NFL & other stuff
1.
It's so funny so I never thought I'd get into football. But I love watching it! I think it's cuz I've been living in areas where the teams were good - when the Bears made it to Superbowl, I was living in Chicago. And when it was Giants vs. Patriots I was living in Connecticut surrounded by fans from both teams. Lexi and I didn't have cable so we ate hamburgers at a bar just to watch the game *laughs*
I was so sad that the Cardinals didn't win this year. Granted Steelers played a great game and I was behind them throughout the playoffs but I figured I had to root for the underdog.
Can't wait for next season to start! =)

So I've started surfing blogs again when I need to pass time during gaps at work. Steph reminded me that I should probably blog too since others would be bored as well.

My new obsession is HGTV/W Network. I have a few mornings off during the week since I work later into the evening so I've been loving all those decorating & renovating shows. They make it look so easy. I tried redecorating Alex's parents' home in Waterloo in my mind - even did the floorplans and such but it's a lot harder than it looks. I think I would like to hire one of those designers or better yet, just appear on the show and have them ake care of everything.

I've started reading books again, especially this past week when Alex was off on interviews and I needed something to preoccupy myself. I finished The Time Traveller's Wife. Such a good book! I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good read. It's written in an interesting style...literally jumping back and forth in time to put the whole story together. I could totally relate to certain parts of the story too since Alex and I have been long-d all along.
I'm also working through the Twilight series on several ppl's recommendation. It really is not that good and I cannot understand the hype. It's definitely for teens but even ignoring that fact, I feel as though the author stole the storyline from another series that I had read...I mean if you're going to use someone else's idea, at least improve on it!

Alex is in Toronto for the next 2 weeks...if anyone's up for getting together, drop us an e-mail. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with just me after he's gone =P
