Halloween in the City

October 30, 2010 in Holidays, Willie by KarenNYC | 2 comments

Well, if Anna thinks she’s being a loser for Halloween, then I’m the ultimate loser. I have no plans and no costume; I’m not even going out. I mean I have a valid excuse. I have a game tomorrow and an early call time, but boy do I miss dressing up and having fun on Halloween :( Instead, this year we dressed Willie up and paraded him around Central Park this morning. He went as a football, appropriately, but his costume was just a wee bit too snug. He didn’t mind though and he looked pretty darn cute :)

Dialogue from the Holmes Household

September 12, 2010 in Funny by KarenNYC | 2 comments

Act 1, Scene 1

Setting: In the living room. Jeffrey is sitting on the couch in the same spot from which he has not moved all day. Willie is cuddling next to him. Karen just finished cleaning the bedroom and enters the living room.

Curtain rises.

Karen: “Hey, flip the channel over to NBC, the Cowboys/Redskins game is on and I wanted to watch it.”

Jeff: “Oh, OK.”

Fumbles for the remote. Pulls up the DVR guide.

Jeff: “Oh, but wait, the VMA’s are on!”

Karen: Blank stare. Goes back into the bedroom.

Willie: Follows Mommy.

End scene.

Yes, we’re one special couple.

Look Mom, I’m on TV!

OK, not me, but Karen was last night! She’s technically not allowed to write about her Jets Cheerleading experience (rulez shmulz) so I’m doing a post dedicated to her new-found fame. Here she is cheering it up (or focusing intently) in last night’s Giants/Jets game.

She’s thinking, “I could crush a walnut with my biceps.”

UPDATE! And she got a marriage proposal last night.

Dirty Sports Terms

September 19, 2009 in Sports by AnnamalSF | 1 comment

teel_loves_the_heiny

Football season is back in full effect which means Randy is leaving the couch less and less on the weekends. His buddy Mark came over today to watch some games and yell at the TV with him. Jack gets freaked out by the noise and goes to hide in the closet. Poor guy.

Anyway, the more terms I heard them throw out, the more I realized how dirty they sounded. Yeah yeah, I know my mind is usually in the gutter, but seriously, check out some of these terms that we came up with:

Stuffing the box
Giving a guy a blow
Spread
Penetrate
Shoot
Tight end
Wide receiver
Gave it up
Balls
Kneeling on the ball
Cornhole (a popular tailgating game in the south)
Ball in the hole
Grass on the field
Straddling the rubber
Stroke
Man to man
Getting sacked
The rim
Fumble
Eligible receiver
Going deep
Pinch-hitter
Long ball
Strike out
Switch-hitter
Score
First base
Second base
Third base
Unnecessary roughness
Double team
Knuckleball
Sweet spot
Go in through the backdoor
Bump and run
Blown coverage
Dribble
Incidental contact
Touch em all
Bush league
Palming
Stiff arm
Riding the pine  (this one cracks me up – it means sitting on the bench)

Okay now you can get your mind out of the gutter :)

Gone to Carolina!

E-L-O-N Lets got Elon!

E-L-O-N Lets got Elon!

After work today I’m off to North Carolina to get a little southern hospitality back in my life! I’m super stoked. I’m so looking forward to seeing family and friends. This time tomorrow, I’ll hopefully be sitting on the front porch of Sigma Nu, catching up with friends and getting ready for the UNC/ECU game. Then I’ll head off to Winston Salem for the Elon/Wake Forest game! I’m so excited for this game. Elon is my Alma Mater and  Wake Forest just happens to be my sister’s, so all I have to say is: It’s on like Donky Kong.

Can’t wait to get my college football fix! Lets hope it doesn’t rain :)

A: Oh SNAP.

O-H-I-O….bam!

September 15, 2009 in Funny, Sports, Television by KarenNYC | No comments

Haha. So unless you live under a rock, you should know that one of the most timeless traditions in college football takes place at The Ohio State University. The marching band spells out OHIO in script on the field and the precision and flare are quite impressive. Now, it is a great honor to be the chosen band member who gets to “dot the I” in Ohio. Rightfully, the chosen person should be excited, but check out what happens when Tony Tuba Player shows a bit too much gusto when he goes to dot that I. Enjoy! (Fast forward to 2:45 if you’re impatient, and check out 3:15 for a slow motion replay).

You dot that I, Tony!

A: I saw that! Randy kept telling me to watch the snake on the screen. I was like huh?? Ohh you mean the band?

K: Cornholio!

September 5, 2009 in Art & Design, Family, Hobbies, Sports, Weddings by KarenNYC | 1 comment

Just kidding :) No Beavis and Butthead here, but I am talking about one of the best tailgating traditions born in the south: Cornhole! I love playing cornhole. I love it so much that I decided to make two personalized cornhole games for my guests to play with at the wedding reception. My dad built all of the boards for me and I did all of the painting. I thought they turned out fabulously and they were such a big hit with the wedding guests. I even let two of my bridesmaids take a set home with them. I of course kept one, which is now at home with the parents who have become quite the cornhole enthusiasts, (don’t ever challenge my dad to a game of cornhole, he’ll demolish you and get a lot of joy out of it). Sigh, there’s nothing like kicking back and playing a game of cornhole where all you need is a drink in your hand and the motor skills and hand eye coordination of a kindergartner.

The boards!

The boards!

Guests enjoying themselves :)

If any of you are interested in some personalized cornhole games, contact me and I’m sure my dad and I would love to hook you up! Happy first day of college football!

A: Yes!! Those are my favorite sports, the ones where I can have a drink in the other hand. It’s the perfect game for party guests. No one ever has to put down their champagne. We could make cute corn baggies to match the boards too.

K: Are you ready for some football???

September 3, 2009 in Hobbies, Misc, Sports by KarenNYC | 1 comment

football
Weeeeeeeeeeee! College football season is officially in swing! I’m such a happy girl :) There was absolutely nothing better about living in the south than getting up on a Saturday morning and getting ready for the big game at school, or the games on TV all day. That’s one thing that I miss terribly about the south. I love college football, maybe that explains why most of my friends were always boys? College football is no big deal up here, tear. But Jeff and I plan to head on over to Brother Jimmy’s to catch the ACC games. Brother Jimmy’s is awesome! It’s a bar basically dedicated to North Carolina sports teams. Duke and Carolina Alums primarily frequent there, but you’ll see the occasional Wake or State fan too. I’m pretty sure I’ll be the only Elon fan there, but that’s no surprise. So stoked for the long weekend and some great football!! Anyone have any exciting plans this weekend, or are there any games you’re particularly looking forward to?

A: I think Randy already told you we’re thinking of going to the Cal/Maryland game. We’ll be watching the Wake game on TV tomorrow. I wish I could get as psyched as you are about football season, but I think I’ve become prisoner to the west coast and its college sports apathy. I sometimes miss it though. But not enough to move back :)
