Well, another football game for the UNM Lobos today. This time they're up in Colorado Springs playing against the AFA. Wouldn't you know. the Lobos lost!!! But it wasn't one of those 70 to 0 loss. They lost 26-23, not too bad.
Not much else to say. Just been a so-so week. Not too exciting, nothing to talk about!!
GOOD NIGHT!!

Another win??
WOW!!! Them UNM Lobos can play football. They beat Texas State (I think that's the team) today, 35-14. That's just awesome. People will start showing up to the games (home games).
I went the the Ladies Night at Deseret Book tonight. I had a good time. They had some yummy treats, as always. I enjoyed that as well!!! Anyway, they give out prizes all night long (well, just 2 hours). I usually win something each time I go. And I was trying to remember what I won last time (April 2012) and remembered what it was when the lady said what the next prize was. It was a CD called Women of Light. I thought, hey, I won What Would A Holy Woman Do back in April. Then the lady called out my name!!!! Yeppers, I won the CD Women of Light. That's really cool. Then she held out a book, or should I say a recipe book and said something about baking. I thought, That would be an awesome prize for my mom. Besides it's her birthday tomorrow!!! Guess what? She won it!!! Awesomeness has been abundant tonight. Not only did we get some really good yummy treats, we went home with a couple of prizes. It was a good night to spend at the bookstore, too. I saw things I know that would make great Christmas presents and saw some DVDs that I would love to own. Then met up with people I don't see often. It was a really good night. And then as we were leaving the bookstore the fireworks started up at the Balloon Park!! The Balloon Glow went on as planned and then the fireworks ended the night. It was a great sight to see. We watched it and then headed on home.
Hopefully tomorrow the balloons will be able to fly. If not it looks like Monday will be a good day for them to fly. Again, I say, start the Fiesta a week early than this time. It's been like ten years that we've had bad weather interrupt several days of the fiesta. I remember working at Cardinal and the days we had breakfast watching the Special Shapes fly. Not many times were they able to fly, maybe just one day of the 2 days they held it.
Good night!
This didn't get published when I thought it was. Sorry, it was probably late at night and I was falling asleep!!! Ha ha. So here it is. This was on October 6th.

The Family
What The...........................
Anyone know what it is?
The other day I went shopping at the Dollar Tree. I like going there looking at the things you can buy for a dollar. There are a few things that I buy there to use around the house or for me. This time I was just there looking at things. My mom and sister were with me and they finished their shopping and were ready to head out. Here I am going towards the check-out area and I saw this thing hanging on the post. I had to turn around and look again!! What?? Is that for real??? THERE IS MY BUG!!! And guess what? It's not a bug. It's not a toy!! It's a Sunglasses clip/holder. You know clip it on your visor in your car to hold the glasses till you're ready to use them. I had to ask the cashier how it worked and she looked at me thinking I am such a dummy. Heck I had no idea. I don't use sunglasses, you dummy.
Now I'll have to tell GAC it's a sunglasses clip. Boy will they think they're dummies as well.
Lobos In Hawaii
The UNM Lobos are playing in Hawaii. Or should I say they played in Hawaii. It was a late game. I tried to listen but fell asleep off and on. I figured if I fall asleep with the radio on, it was ok since I was getting up early to go watch the final day of the Balloon Fiesta. That radio station would be reporting from balloon park whether the balloons were going to fly or not. The weatherman said it should be a go by morning.
Well, the Lobos actually played pretty good. Can you believe that they beat Hawaii?!!!? I think the score was 35-23. We'll have to double check the score later on today.
That is just awesome that they beat Hawaii in Hawaii. I thought they would lose only because they are playing there in Hawaii.

Day 9 Was A Blast!!!
I went out to see the Farewell Ascension of the Balloon Fiesta. I had no idea where I was going to go. I was going to head towards the Target parking lot at Paseo and I-25 but figured it was already too late to get there. I kind of went back to sleep after the alarm went off this morning. So, as I was going up Montgomery, I saw the dawn patrol up around the railroad tracks. Last minute, I decided to on Edith. I saw the dawn patrol balloons hovering over Edith. I wanted to go to the parking lot where the Rail Runner picks up passengers at Los Ranchos. As I turned onto the road (sorry can't think of the name of it) I remembered this place I went to before and it was a great place for the balloons to come in for a landing. It's been a couple of years since I've been there. Who knows, by now there might be houses and buildings in that area. I turned around and headed east on this nameless road. Then (oh, it's El Pueblo Rd.) I saw that street I had been on and there were lots of cars down that road. So I was going to turn around and saw the road above that street. I remember the balloons landing there so I went down that road and parked. There were already other cars/trucks in the area. The balloons were already lifting off from the balloon park by now. Here I am with my trusty old camera and my phone camera. I knew I'd get some great pictures. Now here come the balloons. Some came fast, some took their time coming over. The Special Shape balloons didn't get to this area because of the winds or whatever. They landed just south of the balloon field. There were a few that made it to where we were. Here I am taking pictures of the balloons all around me. This lady was saying something like "Oh my, here it comes, it's going to hit me!" Then someone knocked me to the ground because I was going to be runned over by a balloon!!! The pilot was yelling down to us saying it's OK, don't worry, he's not landing. He came close to us but not within reach. I tried to turn and take a picture, not sure if I did get anything. That was some exciting moment!! Anyway, lots of balloons came and landed in the place I would have gone to the first time if I hadn't missed the street. I wanted to see Elvis but he didn't fly or didn't make it off the balloon field. Yesterday he stayed on the balloon field. But we were introduced to the Shark balloon!! I went after him but he was getting away. Probably trying to find some water. I yelled to him he was going the wrong way. He was going SE instead of west to the river! Silly fish. Ha ha.
Maybe, maybe not, will share some pictures. Depends how they turned out and if I know how to put them up here. You'll just have to wait and see.........

Day 1 Has Been Grounded
Yeppers, no flying today!! The weather people have been saying that all week!! Always the week before Balloon Fiesta, the weather is just gorgeous!! Then the first day of fiesta comes around and the weather is at it's rotteness (is that such a word?)
I am sure the gas balloons will not go up and the balloon glow will be blown out. The winds are kind of there but they said it'll get worse as the day wears on. Hmmm, we'll see. I am not going there tonight. I just want to drive around and see the balloons fly around the city. I don't know about going to the balloon field. Too many people and costs too much. When you're on a limited budget, you can't do everything you want to. Oh well.
It's also Conference weekend. I have enjoyed the talks I've heard today. I wrote down someone's name as I liked his talk the best. Robert C Gay. Something I gotta share with my niece. And everyone else. I enjoy listening to the conference talks. Later on this evening will be heading out to Deseret Book for Ladies Night. I enjoy that as well. Free gift to the first 100 ladies and lots of yummy food to eat and lots of prizes to win. And check out the books and things there as well. Wishing I could have this and that.
The great niece is now 18 months old!! My how time flies. I don't know if I mentioned this before but I will tell it here. That girl is such a funny kid. She made us laugh the past few times she's been with us. My brother gave her a couple of broken cell phones. She just thinks they are the best things to have. She talks to her 'friends' or someone. Anyway, the past few times she folds up the phone and then tries to put it inside her shirt. Tries so hard and sometimes gets pretty upset that it's not working. It just falls inside the shirt and onto the floor. Hmmm, how does my mom (grandma) keep it in their shirts? she asks. I guess in due time she'll learn the secret. In the meantime she'll keep trying to figure it out or just give up and find a pocket to put it in.
