Fat Pants

So Todd is in his fourth week of work for the summer. During the school year he often walks to school, which is a little over a mile, but now he walks just to and from bus stops so is not getting nearly as much exercise. Also, the firm pays for lunch EVERY day. Needless to say he's not choosing salads when he's eating out. So with all of this, he is weighing about 25 pounds more than usual. We're not sure if all of that was gained in three weeks, but he has gone up a size in his dress pants since last summer. He proudly tells his coworkers that he had to buy fat pants because his skinny pants don't fit anymore. With how much these new pants cost (he's quickly become a Brooks Brothers snob), if he gains more weight and can't wear the fat pants, he will be forced to wear my maternity pants. :)

In other news, we went to a Cubs game last night. Firm sponsored, so of course I gained a few pounds! It was a meat-lover's dream with hot dogs, sausages, pulled pork, cheeseburgers, and a few veggie burgers. The boys had a great time being babysat. The babysitter seemed quite amused with Anders. His plate was filled with vegetables, which he chose, and later for dessert he chose pickles over ice cream. She had spooned out the pickles into a bowl, and after eating that he proceeded to drink the leftover pickle juice. He said he loved it. I swear he resembles Todd's side more than mine!

My Team

2007 Hawaii Five-Jo Roster

Quarterbacks: Donovan McNabb, Matt Schaub
Running Backs: Shaun Alexander, Brian Westbrook, Brandon Jacobs
Wide Receivers: TJ Houshmandzadeh (a name as hard as mine, I love it), Lee Evans, Wes Welker, Vincent Jackson
Tight Ends: Kellen Winslow, Heath Miller
Kickers: Adam Vinatieri, John Kasay
Defenses: Denver, Jacksonville

I'm not super excited about it, but it's okay. It was the first live draft I've ever participated in, though, and it was really fun.

Are you ready for some Fantasy Football? and Some Commercial Fun With YouTube

Anybody else managing a fantasy football team this year? Jon came up with a brilliant name for my team. I hesitate to say it here because I see it reappearing frequently in my future as an email address or new blog, etc. Hawaii Five-Jo. Not intimidating exactly, but quite clever.

Now, some commercial fun, brought to you by YouTube, Leo's Sports Club, and Vigorsol. Please note, these are European commercials so there might (definitely) be some nudity. Enjoy.
