It's Already Over Now...
Friday, December 19, 2008
Ya know what I love?
- The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They each do such wonderful things and I see them working in different ways.
- My family. Immediate and extended. I love the funny dads (or daD), goofy brothers, giggly sisters, cocky cousins, crazy uncles, and all and everything in between!
- My church. AHBC. Everyone there is like family - you can talk theology one minute, argue song lyrics and football teams the next. Start out with Bible study, and end on the time when a mouse ran out from under the dresser. Laugh or cry as needed. Great people, great pastor, and I love every part of it there!
- My friends. They call me on the phone if I don't live near them. We can laugh and cry together. We can talk about everything!
- Books. God gave me approximately... (quick count) 7 unread books to read at once. It has been so much fun being swamped with books after a dry spell!!!
- The Colts. And so does God. Love the Colts, that is:)
- Christmas food. It's good stuff.
- Time to run on the treadmill and burn off all the Christmas food. Which... I have not had in about a week and definitely will not have tomorrow... dear, dear.
It's fun to love! And Christmas brings love to the very top of you! Love, you people! LOVE!!!!

Happy Birthday Toria!!!!!
We watch a football game together (the WHOLE thing) - and the Colts beat the Patriots!!! Whoo-hoo!!! The whole time, we are eating...
I'm not sure who ends up freaking out more... I think me. Even though I ASKED them to come. But the only reason I invited Brett to come was so he could personally apologize to us for lying, then betraying Green Bay. But he does remember to tell you happy birthday through my screaming in his face. But Peyton has a good time:)
We've got to go. We'll take Peyton with us cuz he's going anyway - the Superbowl beckons. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!! If Peyton's with us, it means he's NOT playing at the Superbowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arg. Make it the NFC Championship. Yeah. That's much better. Whew. We fly to Giants Stadium where Eli is warming up. He's playing da BEARS. We enter our VIP locker room passes so you can wish Eli good luck before the game, and Meggy can run to the Bears locker room and get the autographs of Brian Urlacher, Devin Hester, and Matt Forte and personally thank the latter for getting her into the FFL playoffs. (Hey, it's an excuse not to take a shotgun to Hixon, right?) Ok, to the box seats. They have great food. The president's up there too. Hello Mr. President with the reflexes of a puma!:P Who else is there... ah, hi Reggie Wayne!!!!!! You rock. WHAT??? FAVRE???? How'd you find us????? Ok, you can sit in the back far away from us as long as you cheer for Giants.
He seems pleased with himself, don't he? Alright, the game's starting!!!!!
4 hours later, after the Giants victory, we go down to the locker room again and Eli gets the chance to talk to us again. Lucky guy:P
He and Peyton even throw some with us and the rest of our lives we'll be able to say we caught passes from the Mannings. We get a whole book of autographs, and you get me out of there fast before I murder Hixon.
Well, I haven't given you a present yet! Here's what I got for you...
Lotsa land for your ZOO!!!!!!! Course it needs some work, but there's plenty of time for all that.
Well, my plane's about to leave and I must go home. But I hope you had a wonderful blog party dearest, and your REAL present is on it's way. *sigh* this was a lovely party. Someday I shall come up and we shall do all those things! Well, some of those things:)

Thanksgiving stuff!!!!
For the record, here's a math equation that all should memorize:
It was funny until we had to clean up 4 broken glass balls. BUT, the tree stands as I type - Taggs are NOT to be defeated by a combination of destructive persons and greenery!!!:P
Presently we all headed over to the cousins' house in Colorado Springs!!! Aunty Mich made AWESOME food like this:
YUM! It was so yum! And guess what? My aunt doesn't cook! But now she is a pro turkeyer!!!!:D
Some of us had some fun on the trampoline...
(This is a totally cool pic or the totally cool cuz Potato doing a totally cool flip)
and some of us watched the stinkin Dallas game and played Madden.
(Dad and Mace. Dad won! Hahahahahaha!)
Here's the entire Thanksgiving gang! A weensey smaller than usual... it's minus Grandma and Grandpa (in FL), Unc Steve (in TX), and the Post gang (somewhere... not in CS:P)
All in all, it was one of the funnest Thanksgivings we've ever had! Hope everyone else had a great day (like us), had a lot to be thankful for (like us), had a lot of great food (like us), and that at least someone was happy with the outcome of the football games (not like us):P

