Oh Yeah, I Know How to Pick 'Em

The last few weeks, my football picks have been less-than-stellar. I'd dropped down to 4th place among my co-workers, from a high of 1st place after the first week. This week, I didn't even bother to print off my picks and bring them home with me. It's been too sad keeping track at home of my losses.

So, imagine my surprise this morning when I logged in and saw...I picked 11 of 12 games on Sunday correctly! My only mistake was trusting that my hometeam, the Vikings, wouldn't let me down. I should give Scott some credit...he convinced me that maybe Miami was not the upset I wanted to pick.

One more game tonight: Denver v. Green Bay. I'm going with the Packers right now, but there's still time to change my pick.

In knitting news, here's the details on Dad's Sweater, as well as a picture of the back.

Good for you on your football picks! I never could follow a football game, but (being a displaced native) I'm loving Boston's winning streak...go Patriots, and Red Sox!

Report from the RNC

In the end, I couldn't resist the pull of thousands of suited Republicans in St. Paul and D and I headed downtown last night to check things out. Actually, that's a lie. What compelled me down there was my support of St. Paul business. The Pioneer Press reported yesterday on how dismal business was for some of the restaurants and shops around the convention. I figured, "Well, if the Republicans won't eat there, I WILL!" After work we headed to Cosetta's . As you can see...definite lack of Republicans. They were all outside on the street. I have to say, in my Ravelry t-shirt and Chacos, I felt a little out of place. This is as close as we could get to the Excel Energy Center. It looks like the city is on lockdown. While we were just standing around, Sean Hannity passed right by us. I've never watched a day of Fox News in my life, so I would not have known this if someone nearby had not pointed him out. Then I snapped pictures like a good blogger. We then

I Need a New Word for "Perfect"

Image
I just spent what can only be described as quite possibly one of the most perfect weekends of my life, thus far. I'm racking my brain trying to think of a weekend that has felt more "right" and I just can't. I think this was one of those rare life moments where everything comes together to create contentment. A perfect blend of good food, friendly strangers, physical and mental activity, and a person to travel with that makes you happy. David and I spent the weekend in Lanesboro, MN and thereabouts. We loaded up our bikes, and in my case, way too much other stuff and headed out of town. How is it that I can pack so light for a 10 day trip to Ireland, but when I head 2 hours south, I pack as though I am leaving home for an indefinite period of time? We arrived in Lanesboro in the rain. We ducked in to the Pedal Pushers Cafe where we had the coffee and pie special for $1.99. Chocolate cream pie. Yum! I drew this lovely picture. If you look closely, you will

You Know He's the One When...

...he makes amazing sandwiches with pepperjack cheese. ...he puts oregano in his scrambled eggs...or is it dill? ...he asks you to teach him to knit so he can make a hat for his new niece. ...he sets up your bike computer. ...he lets your nephew pretend he is a cow and feed him imaginary hay. ...he shows you how to use Excel so you can figure out just how painful it will be to pay off your student loans before you're 40. ...he Tivo's your favorite shows for you since you don't have cable. ...he likes your family. ...you like his family. ...he's the calm to your sometimes not-so-calm self. ...he puts up with your singing. ...he enjoys things like visiting the SPAM museum, taking a Segway tour of Minneapolis, and learning to make sushi. ...he's teaching you how to do flip turns in the pool. ...he loves your laugh. ...he gets down on one knee and gives you this...
