Big Game

Although there was serious hype surrounding the Colts/Patriots game the other week, the big one of the year in the DC area is the Redskins vs. Cowboys. Despite Dallas’ win Sunday, I will admit the Redskins looked really good. I was flipping between John’s NASCAR race (with 4 laps left) and the game (with 4 minutes left). The Redskins were marching down the field. It was one of those “I can’t watch” moments. I chose to stay with the (uneventful) race, figuring 4 minutes in a football game usually lasts 15 minutes and the race would be over sooner than that. I was a little sad for the ‘Skins. Glad my team won, but to me, it looked like the Redskins played their asses off and deserved to walk away with a win. If it weren’t for that pesky interception with only a few minutes to go...

I haven’t paid much attention this year, but it seems Terrell Owens hasn’t been spewing a lot of crap in the press. He did say, in his post-game interview with big head Pam Oliver, that he still doesn’t get any respect. Just shut up and play!

Not much else going on. John’s a little under the weather. Had pizza Friday night with William and Freddy. We hadn’t seen Freddy since Halloween! Saturday was just a bit of shopping. We went to the ginormous beer/wine/liquor store near us and it was very crowded. I like looking at the microbrew singles -- lots of funny beer names. We stopped at the new Tuesday Morning store in Four Corners before dinner at my parents’ on Saturday night. It’s amazing how neatly organized everything is -- it helps being a new store and all! The one in Laurel is a big mess, but I also think it’s in a smaller space than some of the others.

I’m looking forward to a very short work week and TURKEY at the sibling-in-laws. So glad I took Friday off. Not to shop, but to prepare for Turkey Part Deux. We’re heading to Leonardtown for the weekend. It seems like forever since we were last there! Hope everyone has a safe and fun Thanksgiving!
