WAY TO GO INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

What a wonderful game for our WONDERFUL, AMAZING Indianapolis Colts! Thank you to all the Colts. This season has been wonderful and as the clock ticked down 0:02, 0:01, 0:00..... It was the perfect ending to our season.... The wonderful, upstanding, humble, honest, amazing Colts football team finally got their much deserved reward for consistently being the greatest, most upstanding football team. In my eyes, the Indianapolis Colts are definitely the greatest football team by far. Team wise and people wise, this team is one of the greatest football teams in history in my opinion. (and that is not just because I am from Indiana) To the memebers of the Indianapolis Colts and coaching staff: Thank you so much for your continuous efforts for our city, for our state, and for us. Congratulations on the Superbowl win that you worked long and hard to bring to the place it should be! You are definitely and all star team and staff!

Indianapolis Colts!

The Colts in the super bowl! Can this get any better? Anyone who watched the game with the Patriots knows that the Colts had to fight with not only their minds and bodies, but they had to fight with their hearts. That game was possibly one of the greatest football games I have ever had the opportunity to experience. To come back from being down 21-3 and win against the Patriots.... that definitely says great things about the Colts team as a whole. To not only prove that you can win against the Patriots in a HUGE game, but also work as a team in every sense of the word, that shows that the Indianapolis Colts are a powerful force. I am obviously a Colts fan. After the game I cried... I have never cried during a sporting event in my life. However, for some reason, these games have become personal. Seeing the criticism of Peyton Manning and our Colts Defense has pushed me to overcompensate possibly. I get very frustrated when Peyton Manning is criticized about not winning the big game. Peyton is obviously one of the greatest and most intelligent quarterbacks in history. Win or lose, I am a Peyton Manning fan. Our Defense has also been playing very well and no one is giving them their credit due. We could all look back at this past game and say that the defense gave up a lot of points in the beginning. However, our offense also didnt produce, yet when they started making plays we gave them credit. The Defense held the Patriots to only 13 points in the 2nd half. 13 points! Also in my PERSONAL opinion.... that last patriots touchdown was not a touchdown. I think the receiver's foot was out of bounds by a hair before he leaped to catch the ball. But none of the matters because the Colts won anyway. Had they lost because of that play.. I would have been devestated. All in all, I think we can all agree that our Colts team is something special. They deserve this opportunity, and I am definitely cheering them on! GO COLTS! WE LOVE YOU!

GO COLTS!!!!!!!

We are ready here in Indianapolis for the Colts vs Patriots game! It will be a good game! Reading on some of the message boards I have seen that more people prefer the Patriots and don't like the Colts. I don't know how that could be! The Indianapolis Colts are a great team and Peyton Manning is a great quarterback! I stand by my Indianapolis Colts and do believe they can win the big game! Some people are saying Peyton just can't win the big games, however we did win against the Patriots when no one thought we could..... no one seems to remember that. I think the Patriots are a great team. I am not a Patriot fan just because I love the Colts, but they are a great team. I think this will be a battle to the end. Good luck to the COLTS! GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPERBOWL!!!!!

Well, everything happened the way we hoped I believe here in Indiana. The San Diego Chargers and LT fell to the Pats and Tom Brady. Chicago beat Seattle and Shaun Alexander, and Philadelphia and Brian Westbrook fell to New Orleans and Drew Brees.

Our Colts Defense has been playing very well! I am very proud to be part of the same State as the Colts. I love our colts team! I don't necessarily agree with the fact that Indy is spending 15 million dollars to decorate the city for this weeks game considering there are so many more constructive ways we could be utilizing that money. That is poor decision making of Indy though not the colts who are wonderful!

I think this coming Colts vs Pats game will be a great game. I am praying for our colts and believing in blue! The Pats are a great team. It will be a close game I believe. If everything goes well, we will be in the superbowl in a few weeks! I BELIEVE IN BLUE!!!! GO COLTS!!

Importance of Family during the Holidays

I, myself, am guilty of the traditional holiday blues. Being overrun with family dinners, shopping, working, cleaning, decorating, and baking does take its toll on your mind, body, and time every year. As I sit and consider how many dinners I "have" to attend I can only think about how nice it would be to stay home. However, when I think about it differently, remembering the loved ones that have passed that I can no longer see, I honestly wish we could get together again. Which makes me realize that I should be visiting throughout the year more so there won't be so much stress to attend during the holidays. It is difficult to get it all done. Baking, decorating, working, cleaning, dinners, events, parties...... and then there is shopping. You want to send something thoughtful, but everything seems overdone. That is why you should consider checking out some of our gift baskets at http://www.thinkingofyou-giftbaskets.com. We have gifts that will make anyone smile. We can make custom gifts also with no extra fees. Check out our site and let us make your life and holidays much happier and easier!

My First After Thanksgiving Sale Experience

I promised myself that I absolutely would not go to any after Thanksgiving sales ever. I love to shop, but the thought of getting my cart stolen or being pushed over a silly sale made no sense. The thought of the traffic and the getting up early didnt attract me either. I actually only went to Walmart. I wanted the early bird special. There were 4-5 toys that I just had to get for my boys. The sales started at 5am until 11am. Thinking I would outsmart the store, I get there at 430 thinking I will load up my cart and wait until 5 to checkout. I get to the toy section only to find out that everything is put in a different location and they are giving out sale maps. There were two toys at one side of the store and 2 at the other. So I am thinking that I will start at one side and easily walk around to the other and checkout. As the lines build I realize that is not going to happen so easily. Thank goodness I wasn't waiting for a hand held DVD player! I heard through Walmart gossip that it got a little rowdy around them. Standing in line I get interviewed by a local paper. I am thinking "What's the big deal that this is going to be a story that needs interviews?" Well, the next day I am in the paper! I did get the toys I needed, thank goodness, but I reassured myself that next year I am definitely staying home. Either that or getting up earlier!

Holiday Blues

It is difficult sometimes around the holidays to actually spend quality time with your family. It seems as if that should be the easiest time to see the ones you love the most. However it seems like the holidays are actually for the ones you never see on a regular basis because when you do end up visiting them you never actually see your spouse or children. Everyone is always in a rush to get last minute gift shopping and cooking finished, including myself, so the thought of actually spending time with anyone seems out of the question. For some reason this oddity happens every holiday. So many times we hear that the holidays are times to spend with family, yet we hardly get much quality time in because we are always rushing to the next family function that we hear someone else is having. Yet, year after year we continue to repeat the same, monotonous schedule. Sometimes I feel as though I may be the only one in the world who feels this way, but if we could possibly manage our time better, then we may actually get to spend important holidays with the ones we are so close to.
