My favorite football team is Chelsea London, one of the best teams in Barclays premier league. Their training ground is at Cobham in Surrey but sessions are not open to the general public. Special open days are organized at Stamford Bridge when fans can see the team train. The stadium’s capacity is 41841 seats on which you can come to see a match. Their is coach is currently Carlo Ancelotti, and he’s from my opinion a genius because his team wins very frequently in their own country’s league and if they get at least a 5th place they will in go in UEFA Champions League, one of the most respected championships in the world. But surprisingly they haven’t won this championship until now. My favorite player is Didier Drogba, a black man whit an excellent physical condition. His nationality is Ivorian and his position in the team squad is striker.

Good Ol’ Irish Home-Cooked Dinner

Last night I went back to my roots and had the most amazing dinner of roast beef. It reminded me of when I was a kid. I even made the mashed potatoes with real butter and mixed the cabbage in. It was gorgeous. Sometimes I think we forget that the best food is often the most simplest and the one that brings back the most memories. I must admit to having a bit of barbeque sauce on the side. I know it’s not strictly Irish but it just tasted so damn good. For dessert I made the most amazing (even if I do say so myself) pancakes with golden syrup. I’m definitely going to have to make a good meal like that again. It’s too often people just come straight home from work and put a meal in the microwave. Bring back the fun!

Things I do every day

Every day I wake up in the morning, I wash on the face and brush my teeth. After this I eat my breakfast and I drink the daily coffee. I dress up and I go to work by bus as usual. Then I arrive to work and I start repairing computers, which my job is. At 6 PM I go home at my family and I eat the dinner with them. I usually read a book, watch a movie or go out in the town with the family or co-workers. I play with my children some games before they sleep and after this I spend some time with some wife. After a couple of hours spent with her, I drink a glass of milk and I watch TV until 12 o’clock when I usually go to sleep. I wake up in the morning and I do almost the same thing like the day before. This is my daily routine!

A Trilogy to Inspire

: Cover of A Man Named Dave

A book I have been given which I always return to reread is an edition of the trilogy by Dave Pelzer (containing the stories A Child Called ‘It’, The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave). These books follow the harrowing early life of Dave in which he suffered mental and physical abuse by his Mother and charts his progress through the foster home system and eventually on to his life as an adult. Although, at times, it can be a hard read, this book continues to inspire me and provides hope that a person is not their past. I definitely recommend you have a read as I have given this book to numerous friends and they have felt similar to me. As someone who works with children from disadvantaged areas, this book will always underline, for me, the fact that a child always has a bright future if they can find people who will support and believe in them.

When to Consider an Orthopedic Dog Bed

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:16:12 +0000

Orthopedic dog beds should be considered for a variety of reasons. If your dog is getting older and showing signs of stiffness or having trouble getting up, it is certainly the time to start looking at orthopedic dog beds. Older dogs can have problems with arthritis and can develop hip dysplasia. This causes pain and soreness, just like arthritis does with humans. Everyone knows how lying down in a comfy bed helps these symptoms. Also, the dog that is recovering from surgery is made more comfortable in an orthopedic bed. Larger breed dogs are another category that really enjoys having a comfortable bed to support their larger bodies evenly. Some orthopedic beds come in memory foam and some are even heated. It is definitely worth checking into these beds to make your dog feel comfortable and content.

Okay Blue Jays!

My favorite baseball team is the Toronto Blue Jays. They play in the American League East, and started play in 1977. Originally, the team played at Exhibition Stadium. In 1985, the Toronto Blue Jays won their first American League East crown. After going up three games to one against the Kansas City Royals, they went on to lose three straight and lose the series (Royals went on to win the World Series that year). In 1989, the Blue Jays would move into their new (and current home) called the Rogers Center (originally called Skydome). It’s a 53,000 retractable roof domed stadium. In 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays won their first World Series title, defeating the Atlanta Braves. The next year, the Jays would also win the World Series, this time defeating the Philadelphia Phillies on a Joe Carter home run. Unfortunately, the Toronto Blue Jays haven’t been back to the post season since, but with their young and talented roster, the future looks very promising.

I Want Them to Be “My Boys”

I really enjoy the show “My Boys”. The premise is that a female sports reporter has a circle of friends that is mostly boys. She hangs out with them, plays poker with them, drinks beer with them, and other stereotypically boy activities. Not only do I like the characters (They’re well-written), I like the actors who play them. I have fun watching them, and I imagine I’d have fun hanging out with them. I also love the fact that I know absolutely nothing about sports, yet I can understand the show without a problem. Unique situations turn up from the gender difference between PJ (the main character) and the boys–especially when she starts dating one of them. A highlight of the show is comedian Jim Gaffigan as PJ’s brother. His dialogue is clever, and his delivery is usually spot-on. I like the show because it’s good old-fashioned fun.

My Bad Day

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 07:12:10 +0000

Then I had to get the house ready for a cook-out with the in-laws and family and deal with a cranky younger child. I had to go shopping for food for the party as well as things that were needed around the house and for school lunches. Guests started showing up around late afternoon and had to entertain and keep a cheery face so as to not show how upset I was about the fight I had had earlier with my dear husband. After the party, my husband found the receipt for the shopping trip and starting fighting with me over how much money I had spent and what it was on. (Which was mostly for food for his children?) So basically it started with crying and ended with crying. What a lovely day!!!

They call it T-town

View Larger Map

I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and it is called T-town. It is a University town because it is home to the University of Alabama. We also have a community or 2 year college called Shelton State and a private called Stillman College. Tuscaloosa was once the capital of Alabama. It is next to the Black Warrior River. The city is in the process of developing the river area with parks and recreation areas. The downtown area is also in the middle of a major redevelopment because a new federal courthouse is being built. Besides the University, the city has other major employers – Druid City Hospital is probably the largest employee. We also have JVC and Mercedes International. One thing that Tuscaloosa lacks is malls and major stores. We do not even have a Best Buy or Circuit City. One of the malls is about to close because the only major store closed last year. I would like to see a Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond and a Macy’s come to town. Tuscaloosa is probably best known for college football because of Coach Bear Bryant. People from all over the state name their children after Coach Bryant. My husband and I both work at the University. And that is a small bit about T-town.
