6-2


oh yeah. oh yeah. oh yeah. incredible fantastic awesomeness. am i being clear here? that i am really pleased with tonight's performance by the steelers? because if i'm not being clear, i can be a bit more emphatic. O MY GOSH OUR DEFENSE IS SO STINKING GOOD!
there, is that better? i hope so. because i want to express that this was a huge win. we needed this win after last weeks dismal outcome. we needed this for the momentum of our season, to maintain our lead over the ravens, to prove that we can beat the nfc east, and to rebuild some confidence. our defense came up huge tonight. i mean, they were stifling. 7 sacks. they held portis, the league's leading rusher, to 51 yards rushing. they intercepted jason campbell twice (he hadn't been picked off yet this year!). they only gave up 6 points on two field goals, both of which came on very short fields for the redskins. our defense was awesome.
the offense, on the other hand, left a little to be desired, but it seems somewhat clear that ben's been playing pretty hurt. and maybe for awhile. it was good to see willie back carrying the ball; it was good to see mewelde continue to contribute, and it was good to see santonio put the ganja down long enough to score a touchdown. now we are the second best team in the afc and looking forward to peyton and the colts coming to our place next week.
oh, one more thing. even the national media is impressed tonight at the number of steeler fans and terrible towels in fedex field in d.c. don't be surprised, people. that's how we roll. steeler nation, baby. halfway through the season and 6-2.

i'm still buzzing from that game too!

(the announcer annoyed me when he said he was dissappointed with all the steeler fans being there and all the terrible towels...i was like "w.t.freak?..i hate you")

they rocked my world last night.

I hated to see Big Ben go out, but it was nice to see a back up QB come in and do well. I think the Steelers could have taken down the Giants if not for a few bad plays b/c neither team was really on - we definitely needed to not be completely swept by the NFC East - it was hard enough for me to see them lose to the Eagles

so, i thought i was moving far away from steeler country when i moved to Kentucky. however, i have seen multiple steeler bumper stickers, AND i saw a little Ben Roethlisberger on Halloween. steeler country is everywhere!

oh, and i miss you, shannon, jack and cade. i make chad look at all of your pictures.

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
