Blog Fail

So. I haven't posted a single blog entry in the month of December...and it's the 28th. Bad blogger! Bad, bad! I guess you have permission to yell at me...but it's so much easier to just post a pithy remark as my status on Facebook. I find that I possess a wicked wit in the Facebook medium.

However can I redeem myself? Oh, I know! Pictures!! How about pictures of our recent trip to Soldier Field to see the Bears play!? Bonus!


St. Louis Rams....boooooooo! No Kurt Warner = no Cindi love.
Who is this cutie?
Beeeeeeeer. Or as we like to call it at the various sporting events we attend..."liquid gold."


After watching the kicker tackle the punt returner, I decided he was my new favorite guy. Too bad that three weeks later I can't remember his name. Better luck next time, kicker man. I'm sorry I didn't find you memorable enough to bother to remember your name. But...you know...go Bears...or something.
More Bears.

How does one survive a Bear attack, you ask? Well there are several suggestions - including:
1) Make a lot of noise
2) Talk to the bear to make sure he sees you.
3) Hold you arms high above your head to make you look like a much bigger animal
4) Continue to talk and slowly back away; (If you run he will chase you).
5) Climb a tree
6) Drop to a fetal position
7) Play dead.

The Rams did a lot of 1-6 and ended with #7, as the Bears managed to eek out a win.
YaY! Go Bears! (Imagine me saying this with a thick Chicago accent)

Is it an Eskimo? Basically.
More cuteness.
I hate this picture, but it really shows how awesome our seats were.

My former employer - still a really cool building.
And an exhibit that I will definitely have to be checking out soon.



And a picture of Mike on Christmas Eve as we pack to head out to the land of wingéd wheels.
Mucho handsomeness.

Mike's mom got Beatle's trivial pursuit for Christmas and we decided to give it a try. Not as much fun as it sounds. Too, too hard. I didn't get a single question right. The questions have different levels of difficulty and eventually we decided to only use the easy questions. Still only about six questions were answered correctly - none by me. Bah!

Christmas cookies!!! (Sorry - got distracted).
So we decided to break out the older millenium version of the game.
The blue piece won the game. Know who was blue? Me! Ha! In yo' face! I left my opponents cryin' for their mommies. Boo. Yah. I rule you! ...And that's all the pictures I've got. My Christmas was good - how was yours?!

Thanksgiving and Dicey Snaps

Charlie and Lyric. We had Lyric all day last Saturday while my dad was visiting and they enjoyed entertaining each other.


We headed for Michigan to spend Thanksgiving with Mike's family. Mike and Kelly at Thanksgiving dinner.


Yummy. Homemade mac-and-cheese.

Mike's salad.


Cranberries!


I was bound and determined to catch Mike putting food into his mouth. I don't know why, but I finallky got it! Yes!!!!

On Friday night, Mike and I met up with Kelly and their cousin, Dave and had dinner and drinks at Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak. After dinner, we listened to Christian Collins and Molasses.


Mike at Memphis Smoke...


Then in Saturday it was time for the annual Grandpa Al dicey championship, which Sandy took home! She's the first winner from the Kurczewski side of the family. The first of many, as I'm sure we'll dominate from here on out. :)


More pictures from Dicey night...
