It's Monday so it's a football blog...

Angela asked me last night whether or not we would continue to make time for deep talks now that football season is here. Of course! I crave those too. But only Tuesday - Friday. I'm kidding! Seriously, she's the one person who can launch me out of football mode anytime. She's much more important than these silly games. But it sure was fun overdosing on the plethora of games over the weekend.

Well, it wasn't all about football this weekend. We had dinner with my friend Lisa and her friend Chris who were in town from Virginia on Friday night. They're thinking of moving here and they wanted to know all about Oak Lawn and Cathedral of Hope so we told them about our experience. They're the coolest. And on Saturday after I got off work we visited our friend Kristie in the hospital who just had a baby girl. I wouldn't even have thought about football during the visit, except her husband Jason happened to be watching the Michigan/Notre Dame game and I couldn't help but get into a conversation about what an impact Charlie Weiss is having at Notre Dame seven months after winning a Super Bowl with the Patriots. Then Jason and Angela talked about golf. They're nuts for golf like I'm nuts for football. Kristie and her mom chatted about breastfeeding while all the sports talk was going on. The baby's name is Sylvie and she's adorable.

I had an awful weekend predicting NFL winners. I totally regret saying the Vikings would make the Super Bowl in my last blog. That's what I get for wearing a Bucs t-shirt and picking against them. Angela ordered a Peyton Manning women's jersey for me for my birthday (it's this Saturday) and she let me have it early so I could wear it yesterday. I love it! Shirts with numbers on them are just the coolest. This is going to be a great week.
