Sunday Night Football 2013!

Tomorrow, I will be at FRIGID Gillette Stadium to watch NE Patriots take on a very strong team, led by Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos!

This was a highly anticipated game because in the off season, my main man, WES WELKER, decided he would jump ship & go to Denver for an extra $2 million! 

I'm a loyalty fan & was impressed that Tom Brady had taken a pay CUT to stay on a winning team! I am unimpressed that Welker did not!

Granted, the Broncos are doing very well this year & may go to the Super Bowl, but I continue to feel bruised by the Welkers move. I blame his agent mostly.

But back to tomorrow nights game... Welker may not play!! He suffered a mild concussion in last weeks game & may not be cleared to play! BooHoo!

I will still find something to cheer about though! I'm learning the names of the young players who are starting to step it up!

I will be dressed in many layers as the predicted temperature with the wind chill factor is supposed to be in single digits. Staying at a hotel after the game to avoid traffic. Last year, we didn't get home until 5am! Yes, I said 5 AM! 

Foxboro, here I come! In my new Jeep w/built-in GPS!

Plans For Turkey Day

Our 2013 Thanksgiving Dinner plans are interesting, for certain!

C & her significant other, G, will be preparing the dinner, minus our assignment of mashed potatoes, at the home of G's father in Brentwood! It'll be our 1st time meeting G's Dad.

Yes, I did say C & G will be cooking the turkey! 

Since she'll be texting me w/questions, it'll be like I'm right there with her, right?

She's growing up so fast! A senior @ SNHU, a key holder @ the store she works for & excels @ her RA position which she has held for 3 years now! C has accomplished everything she has put her mind up to do! Cooking a Thanksgiving feast is her next goal & I believe she will be successful!

Pie is being served @ 3pm in Acton @ the home of B's sister, K. Then, it's off to our traditional Thanksgiving movie! Title of movie has yet to be decided! hint, hint!

New Territories

Beware! A cat situation update is forthcoming!

The violent fighting has abated. The unworldly sounding yowls have ceased. They share a few common areas now, usually if food, water or favorite people are in the area.

Other than that, my cats have little to do with each other.

Gracie has staked out upstairs as "her space" while Zee has the basement. I have not seen Gracie venture into the basement in weeks! She is very cautious as she passes the basement door, acting as though someone is about to jump out at her!

Zee is still... Zee! Carefree, looking for attention/petting & seems to have accepted Gracie is different & has no desire to play. She'd love a C visit! Gracie growls if Zee gets too much in her space, but it's a short growl & Zee does back off.

So thats where we stand. 

No, Gracie hasn't returned to sleeping next to me but she will sit near me & Zee on the sofa! 

On another note...

Thanks Ray! 

My friends S & G lent me their talented dad to install a replacement storm door which had blown off its hinges 2 winters ago! Awesome job & B helped him. Ray also power washed our deck, sanded it & sealed it with weatherproofing stain! Thanks again!
