Football

Well, the Husband is home this year, as opposed to being in a desert land, far far away...so, that means, Football will be ON in this house, four to five days per week. That is fine with me. I enjoy it for the most part, but it also allows me to sit on my tush and KNIT!! Best thing about football. Well, that and Peyton Manning! Yes, i am a shameless Peyton fan.
We had our fantasy football draft this year. I got my man. I picked 12th, so since all the first tier Running Backs were gone, i took the plunge and picked WR Larry Fitzgerald. I then had 1st choice for the second round, and since i knew my main football man would be picked up by someone, rather than get a solid RB, i picked Manning. It is just no fun for me to watch, if he is not my QB!!

No knitting happened this weekend, and no sewing...other than sewing up the ripped out tush of my jammies! pretty sad....but they are my FAVES...with margaritas, mojitas, and other delish drinks all over them. Had to fix them, rather than toss them!

Oh...i had a sappy moment this weekend. I was rolling into town just as the town fire alarm sounded. I was rounding the corner in front of the fire house, and the men were really moving into high gear. I pulled over, as all the volunteers started jetting down the hill towards the station. The road cleared, but i just stayed parked and watched them for a minute, it was so exciting to see them kick it into high gear. Then i just got real sappy, thinking about the bravery of them. Running towards the disasters, with the intent to HELP and SAVE. So selfless, i just think they are wonderful.
And they look pretty damn fine in their gear, too.

And me... I just get jealous that I now have to sit at the station and knit (or ride along in the chiefmobile and knit) when there's a fire call! Thanks for giving them a nod!

Glad you got your man. I do like Peyton.

I too will often watch the Firefighters in actions - these days I always send a thank you up to Chan and her Knight for all they do for strangers (and not so strangers). g
