Raiders 30
Bucs 20

RAIDERS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first NFL game EVER, and it was soooo much fun (of course, we lucked into the VIP treatment and got to dine in the "West Clubhouse" how very, very posh :)).

We saw Al Davis step out of his limo and greet the crowd, saying, "I told them to 'just win.'"

We saw Adam Sandler and his wife sitting in the box seats behind us - he stayed for most of the game, and, yes, he rooted for the Raiders!

All in all, it was a great time.

I turn on the news, and I have to ask my mom if it's real.

I see a face I recognize - one of my mom's friends pleading with her son to turn himself in to the police.

I don't recognize the mug shot of the man who grew from a little boy I used to play with (well, mostly his sister and I harrassed him into leaving us to our own devices, on those occassions when all the women from my mom's office got together and left the kids to themselves).

What happened? I can't really process it. I'll pray for the parents. I'll pray for the son. I'll pray for the victims.

So, what a whirlwind these past few days!

House Blessing was a success..managed to keep Sean away from Fr. David long enough to have a good little talk with him about his upcoming activities (saving the world one person without a lawyer at a time!) and got to hold the candle as Fr. blessed every room and everyone in the house (including the garage and the "farm" as he called our beloved pets).

I had a fabbboooolus time at Haylz's Wine & Cheese Bash (yes, even without drinking!). Even the people who drank refrained from getting sloppy drunk - it was all very socially responsible and enjoyable! Hayley is a great hostess, and she made sure that everyone had food and a beverage...Plus, I got to catch up with Erin and Erica (and Richard) - second time in just about a month - that's pretty darn good!

Then, on Monday, I found out that I can go ahead and put my eggs all together in that one basket...'cause babee, I'm gonna be a librarian! Well, after I finish what I start :)

And that's all the news from my world!
