I’m still alive. . .

shove.jpgI’ve been very busy lately with hardly any time to read! But, it’s all been fun stuff. I’ve been going to my son’s football games (they’re undefeated) and going to family gatherings. My younger sister got married this weekend! She was a VERY beautiful bride, and it was just so much fun to see her and my other family members during the festivities. I hadn’t seen some of my cousins for years and years, and it was great to catch up. We had to drive 16 hours total, though, so I haven’t been able to blog or stay up with everyone else’s.

In other news, the Broncos lost again, but at least it was to a good team (the Colts).

Kentucky is 5-0 and ranked #8!!
Bengals play the Patriots on Monday night, so that will be a tough game.

office.jpgIn TV news, I was disappointed with the season premiere of The Office. Just didn’t like it much at all. Haven’t been able to watch the premiere of Heroes yet, but I have it recorded. Ditto Stargate Atlantis. Life is too full for TV these days, but thank goodness for TiVO! I’ll get to them when I can.
