It's September, its football season, and some doll ramblings

September really did come up fast. Tonight its supposed to be in the 40's - Fall has arrived in UT!It got pretty warm the last few days, but the type of warm has definitely changed. I love it.

This weekend will be Week 2 of the NFL. Last Thursday I got to watch the Packers get beaten by Seattle. I was getting the flu so it was miserable enough without seeing them lose. Then Sunday we watched the Patriots lose to the Dolphins. Let's just say I am not overly hopeful about the Pats. Between the pathetic game calling by the coaches (where was that halftime adjustment??? Or any adjustment for that matter???) the terrible defensive play (though the secondary wasn't too bad, did the defense realize they were supposed to stop the guy running forward with the ball???) and the offensive line that was doing it's best swiss cheese imitation (pocket collapsing that quick, so many times???) I am sort of dreading their game against the Vikings this Sunday. If Miami had good luck running against, Adrian Peterson must be licking his lips at the amount of yards he is guaranteed to get. The Packers I am not quite so down on, but losing Raji was HUGE. (No pun intended there on the man's stature.) Their offense didn't look quite together, and their defense was lacking. However, they were playing against the World Champs, a team looking to totally dominate the league this year. So, I expect a much better showing against the Jets. :) If the Jets, the Bills and the Dolphins all end up 2-0 next week while the Pats are 0-2, there will be some howling at the moon. As that would also mean the Packers are starting out 0-2 while Minnesota goes 2-0. We also watched the Colts/Broncos game on Sunday night, and while Denver may have won, I was super pleased to see their lackluster play in the second half. I have never been a Denver fan in any realm of existence. And while I do not wish any serious ill on Peyton Manning, I am dreading the 16-0 and 19-0 the ever annoying media will be pushing. Again. Okay, bitching over. Now on to something that makes me prickle less!

I am working on some Halloween food treats for my store. It probably won't be too much of an emphasis for me this year, but I want to add a little something. I have 2 things made tonight. I planned on more, but I had a near disaster trying to fix the Rebecca dress I just listed in my store tonight. (It took surgical like care and about an hour to remove all the thread, and the serging stitch without damaging the loose delicate weave of the fabric, but all is well.) I'll work on it some more tomorrow along with some commission work.
