Dolphins/Texans Game

For Lee's birthday, we all pitched in to buy him tickets to go see the Dolphins play against the Texans on September 9th.  We were both excited to go (it was the first game of the real season), but the Dolphins lost horribly.  Sorry, Lee.  :(  Here are the highlights...

 

Enter Dolphins.

 Enter Texans.

 This scared me.  When the game started, they showed these bulls running through the streets of Houston crushing Dolphins players.  Violent!

 This guy's big hairy leg was touching me practically the whole game.  He did NOT understand the concept of personal space.  Ick...

He stood up and danced every time the Texans scored a touchdown (except the one time I was trying to capture it, of course).  And when he bends over...butt graze on my arm - GROSS!

 Despite hairy leg guy and the Dolphins massacre, we still had a good time. :)

Ode to My Phone

Ok, so I should stop making blog promises because I can't seem to keep them, but here's a poem I wrote that should hopefully hold you until the weekend...

ode to my phone

new phone, you are so pretty

the best phone in all the city

in my hands you look so right

your little screen oh so bright

how did i live before tonight

i love your moving background

the jellyfish swimming round

and your whistle letting me know

to my new texts i need to go

just like a present with a bow

wake me in the mornings

give me calendar warnings

shine your little flashlight app

add my sticky notes with a tap

win words with friends in a snap

phone, we are true friends

i hope our love never ends

if you succumbed to theft

of your company i’d be bereft

only emptiness left

new phone, you are so pretty

the best phone in all the city

in my hands you look so right

how did i live before tonight

Well, It's That Time Again

School has started and I'm ignoring things again...my blog........that toothpaste stain on the bathroom rug..... 

I have scheduled time this Saturday to catch up though.  Yes, even finishing my summer vacation posts, which will of course be backdated so I don't look like a total slacker in future years.  ;)  This weekend?

• Friday night volleyball and football games - first of the year!
• Saturday - grocery shopping, school work, Verizon to update phones, Math work party, and blogging! (Actually, that list is looking pretty daunting now...)
• Sunday - Lee's birthday present: Texans/Dolphins game.  Probably doing more school work because I will procrastinate the day before.  Maybe more blogging?

Thanks for sticking with me...  :)
