A column of Pitt love

That's right, we're bringing it. 
Coach of the year? 

Feel the burn

I went to the gym today and watched football. Burned a lot of calories.
Came home and rooted for the Steelers. Probably burned an equivalent amount of calories.
Getting into the playoffs is hard work. And it's not over yet.

UPDATE: OK, no playoffs this year. But still, 9-7 isn't too bad. Troy will recovery gloriously, and we will have a successful 2010 season!

A "rebuilding year"?

Pitt beats undefeated (and No.5) Syracuse at the Carrier Dome.

Outside My Window ...

All the windows are open again! It's about 72 degrees here and WONDERFUL.

***

I am listening to...
the traffic on I-70, outside my window. And the "Into the Woods" soundtrack.

***

To Live the Liturgy...

Liturgy of the hours (I'm getting on board w/ this), Bible Reading, spiritual reading daily, rosary.

***
To Fit and Happy...

Gym. Are you surprised? And ballet classes start this week!

***

I am thankful for...
Beautiful weather; the changing of the seasons
***

I am pondering ...

What I'm going to have for dinner.
***

From the kitchen ...
Not sure. I need to plan something...

I am wearing ...

jeans, a V-neck t-shirt from Banana Republic that I've worn so often it has a hole in the side. But I really like it and only wear it around the house so the hole's OK.

***

I am creating ...
Music--voice lessons start this week!

***
On my iPod...
"Into the Woods"--the movie.

***

I am thinking...
This weather is fantastic.
***

Around the House

Taking out the trash, clearing off the kitchen table so it can be seen, cleaning the kitchen counters.

.***

I am reading ...

FINALLY finished A&J. And then was disappointed. Just not what I was hoping for. Am now reading: We Two (about Victoria and Albert). Have finished: The Miracle Worker, Monday After the Miracle.

***

I am hoping and praying ...
For a good week; for a friend of the family's

***

On Keeping Home ...

these candles look awesome. (keeping this link because they are awesome)

And MORE candles: these are what I'm burning right now.

*yeah, I really like candles*

***
One of my favorite things ...
spaghetti; good friends
