We had our baby shower yesterday at Papago Brewery. It was a great turnout even though several people did not show that had thought they would. We got tons of presents that I am kind of loathing going through, but there is some pretty darn cute and useful things!

Tonight we went to Four Peaks to watch the Vikings and Saints play in the NFC Championship game. I was really hoping that this would be the year I would see my Vikings finally go to the Super Bowl, but alas it was not meant to be. In a game where Brett Favre threw 2 interceptions and we fumbled 6 times, losing it 4, I was shocked that it was as close as it was. In the end, we marched down the field with 2 minutes left and the game tied at 28. At the point where it would have been a 51 yd Field Goal attempt on 3rd down for Longwell who can easily hit from 52 yds, we got called for too many men on the field, a 5 yd penalty putting us out of range. It was 3rd & 15 with 19 seconds left and Brett threw his final interception In overtime we lost the coin toss and got some bad calls, the crappy Saints kicker happened to get lucky and hit a 40 yarder to win the game. All was silent and sad in the bar, some die-hard Vikings fan were in shock. I guess losing to the Saints was a lot easier to take than virtually any other team, at least I liked them. The stupid Colts also won today, oh well; at least I don’t have to sit through another 4 hours of torment and stress!
