Did you watch the game? What did YOU think of it? What did you think of Beyonce's performance?
How are your teams doing?
Did you watch any games this weekend?
Did you attend any?
How have you felt about NBC's handling of the Olympics this year? Has the delay ruined the viewing experience for you? Have you tried to stay away from results before you could watch the event? Have you watched any online?
I don't know about you but I've enjoyed watching little Miss Gabrielle Douglas fly through the air flipping and twisting and then BAM! STICK IT! This lil girl has been bringing me JOY! I love when she gives her interviews and she's all sweetly confident. I love how she is so supportive of her teammates. I love how she speaks about how much she loves what she does and how honored she is to represent our country in the Olympics. When she's kinda wobbly...I'm holding my breath and breathing hard, praying she recovers. When she hits something just right...I am yelling at the top of my lungs. GET.IT.GABBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOW 'EM HOW TO DO IT! USA! USA! USA!
In short...she is QUITE impressive and I LOVE.ME.SOME.GABBY!
I read something yesterday about the 16 year old's hair that made me stop. Then I asked Mr. Google if other people were saying negative things about her hair and was FLOORED with what I found.
FLOORED.
So yeah...I got annoyed at just how inappropriate people can be with the things they were saying about a 16 year old WORLD.CLASS.ATHLETE.
Did YOU pay more attention to her hair or to her skills and her confidence in her ability?
Did you hear others ridiculing the child because of her hair?
If you did...did you say something to counter it?
What do you think about the entire situation?
Okay...
My school is playing Erica B.'s school on Saturday.

How is YOUR team doing so far this year?
RAVENS: 4 wins, 1 loss
SAINTS: 4 wins, 2 losses
Yall know I don't know much about football but TIH's husband posted this on Facebook and I straight HOWLED with laughter!!!!!!!
SIP: This is seriously NOT RIGHT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm not a major fan of any sport. The Robinator is a HUGE, MAJOR fan of pretty much EVERY sport. I hardly ever paid any attention to trash talk about teams and whatnot and kept it moving but recently I was involved in a straight up knock down drag out about my favorite football player. Someone was talking ish and SIP rose up outta me and we blessed that fool like he'd talked about my mama.
I started repeating ish that I'd heard The Robinator say about stats and whatnot and it went DOWN-T!
Humph.
That was the first time that's happened to me. ROFL!
Who is YOUR favorite football player? Do you get involved emotionally when it comes to someone talking smack about them?
SIP: Do people still say smack?
Okay...seriously...I think I'm going to need one of these in my life now that I see it will come in red also. Jawbone Up band.
Here's a good article on it: http://gizmodo.com/5820983/jawbones-up-bracelet-will-track-your-body-as-it-sleeps-eats-or-sits-around-getting-fat
Yall know I talk to everybody right?
Right.
Well...today we got to the game pretty early and the lovely lady who helped us get to our seats was one of the nicest people I've met in a while. She and I got to talking about random stuff and every time I'd passed her by on my way to the restroom, concession stand, etc...she was so pleasant and gracious.
She had that sense of calming peace about her that makes you know someone is good down deep.
We kept talking.
On one particular lull in activity she stood behind us and told us about how often she travels and where all she's been in the world. The shorter list was to ask where she had NOT been. And then she said something really nonchalantly.
Ms. Shirley: I'm a scuba diver.
Me: Really?
Ms. Shirley: Yes. I'm in the Hall of Fame for scuba diving.
Me: WOW!
Ms. Shirley: Look me up on the internet.
And I whipped out my iPad and did just that and LO AND BEHOLD...check out Ms. Shirley Lee!
HOW FLIPPING FA-BU-LOUS IS THAT?????????
She reminded me of Becca. Just happy with an easy smile and laugh and a confidence that is born of DOING-T IT!
Ms. Shirley is 76 years old yall. She made my EN-TIRE heart smile.
Imma steal her. We NEED to know more about her story. Don't yall agree?
1. It was hot.
2. It was REALLY hot.
3. It's a really nice stadium.
4. Baseball games are much better to take kids to than football games cuz the fans don't cuss or get as drunk.
5. I ate a half smoke with the works from Ben's Chili Bowl.
6. I'm already starting to pay for it.
7. Turns out it was a double header.
8. Robby enjoyed the heck outta himself.
9. We were sitting next to really nice people.
10. I don't like foul balls.
WHO YA WIT?
WHO DAT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should Cam Newton win the Heisman?
When I do my power walk on the treadmill my butt jiggles. Don't let me get a light jog in and it jiggles so much that it starts needle prickly burning and I just don't like that feeling ONE.BIT. And...since my butt isn't going anywhere...I had to get that under control.
In the warmer months I wear capri leggings but I would freeze my tookus off trying to rock those when it's cold out.
A while ago I was sharing my dilemma with Erica B. and she asked if I had any Under Armour gear. At the time I didn't because they put the logo right smack dab in the middle all obvious and whatnot. I like my gear to be less advertisery so I stick to my FAVE, Zella, for the most part.
But Zella's running tights didn't fit the way I wanted them too. See...they were already the kind that sit on the hips before you even put them on. Have a butt and put them on and VOILA!...you're "cracking" 'em up. LOL!
So I tried the Under Armour ones too and guess what? SAME.THING. Seems like the ones for women are made for women without butts.
*sigh*
I was mighty annoyed by this and it showed all across my face so it was suggested to me by the store manager that I try on a size small Under Armour in men. Under Armour Men's ColdGear Action Leggings
Me: Arrrruuu??????
BUT HEY...I had time so I did and baaaaaaaby...lemme tell you what! The men's have a REAL waistband and they accommodate hips and thighs on men so you KNOOOOOOWWWWWWWW they accommodated mine! GO ME! See...they aren't trying to "sexy up" men's tights so they are PERFECT!
So...if YOU are looking for a pair of running tights too...try the Under Armour IN THE MEN'S DEPARTMENT! I can't BELIEVE I never thought of this myself! I now own 3 pair and they make me happy! :) I have two of the ones to wear when it's cold (Under Armour Men's ColdGear Action Leggings
and one pair (so far) of the ones to wear when it's in between weather (Under Armour Men's Heatgear Leggings
(Now off to find jog bras WITHOUT the Adidas logo in the front so I may wear under my white hoody. ROFL!)

