Good Grief!

Is it just me, or does Christmas Day get shorter every year? It's like, you wake up, open your presents, eat, watch movies, and then go to bed. You wake up the next day and you think, "Wow. That was fast."

I hope y'all (It's a word down here, more about that later) enjoyed your holidays. I know I sure did. Among my favorite presents are my iHome. Also, I got a bunch of Simon Gift Cards (like a pre-paid credit card, can be used anywhere VISA is accepted.) I also got quite a few Aeropostale clothes (sweaters, jeans, pants, and sleepwear.) I got a pair of South Carolina flip-flops (in the color scheme of our flag, navy and white.) And among the best remains my Atlanta Braves hat and keychain. My Mom got me an Atlanta Braves housekey too... weird, but awesome!!!

I'm psyched about my ski trip. I just have to find a few more things; boots, gloves, and goggles. We can only take two small suitcases, which is bad, if you're a girl. And no iPod. I never, and I repeat, NEVER, have gone more then two days without Switchfoot. AHHHHH!

I'm also kind of nervous. I let LWCC's Children's Minister talk me into actually SKIING! (Did I spell that right?) I've never skied before, and we don't get a crash course in what to do, or what NOT to do... creepy, right? However, I'll have fun; and I'm going to teach myself to ski, even if if kills me. Hopefully that won't happen. I would miss the Superbowl for pete's sake.

AND, Eli Manning leads the Giants into Week 16 with an exciting playoff berth. What a game on Sunday! That might be the reason that I have absolutely no nails on my fingers. I've already prepared myself for the Colts not winning the Superbowl, as they will have to play NE in the playoffs. I think with their earlier NE loss, they will be shaken up. Our best WR, Marvin Harrison is still out, and I don't think that he will play in the first post-season game.

However, Dallas is making me extremely happy. Home-turf advantage for all playoff games- how great is that?! If TO and Romo stay healthy, I think that they might win the Superbowl. Of course, there's always New England. It seems that they are in the playoffs every year! Am I the only person who just despises Tom Brady, and Bill Belicheck for that matter?!

For those of you who are wondering why I hate NE so much, I don't really have an answer for you. It's just always been a rule in our house that you don't cheer for NE or the Steelers. Why? I'm not sure. I've just made up my own reasons not to like them. They have a cheater for a coach, and I've been hilariously laughing at all of the NFL announcers suddenly making fun of Bill Belicheck's attitude, and his outfits. Also, Tom Brady is the worst loser I have ever seen. When he makes a bad pass, or a call doesn't go his way, he walks off of the field and pouts. I think that he sort of looks like a two-year-old in time-out. And third, all of the announcers seem to LOVE the Pats. I hate any team that gets talked about all the time. Except Dallas, of course.

That's all for now! L8r y'all!
