Why I Love Football

Welp, it's the day we've all been waiting for. Friday is finally here. So let down your hair, get comfy and stay awhile!

Last night was the season opener of the best sport ever. Yep, NFL Football. Sorry I'm not sorry that I prefer NFL over college. I just can't get into college sports. Now don't get me wrong, I have a college team that way I can root for them whenever somebody asks, but the big boys are where it's at for me.

Football brings back some awesome memories. And I'd figure I'd share some of them with you today. Because I'm a kind person like that. Just agree with me.

When I was little, my dad was all football every Sunday. And it was magical. He always made some homemade cheese dip and little smokies with his secret awesome barbecue sauce. And it always tasted better than yours. I bet I'm right.

When touchdowns were made by the Cowboys, because ya know, we love them, he would always yell "Touchdown Notre Dame!" At the time I had no clue what in the hell he meant. But I get it now. Gotta love being an adult. The things that you learn to understand.

Then there were Sundays at my grandma's where everybody gathered too. My grandpa loves the Chiefs. Somebody help him. So, if there wasn't a Cowboy game on, we were watching them. Sometimes we'd flip back and forth. Wanna talk about confusing.

Then there was her food. If it was cold, there was the best potato soup I'd ever had the pleasure of eating. And if it was warm, my uncle was outside firing up the grill because duh, that's what America is made of!

Last night, there were a few happy tears when the fireworks started and the fans were screaming. I may not get all the technical stuff about football, but for the most part I understand the game. And I enjoy watching it. Just not every single game on a Sunday. Blake, that's for you if you ever read this.

Football is here. And I can't wait to see what happens! If you need me Sunday, I'll be watching to hope that the Cowboys beat the Giants. Ok, actually I'll be at work but I'll be checking my phone every 5 seconds. Sorry Erin!

linking up with Whitney too!

Breaking News

So not last week, but the week before I took an early weekend from the blog. I thought it was necessary. You see, that week was the week that my wife finished her chemo! So of course a celebration dinner was in order. She made me choose between Outback and Applebees. Good food vs. Okay cheap food. Cheap won of course, so Applebees it was.

I bought her her first post chemo drink and it was a summer squeeze and it was delish! I got a long island of course. All that booze in one glass gets a good buzz going. Two glasses, I probably shouldn't drive home. That's my go to at AppleBees. Never had one? Try there first.

I should have probably edited her instagram name but go ahead and stalk her. She'll appreciate it. 

Summer Squeeze

Our waitress was super sweet and gave us a free mini brownie sundae to celebrate chemo being over! But the wife doesn't like chocolate. Like hates it. But she choked it down like a pro. It wasn't funny but it was funny. 

After dinner we went over to Blake's and told him he HAD to go get drinks with us. Normally on a school night he's not down but since it was a big deal he obliged. We were gonna go to B-dubs but decided to go over to a friend's house and drink with them. Funny story, Wife asked the lady friend of the couple if she wanted to hang out...and she didn't really want to. So Blake asked her husband and he said sure. We took his answer and ran with it. We took a 16 pack of budlight and a 12 pack of straw-ber-itas so we weren't empty handed. And we had great timing. Apparently there was no power in part of town. And they just happened to live in that part of town. We all hung out and drank and then the boys wondered off to the highway. I'm surprised they didn't get ran over. We had great girl time. Much needed. I didn't get any pictures because I couldn't charge my phone and we were all sweaty and gross anyway. 

Wife wanted to go home by 1 so we said ok. And at 12:30 we headed to another group of friends' house. We had her convinced that she was going to be home by 1. We lied. We waited for an old friend of Blake's to show up. And he took forevvvver. In the mean time Wife was gettin it. Seriously, I highly suggest making one of your friends be sober for awhile and then take them out drinking. It doesn't take much and it's hilarious! I wish I could tell you all the shit that came out of her mouth. But it's not really blog appropriate. 

See, our group of friends aren't really blog appropriate. But we're fucking awesome. And we give each other a lot of shit. So even if I told you, you wouldn't laugh because it's a you have to be there moment. 

We got home about 3. Ooops. And we all had to work the next day. When we got home Blake and I took Olivia outside for about 5 minutes. We came in and Wife was fully dressed passed the hell out on the couch. She didn't even look comfortable. =) Love that girl. 

Love him.

I told her I wouldn't post this but whatever. 

Friends and shit.

And I have breaking news for you....

As of yesterday at 730 in the morning...

Wife is in remission!! No more cancer.

We're so happy!

Proceed to Party

It's Thursday...almost time for Friday. Woot woot. And since it's Thursday it's time to link up with one of with one of my sassy favorites!

We all know that I love me some tequilla. And if you don't know...well now you do. I love it and it makes me happy happy happy. This weekend I consumed tequila. A lot of it. I pregamed with it, then had huge margs. HUGE. 

Double fisting at its finest.

More beer...

And more beer and margs. And I had no idea she was doing that! 

Oops...

And my personal favorite. It was just time to lay down. At least I threw up a peace sign. lol. 

I love parties and drinking. And this was sooo much fun! 

What A Weekend

Ahhhhhh!!!! I had a fabuous weekend but it went by so fast and I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow. Sad face. I know that I said last week that I hate doing weekend reviews and I really do, but this weekend has to have one. Actually, it will probably be reviewed all week. I promise not to go on about the same stuff over and over though. =)

We had a fabulous time! I don't think I've ever had a girl's weekend and this one just set the bar for the rest of them. I don't even know what I want to write about today so I'll just show you some pictures.

