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!

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT) http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing. It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy. How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time) Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
