Where did my: A)weekend , B) football team, C) sanity GO?
Posted by mamae under Project Spectrum , UncategorizedRegarding A) WEEKEND:
How much time can you spend agonizing over work tables? My lovely D has helped me so much by spearheading the table thing. I have the vision… D has the skills. We went to the Loading Dock and found a great corner cabinet unit and counter tops (2-8′ sections and a corner section) for under $100. Awesome. And.. all recycled materials. Good for my pocket and the environment!
The hairy part was having the cowboy with us for the entire process. Poor guy had the most BORING weekend of his 3 year old life. I felt bad for him… I bought him new CARS toys out of guilt. The tables are 3/4 of the way there. I more to set up and done.
Regarding B) FOOTBALL TEAM:
Now… we love some football here in Casa de’ Mama. We love some football in Charm City. There was this feeling for the last 2 weeks that we all were together on something. As stupid as that sounds… the city was purple. People changed their porch lights and put purple bulbs in them. The skyline was lit purple. City Hall? purple. The neighborhood square? Purple.
I was in the grocery store before the game and it was a sea of purple Ravens jersey wearin’ folks stocking up on frozen appetizers and chips all the while the store staff were yelling “GO RAVENS” on the PA.
So.. needless to say… we are all a little sore here in Charm City. I won’t even go into the whole Colts trauma. I will go on record saying that I do like Payton Manning and Tony Dungee… but that is all I have to say about that. But, folks are grumbling where they once were cheering. Life is off kilter in the big city. It is 70 degrees in January and we have 6 weeks until pitchers and catchers report.
What was my consolation? Thinking the Eagles (my other favorite team) may have pulled it out. Umm… that was a no-go. I am down with the Saints winning now. That city deserves some hope. I hope they bring the championship home.
Regarding C) MY SANITY:
How do I go there? I am busy… in that very great, very harried busy way. I have no complaints other than I wish that I could be a little more organized and need a little less sleep.
I am so pleased to say I have one space left in the PS sock club. I am so excited! Thanks everyone. I am not making any last minute exceptions like last year. I have decided that 15 is the number that is manageable for me.
My first dye classes are this weekend. WOOT!!! Pictures of that on Monday.
Happy Monday Folks!

I was in Charm City quite a few times over the past few weeks since my husband had surgery at Hopkins and the thing that made us smile a little throughout was the fab display of Purple. Hubbo is a Jet fan through and through but the Raven spirit was great. Sorry this wasn’t their year.

With all of the hype regarding the Ravens over the past week or so, the results of the game did not surprise me. But than I am used to the Deadskins. Life will continue.
And you are right about it being weird with 60 and 70 degree weather in January. We need snow or rain to bring the water tables up for the summer. I am scared to think about what February and March will look like.
And there is a place similar to Loading Dock out here in Fredrick if you need more stuff. Let me know and I will get you the address. It is right off 70.

I get that people are football fans - I’m fine with that. But I was disgusted to see over ten Ravens shirts/jerseys at a WEDDING RECEPTION I was at Saturday night.
Uh - have a little respect? Seriously?

Ugh - so sorry about the Ravens….I must say I’m at the opposite end of the football happiness spectrum after watching the 4th quarter of the Patriots game. Not so sure about their chances against the Colts, but it was a great game!
Glad to hear the space is coming together so well!!!!!
