Like last week, I have only one word to say about NFL Week 8: ashamed. The Mighty* Pack fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who hadn't won a game previous to last week. Pitiful. AND they were wearing their hideous throwback jerseys (see picture below)! It makes me nauseous just thinking about it. Same as last year, we got our hopes up in the preseason and the first few games, and now our hopes are foiled. We play Dallas next week, and if we can't beat Tampa, then I'm pretty sure we can't beat the Cowboys. On the bright side, the veteran Ahman Green became the all-time leading rusher for the Packers! Is it just me, or does this year seem very full of breaking records?
* "Mighty" referring to everyone beside the offensive line and special teams. By the way, I hope our special teams coach is fired immediately and moves to Ukraine.
Moving on, earlier last week (last Saturday to be exact) we were in Indianapolis. Why, you ask? For my mom's marathon. All 26.2 miles of it. What was that? Is she handing out water bottles? No! She's running the marathon. Joke? No, it's actually not a joke. Yep, my mom RAN 26.2 miles. And to top it all of, I ran the last mile with her. So technically I finished a marathon! But I didn't start it.
Running in a long sleeve shirt and jeans isn't very enjoyable
My mom's best friend, Tracy, ran the marathon with her.Also, this past weekend we went to Bloomington to visit our cousin, Kyle, who goes to Indiana University. Benjamin's friend Joseph went with us, and we all had a great time touring the campus and his dorm room. The campus is absolutely HUGE, in case you have never been to IU before. Figures, seeing as there are about 40 or 50 thousand students attending!
After we had looked around the recreation building (Which has pool tables and a bowling alley!), we went to an ice cream place for some delicious mint chocolate chip cones, shakes, etc. We continued to tour the many beautiful plazas, courtyards, and buildings. By the end of the day, we had walked extremely far, and we were all very tired, so we decided to go eat dinner at a local pizza place called, "Mother Bear's Pizza", which Kyle extremely recommended. Indeed, the pizza was phenomenal, and we quickly devoured it. As we ate, we were quite occupied by examining the interesting walls and seats, which were absolutely choked with countless graffiti artists' work. Apparently, the restaurant allows people to write on their walls and seats!
After dinner, we said goodbye to Kyle and headed to Noblesville, where we were staying with my mom's friend Cindy, and her husband Chris. Cindy and Chris' house is probably the most fun and action-packed house you'll ever go to. Not only does their son, Mitchell, have a whole lot of guns to play war with, and a PlayStation, but they have a basketball court for a basement! Yeah, you heard me right! If you mosey on down to the first basement, you'll find a pool table, a HUGE TV, and a bar; and if you mosey on down to a basement underneath the first basement, you'll find a giant, cement basketball court as big as a normal half court. And down there you'll find even more toys (most of which consist of guns) and plenty of balls, not only basketballs, but baseballs, soccer balls, and just all-around balls.
After we played war in the basements we watched Flushed Away, and in the morning we had a delicious breakfast of pancakes and cinnamon rolls. Finally, after our long and eventful week, we headed home.
