Packer party : Part 2

We got to town about 4:30 Saturday afternoon. The hotel was perfect, full of Packer fans! The Hyatt on Main (if anyone is planning a trip!) had a bar/grill where we sat, drank, ate, talked and then played some shuffleboard (which I am not good at). It was nice and relaxing!

We slept in (until 9, which is about normal for us), ate the free breakfast and got ready for our day! Me in my (or Holly's) Clay Matthew's jersey and Steve in his Bo Jackson Raiders jersey. The weather was supposed to be around 40 degrees which I was super pumped for! When we booked this trip I was prepared for it to be zero degrees with snow on the ground. No snow anywhere up there and 40 degrees, heck yes! It could not have been more prefect!

The city bus picked us up right outside of the hotel, for free! It dropped us off, right outside the stadium and then we had the same free ride back to the hotel afterwards!

We found the Stadiumview bar, which was perfect! Busy, beer and a live band. Perfect!

Steve got some slack for being a Raider fan, but for the most part people were nice about it. He didn't wear a spike necklace or paint his face, so I appreciated that!

We did get asked where we were from b/c we had a 'southern accent'! LOL. Sure, ok.

When they say there isn't a bad seat in the house, they aren't lying. Well, until you have bitch and a douchebag sitting behind you. They COULDN'T stand the fact that Steve was a Raiders fan. They asked Steve when his team was going to show up to play, they yelled "CHEATERS" every time the Raiders got a penalty (they sure didn't yell that when the Packers got a penalty though!).

She said she didn't understand how I could even live with him being a Raiders fan...well, dumb bitch....I didn't pick my husband b/c of what football team he roots for. Besides that entertainment, it was a great game. 13-0 baby!!!

Since the Packers were winning by so much, we did spend a little time walking around the stadium. I just love it!

We found our free bus back to the hotel, ate some pizza at The Pub and went to bed! I'm pretty sure I was asleep by 8:30, but hey, it's my mini-vacation I can do whatever I want!

Sorry, I'm not done with the pictures...Part 3 is yet to come.

I will convert someone out there to become a Packer fan by the time these blogs are over! :)

Road Trip : Part 1

Steve and I took the opportunity to drive to Green Bay to watch my Packers play his Raiders this past weekend. It was our anniversary and Christmas presents to each other. You will get the extra special opportunity to see this trip thru all my pictures! Lucky you!

The drive was 6 1/2 - 7 hours, my source of entertainment was the billboards along the way.

I'm not even sure what this advertisement is for?!

Yes, the small white print under Mustard Museum......says Poupon U.

Love it.

Now I know what to get Steve for his birthday! A longer shirt to cover that butt crack!

Do these signs actually work to sell things?

Steve hated this cheesy sign. You better believe that I shouted BEEF-FENSE while we were at the game!

The closer we got the Green Bay....the better the signs got. The green and gold oozed from this city and I loved every minute of it!

Goodbye rat tail!

Her hair looks so long and straight......(when wet)

but there has been that long curly rat tail, looming in the back of my mind.

It was time to get rid of the that hint of white trash in my baby.

She did so good. She was unsure at the beginning (like always).

and my BFF Josie (AKA, the girl who does my hair who I want to be my BFF) was great and didn't charge us! Woohoo! I'll make sure to tip her really good when I get my hairs did next week!

Of course, when we left Presley got a sucker for being so good. Then she wasn't happy with her choice in flavors..too bad child, sometimes you have to live with sucky choices. That was the start of her breakdown.

We stopped by Radio Shack, who would've thought Radio Shack is where she would find the ultimate toy that she just HAD to have?! A Bratz doll and Tea Cup pets (?)....BREAKDOWN!

Goodness, we were those parents with the screaming bloody murder child...to the point where people on the lower level were looking up and people in stores were looking out. I'm sure there were people who thought we were kidnapping her! We just had to laugh about it, there was nothing else to do....besides laugh and leave!!

Five Question Friday...3 days late

I will get the hang of this Friday post eventually. I might have to set myself a reminder or something.

1. What is your favorite Christmas decoration in your house?

I love that I still have all my stuff from when I was a kid. My parents bought us a new Christmas ornament every year...and I have all of them. I actually started buying Steve one a year and now we have been doing it for Presley too (well, Holly has. She gets P an ornament for Christmas which is great b/c kids really get too many toys anyway!

2. Do you finish your Christmas shopping early or are you a last minute type?

Every year I tell myself I won't wait until the last minute...and every year we are out the weekend before Christmas buying gift cards to stuff in cards for gifts.

This year...we have 2 nephews (in case you lost count we have 8 nephews and 3 nieces) left and Steve is in charge of them. So I'm done! Booyah!

3. When do you turn on your heat? Whenever it gets cold. I hate being cold and why should I be uncomfortable in my own home?

4. Do you ever wish your blog was private? Nah, not enough people read it or really care about what I have to say for me to worry. I do try to avoid using last names and if anyone wants me to remove their name or picture I hope they let me know!

5. Do you put your deodorant on before of after you put on your shirt? After, duh. What kind of question is this?

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

Saturday family night

Since the weather has been rainy and yucky all day we decided to get a gingerbread house and try that experience with Presley. She was very excited! She was alot more into it and helpful than I thought she would be.

She was patient, particular.....

very focused......

and very proud! (not to mention, pantless)

I LOVE how she is looking up at daddy in this picture! She adores her daddy!

My two favorite people.

Three trips to the doctor in one month?!

is by far the most time we have spent at the doctor in such a short amount of time since she was born! I take complete responsibility for it, since I completely jinxed us. Sunday we finished her prescription for amoxicillin for her ear infection...Monday she woke up with a rash on her face, that ended up spreading to her body....Tuesday a little worse...Wednesday it was too bad for us to ignore any longer. Steve was able to get away from work for a couple hours to take her back to our favorite walk-in clinic. And again she was very good for the doctor, allergic to amoxicillin is the outcome. I never would've thought! We are so happy we took her in when we did!

Steve and I took turns working late and getting in some more overtime. Monday he worked until 7:30 and then Tuesday I worked until 7:30. I am thankful to have a job, however maybe they could hire some more people to make up for all the hours of overtime we are having to work?!

Last night I went out with some work people for 2 coworkers going away party! I was still home by 10:30....a friend of mine jokes that I turn into a pumpkin after 10 pm b/c that is usually my 'time' to go home! I know I don't want to feel like crap the next day so it's just better for me to check out early and still get a good 8 hours of sleep!...b/c I was at work by 7 am this morning!
