Monday Mourning - Boo Hoo Patriots

Tom Brady how can you let me down.  I cannot believe my favorite team lost.  I was more worried for the 49ers than the Patriots.  What was funny was that when we first started watching the 49ers game I was not wearing my hoodie.  The Falcons was ahead and Jeff said "where's your hoodie? you have to wear it to cheer for our team".  Shortly after I put it on, they scored and they came back and win the NFC championship game.  Then it was time to watch my team, when they scored first, I was feeling OK until the Ravens came back and scored three touchdowns, then I knew.  There lots of errors and whatever name you want to use.  Before watching the game, I was not worried and thought the game would be close but in the end, I was sure the Patriots would come through.  Anyway, there's no sense crying over spilled milk.  It's time to get pumped for the 49ers and just cheer on with my hubby.  It will be a great Superbowl because it will be the battle of the twins.  For those of you who are real football fans, you know what I mean.

Screaming Sunday - Two for Two

It's all about football today.  Both our teams are playing today.  That's right a double header.

For those real footballs fans, you already know who are playing and maybe even have a better idea on who might win.  For me, I will be cheering the 49ers first and then the Patriots after.  As mentioned in my previous post,  the menu for dinner is the GamePack from KFC and maybe some beer.  My MIL will be joining us early so we can all cheer for the local team.

I actually can't believe that both teams are in contention for the Superbowl.  As much as I want the 49ers to win and the Patriots to win,  it will be one interesting Superbowl in our household.  Jeff does not like monetary bets that's why I have to be creative and think of something that he go for.  Maybe I can get him to agree to an overnight stay at Thunder Valley Casino and Resort since I have a special coupon for a special day in February.  In the meantime, we have to wait until we see if both our team wins today.

As the logo of KFC - Game Day Just got AWESOME - ER.  The bucket includes 8 piece crispy chicken, 8 hot wings and 10 original bites.  Of course, it's not complete for me without the gravy.  I know it's bad for us but it's been a long time since I've had KFC so I guess it's allowed.

It's COUCHGATING time - watching football at home has all the benefits.  It's comfy chairs, cozy blanket, no hassle with parking or traffic, no annoying fans that are too obnoxious, no bathroom line ups, and very little cost.  Good luck to our teams. 

Sports Saturday - T H F

It has been a week since the Australian Open started and most of my favorite players are through the third round.  Roger, Maria, David and Novak.  Unfortunately the troll is still around and I just hope that she does not get to the finals.  The commentators are routing for her and although she's not my favorite, she is one powerful player.  I guess all I have to do is wait and wish my favorite Maria all the best and hope that this is her year to win all the majors. 

Talking about Maria, when I watched her on her first round match, I thought that she has another classy outfit with colors yellow, white and grey.  And as the day goes by, there were a lot of yellow outfits for both women and men.  As usual classy and sharp dresser Roger Federer has the great ensemble.  You have to see how crisp the collar of his shirt and you can even see the crease on his shorts.  He truly has the whole package of an awesome athlete, a great father, and just one wonderful person.  During interviews, he always has the best etiquette and always gives compliment when it's due.  Other players should really learn from him.

I am looking forward to this coming week of quarter finals, semis and of course the FINALS.

On another sport, hockey season is back and our local team the SHARKS are ready to win a lot of games.  The tickets were only sale last week but when I check on line, they were still a bit expensive, only because I don't want those nose bleed seats.  I guess we will have to settle in watching in the comfort of our home.

THF - tennis, hockey and football.  These are all the different sports that I will be watching for the next two weeks.  If for some reason the 49ers or Patriots does not make it to Superbowl, Jeff and I decided that we won't watch it all.  Maybe if the weather is nice that day we will end up playing tennis. 

Out of all the three sports, which is your favorite and who are your favorite players?  

Freezing Friday - It's a bit cooler again

Every day this week before I leave to go somewhere, I have to scrape the windows of my car.  Yes, that's right scrape, the windows are frozen and I am happy to say I own a very special scraper that my daughter gave me for my first winter in San Jose.  For those of my friends who live in Canada, this is nothing but I thought it might be funny to show that we actually have a bit of winter.  Although NO SNOW, it's a bit colder for this part of the bay area.

Truthful Thursday - Orange or Cutie

With the latest flu epidemic, it's time to load up on your vitamin C, right.  My MIL gave us a bunch of oranges from her tree.  It would have been a happy experience if my sister was the one picking all these oranges.  When she was visiting in November, she had a great time taking photos of these oranges but since they were not ready to be picked, she just checked them out.  She was able to pick up some lemons at my cousins place.  I hope my sister will read this post today, maybe she might recognize some of these oranges.

Unfortunately I am not into this type of oranges, instead I love the CUTIES and I just bought a bag and they were very sweet.  It's good that Jeff loves oranges and if he does not eat them, he can make fresh orange juice.  Whatever the type of orange you love, its a good source of vitamin C and although it's not a cure for the common flu, it's a healthy snack.

What Wednesday - Something new

A week after Christmas, I received a surprise gift from Jeff's cousin Gracie.  It was a surprise because we already got a gift from her at Christmas. What's so special about this gift?  When you see it, you'll say, it's just a glove.  Well, it's not just any glove, it's a special one because you don't have to take it off to use your phone to make a call, send a text or play a game.  I immediately thought about my daughter who lives in Toronto where they have very cold weather.  I saw them at Target so I bought her exactly the same color which I hope she will like.  As for me, I only use it when I am at home and it's a bit cool and lazy to turn up the heat.  If you don't have this and is constantly taking off your glove to use your phone, then definitely it's a must to have.  Those differently colored tips really work.

 

Tennis Tuesday - Australian Open Begins

During the Patriots game, I happen to search for things to watch while they are on commercials or in between quarters.  Then there it was on ESPN, the Australian Open.  I could not believe it but then it's the middle of January, of course it's summer in the land from the down under.  I immediately checked the website to see if all my favorites are playing and I very happy to see all their names.

Two weeks of tennis is going to be very tiring because of the time difference but thanks to DVR, I can record some of the late night matches.  My favorite female player Maria already won her first round match.  Her new outfit color scheme is yellow with another classy design.
As for my favorite male player Roger Federer, I will have to find when his first round game will be.  There are other players that I love watching but not until they get to the quarter finals.

Are you into tennis? Do you only like watching the final games?
