How about them STYLE POINTS?!

2006 SEC Championship Georgia Dome

The Georgia Dome's field, where Florida schooled the Arkansas Razorbacks. I'm glad Kirk Herbstreit would never pick Florida over Ohio State, his Alma Mater, because his lack of support virtually assures us a win! J/K...I fear hubris.

SEC CHAMPIONS

Good thing I didn't finalize my plans/flight to NYC for the SEC Championship Game! Turns out a dear friend had an extra ticket, so I headed down to Atlanta with him and his family to see the game IN PERSON. It was my first Game with a capital G. It was so incredibly worth it, I hope to go to Glendale for the BCS National Championship Game...Anyone got some extra cash they can spare to help me purchase a ticket?!

Da Poor Frignatz overtaken by Marvin K Mooney 3

Oooh, da beasts! These are Ignatz (aka Frignatz) and Marvin K. Mooney my mother's cats. Poor Frignatz was minding his own business recovering from Thanksgiving dinner when Marvin K. Mooney threw his "tons-of-fun" self up for some bonding time. Poor Frignatz.

Since Nashville...

Hey All...Wondering what I've been up to since Nashville? Too much and hardly any camera work! Seriously, I haven't been home a single weekend since the trip to Nashville.

Okay, that isn't entirely true. I was in Chapel Hill the following weekend and got to watch the South Carolina game with the Renegade Chapel Hill Gators at Bailey's. WHEW! That game was BEYOND too close. More on that later.

But! Two weeks later I was in Western Carolina for the Western Carolina game. Bummer that the game was AT Florida. I had a great weekend in Asheville with Rocky. We had tickets to Christmas at the Biltmore, an evening tour complete with musicians, carolers, and festive decorations.

We watched the first three quarters of the Florida/Western Carolina game, then we headed out to the main drag in Asheville for the Holiday Parade and a little wine tasting at the local wine shop. We then headed back to the hotel for the Michigan/Ohio State game before going to dinner and the Biltmore. It was perfect, really. I couldn't believe that the evening was just as wonderful as the day! (Although I could have done with a Michigan win over Ohio State.)

Unfortunately, we don't have many pictures from the trip. In fact, I'm not certain we have one! We weren't able to take pictures in the Biltmore and we didn't really think about it anywhere else. :'(

Then it was Thanksgiving with the fam in Kinston, NC. That was a really nice, relaxing weekend. I got some work done. Hung with the family. Watched A LOT of ESPN and various sports, though football largely.

Saturday alone was about 16 hours of sports! Starting with SportsCenter at 9, continuing through College GameDay, Florida v. Florida State, USC v ND, and then Florida v Kansas (Basketball). Whew. Mom says I was switched at birth! lol
