This past Saturday night, Donnie and I headed out to the Panthers / Redskins game with some very nice tickets that were given to us. Thanks Fred! We got to sit in the club level, so that was pretty cool. I never knew that sushi and gourmet chocolates were even allowed at football games. Anyway, besides the Redskins getting their hineys kicked, we had a really nice time. However, what's a night out without a little drama, right?> Rather than paying a lot of money for a Redskins shirt (that I really can't proudly wear since I know nothing about them, except that my husband is a fan) I decided to make my own! So, I designed this really cool graphic and got an on-sale shirt at Michaels and headed home to iron-on my night's attire. Well, the second I set the iron down I realized I hadn't mirrored the image (see above) so my shirt was backwards. It looked great in the mirror, though.
> Then after the first quarter, or so, we quickly realized the Redskins were going to get trampled. Well, we were definitely a minority sitting there in our little Redskins shirts and hats - but there were a few other Skins fans there. One, in particular got a little offended when a nearby Panthers fan decided to ridicule his team of choice. And, a fight broke out about 5 rows ahead of us. Pretty cool. They were all escorted out, so it didn't last that long. Oh well.
> So, after creeping out after the frisbee-catching dogs at halftime, we headed home. While sitting at the stoplight at Hwy. 29 & Morehead, we were lucky enough to witness an accident. Some "older" guy ran his red light and a "younger" girl smashed into him. I guess she didn't see him. I have no idea how, because I stopped in time to not hit him. See, I was in the left-left turn lane and she was in the left-right turn lane...and just kept going when Old Man Winter decided to not stop. So, at about 10:15pm we were stuck in the intersection waiting to give our eye-witness report to the police. Great fun.
Then we got home - to find Mimi and Papa resting easy as our sweet one slept upstairs. All-in-all, a fun night - with a little non-drama, drama. I love you, Donnie. It was nice to get out, just the 2 of us, for a change.
Go Redskins!

What a crazy evening! You made some memories though, right? At least you got a date night out of it! Hope you are staying dry today.
Hi Courtney and Donnie,
Glad you guys enjoyed your evening out....even though the Rerdskins forgot what a football looks like and got their hineys spanked 47 to 3.....OUCH!! Oh well, it was only a pre-season game and the upcoming regular seson schedule will really tell who's who in the pro football world. Hope you have a wonderful, blessed week. Love you BOTH, Fred
Hey Mr. Anonymous: Did u not do a spellcheck. Sorry Donnie,,,,don't think he did it on purpose,,,,or not! Anyway, my children always have fun no matter the situation. Glad you enjoyed yourselves....Luv ya, MOM
The backwards iron-on is too funny! So did you wear it?
Sounds like a super fun night! Glad you guys got out by yourselves for a while!
I love your iron-on ideas!!! What kind of printer do you use? I'm in the market for buying a new one and I have no clue what to get.
Anyway, your "non-dramtical" evening sounded like fun. Those nights when it's just the 2 of you are so priceless. Cherish them!!!
Love ya, girlie!
Well, right now I use whatever inkjet printer I can find. We don't have one at the house - but we're looking for a printer/scanner/copier inkjet. The iron-on transfer paper I get is just inkjet printer. It's like $4.99 for 3 sheets at Michaels. Love it! The possibilities are endless...only when you don't forget to mirror your image, though :)
