Beat Michigan....GO BUCKS!!!

(The Buckeye Guy and I. I am sure that he will be at the game.)

This football game is the one of the oldest football rivalries. Today is the biggest game of the season  for The Ohio State University. I must say as an OSU fan, that OSU fans are fickle. We do not care if we lose every game of the season ( not true, but sometimes feels that way), but we demand a win against Michigan. The whole town becomes like a ghost town during the game. If you really like to shop or what to go out to eat, you will be able to do it with ease while this game is on. I will be sporting my OSU gear and will probably be watching the game with the hubby. All I have to say is GO BUCKS!!! Beat Michigan.

Meet Me at the Movies

I  have been waiting to see this movie since I saw "Twilight". I read all the books with in a week and a half. So if you get to the theatre before me, save  me a few seats  for in the middle section of the theatre. My special friend, Ben, and I will be there with our popcorn ( I am ignoring the recent report of that a medium popcorn is like several fast food meals) , drink and our usual fruit snacks. I will probably be annoyed with all the previews that they will show since I will be so ready to see the movie.

If "New Moon" is not your cup of tea, the movies "Precious" and "The Blind Side" also come out today. I will be seeing "Precious" on Sunday with my sorority sisters and I will probably see "The Blind Side" sometime during  the Thanksgiving weekend.

I love going to the movies, my hubby on the other hand does not. He will go if I ask, but most of the time he wants to rent a movie since he feels he has a "movie theatre" in his "Man-room". I admit it is nice to watch movies in the "Man-room" but it is also nice to get out. When I am at the movies, I always get exicited to see what is coming out next, really can not get that feeling when watching a movie at home.

If you go to the movies this weekend, have fun. Let us know what movie you saw and what you thought about it.

Crafty Thursday

At my second job working with my "special friend" Ben, we have a craft party every year.  Looking on the Martha Stewart website, good ole Martha, I found this idea. I think that this would be an easy and fun ornament to make. My Christmas tree is full of ornaments that we have made at these parties. I think that it makes my tree look so original with the mix of store bought and handmade ornaments. Here is what you will need:

Tools and Materials
Needle-nose pliers or wire cutters
16-gauge copper wire, or 22-gauge green floral wire, cut to 9-inch lengths
72 buttons for each wreath
Scissors
Satin ribbon, 1/8 inch wide and 6 inches long
Seam binding for decorative bow

Button Wreath Ornament How-To
1. Using pliers, make a small loop at one end of the wire.
2. Thread buttons onto the wire until you have enough to form the size of the wreath you want. Our wreaths are 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
3. Using pliers, bend the plain end of the wire around the looped end. This will form the wreath.
4. Use the satin ribbon to make a loop for hanging the wreath; tie the ribbon in a knot about 3 inches above the wreath.
5. Tie a bow of seam binding to decorate the wreath.

5 Random Thoughts

1. 
   
   Today is day 15 of  my National Blogging challenge and I am trying to find something to talk about. I started this blog because I got such a response from my wedding blog and I wanted to record my life after getting married. I really enjoy talking to other bloggers out there and hearing about their life and their thoughts on things. I need some feed back. Talk to me. Tell me what you are thinking? Is there something that you want to talk about? 15 more days until I finish the National Blogging challenge.
   
   
   
2. 
   
   Really trying to think of what I am going to take for Thanksgiving dinner. This year...since I am married I have to go to my husbands' family home for dinner. There always to many people there..I am use to a small gathering. Thank goodness I am dragging my mom with me and even think that I am driving seperately so that I can get home and get myself ready for "Black Friday" morning. I usually make cheesecake for dessert, but I know that one of my husbands sisters already makes that. Any suggestions on what I can make quick, easy and is going to taste good?
   
   
   
3. 
   
   The recent report of  women not needing a mamogram until 50 is a little concerning. I think that this report is just going to confuse women even more. I hope that women consult their doctors and continue to do their self breast exams, so that early detection is still key.
   
4. 2 more days until "New Moon".
   
5.  The show Glee comes on tonight. Hope that I can stay awake to watch it.
   

I hope that you have a great Hump day!!

I Have Become a Germ-A-Phob

Every since this H1N1 has come about, I have become a total germ-a-phob. I home over almost every night and take a hot shower, hoping to get all the germs off of me. I need to take out stock in Pruell, I am constantly using the stuff which is totally making my hands dry. Every time I hear someone cough or sneeze in a store or at work, I want to run out of the area.  I think that I became more of a germ-a-phob when my BF husband came down with H1N1 and was in the hospital for a long period of time. Luckily he is doing better now and will be going home soon. I need to just calm down and continue with the precautions that my local health department has advised. With all the news, of long lines of people trying to get the vaccine and people dying from it, I think that it has just put me in a panic. I am going to be cool though. I will just continue to clean my house with HUGE amounts of bleach and wash my hands constantly with soap and water and lots, and lots of Purell.  Stay well.
