birthday month fun - part 2

part 2 of the birthday month fun involved...
you guessed it...
pats season opener!!!

and you know what happens at a season opener
when you're the reigning super bowl champs???
you get a flo rida concert

and you get celebrity sightings like
this wrestling guy (i think)

and mark wahlberg

and they unveil the new banner

and rub it in everyone's face


and way overdo the fireworks

and hand out a lot of gifts

and a crap ton of people show up


besides attending the game
we also took guzzy with us and camped at a nearby campground
and did some pregame tailgating




as well as postgame tailgating

i definitely enjoy attending the pats games
but my heart still belongs to my cowboys
and hopefully we'll make it to a game this year
but not for this birthday month
and btw...the pats cheerleaders
aren't even close in comparison to the dallas cowboy cheerleaders!  :)

this was a mixture of cell phone pics and "real camera" pics
yes, i braved the crowd and took my "real" camera into the game
it was fun for once but don't think i'll do it again  lol

birthday month - recap

day 1 - worked all day and spent all night (literally) helping my sister set up the reception area for my niece's wedding

day 2 - worked all day and spent the evening at a kansas winery for the rehearsal dinner - we actually found a couple wines we liked even!  this was also my sister's birthday and i got to spend it with her for once!

day 3 - spent the day celebrating young love - my niece and newest nephew got married!

day 4 - got to spend a little more quality time with my brother and his family and then spent the entire day flying back to maine

day 5 - started out as a relaxing day on the dock then we proceeded to take the sailboat and bass boat out of the water for the season (boo!).  ended the day with pat's pizza and the grocery store

day 6 - caught up on ray donovan and of course worked all day

day 7 - attended a paints and pints class with amy where we got to learn to watercolor while drinking beer - how can you go wrong?  oh, and of course there was the work thing all day


day 8 - went to a wine and cheese tasting with sean and amber and the work thing

day 9 - check out my surprise birthday getaway post

day 10 - check out my surprise birthday getaway post

day 11 - check out my surprise birthday getaway post

day 12 - attended our town selectman's meeting, finished watching the series boardwalk empire and did the work thing

day 13 - started cutting back the flower gardens and went on a final wine cruise on the pontoon boat (and the work thing) - the moon was so bright and the stars were beautiful!

day 14 - went to dinner with my honey and got caught up on ray donovan, oh and that work thing

day 15 - ran a bunch of errands with duke and went to bed early (oh that work thing)

day 16 - worked all day and then loaded up guzzy and headed near the new hampshire boarder to visit some friends

day 17 - spent the day helping friends finish getting ready for the party, lounging by the pool, visiting with old and new friends, playing corn hole, having too many beverages and staying up way too late

day 18 - spent the day recovering from the day before, lounging around watching football (yea cowboys won, although we watched the pats) and heading back home with guzzy (and the rest of the family)

day 19 - worked all day then went to check on my garden and picked the ripe tomatoes and then spent the rest of the night working on cpe - that's rude that they make your cpa license due the month of your birth and require so much cpe at the same time!

day 20 - all weekend duke was screeching whenever you would touch him.  we finally were able to get him into the vet.  still don't have any answers other than he has hurt his back.  spent the rest of the day cuddling him and having a meltdown regarding the fact that he's getting older....i'm sure i also worked and did cpe but it's all a blur...

day 21 - worked and did cpe, took the last boat out of the water and started the process of taking all the lake toys to the barn for the winter

day 22 - worked and did cpe, made dinner, went for ice cream and watched the pats (we were supposed to be at the game but with duke not feeling well and not knowing the issue we decided to stay home)

day 23 - was pretty lazy - did the work thing and some cpe, watched the season finale of ray donovan and then went to bed early to prep for the next day

day 24 - spent the entire day closing up camp - from sinking the dock to moving all the outdoor furniture to the garage.  ended the day with pizza and beers with great friends.

day 25 - did the grocery store thing, watched a niece play soccer (brrrrr!), continued camp close up and watched the cowboys!  and of course cuz it was national lobster day we ended the day with some lobster on the marina! YUM!


day 26 - cpe, cpe, cpe

day 27 - cpe, cpe, cpe

day 28 - took duke to see the doggie neurologist and more cpe...

day 29 - finally finished all my cpe!

day 30 - went apple picking!

tailgating in style

every so many years
the pats play the cowboys
and this year it just so happened to be in dallas

right after we got the tickets
they announced brady had a 5 game suspension
which disappointed sean - to put it lightly

boy was sean happy when they reversed that
but then i was disappointed because romo go injured and didn't play
we invited all our new england friends to come join the fun
and some took us up on the offer
along with some local friends

so we gassed up guzzy
and headed for some tailgating fun

and football watching

insta-friday (on saturday)

work trip to tampa - no upgrade, but at least an exit row

crazy tunnel when making my connection - only a few more weeks and then it's back to non-stop trips

"are you ready for some football - it's a monday night party"

50th bday party/bbq for a work peep

boys in charge of cutting the cake

new shoes out of necessity - those of you that know me are thinking "yea, right" but it's true.  both pair of shoes i took on my work trip were broken and didn't come home with me.
