Sweet Tea

Well, we lost the football game. Bummer. It was so cold and windy up on the upper deck where we sat, that we only lasted until the end of the 3rd quarter. Tech was down by over 2 touchdowns at that point so I don't think we missed much.

Have I told y'all how much I love sweet tea. Sweet southern nectar. Yummy! I am getting my fill of the stuff while here cause you don't find the sweet stuff up in Seattle.

Will head home tomorrow. It's been fun as always visiting mom.

Football Finale

I am in Georgia visiting mom for Thanksgiving and today is the final day of the week of Football Craziness I mentioned in my last post.

Today is the Good 'ol Fashioned Hate game. The Georgia vs. Ga Tech game.
UGA is ranked 8th in the nation at 9-2 and I would love nothing more than knocking them down a rank or two by upsetting them today. However, my Ga Tech team is not quite up to par this year, so I am not expecting miracles. For me, this game is more about enjoying it with my mom who has never been to a Ga Tech vs. UGA game and she is very excited about this. It should be fun no matter the end score.

In other news, I love spending my mom's money. :-) Mom wanted some new furniture, so we visited a few local furniture stores and got mom a new leather couch and matching large chair, a recliner chair that isn't from the same set, but matches in color, and a new queen bed and mattress. We grew up with mis-matched and often contrasting colored furniture so it will be nice for mom to have new and matching living room furniture. Mom also wants a new small TV for her bedroom, so that is next on the shopping agenda.... after the game though.

Hope y'all are having a splendid holiday. Safe travele everyone!

Football Craziness

This next week, I think I will be overdosing on Football.

First, this Sunday, I am headed to a Seattle Seahawks football game versus the Chicago Bears. I have only ever been to one other professional football game in my life and that was ions ago back in Atlanta. And we sat in the nosebleed section of the old Fulton Co. Stadium. Yeah, it was that long ago.

So, tomorrow, I will be in Row 2 courtesy of a co-worker friend of mine and long-time Seahawk season ticket holder. YAY! I Can't wait. I am hoping the weather gets better than the gray, miserable, rainy day we are having today.

Later in the week, I will be joining the hoards of travelers heading home for Thanksgiving. The joy! Yup, I am headed back to mom's house in Georgia. Maybe I can take some of the rain we are having here back with me. Lord know, they need it. On Saturday, I will be attending the awesome GA Tech vs. Georgia game courtesy of my mom who is a long-time season ticket holder. This game... huge, long-time rivalry. GA Tech isn't having the best of years football-wise, so I am not expecting a win, but it would be nice.

It will also be nice to see mom again and hang with her for the long weekend. Plus, not work for 2 days, so you know, always a bonus.
