and I loved our trip to NYC. New York is magical at Christmas, end of story.
We're slowly adjusting to TheHubs crazy work schedule and will see how I adjust to him being gone all night and sleeping all day. And then being gone all day and immediately heading to bed when he gets home. I need to make a big effort to set up some re-occurring friend times to ward off the boredom.
On Saturday, we were luckily enough to go to the Broncos playoff game, thanks to our friend Robyn who has season tickets. Despite the outcome and the absolutely frigid temps (Game Time high of 10, yes 10), we had a blast! We dressed appropriately - ski pants, 4 layers of tops, 2 hats, and 2 gloves ("Yeah, it's the Rockies!" - Dumb & Dumber) Still, our beer froze in the cups and I couldn't feel my toes. It would have been a lot better if the Broncos pulled out a win in the 2nd Overtime, but such is life. I'm looking onward and upward to next season.
Yesterday we saw the movie Jack Reacher, "based" on the book One Shot. I use that word loosely.
Straight off the bat - full disclosure - The Reacher book series written by Lee Child is TheHubs most favorite series on the planet. As in, we've met Lee Child twice. Every book is on pre-order and read by TheHubs within 24 hours of release; re-read at least 2-3 more times. If there ever was a Jack Reacher expert, it's TheHubs. There's a 99% chance if we ever had a son, his name would be Jack.
Pulling off larger than life, 6 foot 5; 250 lb. Reacher on the big screen is a stretch. The verdict? TheHubs says you forget it's Tom Cruise and bought it. Me? Absolutely horrible casting. I never got over that it was Tom Cruise. The movie was meh. As a stand alone, its entertaining, but the books are once again in a league of their own. I hope its a one and done, but TheHubs thinks differently so take that as you will.
I'm reading "The American Heiress" by Daisy Goodwin. It's fantastic! If you like Downton Abbey (doesn't everyone?), you'll love this. It's set a bit earlier than DA in the 1890s and follows an American Heiress as she marries an English Duke and all that comes along with that. I'm almost done but haven't been able to put it down. Highly recommend!
We're still in frigid temps (our delivery milk from the farm was frozen this AM) and Barkley is going insane with no walks. I'm looking forward to the weekend and the warm up ahead!
Hope you have a great week!

You know, I always wonder who those crazy people are that go to below freezing games. Now I can say I know one of them! Truth be told, though, I would have went, too. Love me some football. And it really was a great game.
Your frigid temps are making their way to me this week. So there's that. Hmph!
But do you have a coat for your pup? My Sadie is 10 and I mocked people who put clothing on thier dogs until now. For whatever reason, probably because I am sort of admitting that she is not a baby (not old mind you....just not a tot), I picked up a $10 dog coat from Target a month ago. Best $10 ever spent on my dog! It's water resistent on top and fleece on bottom (and reversible but why would you want to wear the reverse?). She loves it- or does't seem to mind it. I think it really helps on cold cold nights. Of course I live in a city so I have to walk her three times a day. But if you see one in Target, you might want to see if he likes it. I never would have thought I would ever be a person putting a coat on her dog but even I admit she looks pretty stinkin cute in that pink plaid coat.

Katie - I am so happy that you are happy in Denver and in your new home. I can't wait to see it. Take care and keep the blogging coming. Love ya, Patti
Way to tough out those freezing temps to see the Broncos play. So sad they lost... so sad. There was plenty of yelling at the refs from our couch. We're still shocked that Prater kicked the ground during his field goal attempt. Doh!
So you love American Heiress? I've heard good things and I LOVE Downton Abbey. I need to check this out! And can I just say... I wish I had milk delivery. Send your freezing temps over here to Annapolis. I am dying for some snow and colder weather!

I remember watching that game on tv and wondering how the poor fans braved the cold weather! Looks like a wonderful time though!
