A new week, a lot of work. I decided to take kind of a 3 day weekend from working on things. I turned my laptop on for about 30 minutes since Friday and that was to just write blog posts of Saturday and Sunday. So now I have a lot to catch up on. I have created a new exercise plan as well and I am going to stick to it. If I can dedicate 30 minutes a day to write a blog post every day, I can dedicate 30 minutes a day to exercising as well. I’ve put on too much weight over the last 3 weeks. I just need to get back down to a manageable level of weight, basically so I can fit into all of the clothes that I don’t fit into anymore.
Last night’s game with the Bears and Eagles was a great game. We won and that was awesome, but it was also great to see Cutler throw a touchdown for Diabetes as well. The best part of the game last night was when it was over. McNabb went over to Cutler and pulled him away from the cameras and talked him for several minutes. This gave me the chills. Cutler isn’t playing that great right now, but neither are his teammates (as a former QB myself, I could tell a lot of receivers were running wrong patterns and it’s not always his fault). And the city is going to start turning their back on Cutler and McNabb of all people know how that feels. I think that was a stand up classy thing for McNabb to do.
Moving on, my niece will be 3 weeks old tomorrow, I can’t believe that. Tomorrow is also the birthday of the twins. When I refer to “the 
twins” this is what I mean. My aunt, who was more like a sister to me, has 4 little girls, and they have called me Uncle Chris since day 1 and I have called them my nieces, so I still call them my nieces even though they are really cousins. Confusing? I know. Here is a most recent photo I have my new niece.
Well, now it’s time to get back to work. Have a great, short week.
I know all about confusing families! My boyfriend’s dad had 5 kids from his previous marriage, so all his half-brothers are my parents’ ages! So my boyfriend has nieces and nephews who are our age, the oldest niece is 27 and the youngest is 19. So it’s the opposite from you – they are nieces and nephews that are more like cousins. But it still makes for a fun family reunion. 🙂 Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Hi from another former Pennsylvanian!
I can’t agree more about the best moment of the game. That was such a cool thing to see. I like to imagine that they were discussing their mutual interest in diabetes camps though. hahahahaha.
