I've gotten myself hooked on Chai Lattes instead of coffee beverages. I found a good article on "What is Chai Tea and how to make a Chai Latte." It doesn't appear to be very difficult. I think I'll stock in those supplies and make them from scratch. Marcus and I have been trying to make changes in our eating habits to include less processed and premade stuff.

Of course, since Chai is actually the word for tea in many languages, saying Chai Tea is redundant. Those kinds of things drive Marcus batty.

After coming back from a 3–1 deficit in their series with the Cleveland Indians, the Boston Red Sox won the ALCS tonight to become the Rockie's opponent in this year's World Series. Fortunately the series is being shown on FOX, so I can actually watch it instead of having to listen to the radio or watch virtually through MLB.com's Gameday feature. GO ROCKIES!!!!


Wednesday at work we are having a Rockies Appreciation Day or some such thing. We're supposed to wear Rockies shirts if we have them and the company is buying pizza and sodas for the employees. I don't own any thing Rockies or purple for that matter. I looked at Target today to see if they had a purple polo or something, but no dice.

In other sports news, the Broncos had to have Jason Elam save their butt in the last seconds of the game once again to win against the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. They blew a good lead to have the game tied right at the end. This is a habit this season that I wish they'd break. Winning is still better than the beating they took two weeks ago, but still...

These ornaments were really popular at craft malls and fairs a few years ago. I never bought any because I figured I could make them myself and I even had instructions to make them at one point, but lost them. Colleen posted a link the other day to an online Ribbon Pinecone Ornament tutorial that she found while looking for holiday crafts for her kids. Yay!!

Remember how I mentioned yesterday that I made paper Rockies player dolls that I put on my monitor at work? Well, some jackoff thought it would be cool to destroy them. Nobody saw who did it (though someone guessed it may have been the Diamondback fan). Why do people have to destroy other people's property? :(
