Monday Morning Roll Call!

Gooooooodddd Monday Morning! Thought I'd start the day with an old-fashioned roll call. You remember those, right? The teacher would stand behind her desk, podium - (ok so I went to a private school) - and then she would pull out her olive green ATTENDANCE RECORD, her canary yellow #2 pencil and proceeded to call the roll. Ahem, so let's see who's present and who's sleeping it off, shall we?

Tarheels? PRESENT!!! This weekend's game against Duke was a battle of wills, grit and trash talkin'. Early on it was clear that we were in for a defensive fight - lead by Robert Quinn. But the Heels scored first blood with a beautiful field goal kick from #11 Casey Barth. There would be a 3 more of those kicks - a career-high 4 field goals! Let's not forget there was a touchdown courtesy of Jheraine Boyd, a crowd-pleasing (well the Carolina crowd anyway) INT caught by Charles Brown, Ryan Houston's career-high 164 yards rushing, Jon Cooper's offensive blocks, all culminating in a final score of UNC 19 - Duke 6!
 BlueDevils? - BlueDevils? - Absent. Hope you know this goes on your permanent record.
 Cowboys? PRESENT!!  Eagles?- Eagles? - Absent  Final score - Cowboys 20, Eagles 16
Panthers? Absent :( Saints? - Man, are they here or what? 8-0? Seriously???  Final score Saints 30, Panthers 20
Colts? PRESENT!! Another 8-0.  It was a come from behind sqeaker of a win - but hey a W's a W, right? Good job, Peyton. Texans? Absent. Final score Colts 20, Texans 17.

J-Fay? Baby Boi? Showtime? This is roll call!

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi
