i’ve been taking a lot of heat on facebook this week for my anti-patriots and pro-bronco jabs. tim vs. tom (or timmy vs. tommy, thanks LHo) our household is a minority here in connecticut. although most of our giants-loving friends might take our side on this one? truly, i love seeing how riled up people get over their team – bring on the e-competition, folks.
growing up in new england among a mostly football-indifferent [immediate] family is probably not the norm. but such is the potentially hard to swallow truth. i apologize.
so when i met my husband at age 15 i became entrenched in his john elway-loving ways. i can remember the orange jersey hanging from the sloped ceiling of his bedroom to this day. in fact, i recently came across that same jersey among a pile of my sweaters (sorry, no it is not hanging from our bedroom wall these days).
good ‘ol john.
oh god, that just made me think of this. sorry. a.d.d. back to what i was saying…
not that i ever followed the broncos, really. or truly liked them even. it’s just that justin was a part of me and the broncos were a part of him. osmosis mostly.
and when we moved out to boulder, co in 2003 and were for the first time ever in the presence of other orange jersey wearers, hats clad with horse heads and cars branded with the name elway dealers it felt, welp, serendipitous.
so now that we’re back in the land of the cold and bitter patriots and raising little anti-brady offspring we catch some slack now and then. to be expected.
in honor of a great game approaching this weekend my friend k and i made some swag for our littles. a little craft-ay time for mommas while children tear the house apart play together = perfection.
here are some photos of the fruits of our labor…
on saturday we’ll be celebrating a great game (no matter the winner. sorry, my competitiveness ends at the keyboard…) with some great friends, some great food and spirits. wait. shit. well justin and i will be watching our friends consume great eats and drinks, we are de-toxing. or something. more on that to come later.
from the words of my brady-loving friend L (who needs to call me back)…
Tommy vs. Timmy next weekend. If there were ever a time…a BETTER time for a wardrobe malfunction….a girl can dream….
