I'll take a double dip of chocolate chip with that three and a third.

Okay, so today, I decided I would make the NFL football playoffs more fun this year. I made everyone in my family pick a winner from each playoff game and then their Super Bowl Champ. The winner gets a double dipped cone from Baskin Robbins. Well, so far my daughter and I are the leaders with two victories and two points. Funny, the most unlikely candidates in the household. I chose completely on emotion. The hurt, not good enough Drew Brees comeback quarterback and who couldn't be in favour of Reggie Bush, such a fine person. I also like their colors, gold and black, they are, of course, my Super Bowl Champ pick. With the evidence plastered on the front of the frig, there will be no altering of anyone's choices. The verdicts have been cast and chosen. I first thought we might wager five dollars, but I felt certain my dear mother would come down from heaven above to reprimand me for gambling, thus a double dip cone was chosen. As I gave my daughter the high five tonight, since we are winning, I smiled to the boys of the family and promised them a good fight to the end. We girls will win. Tommorrow, I chose the Bears, I always loved Walter Payton and the Patriots, with the cutest quarterback, Tom Brady. Well, so far, it has worked for me. Forget your statistics guys, pick with your feelings. Oh yeah, the three and a third comes from my older brother who was a running back in high school, very good I might add. He was humble. He said, "all I need to do is get a three and a third everytime I carry the ball." Go.....Saints!!!!
