Oh shit, hey Monday...

So, even though this won't post until whatever time I choose to schedule it, here I am at like 2-ish am. Baking. Thanksgiving dinner numero uno is tomorrow..err..today & alas, we do put the PRO in PROCRASTINATE & we must live up to our own expectations.
lol

So, how about this past weekend??
How bout them Dawgs?
And them damn Falcons? Broncos?
How bout them AMA's?

No but really, let's talk about all that shizz...

This weekend was okay. Not bad but not wonderful either.
My attitude was in full swing. Dammit.

Saturday:
Those Dawgs. Oh, such a bittersweet game Saturday. It was Senior Day & it was the LAST game that all 28 of our Seniors will play Between the Hedges. Including Aaron Murray, our beloved QB. He's going to be missed so much. We played Kentucky, which most people know that UK isn't really strong in the Football area (they're way better in basketball.) So it was a blowout basically. & It was a blackout, meaning fans were told to wear black. These are amazing, I love it. My Gurley man, while he's not a senior-I have to mention him, he did awesome. Murray was able to toss passes to I think at least 2 or 3 other seniors for TD's. It was just...great. But then...Aaron was sacked & didn't come up very well. Our boy, 2nd to last game with UGA, ever, & he tore his ACL. :( He's done for the season, which means he doesn't get to play against Georgia Tech, our in-state rivals. I'm so, so, sad for him. That was an emotional game for him & for him to end up injured breaks my heart. He's having surgery this week & I'm hoping that this doesn't hurt him too bad come Draft time. We love you, Aaron Murray, I am honored to have been at the game where you first played as Starter QB back in 2010 & ever since then, you've made us Dawg fans so proud! I hope recovery from this is swift and smooth & that you soar in the NFL and in life in general. Once A Dawg, Always A Dawg.

Sunday:
The Falcons lost again, I didn't get to watch this time though. I'm not a fairweather fan. I love them regardless. I'll say two things though. 1. They are hurting from getting ride of Abraham & yes, even Michael Turner & a few other key players. & 2. I feel this is some weird sign that they don't need to spend 1.2 BILLION dollars on a new stadium, like they are planning to do. The Georgia Dome is JUST FINE.
The Broncos... -___- The Broncos HAD that game. There are many, many times where they just didn't get it done. The game still ended up in OT though and, because of a special teams mistake, they basically set up a nice field goal position for the Pats to take the W. WHY?! I'm annoyed by it. And I think Peyton is too. Actually I'm sure the whole damn team is. But it's whatever I freakin' guess. Again, I still love them too.

The AMA's.
Anyone watch those? If you follow me on the bird, chances are you saw me blowing up your news feed.
I Loved 1D's performance, DUH! I actually liked Lady Gaga's toned down performance. Ariana Grande had a great performance. To me, Nelly made. my. night. Not only did I get to hear FL/GA Line & him sing Cruise remix, but then they broke into "Ride Wit Me". OHMAHGAH, I may or may not have teared up a little. ... Is that weird? Idgaf if it is or not. I absolutely loved it. I mean SO. MUCH. I LOVED JT's performance. I thought Kesha looked beautiful in her kind of toned down cowgirl look for Pit Bull's performance. I like Kesha anyway. Didn't care for Miley's performance. I like TLC's performance, I just don't like that they had a fill in (Lil Mama) for Left Eye, I hoped they would do a hologram of Left Eye, but as a couple of people pointed out, it would have been too painful. I mean, think about it, it really would have been a sad thing. Luke Bryan was amazing -as always. Imagine Dragons were really great, I'd love to see them live.

I sound like an absolute Taylor Swift hater, and I'm not completely that. But I think some others should have won in the some of categories that she was in. Like favorite female Country artist, she was up against Carrie Underwood & Miranda Lambert. I may be partial, but Miranda should have won that, in my personal opinion. I don't agree with Rihanna winning the first ever Icon Award, or maybe it was Bill Maher calling her "the voice of our time". Either way I don't agree. Again, I like her, but I just don't agree. I didn't care for Macklemore's acceptance speech, no need to bring up the Trayvon Martin case. Again, my personal opinion.

Imagine Dragons won the Alt. Rock category, which I won't disagree with. They are good stuff.

What I do not agree with is this whole "Pop/Rock" shit. What even is that? Every one in those categories I like but they. are. not. rock. They are pop. What the fack is so wrong with just calling it Pop? I'll tell you what (I think), the producers and what have you are covering their asses for not including rock. Didn't work. I don't know who they are trying to fool. Rock isn't dead, there is still a large demographic for it.

Angers me.

 

But anyway, enough about that. It's now been almost two hours & I've made a whopping ONE pie, I've also managed to overfill said pie before baking it, making a mess on the stove. End result looks good. So I guess we'll see what the verdict is later. It's my first time making a pecan pie. So wish me luck. Anywho, I also dropped my mom's computer...because I suck. It made me sick to my stomach & I'm pretty sure made my anxiety kick in to full swing. Anxiety at 3am, after drinking a beer & being tired, yea...no good. Oh AND I was getting ready to make my other two pies when I realize, OH YAY, I forgot to get one of the ingredients at the grocery store. BUST. And now that "morning" is quickly approaching I'm realizing that I also have to squeeze in time to get away to go pay a bill that's due today.

I think I need a nap.

 

SO, Goodnight, Good Morning, Happy Monday.

I'm taking a break from MFP for the most part today, because it's going to be ridiculous to log ALL of that food. Or I may log lunch and stuff & just leave dinner off.

 

Anyway, this is a week of eating, I have a dinner tonight & one on Thanksgiving day & I am ready for both! Just want to say, I hope that any of you who are working on weight loss can enjoy Thanksgiving without being too hard on yourself. Loosen the reigns just a bit. If you don't think you'll have self control & you're worried about falling completely off the wagon assign someone to call you out if you start stuffing your face too much. (Just don't get mad at them when they do). Otherwise, enjoy your turkey coma & pick yourself back up on Friday (or Sat---Sun---Monday) ;)

How was your weekend? Watch any Football? If so, how did your team do? Watch the AMA's? What'd you think?
Raise your hand if you are ready for Thanksgiving! Family time & food! MMM<

 

Didn't I say I needed a nap?...

Later!
