Thursday Pops!

Hey, the National Football League season starts tonight! My team, the Dallas Cowboys, don't kick off until Sunday night. So tonight's game, between the Packers and the Saints, is well, a warm up game for me. I just love me some football..

And to go along with that football, I got my popcorn ready. I didn't make it. Not this time anyway. I stopped at a gourmet popcorn and candy store called Yummi Pop. I'd read about them in the a suburb news paper and turns out Yummi Pop is just a couple minutes from my job. It's run by two ladies, I think they're sisters and been open for a year. The cool thing is, they let you sample popcorn before you buy. Just to give you an example, I bought Dill Pickle for a chum of mine, and for me? Loaded Baked Potato. Kid you not! These ladies know their corn!

So on this first night of NFL football 2011, got my popcornm a cat to pet and it's First Down and a million yards to go.

Gotta love it and I do!

Sunday

Hey, I dealt with rain and fog on the usual 25 minute drive, which was longer, to Inspiring Body of Christ Church today. I almost didn't go. My bed was real warm and cozy. The cats purt near pinned me down.

Snow came later, while we were in service. The camera guys showed us the parking lot as the snow fell. Not matter, the choir sang this song--which brings me to tears each time I hear it. Today was no different. I AM a Woman of God. I make no apologies for my Praise. Just love this song.

I smile at the thought of folks who have known me for years and wonder when this whole God thing happened. I could drink me some beer like water as well as pot a shot of whiskey like it was a mint. When the void in my life was too big for me to continue to ignore and I was at the bottom of a valley where I had no ladder to climb up and out of--it happened. .

Oh and the snow? Some parts received more than others. By the time I got home, I had nothing but mud puddles in my front and back yard. No snow. I am so OK with that.

The day was good. Rain, fog, snow and all. The Packers beat the Eagles. The french vanilla cappuccino helped too. But God.

Sunday Short

My oh my. The Dallas Cowboys lose to Green Bay today. I'm honest, there was about 5:48 in the game when Tony Romo was intercepted on the goal line. I switched over to my FiOS On Demand to watch the "Desperate Housewives" episode to get me caught up. The coming week on Dallas sports radio--I ain't gonna listen.

Both my teams lost this weekend. Iowa Hawkeyes start out 9-0 and are not destined for the Rose Bowl. And the Dallas Cowboys--my oh my, not happy am I.

I could go on and on--yes, I got my praise on today at Inspiring Body of Christ Church. As much as I've grown in a positive accustom to Pastor Rickie Rush-I have yet to join IBOC. Could be commitment to that church? My previous church home, of five years, I didn't join either--althought I was there every Sunday. Participated in ministries, including adult Sunday school. More prayer needed.

In the meantime, I'm sad about my teams. Both SHOULD have been victorious. I am heartsick, really. What mends a broken heart?

Blue Bell Ice Cream. And tonight Coffee flavored will heal all.
