USNchic's Armed Forces Fashions: September 2009

Well, I had a pretty mellow birthday. Can't do too much celebrating when you're 9 months pregnant! I spent Saturday painting doors and baseboards upstairs. Not fun, but I felt motivated and just wanted to get it done. There's a nice big vent up there, so don't express concern about why I'm painting while I'm pregnant. Saturday evening we went out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. My dinner was delicious, the cheesecake, not so much. I ordered a turtle cheesecake because I've been craving my dad's turtle cheesecake, however, it was quite inferior to his. Rick's carrot cheesecake was good though!

Yesterday was Sunday, and therefore, quite obviously spent watching football. Unfortunately, Rick's Bucs lost to the Cowgirls. They had a nice start, but somewhere along the way they just lost it. Better luck next week in Buffalo!

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to talking about last night's Green Bay Packer victory over the Bears. I enjoyed this quote from the Chicago Tribune, "Cutler was supposed to be the Packers' worst nightmare; instead, he was their best friend. He did everything but wave a green and gold towel, leap into the stands and join the 70,000-plus in a rousing chorus of "Bang the Drum All Day."' LOL! Seriously, there was so much hype about Cutler, and boy was he awful. He ended the day with four interceptions and a 43.2 passer rating, completing 47 percent of his throws, compared with a 92.0 passer rating and a completion percentage of 61 for Rodgers. So, the Bears and their fans discovered last night that their new leader on the offensive side of things probably isn't going to be the savior they had hoped for. To pour even MORE salt on the wound, their superstar linebacker, Brian Urlacher, who injured his wrist last night, had surgery on said wrist this morning and is out for the remainder of the season! OUCH!

As for the Packers side of the ball, although it was a gut wrenching nail-biter until the very end, we looked good. The new 3-4 defense seems to be a good fit. The D kept Cutler to under 50 percent on his pass attempts and held Matt Forte to 55 yards on 25 carries. Rodgers was interception free and finished the game in a way he was unable to last season. We lost so many games in the final minutes of play last season because our offense simply couldn't perform under the pressure, but last night, against our biggest rival, they pulled it off beautifully.

I had so much adrenaline from the game that I stayed up past 2:00am! To pass the time I made some new Green Bay Packer Football shirt & gift designs for my Cafepress shop. :)