Wife, Myself, Auntie at BJ's Brewery

Our feet on the floor of the Dallas Cowboy Stadium

Seriously I was so excited to see this. I wrote about how I wanted to be one once, so 

this made me so so so happy!

Wife, Kyla, Myself, Auntie...get your drink on!

The one and only Mr. Eric Church!

Kenny 

The new tattoo that Auntie and I got. I just want you to know how bad this effin hurt

Wife and I before we left for our roadtrip!

There's a lot more where this came from. Fun stories, embarrassing pictures, all kinds of stuff! 

Come back tomorrow!

Party People

Two posts in one day...why of course. I mean it's this day:

Of course I have to blog again!

This may have been read before my other post of the day, and if you missed that shit, go back and read it. Pure gold.

Anyway...I was gonna post all the fun drinks I wanna try I'm gonna try this summer. But pinning shit from pinterest is a pain in the ass anymore. Get your shit together pinterest people. You made it way to hard to share our pins on our blogs.

So...now I'm sitting here thinking of what to talk about now. I've still got nothing. So here are some of my favorite party pictures. These are near and dear to my heart. And they say so much about my amazing group of friends.

Notice a theme? I like to make the kissy face/duck face when I've been drinking. And on that note...I need to get drunk soon. Plan. 

Now The Party Can Begin

When I found out that my the fantabulous Stephanie was having a party themed link up, I thought to myself "Self, how appropriate is that!" She is the queen of partying. And I knew i had to link up. Because duh, that's what awesome blog friends do.

I couldn't decide what the hell I wanted to post about since I don't really go out a lot. Than I realized that you guys have never seen footage from the birthday of all birthdays...21!

That's the boy dancing with me. 

That Wife girl.

Again, and our friend in the background

Everybody! My auntie is on crutches.

Auntie and I 

Again

The Princess

My auntie got a limo for all of us to bar hop in Joplin. It was pretty fun. There was some drama and if I could go back and do it again, I would. But I would do it right this time. The boy got more drunk than I did and puked all over said limo. I happened to put my hand in it! lol. And I had really good hair going on then too. I want it back please.

Maple Leaf Weekend

It's time for my weekend update. It was just way to much for a Monday though.

I had a great weekend! I was off of work all weekend long and I got to spend it with people who mean the most to me!

Friday night boyfriend and I went to another couple's house to drink too much beer and play crazy drinking games. Y'all ever heard of Presidents and Assholes? If you haven't I suggest you look it up. Normally we get  crazy drunk but because everybody had to get up in the morning we weren't passing out drinks like we do. I didn't take a lot of pictures. I did get this one though

This was boyfriend's hand...see I told y'all he can be quite evil. He didn't get this once...but TWICE! 

Saturday was the one and only Maple Leaf festival! I got all super excited for it just to be let down by the stupid parade. It was terrible. There were hardly any floats, the bands didn't really perform, there were two 15 minute breaks in the parade and so many politicians! I'm sorry but that's just not what I came for. And it's a long parade. Not some rinky dink bullshit...so it could have been better. I wanted to day drink and I think if I would have been day drunk it would have worked out better. True story. 

My momma and Teag

The wife and I 

Boyfriend and Teag

Teag and I 

Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the whole group, with my momma, my aunt or boyfriend =(

I do have to say though, I was quite pleased with the company I had. Those six people with 

me that day really mean a lot to my heart and I wouldn't have had it any other way. 

I did take one picture during the parade too! We have a place here that makes dynamite. They had a float for the first time this year and it was really cool! I'd say best thing in the parade. 

Yes, that's confetti! They had "dynamite" that shot out confetti. Pretty fucking awesome if you ask me.

After the parade we all went to lunch at a local Chinese place. It was just ok. Why did we eat lunch at a restaurant when there is plenty of fried food to be had by all? Beats me. I didn't eat very much so that I could have the fried foods. See I had a fat weekend and I'm not ashamed. I ate whatever I wanted because starting yesterday I'm watching what I'm eating. Whole different post though. Let's look at my food intake. 

Ok, so this wasn't mine but I had a lick and it was good!

Roasted corn on the cob. Umm yes! I put garlic salt and pepper on it and it was delish.

Look at all that butter on the top of that paper towel. Mmmmmm. lol.

Funnel cakes...I never eat a whole one by myself. I appreciate not visiting the dentist.

Teag loves sugar so she munched out on it.

Again, not mine but I had some. 

And finally day drinking...haha. Just this one though. I was too tired for more.

Seriously there was so much more I wanted to try. There was a caramel apple delight...it looked good! 

And I just love fair foods. I can't help it. 

We walked around and looked at the arts and craft show. Teag got a really cool name plate for her wall in her room.

She loves hearts, peace signs, and rainbows so this made her really happy. I think my daughter was a hippie in another life. 

And all I got was this 

A really super sore sunburn. 

And memories to last a life time! 

I seriously could not have been happier with my day. After we were done Wife and I went 

to boyfriend's house and hung out with him for a bit. Then we went to eat at Olive Garden with my aunt

for a great girlie dinner! 

Sunday was filled with some more family time! Auntie and I took Teag to a corn maze/fall festival type deal.

I was actually looking for a pumpkin patch but fell into the corn maze thing. It was fun. And we got to buy a pumpkin so now we finally have one! 

See how excited she was! I just love it. lol. 

And that was my fabulous weekend. I'm pretty happy about it. =)
