No Thanksgiving Football Miracle

A&M lost. :( I do have to admit that I thought tu would pull 60+ points but it ended up 49-9. Still bad but not as bad as I really thought. I got mad at the amount of flags A&M got. Seriously guys, those were stupid mistakes!!! Michelle was very sweet and didn't completely rub it in. Her last text was "You know I love you, but...". Yeah, I know.....

So now onto next season. We will come back, like a phoenix from the ashes, we will compete with the OUs, Texas', and Tech's. While it is nice to see the Big 12 South dominate the top 10, I would like A&M to be a part of it. Gig Em Aggies!!!!!

The food was awesome yesterday. My "friend" even said that my pumpkin pie was probably the best he ever tasted. It was pretty dang good. I love making Pumpkin Pie.... it is very easy to make and can be used to impress :). My Cooking Light recipes were very good as well. I have now found a great source of goodness. I did have some sink issues (clogged kitchen sink on Thanksgiving is probably not the best news there is! But hey, I still had water... I just have to wait to do dishes until tomorrow night.). I need to go to bed now. It is way too late (or early, depending on your perspective. He, he).

Bye for now.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

I am briefly on to say hi and Happy Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad are coming here for dinner and I have 2 more dishes to prepare. Just did the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie was made last night. Cooking Light Magazine has some great recipes -- I am using 3 of them this year. Goat Cheese Mashed potatoes. Oh my goodness, they are heaven. I don't think I used enough Goat Cheese though, but they still taste good. I am resisting the urge to nosh on them before the parents get here :).

Anyway, everyone have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving! And NOW we can start thinking about Christmas! And go Aggies!!! The A&M/tu game has been moved back to Thanksgiving and I am happy about that. My entire college career, we had that game Thanksgiving. I am not sure why they moved it -- but glad its back! Okay, now, let me clear things up.... I know we have had a challenging year, to say the least. But maybe, by some Thanksgiving miracle, we can pull an upset. Maybe....... I am just expecting us to show up to the game and show some Aggie pride. :). I will be rooting for my team though.

Back to cooking. Love it!!!

Top Chef!

Okay, so I was wanting to sew during Project Runway and now Top Chef is back on! I am going to be in a serious cooking mood soon. I recorded the season premiere and I am watching it now. Hopefully I can get into it and the new chefs. They are in NY and I am loving the backdrop of the show! I miss NY. I think it will take me a few shows to get my favorites in mind. It always takes a few episodes.

That is all. It is close to midnight (and something evil's lurking in the dark).... oh sorry, I channeled "Thriller" there for a second. Anyway, I really need to think about going to sleep now!

:(

Okay, I didn't expect A&M to actually beat OU. But, 3rd Quarter and OU is ahead 52 to 14. I guess to good news is that we scored....... It isn't over yet. I just expect more carnage now. Be nice Sooners. I rooted for you against Texas. (A&M just scored. 52 to 21. It was a beautiful run too!!!). Now, we might not pull off an upset -- but still watching and rooting for my Ags. There is talent there. We have to rebuild! As long as we stay somewhat proportionate to their growing score, I will be happy. GIG EM Aggies!!!

Has anybody watched "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" on Bravo? I avoided TRHW of Orange County and New York. But I have gotten SUCKED into these Atlanta Housewives. The drama is amazing. I highly doubt these ladies actually represent real Housewives anywhere. But it is such mind candy, I can't look away. They are replaying the marathon on Bravo today and I flipped over during halftime. Its a trainwreck. It's over the top. And it is kind of fun.

Well, f***. In the time I started this post, OU scored a few more times. 66 to 21 now. Still 3rd Quarter. I might need to hit my mind candy for a few minutes......

Everyone have a great Saturday.

Word of Advice

So, when you are changing the litter boxes and you must take a break from this task for a brief moment, you should put the lid back on the bucket of Fresh Step (or whatever brand you are using). If you don't, you shouldn't be surprised when your little one decides that he wants to use this very fresh litter to pee. Even when there is a completely clean litter box just inches away in the bathroom.

I haven't laughed that hard in a few days.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Vote!

You are going to read it everywhere, so no big long speech about it. I just voted and it feels pretty dang awesome. I swear, there is something about putting that ballot in the machine. I was going to do it this morning and the line was super long. Now, I don't mind the lines for voting, but I would have been waiting outside, in heals, and really, this is no time to be a martyr. I knew I could get off early, go back home, change into sweats for the wait. I had no wait, 5 minutes, in and out. I can guess though that the line will get longer as people get off work. But who cares. This is our right and responsibility as an American Citizen. This is our voice. I just heard that 537 votes decided the election in 2000. So, if you don't think your vote counts, you are wrong. (Did I say at the beginning I wasn't going to do a speech? well, I said long speech, so.... :)).

Have a great day!
