2008 New England vs San Francisco...Especially for Dee

Today in football we are going back to the 2008 season of the New England Patriots. A season that started off in the worst possible way. In the first game of regular season our beloved quarterback was injured and little did we know at the time but was going to be out for the season. Oh my...what we will do without Tom Brady? Into the game walks Matt Cassell. A QB that has never played a regular season game. Well there goes our season. Oh little did we know, how Matt would step up to the plate and have such an incredible season. Today I am featuring pictures from the game against San Francisco. Why you may ask am I bringing up a game from 2008? Well because I have this friend named Dee...I met him over at www.myfitnesspal.com and he is a die hard for his 49ers! That poor chap! Let's get to the pictures, shall we?


In the above picture you see Randy Moss. Oh Randy. How we love to hate our Randy. Well not ours anymore, but in 2008 he was. Tom and Randy were in sync with each other. How would he do with Cassel? He did what Moss does. He rocked!


Oh and here we see the now beloved Matt Cassel. Who after this season went to be the starting QB for the Kansas City Chiefs. WTG Matt! You did us proud!


Oh here he is again. Dont you love him.


Oh I saved this picture for last. The one Dee will enjoy the most. His QB being sacked. Oh wait, you mean fans dont like to see their QB sacked? Whoops, sorry Dee.

FYI...NE won this game. :)

So there you have it. My favorite team and Dee's favorite team.

Much love to you my friend!

Almost 2 weeks into this....

So this is a blog about crafting, right? Well there is more to my little ol life than crafting so sometimes you may have to read about my struggles and truimphs of my new healthy lifestyle. And anything else I might want to throw in here. You know August is coming which means football season (hopefully we have one lol) and so you know I cant resist a post or 2 about the Patriots.

But today we will talk about weight loss. Fun subject, right? About a month of so ago my mom offered to fix my car for me but in exchange for that she said she had to put a lein on something valuable of mine. In my head I was thinking "girl, you must be joking, because I have nothing of value". Oh little did I know! She said she would like to put a lein on my kidney. I was like "huh"? She told me that within a year or so she will need a kidney transplant. Including me, there are 6 of us kids. She said out of all of us, I was the only candidate. I have always said that I would give a kidney to my mom if she needed me too but I wanted to be the last on the list because I am deathly terrified of going under. Its a real fear of mine. I guess I will have to get over that fear. of course in order to even be a candidate for this, I cant be the size that I am. I have to lose weight. Two weeks ago, I finally thought that I better get serious. Last week at my "weigh in", which means my bathroom scale in front of no one, I dropped 5lbs. No biggie, probably water weight, the same ol same ol that most people see on week 1. A good drop in the lbs! This week has been completely different! The scale wasnt moving at all and I was doing everything right. Absolutely no cutting corners or cheating. Well until last night, when I decided I was going to eat that little piece of cake because the scale wasnt moving anyway, so I might as well. This morning the scale was the same as it was last Friday. Talk about frustrating!! I cant even describe the frustration. But I am going to chalk this up to water retention due to that "time" coming and keep moving forward and hope for better results next week.

I took some before pictures last week. Can you say O.M.G! Those were awful! And ones that I hope to never have to take again. And before anyway can ask, I wont be posting those until I have some progress to show lol. So stay tuned for those.

Tonight and this weekend is a challenge. Its Hoagland Days and we all know some of that carnival food is just the best. I have been talking to myself all day saying that none of that food will taste as good as being thin feels. And I will continue to tell myself that all night at the fair. Maybe I will put a sign around my neck that says "do not let me buy an elephant ear".

So until next week and the next weigh in....I will sign off on this post.

New venture with CTMH

Over this past weekend I decided to take advantage of the awesome deal that CTMH had going for new consultants. CTMH was the first stamp company that I ever stamped with way back when it was D.O.T.S! I have always loved their products so I figured why not try my hand at sharing that love with everyone I know. Stay tuned for more on this great company and the specials that they have going in June.
