2 Games, 2 Birthdays, a holiday, family all in One week

Holiday & Family

It was nice to be home for Thanksgiving. I got to spend time with both of my nieces, my sister and my mother. It was fairly uneventful. I went to the park & played a little ball with my niece. I  helped cook dinner (Mac & Cheese, Mashed potatoes). Mom made the Turkey & mixed Veggie. As you can see below my niece made the deserts and set the table.  My godson was in town and I got to spend some time with him. Nothing like family time.





Two birthday celebrations and a basketball game

I got to celebrate the birthdays of two people very close to me. We started off with a little singing for Sam. We followed that up with the basket ball game.  My step bad, Sam, B and I all went. An ATL win over the Clips surprised us all. After that me and the two birthday people went out to Harlem Knight Lounge. Had a few drinks (I  was the DD). We didn't make it to part three of the double celebration but went for part four (food) before calling it an early morning at 4a. 




Flacons Game & More

After having to come back to Albany for a few days I headed back to ATL for some more fun. A big game in the GA Dome against our only loss at that point and rival NO. I picked up my game mate up from the airport and checked into the hotel. She of course is a Saints fan. Anyway, we took the Marta to the game. The Dome rocked. We had awesome seats and came out with a big win. I was pumped. I can't say the same for Jodie. But the fun didn't stop at that after a late dinner B picked us up. We went out to a bar. We had some fun. I still don't know why Jodie didn't accept that dance offer when she knew she wanted to. Lost opportunity. We followed that up the next day with a late start to the day. We went to the World of Coke & got to see the setup for the SEC game for College Game Day. After dinner we headed to play some bowling. Took a little while after Apple Maps sent us on a goose chase for an alley and a little curb action. She did beat me both games but the bowling alley's balls sucked ( I still would have lost). We decided to end the trip with a little session at the shooting range compliments of B. Jodie is a mean clip holder shooter. B got one shot the zombie eye on his first shot. We are now officially mean zombie killing machines. Of course Jodie ended up getting checked at the airport and tested positive for gun residue. I guess it isn't the best idea to go to shot off a few rounds before going to the airport but all worked out and the weekend was a success.

Abby Wambach comes to Rochester

I got to see Abby and several other World Cup soccer players in a recent game in Rochester that set a new Women's Soccer attendance record. It was pretty cool even though hometown legend Abby didn't play.   I went with a bunch of other people and we got a group discount and only paid $10 a ticket.

Marta (The Brazilian) is amazing. The crowd cheered extra loud for each player that had played in the world cup, not just the American players (although louder for them). Abby was given the key to the city and spoke at half time. The Rochester Flash won the game over MagicJack. Well here are some pictures.
