Mind, Body, & Equipment.

When I was pregnant, I would cry at the slightest up lifting sports moment.  No Seriously. And for the most part I thought it was just a pregnancy thing.  However, I have to admit that when I first saw the latest commercial from Dick's Sporting Goods, it took everything in me to hold back the tears.  And perhaps there was even a moment while I was home alone where I just let the water works flow as I listened to the Oh-So-Inspiring Rudy soundtrack.  

But either way, this commercial makes me want to train again for another marathon race, pick up a little crossfit, or just find any other way I can to officially become a badass. Smart move, Dick's Sporting Goods...your Mind, Body, and Equipment commercial is genius.

Big Ben Fails at Tebowing

Ten Thoughts for the Weekend

1.  The Broncos beat the Steelers!!!!  What an amazing game!!  And with an 80-yard touch down pass from my Boy Tebow to DThomas!!! Unbelievable!!

2.  I might have shed a tear (or at least complained as much as possible) as I had to give up my ticket to today's game because I was sick.  Ladies and Gents...that means I was siiiiccckkk.  Not just a cough.  Because not to see my BFF Tebow in person and in action....heartbreaking!!  But at least I was warm in my Bronco Snuggie. 

3.  I finished my first week as a student teacher and absolutely love it.  Still working on learning 170 student names and lesson planning, but I already know that it is all worth and where I am suppose to be.

4.  I am quite excited for this season's Bachelor with Geico Man Ben the Bach.  He is growing on me...as is the drama that ABC always provides.  Looks like we have some villains who like to skinny dip and continued drama with the blogger!  Fantastic. 

5.  I also watched the latest Pretty Little Liars this weekend.  Seriously, it is not to late to watch this one with all the other 14 year-olds.  I am just pleased to know that one of my dearest neighbors is also a PLL fan and I am not the only 30 year-old that indulges in the flick. 


6.  I keep having dreams this weekend about anchors falling on my head.  What does this mean???

7.  Every day this week I drove less than 3 minutes to work and LOVED it.  I even didn't buckle my seat belt for one of the trips and felt like such a rebel!!  (I know...I know.  Most accidents happen close to your house.  I promise it was my only time!).  Just what am I going to do with 2 hours of commuting back in my life???  Yoga? Perhaps cook a week day dinner for the first time in over a year!?  The possibilities are endless. 

8.  I had much needed drinks with my Dearest E this weekend.  We just talked for hours about anything and everything.  We gave each other encouragement, asked questions, and basically reassured ourselves that we are effing fabulous.  Gator Guy doesn't understand that we can just sit on the couch, drink micro brews, and talk.  He and his Bromance Bro instead play darts.  For hours.  Now, that I do not get.

9.  Aside from being sick, I am giddy to go to work tomorrow.  Giddy.  It has been a long time since I have felt that! 

10.  Holy Crap the Broncos won!!!!

You know you are obsessed when...

You purchase a single ticket and go to a Bronco game solo.  Alone.  

espn.go.com

But even though we lost... me, myself and I still had a damn good time at the game!!!

And yes, I even waited with all the other 9 year old boys for all the players to leave in hopes that Timmy would like to wear a BFF necklace...

Dear 4th Quarter Broncos,

You are well worth the wait.  In fact, I sounded like a man this morning due to screaming my head off during our time together last night.  And also during that final minute of regular play, I  turned to Gator Guy and said, "I'm not quite sure when it happened, but I'm pretty sure I slightly peed my pants."  

Now that's a Bronco fan. 
 
xoxo, 
Kat

It's Timmy Time

The day has come.  (well....not quite the day that Timmy becomes my BFF...that shall come soon.  I mean...we live in the same city.  No really...like within 10-15 miles of each other...don't judge me for knowing that.  So perhaps he is just not going to the same liquor stores as I am.)  

But today is THE  Judgement Day that Timmy will start as QB and the Mile High City is pumped.  In fact, I'm pretty sure the fans would attack the field with pitchforks if this wasn't the case today.  Totally time for Orton-Hears-a-Boo to take a seat with a 1-4 record.  And looks like Pretty-Quinny is even inactive so we no longer have our Three Musketeers to debate over.

