First of all, a woo-hoo!

Guess who is in first place in her fantasy football league???

Yes, I must give a big woo-hoo! to the Mandos Ravens, who are currently sitting in a comfortable first place (as in 93 versus 75 points, which belongs to the second place team). Ha! I wonder how all my football-knowing guys (and my football-knowing sister) feel to be getting thoroughly whooped by me. Ha!

(I am really enjoying this now because it will probably be gone in a few weeks and I'll be back in my accustomed last place :-/)

But for now I am in first place!!! Woohoo! And all thanks to Terrell Owens and Chad Johnson, whom I cannot stand in real life but have learned to like for their extraordinary ability to catch the ball and score touchdowns.

As for my Baltimore Ravens, [livejournal.com profile] isil_elensar, you are more than welcome to heckle me because your Titans thoroughly whooped my Ravens' collective asses today. :( Yes, I am normally a Titans' fan, but that loyalty is suspended, of course, when they play my Ravens. I am biting my thumb very hard in the Ravens' direction right now.

Okay, enough on football. This was my birthday weekend, and my wonderful husband gave me the most awesome gift: a five-hour moonlight trail ride on horseback, in the Blue Ridge mountains, along the C&O Canal, in Western Maryland.

Horseback Riding! )
Yesterday, my father-in-law came over to watch some of the football games for the first NFL Sunday. He was sitting on one couch, and my husband was sitting on the other. They were discussing the night game, where our Baltimore Ravens would face off against the Indianapolis Colts. Defensive genius against offensive genius...it promised to be a good game. It promised to be a hard game for us, and no one was picking us to win.

My husband asked my f-i-l if he thought we had a chance. "Boller," said my father-in-law. They both got that look that we all know in Baltimore: nearly an eye-roll; it means we are discussing our quarterback. "Our defense looks great, though," said Bobby.

"Okay, guys," I said. "You all really need to make a recording of this conversation. You have the same conversation every year, and it's becoming a senseless waste of energy."

Quarterback curses, missed field goals, and how stupid penalties can change the game...welcome to Baltimore, hon! )
