In lieu of flowers...

Please drape your soddenn tear stained, spit of disgust soaked, Terrible Towel over the funeral fire we will be holding at sundown today... it won't burn as it is indeed soaked with the blood, sweat, and tears of Steeler Nation who watched some JV team from South Iowa attempt to play Steelers football last night.

In lieu of flowers we are asking that everyone dig deep, donate what you can, to free the imprisoned Steeler team currently being held in an undisclosed location - we fear somewhere in Ohio has there has to be some collusion between Cincinnati and Cleveland - I mean really people.

That being said I didn't even watch the entire game - it was obvious to me that Ben and company were simply not interested in a post season - they decided it was cold, they wanted to go home - fine. You're done. So overcooked like my mother-in-law's Thanksgiving turkeys. I will waste no more breath, no more worry no more - no more. Kiss my grits I'm going to watch the 6 hours of winning Steelers football stories I've got on my DVR. (see me sticking my tongue out) So there.

On the up side the Pengins won last night - in a much better contest. Well done boys.

And today is Friday - I am happily working from home, I've got the Corporate party tonight and nothing planned for the weekend. Plus Bubba is working one of those days so life ain't all that bad now is it? AND!! Bubba leaves for the West Coast Monday - so we have a nice quiet week to look forward to as well... see it all works out in the end, right?

What? Too calm? Too controlled? No ranting? Nope - when I awoke (yeah I crashed hard at 10:00 PM what's it to you?) flipped back to the NFL network and saw the score I knew - it was over and no amount of yelling wailing or gnashing of teeth was going to change it. Way to go boys...

On a side note - my hero is so totally Heinz Ward - way to man-up and play dude. Wish you could have brought the rest of the offense with you. *sigh* But Heinz on the up side - you've got plenty of time to heal up now... buttheads... stupid... stupid... Ok maybe there is still some anger lingering under the surface... I'm going to run my errands and come home - perhaps a Gingerbread Latte will soothe this savage ache. Stupid Steelers.

Didn't get my gingerbread latte but Dad called - Steelers gear is 1/2 off... get it while it's hot. As I told Dad - I'm surprised they haven't just put a sign up that said "free to a good home". There won't be many of those in Western PA - or anywhere else for that matter...

Productive morning, got my eyes checked - not completely thrilled with the new doc but it's once a year so no biggie. Ran to Wal-Mart got a few things, got my nails done in holiday red - which now that I think about it is going to clash with my dress - ah well - and went to the bank and got some ladies' group information done... good morning.

No emails so life is back to quiet - the girls are outside in the cold - we'll see who long that lasts...

All right - I will drown my sorrows tonight with some good folks and hopefully a fairly early night - wow I am the party animal...
