Football

Hubby was happy!

Go STEELERS!  Bring on the J-E-T-S.....Jets, Jets, Jets......

There is some irony there, isn't there??? Let's see who understands it!

The weekend in Pittsburgh

How many times can I say that I love the City of Pittsburgh!!

I so enjoy all there is to see and do!  This time we took the tour of U Pitt.  We all enjoyed learning about the school and the town and their academic/athletic and all other programs.  The campus was nice.  It is an urban campus and not as much green space as I would like, but we are going to take my daughter there next August to see a few schools in the area.  We will see if she likes it.

Station Square is always fun and even though we were many, many miles from home, we met people from our own home town in the Station Square Mall.......it is a small world.....

We stayed outside the city this time, and found a beautiful church (we find a new one, every time we go!)

And of course, our trip wouldn't be complete without dinner at Lidia's.  I bought my niece her new children's book there and it is signed!

And last but not least, the Steelers won!  It doesn't get any better than that!

Thank you Tony and Debbie for another wonderful weekend!!!!

Pasta Party

My last Christmas Party before the real Christmas Party was tonight. It was a wonderful Polish and Italian, Pasta and Pierogi Party. Thank you, Maryanne, Catie and Andrew!

We made the pasta, ate the pasta, drank the wine, sang the carols (and a bunch of other songs), got to visit with a ton of other people and just had a beautiful time.

Cookies are all made, snow is all shoveled (we got about 1 foot).....Just waiting for the holiday to begin!!!!!!!!

Oh, and the Steelers won, who knew?

Weekend

Saturday was my errand day, cleaning day, cooking day and spend some time with the kids day!

Sunday was church with Nonni, back to my house for an early Turkey dinner as we won't be with Nonni for Thanksgiving this year. We spend Thanksgiving with my family not my husbands. Then my mother-in-law came over for something to eat and to have some apple pie. My first time for Apple Pie in a long time. I used some fresh apples and one jar of my canned apple pie filling. It was THE best pie I ever made.....And it went fast!!!!

Then out the door to sell some gold jewelry for my mom and sister. I have already sold all my old gold last year so I had none left. They both got nice checks.

What happened to the Steelers? I can't even watch them anymore - just horrible.

Then home to the hot tub with my husband. We haven't used it as much in the past few months. We have both been very busy. But winter is our favorite time to use it. We spent 45 minutes just enjoying the beautiful evening!

Then back in to the house, made my third loaf of bread of the weekend and folded three more loads of laundry (Nonni had done two for me this afternoon). Yep, my boys are home - and I still have a load in the washer and the dryer....

Watched one of my favorite shows - The Amazing Race - no one left the show this week- no elimination this week..... And now I am ready for bed....

MNF

Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!

My Husband

My husband and I have only been married for a year. He has been a part of my life for five years. I am extremely lucky to have found such a great guy. (Don't get me wrong, he does drive me nuts, sometimes, but don't they all!) He is a huge Steelers fan. So guess where he is headed today? Yep...Pittsburgh for the opening day game of the NFL. He packed last night and couldn't find his new Steelers yellow sunglasses and new Steelers hat...he searched for over an hour....and he finally found them....under the bed. The guy is a Steeler fan(atic)! He has everything imaginable that has a Steelers insignia.

Anyway, I got up at 5:00 to send him on his way with five other Steelers fan(atic)s. Imagine six men, all dressed in their favorite clothes, heading to their favorite city with 1,000,000 (probably more) other people dressed exactly like they are and doing the same thing they are. They say Steeler fans are the best fans and I think they are right. Guess what, he takes me to a game every year. Guess what else? He bought me the same type of clothes. And Guess what else..I love this man, so I wear these clothes.....Let's go Steelers - beat the Titans!
