The "Tamer" Parts of the Trip.

Well, you’ve of course already heard about the most, um, “interesting” part of our trip, but in addition to our Dragon*Con adventures, we had a completely packed-with-activity Atlanta weekend. We stayed at Twelve Hotel this year, and in spite of their apparent naming chosen by a Twelve Year Old Boy (besides the name of the […]

Football + Me: The Origins.

We are having a “Score For Your Team Football Carnival” at Alabama Bloggers, and I’ve got to make sure and get my point in for Alabama! And if you participate, you are entered into a giveaway to win one of TEN free lunches from my favorite restaurant, Zoës Kitchen!!! I have not been a football […]

The Season of Football. It Fast Approaches.

To any neighbors passing by our driveway Sunday night, I’m sure it appeared as if Chris was in the doghouse: Yes, in fact, he WAS watching TV in the driveway, extension-corded to the max. But I didn’t kick him out – I promise! He was out, on his own accord, putting the finishing touches onto […]

Tailgating, Baby Waiting, Orange Stores and More!

It’s basically June now, which means that it’s only three months until football season. Which means, of course, that my husband’s mind is filled with grand plans and lofty ideas about tailgating and ballgaming. Every year he adds something new to his Alabama Football “experience”. Last year it was a small(-ish) flat screen TV. Because […]

Ice and Football Shouldn’t Go Together.

I am not a football crazie, nor do I think I ever will be. I realized this my first season of football attendance, 1999, at the Alabama/Auburn game. I had literally slept during SEVERAL of the games that season already because I didn’t even have a clue what a first down was. So besides my […]

Her Preposterous Luck is Spreading.

So you remember that Ali won $50 on a football squares game, despite the fact that I’ve never won in the decade that I’ve done Alabama Football with Chris, right? Well, she won again tonight. AND it was double the money. $100. AND her Daddy won the final, another $100. They swept the board. So […]

Football, Sticky Insides, and Bizarrity

Today was the Alabama/Kentucky game. I had major trouble focusing becausea) I really think it was a boring game (or at least for a non-die-hard-fan), andb) I was soooooooo sleepy. I am pretty positive that the reason for my sleepiness was this:Yes, last night, Chris and I had a FABULOUS meal at The Melting Pot […]

odds and ends

I have random things on my mind, and instead of making them all into separate posts, you get a three chapter post. Chapter 1. Surgery:I had my appointment with the surgeon this morning, and he was great. He was very nice and filled with explanations of why I needed to go ahead and have the […]

Seeing Red?

Here’s the new field design they were testing out yesterday to help the fans get hyped up about the Crimson Tide. . .What do you think?