Even the Denver Post has a two page spread all About Timmy.  Five Things to Watch today:  Timmy, Timmy, and three more Timmys.  And even the Dolphins are honoring the 2008 Gators (as in the BCS champs when Tebow was the Q to the B) at today's game in Miami which means....a crap load of blue and orange #15's at this game.   

The Post again says that Tebow is a human ATM machine where everyone makes money off of him.  Interesting.  Just how can I get in the action??  Calm down the dirty jokes here...I'm really just wanting that BFF card.  I mean, we have a damn good time here in the burbs and I think there is a place just for Timmy. Friday 4 of us adults managed to consume a very large amount of beers, watched our hubbies play nurf basketball for two hours, and had a party in the kitchen.  Saturday we detoxed at yoga just before we retoxed with mimosa's while walking to the neighborhood pumpkin festival, and even got in a two hour nap after a trip to Lowes.  I am pretty sure Tebow would love to join in our lifestyle.  

Either way, I am p-u-m-p-e-d!!!  And to respond to my boy Stever who said, "Try not to lose your shit this Sunday"...Oh yes Stever...I will definitely be beyond excited, and will try with all my might to not lose my shit.

Oh good...My check must have cleared

For this massive Tebow Billboard that has popped up in Denver.  

And it may be the crazy Teboner fans that love this board and everything Timmy, but you know what it really means?  We are getting closer to Tebow Time!!!  I am guessing that "Orton-Hears-A-Boo" plays the entire game against the Packers this weekend.  He will fail to execute in the red zone, move in the pocket, and slide when it is unnecessary.  Pretty-Boy-Brady will continue to do the full splits for warm up and perhaps step on field for a play or two.  But then....I say it is Tebow Time.  And hopefully he will have some magical moments on October 9th when I will be present at Invesco Sport Authority at Mile High so that we can give each other air hugs, good luck winks, and even a slap on the butt.  Because that's what football players do right???  Perhaps only in my dreams.  

Oh Heeeyyyy Kat!  Wish me luck today!  wink wink.  This one is for you  ;)

Pumpkin Spice & Gridiron

Today is like Christmas.  Like the first day of school.  I have pure excitement for two things that make a season debut in my life on this day.


1.  The NFL Baby - First game tonight Saints vs Packers. Brees vs Rogers.  Soul vs. Title Town.  Going to be a fantastic game. And I can't wait to see how my fantasy teams will do on this first week. 

Tip for the night -->  Keep an eye on Mark Ingram as the Saints' spotlight rookie this year.  He was the 28th pick of the draft and is an absolute workhorse.

Fact for the night -->  The season kickoff game has been on the Thursday after Labor Day since 2002, and since 2004 the defending Super Bowl Champs (Packers this year) host the opening game.  Looks like a tradition worth keeping!


2.  Pumpkin Spice Latte - I just enjoyed my first pumpkin spice latte of the season.  This is my favorite sugar-infested-but-I-just-can't-resist coffee drink, and there are times I wish it was available all year long! 

So please help me Bring em Out T.I.  Bring out those QBs, Linebackers, and foamy lattes.  Because this is the best time of the year!!

Sweet, Sweet Fantasy Baby



Sing it Mariah!!!  Tonight was my first Fantasy Draft of the season.  It was quite the rush I must say as my heart was racing the entire time...I know, I get total dork points for saying that one and Gator Guy totally made fun of me all night.  But I actually did my homework this year and wanted to make sure my team is ready to kick some ass.  

Overall, I think I did pretty good.  I totally took a risk with Fosters with his complete injury package and made a complete impulse pick with Marcedes Lewis (good guy, but on my homework spreadsheet I had him on my DO NOT DRAFT list).  But I am pretty pumped with Sidney Rice, Greg Jennings, and Felix Jones (who is going to be sick this year!!)
I am also most pleased with my hidden boys Little and Helu.  They are not up there in the ranks (yet), and so I am excited to see them take off this year and make me proud. 

Oh and I just couldn't resist a little Gator Love.  Hernandez...Welcome to Kat's kick ass team!!!

Ball Smackers and Navy Stripes


Totally out of my go-to-bed-at-9pm-on-weekdays character...but I finally made it to a Rockies game last night with my Dearest Manda, and even indulged in a few microbrews (shocker). Only downfall was a missed all the drama with the Bachelor Pad.  I hear there were lots of tears...but don't worry, I totally DVR'd it!

