Gift Idea

Every Sunday since football season began I have been gathering with friends to watch our Ravens.  Over the course of the season we have taken so many pictures of all the good times we have.  Which gave me a great idea!

I thought about a few years ago when I made dvds for family members.  I gathered pictures from all the past Christmas Eve dinners and burned them on dvd to music.  Then at the end of the dvd was the invitation to that years' Christmas Eve dinner.  They were well received.  So that's what I plan to do for my friends...put together a collection of pictures from all the football Sundays so far and burn them on a dvd to music.  And I have the perfect song to use.  It's the Ravens fans' chant song - Oooh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, oh!

First I had to find out the name of the song and who sung it (Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes). I honestly did not know it was a real song. I just thought it was some chant the fans started. It wasn't until we won the superbowl earlier this year and I heard the actual song playing in the background when the City of Baltimore held a huge parade for the team.

Anyway, I know my friends will get a kick out of that.  They can play it over and over and over again when they want to.

Super Bowl Sunday

It's Superbowl Sunday!  My boyfriend and I had plans to go to friend's house to watch the game but we got hit with a lot of snow this weekend. It's the worst snow we've ever had.  This snowfall broke the record from 2003 which was recorded at 28 inches of snow.  This snowfall reach nearly 3 feet.

So we are staying home.  I put together some snacks so he will be happy while watching the game.  As for me I will make dinner: Shrimp parmigiana, spaghetti with sauce, caesar salad, and garlic bread.  And for dessert, red velvet cake.  This dinner was originally for Valentine's Day but I decided to celebrate a little early.  Now I have to come up with a new menu for next week. 

All the snow has me motivated to do something Christmasy.  After I finish cooking, dinner I will work more on the holiday cd's. They will be given out as party gifts Christmas Eve.  The list is growin - I keep adding songs.  I have enough music collected to make a double cd. 

Last week my mom surprised me with The Simpson's Christmas on DVD.  Another new movie to had to my holiday collection.  I may put that on while working on my playlist.