When Taggs and Soccer Studs come together... this is how it's done.
Yup, that's Kyle the BeckerMAN. He's too cool. In this one he's hittin Jess's hand in the light blue.
Then they come onto the field holding a Real Salt Lake player's hand!!!! I got video, but it's not here. But J-dude was holding Nat Borchers's hand (Denfender) and I'm not sure who Jess got. I was kinda bummed that they didn't get a player they knew on the Rapids, but it was ok. Here they were, courtesy of my dad, who had the wrong camera lens - hence the farawayness:
YAY!!!!
YAY some more!!!
Our National Anthem, which I was too busy getting in my seat and being excited to pay any attention to...:P
THEN...
They ran off. But the fun had literally just begun - the GAME was starting!!!! The only thing was that Christian Gomez didn't play, and he's my fave on the the Rapids. But it was ok. We were winning 1 to nuthin at the half, and I - heheh - wanted the Rapids to win, but I knew Real Salt Lake was awesome too. Sticks and I rushed to our spot to high-five players as they came back out. Snagged more Real Salt Lake guys. But the RAPIDS came out next!!!!!!! And even better... slowly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom McManus (yes the man himself) high-fives screaming girls with vigor. Terry Cooke and Colin Clark didn't even look at the twenty people yelling and holding out desperate hands:( But that was ok... cuz in everyone's disappointment, I looked up and saw coming down the steps... "GOMEZ!!!!!!!!!!" Yeah I hollered real good, and everybody else started up too. Christian Gomez kinda walked slow and didn't look at us a whole lot, leaning toward the far side where we couldn't reach him. But we yelled all the louder, and he smiled, shrugged and ran down the line again, high-fiving everybody. THAT was the coolest thing, cuz he rocks even more than Beckerman!!!! Ok, maybe not. Well - yeah he does!!!... Alright, it's a tie... no, I dunno... point is: they are both amazing and my hand was dripping with muy famousa soccer-player germs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!
Hate to spoil things now... but the game ended at a tie and the Rapids needed a win to go to the playoffs, and... their season is done:( BUT that's ok!!!!! Because we had a big blast at the game, and got pictures, and free stuff, the boys got to keep their awesome light blue jerseys, and Sticks and I got to high-five awesome soccer guys. I bet God had fun watching us have all that fun - he tends to do that:)
Peace out!!!:D

Who's Hot and Who's NOT!!!
We all know this guy - ever since the good Lord created the football, he's been kicking them every which way. But that may be about 3 years too long for Gramatica. What with the groin injury and after Monday's game, he should know to be honorably retiring - if not now, as soon as their season is over.
Who's Through #2 - Kurt Warner
Who's Through #3 - The Detroit Lions
Sad, but true. All I have to say is maybe next season.
No explanation needed! This RB has been rocking the NFL ever since he stepped foot into it's fair realm - and he's just getting warmed up!
Who's Only Just Begun #2 - The New York Giants
You got it! The whole team of them. Even with the retirement of Michael Strahan and the injury of Umienyora, this defense has been for the most part, impenetrable. And don't even get me started talking about the offense! Brandon Jacobs is an amazing rusher, and Eli Manning's passing has been amazing with only 1 interception this year. They've been scoring an average of 31.75 every single game - no baseball scores this season folks! The Giants are still on top, and are out to prove to a cynical America that Super Bowl XLII was NOT a fluke.

Blog Party!!!
Gorgeous huh? Well, anyway, what do they have for food around here...

Expert Analysis
Sticks Picks: The Chicago Bears. He's not guessing - he's 100% sure. With coach Lovie Smith at the helm and a new starting QB, the Bears look more explosive and seem to want it more already this season. But the big reason for the pick - Lovie Smith is a good Christian coach, and there's no way he can't win a big one doing it God's way. ESPECIALLY when Tony Dungy believes that the Bears will get a set of purty rings!!! Their current state: 1-1. Two pretty good games.
Meggy T picks: The New York Giants. It took her awhile to pick, but these guys are looking loaded this season. Even after the last Superbowl win, they are not getting any attention, nor are they expected to repeat. Meggy's reasoning is: "WHY NOT?" Despite Umienyora, the Giants have shown the world that they are a good team, and the fact is, they are STILL a good team and they're STILL proving it! Their current state: 2-0, and both games won with pretty big scoring margins.
