What Does a Scottsman Wear Under His Kilt?

I discovered the answer is compression shorts.....

I'm back home from visiting Momma down on Georgia. Love the jet lag and love sleeping on the couch. That is sarcasm, if you didn't pick up on it.

Here are a few photos from the Blairsville Scottish Festival that our family attended this past weekend.

Hot Lanta

As this posts, I should be hurling through the air headed towards Georgia. That is assuming Delta can make an on time departure. It is family reunion weekend at momma's house. This is something that ends up happening every year around spring or summer as everyone kinda decides to head to momma's house. The past few years it was due to the Tour deGeorgia bike race coming through my mom's town and this year its due to the Scottish Festival. Since I don't get much opportunity to see my brothers or nieces or nephews, I buy the expensive airplane ticket to ATL. I am packing light to avoid all the new checked baggage charges and I am bringing along a muffin for food.

In other news... the diet is back on track. I finally broke the 35 pounds lost barrier yesterday after being stalled between 30-35 pounds lost for about 2 months. Lets hope the abundance of sweet tea and good southern cookin' this weekend doesn't ruin the progress I made this week.

Wish me luck and talk to you when I get back.

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.
