Hi there Friday!! Random things and Facts...

Three cheers for Friday! I know the other day's of the week get the shaft but whatcha gonna do... Friday is the best day of the 5 day work week.

Today's post is going to be pretty random - yes again... It takes skill to blog like you tweet ;-)

Hey did you know the first Porsche built was electric and that was in 1898, it had 3 hoursepower - It was the P1 and built by Ferdinand Porsche. The P1 has been sitting unseen in storage since 1902 - it has now been unearthed and is headed to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.. Full article if you are so inclined.

The P1

 Groundhog day is coming up - the only thing I have to say is I am sick of being cold..  Anyone know how we ending up with a "Whistle pig" telling us if winter was over or not? Why we celebrate Groundhog day. Yes, whistle pig is appropriate - "Groundhog," "woodchuck" and even "whistle pig" are different names for the same animal — Marmota monax, the largest species of ground squirrel in North America.

There is also a small, slight football game on Sunday - have you heard about it?

I went and bought new T-shirts, I have ordered the Alex and Ani Bronco's bracelet I wanted - it won't be here in time but no worries - I didn't buy it as game swag, I bought it because I wanted it.

Even went and got my "game day" mani...

My biggest problem is figuring out when I get to go to the bathroom - between the games and the cool ass commercials.. Usually I go during the game - but this year my team is playing so I can do that... Half time I guess. Since Ms. Jackson's nipples are always covered  why bother right.. joking calm down and no angry emails :-)

Have a great weekend!!!

2 days ... Are you ready??

We blinked and now Christmas is 48 hours away... Saturday I finished up my holiday shopping before the ice and snow storm hit.. Now I just have to sit and wrap it. Which will most likely be done with the fireplace going and a glass of wine.

Sunday we went up to the hospital to hang out with Dad where  he was waiting to get his permanent pacemaker implanted - which got delayed for an emergency  "heart episode" someone had the misfortune of being in the middle of. So that is supposed to happen today. It looks like he will be discharged Christmas Eve.

Sunday evening was date night with my Mama, we went to the dinner theater. One of me all time favorite actors George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) and his wife were the headliners. I had a wonderful time. I may have ate a little to much and then ordered a seriously decadent dessert ..... Though I only ate half of it - it was super rich...

Yes, that is a piece of chocolate cheesecake, covered in chocolate genache', with a cream puff on the side and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.. The other half is waiting for me in the fridge to have with my wine tonight while wrapping the last of the presents!! 

In other Sunday news my Broncos clinched the AFC West Championship for the 3rd year in a row and Payton Manning broke the record for most touchdowns in a season!! 

How was your weekend???
