Highlight Reel

Sick and random.

L's been sick since Tuesday--he even stayed at home on Wednesday (a rarity!).
I can tell I am sick/getting sick.  I was going to try my first Green Monster this morning (milk, flax seeds, spinach, banana, frozen blueberries, frozen peaches), but all I wanted was some comfort food.  I ate some Cinnamon toast with butter and am having a diet soda.  The bubbles soothe my throat.  Or my brain.  One of the two.

The O-Line all contributed to get me a plane ticket so I could go to the LA game on Saturday--I am so lucky to have this team in my world right now.  Imagine giving money to fly someone to a game where she won't even play.  I am very lucky.  So I am making cookies to bring to thank them.  Gingersnap dough I made yesterday, so all I had to do was form/sugar them and bake them today.  I want to make snickerdoodles for them too, but all I can think about right now is a nap.

I don't want to miss WillPower and Grace and Yoga tonight.  I am going to try to force myself to go no matter how I feel. 

I have been reading about different cleanse ideas to try.  I even planned out next Monday-Friday to try a healthy cleanse.  My eating habits are horrific as of late, and I need to get back on track.  I do wonder if I can hold myself to a full 5-day cleanse.  But I chose all the different meals/snacks that sounded good, so I should be able to if I just put my mind to it right?  That is my biggest challenge. 

The rain is seriously getting to me.  The first three years I was here I handled the rain much better.  I am just so over it right now.  It is dreary, cold, gross, and I am sick of it.  I'll only be in LA for about 24 hours, and it will be a super change in temperature (we are going to SWEAT in our pads/helmets)--but I am SO looking forward to seeing the sun and feeling warmth.

Eyelids shutting....need nap.

And for your viewing pleasure...

A highlight reel I made (with music) of all the awesomness from Saturday!!  ENJOY!!

And game 1 is in the books!!!

Dear Seattle, sorry you didn't score at all.  Wait, no I'm not!!!!!  Great job Shockwave!!!

I'm #91. I did a good amount of this during the game.  But it was awesome!

Halftime fun. I didn't take my helmet off for the occasion.

Anxiety. Worth it. I got in for 3 extra point kicks (where I am actually first string) and 3 plays on defense.  Played for maybe 3 minutes total.  Loved every single second of it.  I had 6 friends and family come to the game, and 5 of my previous students--and 2 of them actually made shirts and headbands to be my cheering section.  It was awesome.
I love this game. I love my team. I love the rush of competition. Most of all, I love to WIN!! I am so looking forward to seeing what this season has in store for my team!!!
