The Patriots

Living in New England country I always got busted for wearing my Dolphins stuff.  From the time I was little and friends would ask me to name a Dolphins player.  Of course I said Bob Greise.  And they would be name another one and I would name so many Larry Czonka Mercury Morris etc etc  I have hated the Patriots for as long as I can remember.  My team went undefeated your team couldn't even make it to the Super Bowl  Of course this was before Brady or even Bledsoe for that matter.  Why do Pats fans feel the need to gloat or make excuses.  The reason they got beat in the Super Bowl was because Brady was hurt not because the Giants were the better team Did I even root for the Giants because that was the only way the Fins would remain undefeated.  No of course not I kept my pie hole shut until the end of the game when the Pats lost and I gloated to my cousins Fins fans alike.  They lost to the Jets they were the better team and no matter if the Fins were 0-16 they are still in the same place the Pats are in on the golf course not at the big show.  Did the Patriots have a great season of course 14-2 nothing to sneeze about but they didn't win.  Of course even if they had they would have had to face Pittsburg and what would have been the excuses then????  Morale of the story talk snack on your own wall and face defeat like a man with grace

Day # 3 or Will I get past a week

I just blog to write down my thoughts.  Not that anyone is reading them.  Resolution # 4 is to finish my lighthouse album.  I want to take pictures of the lighthouses in Rhode Island and do an album with them.  I went the other day and took the picture of one.  As I was doing my research I read about the lighthouse at Nyatt Point in Barrington.  It is on the list on the National Register but the owners because it is a private resident will not allow people on the property.  I don't think this is fair.  If your house is on the registry then at least you should allow people to see the outside.  I also learned about a number of lighthouses that are now not in instance.  One of them has a skeleton light and can be seem from the Mt Hope Bridge and another that is still there I never knew it was.  Next time I go over the bridge I will have to check it out.  Of course some of them are on island which you have to take a ferry to--Maybe in the summer.  Diana's basketball game is today and I will see Aimee which is always nice.  She is playing her daughter.  They play together on AAU.

Day # 2 Resolutions

I am still talking about resolutions.  Talked to my friend Lauren about hers. She told me that she would scrapbook one month but not which month.  We made tentative plans on Saturday night.  Her to organize her photos and me to do whatever. Lets see if she keeps it.   Well I finished resolution # 2 and 3.  I did the challenge.  It was to use pink brown and green.  For New Year's Day we went to breakfast at the Sunnyside in Warren.  If you dressed in pj's then the kids got a free breakfast and adults free Bloody Marys or mimosas.  YUM  One of Diana's old teacher--her husband was there with their daughter.  They just came back from Disney so it was fun talking about it.  Of course since I did the challenge I had scrap booked once this week.  Shit forgot to take my picture.  Got to do that.  There are so many scrapbooks that I have got to finish.  I really love doing it but sometimes don't have the time.  Well dinner is in the oven I thought we would have pork chops with a marinade but Kevin did this thing with diced tomatoes.  Smells good. 

First Day of my Blog

One of my New Year's resolutions is to start a blog.  I had started one before but like everything I have done I either got too lazy or stopped using it because more important things have happened in my life.  So here goes again.  New Years Resoultutions--Do we ever keep them?????   I feel like Carrie Bradshaw writing her column.  But I am not Carrie and Kevin isn't Big.  The resoulutions always include lose weight stop smoking excersize more  You get the picture.  Why is it never gain weight start smoking and excersizing less?????   My resoulutions include those but not the smoking part because I don't smoke.  Some of my resolutions include taking a least one photo per day.  But since I am taking the photo I need to scrapbook it which brings me to # 2 Scrapbook at least once per week.  My friend Lauren's resoultion is to scrapbook at least once per month.  Lets see if she does that..  Brings me into # 3 work on my lighthouse album.  I have been taking photos of lighthouses and really want to do an album of them.  I took one picture today.  Of course I thought it was in a different place that where it was.  I thought it belonged to Barrington when it was really in Warwick.  I want to make Sunday dinners.  Do you ever notice that as a family we don' t eat Sunday dinners anymore.  Lets see if that happens.  I also want to do the pinkstamper.com challenges.  The first one is due tommorrow.  Well I got the paper for it  pink brown and green  I guess that is a start.  Of course I have no idea where my photos are.  I guess that will be on the resolution list  BE MORE ORGANIZED  #8 START A BLOG-- Well I started it lets see if I finish it and lastly work on my hobby of genealogy.  WOW what a list lets see if I finish any of them.
