Well, it’s now February and Pittsburgh has recovered from the Steeler’s victory! YAY STILLERS!!! Even though the celebration after the game nearly burned down the Oakland part of the city, I’m thrilled we won. Three more “firsts” for the Burgh! Youngest coach to win a Superbowl, longest touchdown run in a Superbowl (Even though he acted like a jackass later, you can’t take that away from him), and the first to get SIX (count ‘em…SIX) Superbowl victories. NOT that I’m bragging …. Ok, I am. Like I did it. Like I took the team to victory. Bragging anyway!
Chrissie’s wedding is this Saturday…yeah, I know, Valentine’s Day. She definitely has more of the foof gene in her than I do!!! We are babysitting her kitten, Cupcake (see pic…she looks mean but she’s not *LOL*), Nobby’s sister, for the day. Then we get her back on Friday night. She is gorgeous, a brown tortoiseshell. Nobby is happy. He’s been running amok with his sister since last night. Today is my “rest” day. Took leave for today and tomorrow so I could calm my nerves and relax before the big wedding rush. They are having a regular Pittsburgh Fire Hall reception after the ceremony and it’s all home made. Love that about the burgh. Fire Hall receptions were where I tasted different foods from the “American” and German/Pennsylvania Dutch fare I was raised on. Lot of Slovak foods that I can’t pronounce but love to eat
We are having the wedding rehearsal Friday evening and then, after 10 PM, we have to prepare the fire hall for the reception. Bill’s family wanted to do it Saturday morning, but there is no way I can schlep (interesting….schlep is in the Word Spell Check! *LOL*) around Saturday morning, help Chrissie with hair and dress (sort of), get MYSELF dressed, attend the wedding and reception, and not have a stroke. So, late Friday it is!!! I will post some pics for you when it’s over and I’m relaxed!
Ciao for now.
