Kony, Peyton, & a Blate

I have a few things for you beauties today.

Unless you're a caveman, then I'm sure you saw something about the Kony Movement yesterday. Facebook, twitter, and blogs were blowing up with links and videos. Apparently this has been going on for years but it's just being brought to the attention of the american public. If you haven't yet, take the time to watch this video.

yes, it's thirty minutes.

it's worth it.

trust me.

IF THE WORLD KNOWS WHO JOSEPH KONY IS, IT WILL UNITE TO STOP HIM.
IT STARTS HERE.

KONY 2012 IS A FILM AND CAMPAIGN BY INVISIBLE CHILDREN THAT AIMS TO MAKE JOSEPH KONY FAMOUS, NOT TO CELEBRATE HIM, BUT TO RAISE SUPPORT FOR HIS ARREST AND SET A PRECEDENT FOR INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE.

then go here and pledge to make a difference. 

It was a sad day for Colts fans yesterday. 

Peyton Manning was released from our team. 

:'(

I literally almost cried while watching him give his farewell speech.

Not only am I sad to see him go, I'm pissed that the idiot we know as Jim Irsay aka the owner acted like he was sad. Dude, we all know those tears were fake.

As lame as it sounds, I honestly feel like Peyton died. 

Watching the replay of the press conference and a special on the years we had him on our team, I felt as though I was grieving the loss of someone. And in a way, I am.

Please pinch me and wake me up from this bad dream.

We will have so many great memories of Peyton and that's what we'll remember. 

On a happier note, I'm attending my first ever blogger meet-up.....

or shall I say blate, tonight. 

I don't know any of these girls, and I'm kind of nervous but hey,

cheers to new friends, right? :)

happy thursday

xoxo.

weekend recap

Well it's Monday again...already. Why do the weekends always seem to fly by? I sit here wishing my work days away for Friday. 

Last Friday I mentioned going to the Squirrels game with my sister. We got free tickets (score!) from one of her friends to the playoff game. 

Saturday wasn't too eventful; I went home to visit my parents (a whopping 20 minutes away.) But I also got to experience the Salted Caramel Mocha Frappachino for the first time...and let me tell you- I am a fan! That one actually trumps the PSL in my opinion...so if you haven't yet, go try one! 

Yesterday was all about football. I was pretty excited to do nothing all day but switch from game to game, but I've gotta say I was pretty disappointed in both of my teams. First, don't get me started about Peyton. Every sports analyst was arguing from both sides of this situation. Regardless of the side though, they did agree on one thing; we will suck this year! Ughhhh! I guess this will test and weed out the "true" fans from the bandwagon. My dad said to me "Well, now you get to experience them the way I did growing up when they weren't that good." Awesome. Too bad I started liking them the year before they became awesome. So I remember that....I don't need another season to make memories. 

um, where were the colts? oh yeah, they didn't show up. 

Anyway, regardless of this season, I will remain true to my team as well as this guy (who was handing out high-fives during games yesterday)...

my new little colts fan :)

(Please take note of the dog tag)

Some of my friends went to the Giants/Redskins game yesterday and I'm so jealous that I couldn't go. I would've rocked out my Eli jersey regardless of the outcome. Honestly, I think they lost because I wasn't there. I've been to the last 2 games they've played each other in DC and the Giants won both times. Just sayin'. 

And last but not least, I put my Cinnamon Pumpkin wallflowers in yesterday so now my apartment smells like fall! Aaaand I painted my nails this nice little fall color.

Chinchilly

That's all I've got for today. 

Wish me luck....I start running outside today- eek! 

"Football is back!"

Ah, the phrase I've been waiting to hear! It was definitely getting close to the point of me freaking out. I can't imagine going a year without football. It's one of the biggest reasons I love fall and winter. There is something so comforting to me about coming home on a cold Sunday afternoon and curling up on the couch to watch football ALL day. It doesn't even have to be a game I care about...as long as there is football on in the background I'm a happy girl. I will say that if all goes according to plan, I will be face to face with Peyton Manning and many more of the Colts players....(happy dance!) Obviously I'm super excited to also not be missing another season of Eli. :)

 Do I need to mention that this is also the year that Indy is hosting the Super Bowl? This probably isn't good for us considering that the team who hosts the game is never in it....buuuuut we could be the first :) I have faith in my guys. So bring on those cold Sundays. I'll be wrapped up in a blanket with a bowl of chili and a drink. LOVE LOVE LOVE football season!!! I've posted some pictures (of my team) to get you hyped up for pre-season....(which is only a month away!!!)

I think it's safe to say that Toby will soon be the

proud owner of a Colts jersey. I think dad will be proud :)

(this is only thing he will ever wear!)
