Football Party - Recap

So the football party was a huge success and there weren't any major disasters! Coley was a good boy and played nicely with all the kids. He slept great that night. Everyone that was there had a great time, including me interestingly enough.

Unfortunately, the NY Giants did not fare so well. They lost to the Dallas Cowboys (45 to 35)! After awhile, I am not sure that many of us were paying attention to the game, we were far too busy having fun!

Next time - I have to get much less food. I think everyone went home with leftovers and for some reason I felt that eight 12-packs of soda were needed! Boy, I am going to have a lot to drink in my house for awhile. Maybe I should just throw another Shindig!

The Beginning Of Fall

For this New Yorker, a good indicator that Fall was upon was that the different men in my life would disappear on Monday nights and be glued to a television screaming on Sunday's. When I lived in New York, it would get a bit cooler and the leaves would begin to change but that doesn't really happen in Texas since we only have two seasons Summer and Winter!

This Sunday, Fall begins with the first game of the NFL. If you don't know what the NFL is, you can go and Google it! This year, the Dallas Cowboys will be hosting the New York Giants. Now, since I am a fan of the NY Giants and I live in Texas (bizarre in itself) I thought that it would be really cool to have a few people over for the first game of the season, even though it didn't start out that way. I am sure that I will be one of only two people that are rooting for the Giants. Laura's really cool idea to have a few friends over has gotten a wee bit out of hand (as usually does in perfect Laura style). First it was just going to be me, Jessie and Tiz going to watch the game at a local sports bar. Then I came up with the brilliant idea that it would be so much more fun if we had it at my house. Then we invited spouses, other friends and children of all. Now we have 15 people (kiddies included) coming to my house to watch the game. I am really looking forward to it! ( Especially since most of the people that read this are coming to the party!) I will let you know how it all transpires. Hopefully Coley will not be too terrified with all the people and kiddies in the house!
