Yesterday my middle school went over to the high school across the street with a couple other schools to listen to Miss America give a speech! She was the very first Miss Indiana to win the pageant. She had a very good message and we all really enjoyed it. We got to see her crown, but she didn't put it on because she said it was only an object. She wasn't even wearing any fancy dress or anything. She also sang for us, and believe me, she could be a professional singer if she wanted to, but she said she's studying Communication at the University of Indianapolis, the exact same school my mom went to!
I think the funniest part of it all was when she was taking questions and one of the high school students asked, "Will you marry me?" She said, "Oh, that's not a proper proposal," so he goes out there in front of nearly 1,000 people, gets down on his knee, and proposes to Miss America!

NFL Week 6
Apparently I will be keeping you up to date with all things NFL, since I have nothing else to blog about and also because I've been doing it for the past five weeks.
Anyway, on Sunday the whiny, crybaby Patriots and their whiny, crybaby quarterback lost to Denver! The game had to go into overtime, and the game finally ended with a field goal by the Denver kicker. All the AFC teams wore their throwback jerseys, and let me tell you, the Denver throwbacks are not pretty. Their colors are ( get ready to gag in horror). . . brown and yellow! Worst football colors in the history of football colors!
Indianapolis beat the Titans by a lot (I forget the final score). Tennessee is probably the biggest shock of this season so far. Last year they won 10 straight games, and they are currently 0-5. Will the real Tennessee Titans please step forward?

Happy Birthday!
Today is my wonderful mother's 40th birthday! Ironically, we didn't get her anything, (I completely forgot about it until this morning) but she did get us one of those Vortex footballs that whistle when you throw it hard. And to make it a hundredfold better, it's a Packers football! We've already had a great time throwing it around in the backyard.
Speaking of 40th birthdays, there's that one NFL quarterback who was born today, too. Oh, what's his name. . .oh yeah, Brett Favre. He's 40 today also. What a loser. You can tell he's pretty desperate if he's still playing football at 40 years old, especially for the Vikings.
Well, to end on a happier note,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!

NFL Week 5
Last Sunday, Benedict Favre and his Vikings beat the Mighty Pack, which was greeted by many tears and gnashing of teeth in the Speckhard household. With this win, Brett Favre becomes the fist NFL quarterback to beat every single team in the league.
There were many fantastic plays on both sides of the field, and I'm fairly sure that if we didn't have seven sacks we would've at least brought it into overtime. For example, Clay Matthews stripped the ball away from Adrian Peterson and took it to the end zone. This is Adrian Peterson we're talking about. No mere mortal could strip the ball away from him.
Well, we put up a valiant fight. "We" meaning everyone but the offensive line. It looks like they're still atrocious. I am going to sue someone if they don't start playing like they're getting payed millions.

Movie Day
Once every quarter my wonderful homeroom teacher gives us "Movie Day", in which he picks out a movie to watch and we bring in whatever food or beverage we want and we spend two periods watching a movie and eating. Yes, I know what you're thinking. Best. Teacher. Ever. Oh, but that's just the icing on the cake!
He is a DIE HARD Packer fan! AND he makes - repeat - makes us stand on our desks and sing "Happy Birthday" as loud as we possibly can whenever someone has a birthday. Yes, I have to admit. He is the best teacher ever.
