Heartbreak

Last night, my dear Packers saw their season come to an abrupt ending - far too soon. The Pack started out looking like they left the entire team in Green Bay and some imposters showed up in their jerseys. During the second half the offense showed up but the defense remained in Green Bay for the entire game. After the usually clutch Rackers missed a field goal, sending the game into overtime, I thought this was our chance. Boy was I wrong. Despite starting with the ball and giving A-Rog a chance for us to win the game he throws a pic and its overrrrrr. It hurts....real bad.

Sounds like I better cancel my catering order for the Packers vs. Saints game I was counting on....

Thanksgiving Adventures

My favorite season of the year is here! That being sale season....woop woop! My holiday weekend started with a trip to Detroit to watch my Packers play. The Packers win, so I am in a great mood! Post-game we are headed back to my car, we hop it and I open the glove box to grab my parents GPS, I had borrowed and it's missing! Ah, where did it go, how did someone get in without the window being broken? Well, I soon found out someone had jimmied my driver's side door lock and stole the GPS out the glove box! From there my main question is, how did someone know it was in there? Every piece of it was completely hidden in the glove box. I'm going to attribute it to the shady parking attendants at Kentwood Academy. And to think I was helping children by parking in that lot, yeah, helping them scam me. Life lesson learned.

After that depressing event, it was back home to prep for the biggest shopping day of the year. Luckily, Best Buy had the same Garmin on-sale the next day so in addition to my Dyson, I was also in the market for a Garmin Nuvi. Awesome.

My Mom and I arrived at Kohl's at 3:30 AM, my Dad didn't feel like waking up that early. I have no idea why not?! Thank goodness, we got there so early within about a 1/2 hour of opening the entire Dyson stock was wiped clean! That fabulous low-quality picture above is my Dyson I snatched up right after opening. woop woop!

So close....

Tonight I went pre-shopping for my Dyson <3 This is similar to pre-gaming before a bar night, or big game; except it's only for die-hard shoppers - similar to me. Where does my strong desire for a Dyson vacuum come from? These are questions I do NOT have the answer to. Maybe it's that man on the TV who tells me during the commercials how great my life will be with one. Am I really that much of a sucker for advertisements? The BH Kohl's has TWO Dyson DC25's in stock!!! TWO!!! That's it! The friendly saleswoman tried to put one on hold for me, however that didn't work. She did offer to hide it behind the other vacuums for me though later tonight. Basically she is my hero.

Kohl's opens at 4 AM on Friday. I plan to arrive at 3:45 AM to stand in line and run like a crazy woman to my Dyson. Since my Dad is my vacuum wingman I've offered to buy him breakfast, a sort of bribe to wake up at 3 AM to go to Kohl's. Has anyone ever wanted a vacuum quite like I want my Dyson DC25? Not that I can recall. Determination, focus.....these are key personality traits that will get me my Dyson.

What are some other purchases I'm looking to make during one of my three favorite days of the year...Wal-Mart has heated blankets & throws on sale for $13....done and done. I LOVE heated blankets. These could also be could use at the office, as it's always about 60 degrees. At Best Buy, I will definitely be hitting up the cheap DVD bin - as always. To score some DVD's that will sit on my DVD rack unopened for the next year. Smart purchase.....no....bargain purchase.....yes!

Tomorrow I'm going to the Packers v. Lions game....WOOP WOOP! If you'll be watching for me in the stadium, I'll be rocking my Greg Jennings jersey and Pack wears in addition to my temporary facial tattoos....awesome! Two big days in a row for me....can.not.wait!

Well that didn't take long...

As mentioned this morning it was no surprise my man Brett was headed for the purple & yellow. I think was what more surprising to me was how was the Vikings updated their landing page. Very impressive....golf clap. Suddenly their season has become a "historic season", one I wish I could attend, unfortunately those November 1st tickets at $260 a pop are beyond my price point. Sounds like a viewing party at my house.

Brett Favre Back?

By the name of my blog I am obviously a Green Bay Packers fan, so what
is my opinion of Brett Favre? Well, when he played for the packers he
was basically the second coming of god. When he played for the jets it
was like losing a friend. But I still was a fan. Obviously a Packers
fan first though.

Now the rumor mill is stirring again because of Jay Glazer's recent
revelation that several Vikings sources believe Brett is secretly
back. I wouldn't doubt it, but doesn't it create a lot of talk around
a team that no one outside Peterson-lovers and Minnesota-dwellers care
about. It reminds me of the recent revelation that Kourtney Kardashian
is pregnant, which coincided with the launch of her show. Perfect
timing or planned timing, I would guess planned timing.

Now the Packers play the Vikings at home on November 1st. You can bet
your ass I will be there to see my former idol throw the ball in one
of the most storied football stadiums in the country. Will I be
wearing my #4 jersey? Most likely not, these days I rock the #85
jersey with pride. One of WMU's most famous alumni, who was drafted to
my team, on my birthday, it was meant to be.

Do I fear that Favre goes to play for the Vikings and will hurt the
Packers playoff chances? No, we all saw the depressing end to the Jets
season last year........someone isn't Mr. Clutch anymore. Now Rodgers
isn't exactly clutch either, Kyra Sedgwick definitely has 'The Closer'
locked down more than Rodgers. However, Rodgers still has time to
improve, while Favre is running out of time. Although, I know a few
people in Chicago, who firmly believe I should worry about Jay Cutler.
Time will tell friends.
