Rob and I made our waty to FedEx Field in the cold rain on Sunday to watch my beloved Giants take on the Washington Foreskins, ahem, I mean Redskins!  We had awesome seats, about 13 rows up from the field, on one of the end zones.  These were, by far, the best seats that I've had to a Giants game.  The last time I went, I won tickets from a radio ( Read more... )

This year, Robert and I hosted Thanksgiving at my house.  I spent the week cleaning and primping the place, and Robert and I spent Wednesday night finalizing everything.  He was in charge of all the cooking, including all the prep work, and did amazing job!  Our guest list included Rob's grandparents, aunt Lynn, uncle Larry, Ryan (Rob's brother), ( Read more... )

Giants:  30

On Sunday, Rob and I headed over to BlackFinn Restaurant in Bethesda to watch the Giants game.  One of my Meetup groups is an Ex-New Yorkers Meetup group, and I am an assistant organizer in the group.  I organize and schedule the Giants related events for the group, so this season, I have decided to watch games at BlackFinn ( Read more... )

Robert, Michelle, and I headed over to IKEA last night for some after work shopping.  We made it there in pretty good time, considering the 495 beltway is always pretty hellish.  Our first stop was the restaurant to hit up some yummy Swedish Meatballs, because no IKEA trip would be complete without Swedish Meatballs.  After filling our bellies with ( Read more... )

• FOOTBALL, was there any doubt?
• Wearing my boyfriend's sweatshirts
• The changing colors of the leaves
• Fall Festivals

My best friend Michelle and her dog, Blue, moved in to my house over the weekend.  I, on the other hand, was helping Robert move into his new apartment, which happens to be the next building over.  On Saturday, Rob's brother, Ryan, and sister in-law, Erin, came over to help the move.  Ryan and Robert were troopers and moved all the heavy stuff all ( Read more... )

The Giants suffered their first loss in 7 games last night, falling to the Cleveland Browns.  It was also their first in 11 games to lose on the road.  I watched in disgust as the Giants came out faltering, and just continued to dwindle in performance.  I hate when fans say "my team didn't lose to the opponent, they lost to themselves."  I say, "my ( Read more... )

I am 29 years old and have no business shopping in the Junior's section anymore.  On the upside, I managed, for the first time in a long time, to get my plump ass into a few size 6 pants.

• I am the only person who is responsible for my happiness
• I am not perfect, but I am perfectly content with who I am
• My parents are not perfect either, they are also human, but they did the best that they could.  They instilled some great values in us, and  ended up raising 3 amazing kids, most especially the youngest ;-), and I can only hope that I ( Read more... )
