Yesterday I noted that I’d have much more to say and, as it turns out, I don’t. But I am still profoundly happy – so happy that I wore my championship shirt as I travelled to Atlanta Monday evening. I can’t tell you how many people stopped me in Atlanta to share their joy at […]

MFFL (Mavs Fans For Life)
We are – and I have so much more to say but I’m still trying to wake up and process the excitement of watching our team win the championship last night. For now, all I can say is: The Hayleys and The Wheelers were in the house last night. We screamed, we cheered, we high […]
Warning: Shannah Geeks Out
I had a celebrity crush moment this week. I’m not gonna lie – I was like a little chatty teenage girl. I did manage not to cry, but I didn’t manage to avoid babbling and grinning like a fool. The Boy and I attended an industry charity event, benefiting the Dallas Mavericks Foundation. As you’d […]
Hey Now, You’re An All-Star…
How do you know something is over the top fun? When it takes you nearly a week to be able to write about it! Last Sunday, The Boy and I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience – we went to the NBA All-Star Game. The game was held at the Cowboys Stadium in the Dallas metro area. […]
What $1.2 Billion Will Buy You

Surprisingly, when you drive up to the stadium, it doesn’t feel that big. I’m sure I would have a different opinion if I lived in one […]
Game On!

After suffering through heart-wrenching season end after season end since 2006, I’m praying that redemption draweth nigh. This evening, I’m taking a step back from a more meaningful blog posting to say: GO MAVS GO!!!!
Gustav and Golf – Not a Great Mix
Golf on staycation would have been great, if not for the remnants of Gustav traveling through North Texas. Overcast skies = no thought of sunscreen = 1st sunburns of the year 18.9 mph winds + walking the course = shots flying off-course, constant battling to stay upright and sore muscles the day after. At least […]
Craigslist can work!
I try to be careful when applying the axiom “Prayer changes everything.” I think prayer does change things – but not always the way that I want it to or when I want it to! I’ve just had a huge sigh of relief. Our Dallas Mavericks playoff tickets for tomorrow night sold!! It’s ridiculous to […]
