Oh When the Saints Go Marchin' In...

My Alma Mater, Carroll College Saints are going to the NAIA championship for the 5th time in a row!!!!! GO SAINTS! They'll be playing the University of St. Francis, JQP's Alma Mater!!!

Oh how I wish I could be tailgating in Tennessee with the Blogger Public! The Saints defeated the Cougars last year in a courageous battle! The Cougars have kept the final score to that game on the wall in their locker room as inspiration this season. I would love to be singing our fight song, eating brats, drinking beer to see my Saints win, an unprecedented FIFTH NAIA championship, but alas it's not to be. I will be leaving for Mobile, Alabama on the 20th to spend the holiday with the in-laws. There's kids' programs, basketball games, etc...So the Saints will have to win without me! JQP, if you attend the game raise a glass for me!

In other news I haven't put one damn Christmas decoration up in my house. I keep thinking that since we're not going to be here, what's the big deal? Well, I'm starting to think I'm just a lazy hag and I need to deck some frickin' halls! Some shopping has been done, but I still have to get stuff in the mail and of course finish the dreaded Christmas cards. In case you're wondering, the photo I chose was the one outside where kids were looking at the camera, but the dogs were looking everywhere else. Out of the 20,000 shots I took that one was the very first and the best. Go figure!

BTW, the Christmas baking is almost done. We have 2 kinds of fudge, almond biscotti, chocolate mint balls and raspberry cake bars...want some? Come on over!
