Oh well...

Watching that game last night was painful. We had our chances (too many), but just didn't bring our A-game.
I don't think the Giants are the better team, but last night they sure were. So in that case, they deserved to move on.

It's a bummer, but life goes on. It really is only a game.

The Pack does have a lot to be proud of this season, and they accomplished a lot for being the youngest team in the NFL. Who would've thought they would've made it this far in the first place?

Thanks for another great season of memories, Packers!

Crazy Couple Weeks

On Thursday I completed my first HOLA! (Hispanic Outreach Library Action) Project, that took place in Wausau. It went very well! But because of the storm, I didn't get back into town until Friday. Tomorrow I leave for a week-long tech conference in Orlando, which I do not mind one bit with these cold temps now here. But it's made for a crazy time!

Go Pack Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Pack Go!

What an AMAZING weekend of football!
Saturday's game was awesome, but I think the Giants winning last night was even better. I can't believe the NFC Championship will be played at Lambeau! We had a GREAT time tailgating at the Lambeaulance (although I paid for it yesterday a little bit).

The buzz is in the air, and the whole town just feels so electric.
I truly love football season!

Giving up on "Grey's"

Yup, you heard me. I'm giving up.

In the first season, I watched "Grey's Anatomy" because it followed "Desperate Housewives." I liked it enough to keep watching it.
In season two, I liked it a lot, and enjoyed it more than DH.
In season three, I still liked it enough that I followed it to its new Thursday night time slot.
In season four, I'm to the point where I'll watch something else. The Office. Something on CBS. Anything.

I haven't been as faithful of a viewer this season, I will admit, but I'm just tired of it.
I'm tired of Meredith and McDreamy and their will-they-won't-they-get-together thing they have going on. Enough already.
I'm tired of Meredith being mean to her half-sister, Lexie, although last night she was nice and made her breakfast.
I'm tired of George eavesdropping on conversations.
I'm tired of George and Izzie, not even together. I am not fond of either of them.
I'm tired of Izzie and Christina's constant spats (when did these two start hating each other anyway?).
I'm tired of seeing Callie feel hurt and loathing in self pity. Her character and acting skills are not being utilized to its fullest potential.
I'm tired of Alex always being a jerk.
I'm tired of Bailey not being as tough as she used to be.

I miss Addison. I miss Burke. I miss the story lines that kept me coming back for more each week.
There's just nothing there to keep me coming back.

She Found Me!

I opened my inbox this morning to find a wonderful surprise!
My college friend, Amy, sent me an email, asking if she had the right address. She sent me a Christmas card LAST year, and being the dum-dum that I am, I lost the card, which also contained her new email, address and phone number. She got married in the fall of 2006 and moved with her husband to Columbus, IN - a city of about 40,000 about 45 minutes south of Indianapolis. I didn't make it to her wedding, and the Christmas card was the last I had heard from her.

Until now! I've missed her very much, so hopefully we can start reconnecting.
Yay!

Rain go away, come again some other day!

I will take the warmer temps, though. :)

Things to NOT Say to the Single Gal in Her 30s (and Probably Beyond...)

1) It's his loss.
Oh, really? Then why am I the one who feels like a pile of doo-doo????

2) If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be.

Do I get a Popsicle or gold star for at least trying?

4) Why aren't you married yet?
Geez, I dunno. Why don't we ask the single, greater-Green Bay male population?

Because I'd like to be married first.

7) Auntie Jamie, well then why aren't you married?
See # 4.

8) You're too picky.
Well you know what? I'm smart, funny, sassy, educated, independent, ambitious, well-traveled, fun and devastatingly attractive, so sue me and my big butt for not wanting or waiting for the same!

9) I would set you up with _____, but I like you too much, and you're too good for him.
Wait a minute...I thought I was too picky? Now I'm TOO good?

Actually, I can.
