What's Been going on with... Sports!

Sunday before last, Chad took me to a Steelers game. I was a bit leery to go, since pretty much from birth, I've been a Browns fan, but the thought of going to a pro football game with Chad was exciting. It only took us a few hours to get to Pittsburgh, the drive Early on Sunday was quite pleasant. We parked about 1.5 - 2 mi from the stadium, and walked much of the way. By the way, I did get blisters on my tootsies - not fun!

Here are some pics from the day:

DG, this one is for you -- Not sure what building this is, but I loved the shape of it - the open middle and the arch.

I think this one is from after the game, but along the river boats were lined up, some 3 or 4 deep, to "tailgate." Can you call it tailgating if you are on a boat? I'm not familiar with nautical terms, but if you know what it's called - let me know!

More tailgating....

Skyline -

This is a fountain in the city -- I think right were the 3 rivers meet. We could see part of it from our seats. Personally, I think it's a bit phallic (and pink) but who am I to judge city art.

Chad and the stadium

We got there a *bit* early. It was very very hot in the sun, so we walked around the stadium for a while. I took this picture before our section was full -- loved the pattern.

Right after one of the touchdowns - the fans are wild! Off in the distance (to the right of the scoreboard) you can see the fountain. And about the scoreboard -- there are 2 bottles of ketchup on either side. After a touchdown, they tilt, the lids come off and Ketchup "pours" out of the bottles. I didn't get to see them close though. I wonder if that was Teresa's idea?

And finally, this is the condition that our neighboring fans left their seat. I think they went through about 7 bags of peanuts and several drinks. Before you can say it, no, it's not the trash from the people behind us - we were in the last row of the section with a wall behind us.

I ending up with probably a mix of sun poisoning (if that's possible while wearing 50 SPF) and food poisoning... ugh... so I was out of commission on the way home. Thanks Chad for driving.

Steelers won - Seahaws lost.

Interesting fact: did you know that during WWII, when most of the eligible men were enlisted, the Steelers and the Eagles combined to form the Steagles?

What's Been going on with... the House!

Good news, Good news! We are about 22 days from moving in to our new house!

I love the way it's turning out - I have so many cabinets - the carpet looks really cool, my flowers are pretty and we will finally have a bedroom with more than 9 inches between the side of the bed and the wall.

Don't have any recent photos on this computer, I'll post as soon as I get them!

What's Been going on with...My Car!

And to continue the updates with what's been going on in my life... My car was hit the other day! I was turning left, the other van was turning right and decided my bumper would make a great target. He just bumped it and kept on moving. Luckily - Izzy was able to scribble down his license, I got a description of the guy (he looked right at me as he passed). I had to drive "downtown" to HQ to fill out a police report.

The plate came through to a 26 year old, who matched the description I gave. We have his address and info. No luck searching for this guy on google or even facebook. However, we did luck out with the county courts! Apparently, this guy has been quite busy while possessing criminal tools and doing other assorted driving crimes. 2004 was a good year - no reports (he must have been in jail, or out of the country, or something.)

So, without further ado -- here is the damage:
