Baby, It's Cold Outside

Holy crap it's cold. Now, as you know I originate from the frozen tundra we call Michigan where it is very common for the temperature to dip into the negative numbers this time of year. However, when your apartment is also an icebox no matter how high the thermostat is turned up it makes it very difficult to stay warm. I've got Marshall sleeping in his fleece sleepsack right now. The only saving grace is that for some reason our bedroom heats up to the temperature of hell overnight so I know that baby will stay warm while he's sleeping.

Today we braved the cold 10 degree temperature for a trip into the city to visit Abuela Olvera who is leaving for Ecuador on Friday for a few months for warmer weather. Luckily we got this cool reindeer suit for Christmas to keep us nice and toasty warm on the trip.





Oh... and the Jets lost the AFC to the Pitsburgh Steelers. As a Michigan native I am conditioned to not side with the Green Bay Packers so I will have to root for the Steelers in two weeks. I'm not sure what our plans are for Super Bowl Sunday but hopefully they involve a nice quiet evening at home.

The countdown has started for my return to work: 25 days.

J-E-T-S JETS, JETS, JETS!

So the New York Jets are one game away from going to the Super Bowl. You can only imagine the Jets-fever that has taken over New York and New Jersey. There was a pep ralley in Times Square this week in which thousands of people showed up for. One of my friend's husband few out to San Diego for the sole purpose of attending the Jets/Chargers game last weekend. This is a big deal especially after the New York Yankees won the World Series.





For those of you who don't know, Gang Greene is not the most reliable team in the NFL and haven't had a very good track record in years. So true Jets fans have every right to be excited about their team's potential appearance in the Super Bowl. However, what irritates me a little is that all of a sudden all thes "Jets fans" are coming out of the woodwork. Where were you all when your team was struggling and needed your support? Personally I think you should be a fan of your team through thick and thin. Now, before everyone tells me I don't know what I'm talking about, I am an outspoken fan of one of the NFL's worst teams. So bad, they even broke a record last year by finishing the season without a single win... the Detroit Lions. Everyone who knows me knows that I follow my Detroit teams no matter what. Even when the Tigers blow their season in game 163...

Go Lions! There's always next year!