My husband is a HUGE sports fan. He has his teams and players he LOVES, LOVES, LOVES and, he has teams and players he HATES, HATES, HATES.
He thinks Kobe Bryant can walk on water ('cept for them pics he took). He used to love Michael Jordan but then he came to realize dude is a big azzhole. He LOVED Larry Byrd and hasn't heard anything about him that changes that for him. Drew Brees? GET.OUTTA.HERE! That's his Q-back DUDE! Terrell Suggs? When dude gets a sack Robby sounds like a stadium full of people whooping and hollering. Ryan Zimmerman? Dude isn't a superstar but Robby can go on and on and on about him. (Ask me how I know.)
The joy dude has when telling me that the Miami Heat lost again is comparable to a kid at Christmas getting his first shiny, new bike. It's like...he has GLINTS in his eyes, SPARKLES in his teeth, Disney birds flitting around his head.
It brings him JOY!
Something else this past weekend brought him joy too and it made me realize that dude is evil-er than I thought. He's been watching the following video over and over and over again laughing his azz off because he SERIOUSLY hates Roethlisberger.
He also HATES Tom Brady. He straight up HATES the Yankees because of Alex Rodriguez. According to Robby dude was tipping off the other team to the pitchers when he was with the Rangers and that should be punishable by stoning and then shat on.
He doesn't like Michael Vick as a person but gives him his props on the field. He says the game Vick played against the Redskins is probably the best game ever by a quarterback that wasn't a playoff and hey...dude loves the sport. Oh...and he can't stand the Redskins. The name 'Redskins' pisses him off because he says it's disrespectful to Native Americans.
I was, of course, confucious as to his level of dislike because I am all goodness and light and then he said two names to me:
Sarah Palin
Michael Steele
I OVERstood. He must have a burning in his chest and azz with the heat of a thousand suns. The sounds of their voices must pierce his ears, their images must damn near blind him.
Poor baby.
So...let's keep it real. In sports...WHO YA HATE? Who ya love? What about your S/O?
Seriously?
Why hasn't anyone shared with me the FABULOUSNESS that is this young man?????? Just watched him on Martha and he was/is EVERY.SINGLE.THING!
Sunday we attended a Baltimore Ravens' game. To be honest...even though I'm not into football I had a REALLY good time. Whenever I heard someone say something I simply repeated it and cheered when the crowd cheered and boo'ed when the crowd boo'ed.
I feel I connected with the energy of the event. (INSERT CHEESE EATING GRIN HERE!) We had REALLY great seats on rows 17 and we went with lots of friends so there were plenty of people there who didn't side eye me COMPLETELY for not knowing nuttin' 'bout no futbol.
Save for a disasturous inhaling of a stadium hotdog...I'd do it again. That's seriously how much fun I had. Our team won and we went out for a nice meal after. GO.US!
How about you? When's the last time YOU attended an NFL game? Did your team win?
If it was NFL day at your kid's school...who would they rep?

What do YOU think about this statement made by a college football coach? Someone said that had it been a White coach who said it...dude's head would roll. What do you think?
...I WON FIFTY CENTS!
My logic? Miami is pretty and me likey pretty so that's where he should go. ROFL!
Coley is only 5 years old and since he's been 3 people have approached Shelly talking about how he's going to be perfect for football because of his size. (Dude is waaaaaaaay bigger than average. Not overweight mind ya...just tall and SOLID. He's been consistently wearing clothes 3 sizes over his age for a minute now.)
Shelly is a voracious reader and she's THAT MAMA so when she reads articles like this one, Concussions and Football: Is the game too dangerous for our kids?, well...she starts side-eyeing the sport.
She hasn't decided yet what she's going to do regarding football and has chosen to, instead, get Coley involved with baseball. He's a gifted athlete already and well...I have a feeling she AND he are going to be bombarded by booster club people for him to get involved in football.
And I understand her concerns.
Based on what YOU know of the recent studies suggesting football is the cause of brain damage among players and can be the reason some of them behave as they do...are you going to let YOUR son play football? Do YOU have any concerns regarding? As a parent...would you be able to say no to a child who could be gifted at the sport and make millions of dollars and yet...might have some serious injuries because of?
It's quite the quagmire it seems.
