NFL Football observations

The Red Zone channel is actually football for the ADD.

Dear Tom Brady,

Dear Tom Brady,

I am so sorry that I was the cause of your injury last Sunday. I had no idea that my wearing a different pair of shorts last week would cause you to miss out on the entire season. Thank goodness I had my husband around to let me know that I was to blame. I have since put those shorts away as to not hurt anymore of our beloved Patriots. Please rest assured that we are not changing our dog's name to Cassel.

Your loyal fan,

Sandy D.

Thursday 13: thirteen yearbook pictures of me

So, I found a little something to keep me entertained-- here are 13 yearbook pictures of me.

where were you?

I am curious as to where my readers were on September 11, 2001. If you feel comfortable, please share your memories of that day.

12 step program averted

Blackberry is SAVED!!! Whoo Hoooo--- I guess the water part just had to dry out. Anyway, but the time Mr. D. came to pick me up to go and buy the new Blackberry, this one just happened to come on.... talk about a presidential pardon. I am not sure if it is a total recovery, but so far I have received a call, and can text. I haven't received any emails, but that may be that I just haven't gotten any to receive. Who knows..... I am just glad --- OK that was weird, I just typed this and my phone started chiming with emails-- 34 to be exact!! Guess I am back in business!!

I am excommunicated

I killed Blackberry--- my beloved companion.
As a result, no one can get in touch with me. I am so sad.

recap

I hope I have not totally lost all of my readers by my lack of blogging as of late. I apologize- yet again for being a total slacker. Here is a recap. We went on vacation with Mr. D.'s family.

I always enjoy going to the mountains. We had wonderful weather and fun with each other. It is rare that all 4 of the siblings and their spouses/significant others are together for a long period of time- but whenever it does happen it is always fun! We went shopping, played at the lake, played a lot of Wii-- which I love to do! I learned to play a new card game, which I would love to play again. We ate great food and enjoyed each other's company.

When we got back, Mr. D and I started a busy week. Even thought this week was only 4 working days, we felt like it was a very long week and by last night, we were exhausted.

I did something this week that I have never done before-- I drafted a fantasy football team. I am not really "in to" football, but my coworkers started a league, so I joined. I will have to tune into the games tomorrow and see how my players did. Here is who is on my team, and on my bench.

1. Payton Manning
2. Steve Jackson
3. Jamal Lewis
4. Ronnie Brown
5. Calvin Johnson
6. Chad Johnson
7. Tony Gonzalez
8. Colts Defense
9. Neil Rackers
10. Chris Cooley
11. Matt Schaub
12. Patrick Crayton
13. Benjamin Watson
14. Eagles Defense
15. Justin Fargas
16. Rian Lindell
    

On vacation, my Mother-in-law gave me the most incredible gift ever. It is a market tote. We all got to choose one. Mine is the blue one of course. I took it to school this week with all of my things in it. I got so many compliments on it. I love it!!!

In addition to the fabulous Market Tote, my MIL also sent these beautiful flowers. Love them!

Mr. D. and I had a special guest to the house this morning. I made my friend Beth's peach biscuits. I of course have only made a good biscuit one time, so I made these in a muffin tin instead. They were delicious!

Speaking of entertaining, tomorrow is the first Sunday of the NFL season. Mr. D. is pumped about it. Here is a picture of Brady already assuming the football position.

We are having a few friends over and I will be making gumbo and shrimp po boys. I am very excited about this. I have been thinking about it all day today and can hardly wait. Oh- and speaking of good things I have cooked- I have made the bread with the bread starter. I took it to the mountain and Meredith and I made super yummy cinnamon rolls.

I think this has you all caught up. Sorry if I left anything out. If I think of anything I will update you later. Enjoy the weekend.
