Guess I shudda taken a left at Albuquerque!

I'm off to Albuquerque today! I'm headed to The Land of Enchantment to watch my CSU Rams do battle with the Fresno St. Bulldogs. The game is on Saturday at 12:30 PM Mountain time on ESPN (watch...look for me!). This will be the 3rd bowl game that I have traveled to, I went to the Holliday Bowl in 1997 and watched CSU beat Missouri and in 1999 I went to Memphis to watch the Rams lose to Southern Miss. This year's matchup against Fresno is going to be a tough game, they seem to be a good team. The Rams success will hinge on their running game, and supposedly Fresno has some injuries to their Defensive line. Regardless, I'll be there screaming my head off along with my partner in crime....Nick. Nick's wife called me up around Thanksgiving and said she wanted to surprise Nick with the trip, so for the better part of a month she and I plotted and planned this secret trip. We sprang the news to him on Wednesday night, she even went behind his back and got him the day off on Friday for traveling...he had no idea! It was great! If you were to record that conversation, you could play it and use it as an example of the definition of flabbergasted. He was so surprised, I couldn't tell if he was crying, or just on the verge of it. In my mind I'm going to run with the idea that he was bawling his eyes out, but trying to hide it in a manly manner!

Hopefully the two of us won't be returning on Sunday with the same crying but trying to cover it up reaction from the game! Tune in and see!!!

Guitar Hero

So I commented a while back that Guitar Hero is my new favorite. Well I am still lovin me some Guitar Hero. The way it works is the game plays a song and a pattern of colored dots flows along the bottom of the screen. You try to push the corresponding button on the guitar controller in time with the colored dot. Anyway, there are slow/ easy songs and very fast crazy finger flying songs. I found this comic somewhere and it seriously made me laugh....if I was drinking anything at the time I read it I would have snarfed it out through my nose, that's how hard I laughed. I think it is a serious sign that I'm a GH addict!

Fantasy Football bust

This past weekend was the first round of the playoffs for fantasy football. 2 of my 3 teams made it to the championship bracket, and both teams bit the dust HARD! In my league of former work friends from Rochester I got whooped so bad it is embarrassing. In my defense two of my top running backs were injured, that never helps. In my league of friends and family, I lost to my best friend Nick. I beat him in the championship game last season, so I suppose I can at least feel good that he may go on to win it all next weekend. I still hate to lose though!

Breakfast with Santa

We went to Breakfast with Santa this morning, here are some pictures to enjoy!

Cool Quote

This came from the December 9th episode of The Biggest Loser. I think it is a pretty powerful quote for anybody who has ever fought the battle of the bulge, or simply tried to lose a few pounds. Anyway, here it is:

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
