My Future Husband

Okay, I dont normally watch football. In fact I probably havent watched much of it since the '70s when the Raiders were on top. But, I couldnt help myself tonight. When you combine a hottie like Tom Brady (a San Mateo native by the way!) and a possible undefeated season...how could I resist! The Patriots pulled it out in the fourth quarter for a 38-35 victory and are now 16-0! Only one other team (the 1972 Dolphins) have ever accomplished this. Is Tom superman or what?!

The Countdown to 2008 Begins...

We only have 2 days until 2008 arrives. Tick...tick....tick.... Time to jot down all the things you want to acomplish in the new year and also a great time to look back on all your accomplishments of the past year. Im sure there are more than you realize!

Amber Alert Over

Okay, I have to apologize to my friends and family. Since my brothers birthday I have been missing a brand new bathing suit top. I was SURE that I left it some place that I visited (you all probably know who you are). I was also sure that none of them were putting any effort into finding my lost top! I could just picture them sitting on the couch snacking on something while they talked to me on the phone, "Um, yeah, Ive looked everywhere and I just cant find it!"

Well the other day I was pulling out some of my party decorations and, ugh hummm.., there in the garbage bag that has been sitting in the back of my closet since August, along with some fake Ivy was my top! What the heck????

So, I apologize to you all for thinking that you were secretly not finding my top on purpose!

Now, I just need to find out who put it in that bag??? ;)