But the game was great.  Company was fantastic and I even learned a couple of things.  One - all pin stripes on baseball uniforms are navy...no matter what the team colors are. Crazy!  Two - the term southpaw originated from left handed pitchers because home base was always west and therefore the leftys faced south.  Interesting....who would have thought!! 

Ask me about football and I will talk your ear off.  But baseball is a foreign world to me.  I even started a Baseball Fantasy League this year with Gator Guy with hopes that I would learn more.  From the league I conclude with the following:

1.  I still do not know any thing more about baseball than I did before.  This is supported by the fact that I have not changed anything on my team since day one and have now gone from 10th to 3rd place.  Wish Fantasy Football was that easy.  

2.  I created a team of pervs.  Seriously. I named the league Ball Smackers (long story, but the short version is some drunk guy kept yelling out Ball Smackers on the train.  I thought I was so funny that I wrote it down on my sudoku and decided to name any kickball or baseball team after it.)  Gator Guy and I determined that we should leave the league public just to see if we got anyone else.  Well, I built it...and they came. Example team names are:  Family Jewels, Blue Balls, and Big Long Balls.  Seriously....I created a league for all the pervs.  Well done Kat.  Well done.

My Beloved Timmy, Orton, and Pretty Quinny

Red rover, red rover, send a second round pick on over.  That's right....trade week is coming to a close.  Ladies, this is like the Bachelotte, but even better because teams can kick a player to the curb and still ask for a new one.  No need to settle for your one and only true soul mate.  Unless of course your team spent a first round pick last year on a QB that is suppose to become a franchise leader to some and a complete failure to others.  And in that case, we need to bring in Chris Harrison himself to announce the final rose as it is distributed to Mr. Tim Tebow.  

I could just see the ceremony now. 

"Tebow, will you accept this rose?"

"Yes, I will accept.  And I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season.  Wait...perhaps I've said this one before.  Either way, I will take the rose."

But wait, there's more.  Just as the Bach let's the rules bend and gives us the most dramatic season ever, Orton is still here and ready to claim his spot.   No trade to Miami.  No beautiful beaches, no beautiful women, and no tearful reunions with Brandon Marshall.   I always imagined that they would run in slow motion, embrace, and a few tears would role down their cheeks. 

And so how does Orton accept his rose??  With a little, "In Yo Face, Timmy!" Not really, but it's what I like to imagine.  Everyone loves a little drama.

And what about Brady Quinn you might ask?  Well, he's just pretty.  So how about we keep him for marketing purposes.  Feel free to flex for me at any time Pretty Quinny.  

So....will the 3QBs be the next Three Amigos and sing my little buttercup and save the town of Santo Poco? We shall have to wait and see.

xoxo,
Kat

Dear NFL,

As I begin my day today, I have a new sense of comfort and relief about us.  As you know, you and I have a special relationship.  You are there for me at home, in person, on the radio, and more importantly in my heart.  And even though we always spend a little time apart over the summer, I felt completely lost with the thought of you not coming back to me this fall.  I felt incomplete.  I felt empty.  

Already last night and this morning, you are more present than ever.   You give me updates about our future and there seems to just be a buzz about you.  You listened to what I needed and I can definitely see that you are making an effort which means the world to me.  NFL, we have been through so much together.  From the early days when I couldn't put down the Bronco Brick, the memories of our Deja Vu Championship, the freezing cold games in the snow, the tears when I was pregnant when you scored, and games when I lost my voice from pure excitement.  We have been through it all.  

So, I am sorry that I doubted you coming back to me this fall.  But it just shows me more and more that I cannot live with out you.  NFL....you complete me.  You make me whole.  And I cannot wait for a beautiful season to come.  

xoxo, 
Kat

The ESPYs - And Damn did I look good in that Red Dress!

Last night was the ESPYs.  (FYI, the ESPYs are like the Oscars, but for sports.)  And it looks like everyone got their invitation to the shin dig.  I mean seriously....How good did I look in the red dress next to my Timmy.  We make quite the couple...don't ya think??    ;)

 And check out all the others that made it to the red carpet looking all fabulous!  Quite the event!


 


 
Great show...but more than anything, we MUST talk about Serena.  Seriously what was she wearing?  And is that seriously her Boo-tay??  Talk about Baby Got Back.
