite team has one. But, I disqualify my talent in choosing teams. We’re still most often to pick teams due to our favorite Jerseys/helmets. Eh, we reserve the right to act female. Apology to those hard line girls who can keep up with the game.

Today we’re choosing the Eagles and the Patriots. We used to be a Vikings fan coming from MN, but the ties have died. Hmm, they are talking about Randy Moss on ESPN now. Have to admit he is a bit of a distraction. Thing is he’s still a great ball player and each adds their own unique element to the game. Let it go ... just stop making it a controversy.

Hmm, now they’re talking of Peyton Manning. They’re saying he is going to have to work hard to get to the Super Bowl, but they seem to like him pretty much. Seems like a mental battle to me. Don’t know much of his team. This is all pretty much new to me.

We saw a little a bit of the game with our friend yesterday. He didn’t seem as excited as we were. Think it was cuz he was getting his tummy rubbed. Hmm. Remember that next time. So much for getting some of our "deep" football questions answered.

Shoot, we’re being really distracted now ... keep turning around to watch the football entries. Wish I could say why. The first thought was that it was nice to hear the masculine voices in the house ... and I’m definitely not against a good derriere. Ahh McNab ... he sounds like a nice guy. With or without Terrel Owens. Figure Owens is like a ghost and if they get the ghost off the field they can make room for a new super star.

We moved our computer so that our back wasn’t lined up to the TV. I guess this big cable change means sharing our attention. I found a really nice site last week on the computer from NBA. They publish a depth screen showing all the different positions and players on both teams. That seemed to help us understand quite a bit.

Hmm, didn’t realize that ... whoever wins this one goes on to play Atlantic Falcons. Really liked their running game yesterday. Never seen something like that before. Ahh just seconds away now ... better refresh my drink. Get some ice water too!

Yeeks gottsta go!

If I was a football fan I'd pick the Patriots, but then again I'm a New England gal so I kind of have to pick them. There's the Giants and Jets, but.... well I like hockey better. They just happen to be in a lockout so I have to occupy my brain with something. Can't stand basketball..... :)
enjoy the cable, 57 plus channels and nothing on.
Have a great week!

My best advice to you as one of those hard line girls (LOL) is to watch the Steelers/Patriots match-up. If the Steelers of the regular season show up...this could be the fight of the play-offs. No one has any hope for the Eagle/Falcons to win the Bowl it seems.

Libby and I would like to see the Eagles win too but, I am afraid that they just don't have the power and "experience" that the patriots of recent years have. The teams are pretty well matched. The edge will be the prior experience of the New England team. My regards to you all, Bill.
