MY BENGALS DID IT!! WE ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW!!
I can't sing, either.
Yay!! Yay!! Yay!! We clinched a playoff berth today! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it...
The day started when the alarm went off at nine. After hitting snooze three times, we got up, got dressed and got ready for church. Remember - our clocks in the bedroom are set twenty minutes fast. So, hitting snooze three times gets us up right at whatever time it was set at! We are sneaky that way.
After church, we went up to Georgetown and got our lunch, which was breakfast. We were going to go over to Jungle Jim's to a wine tasting/sampling, but decided we really didn't want to drive in Eastgate this last weekend before Christmas, so we didn't go. We each had one of those big breakfasts with two sausage, two bacon slices, two eggs, potatoes, and toast. Yum, and I actually got home in time to see kickoff!
Football was very good today - the early games, anyway. Of the nine games, I only lost two of them. I picked the winners of the other seven! WhooHoo! That's definitely a change. AND my Bengals clinched a playoff berth - how exciting. Three years in a row! Makes those dismal years of the eighties and early nineties a distant memory, right? Still there in the old brain, but not right in front, as it is at the beginning of every season. Then came the late games. There are only five of those. Well, this old chickie ended up missing four of them! Three teams - who usually NEVER, or very rarely, lose at home - lost at home (thanks, guys) and so I ended up losing six games on the day. Sigh. Tis okay, though, I beat Ron. He missed seven. LOL
For supper, I heated up the leftover chicken and rice dish that I brought home from the party last night, and I zapped/steamed Ron some green beans to go with his. I had a banana with mine.
I did up all the dishes tonight, also, during the night game, so it's one less thing for me to worry about tomorrow. I have to get all of our stuff together for the big trip to Josh's and I can't let myself worry about little stuff when I have so much big stuff going on the next couple of days! I think I already have 3 lists going...
Plus, my older sister has some extra problems going on right now, but she is so far away that I can't really help her, but I am trying to, and want to, but I don't know what else I can do and can also only help when and where asked. So, I have to keep 'on the lookout' and be ready if and when she needs me, and I can do something for her, then I must be ready TO do that 'something' for her.
When I put my food into MFP today, I was near my number (300) calories short for the day, but I am okay with that, especially since it's Sunday and there isn't a speck of exercise. Did I mention that I got jeans out of the back of my closet to wear? It's my Christmas gift to myself!! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it....
I still can't sing.
Five stars for food! Zero for exercise!! Five for my Bengals!! Zero for my gambling skills!!
Oh - btw - just in case anyone will be busy this week and not able to read my blogs this week -
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
