Go Big Blue!

I am SOOO very excited to be linking up with Lindsey from Running Down a Dream today!  I mean what better way to get out of a blogging rut/funk thank to talk about none other than the New York Giants!!!

I have been a football, and most specifically a Giants fan for as long as I can remember.  I grew up with names like Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor and spent many Sunday afternoons relaxing in front of the TV watching Big Blue.

As I got older, my love of the team just grew, as did my love of the sport as a whole.  I soon devoted entire weekends to watching the sport and the stats of Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan were a constant conversation.  I started going to games on a regular basis.  Every year I went to the Draft Day party down at the stadium, and waited for hours at a few book signings just to meet some of the players.  Skip and I joined a fantasy football league, which I am now the treasurer of!  I was once even in an article in the New York Post about being the biggest Giants fan ever {no joke} 

So starting THIS THURSDAY until the first weekend in February you can find me spouting statistics, checking scores, and planting myself in front of the TV to watch as much Giants football as possible!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
