Flair

So my new addiction is facebook. Let me know if you are on facebook and you are not my friend!

And well who knew from the movie OFFICE SPACE that flair would be famous one day...

Here are some of my favorites lately......

GOOOOOOOO DAWGS!!

Go DAWGS....SIC 'EM!

So last weekend when Georgia played Central Michigan and beat them to a pulp, Freddie and I went to Athens with some friends. One it was my "birthday weekend" (Monday the 8th) so of course we needed to do something fun. We rode up there with our friends Amy & Hyden. They are so much fun. Anyway, we park at the Kroger in A-town and get into an Escalade to go tail-gate. ALL 8 of us scrunched up on the coolers, BBQ, food, chairs, etc. What a sight for sore eyes. Then we have the ultimate parking spot right next to the stadium. We could see inside the stadium from where we were.

It was Freddie and my first game "together". I can't believe since we have been dating and engaged, now married, that we never have gone to a game.

Anyway, the game was fun (and hot). I won't tell you what Freddie snuck into the game and then proceeded to put in my purse. And then we were talking to some guy from the GBI. Felt nervous!!! Like a kid at a high school football game.

Then we come home and the ride home was hilarious.....I will post some pics from that later.

First Grade Facts Part One

So it has been a while since I have blogged. SOOO busy and well lately I have been addicted to facebook...it is so quick!

Anyway, I am now officially a first grade teacher and sooooooooo exhausted. I have twenty first graders in my room. Boy they keep you on your toes. And now guess what? I lost my voice. Cold maybe? Who knows. Try teaching twenty little ones with no voice. That was fun today.

Facts for the Day:
1.No matter how many times you ask them to be quiet. They TALK NON-STOP.
2.They love to throw rocks at recess...and try to maybe hit an assistant or two.
3.They come back from lunch with mustard and whatever all over their face.
4.They will do anything and I mean anything for ONE single little Skittle. And they will cry if they do not get one.
5.They raise their hands but yell Mrs. Neal, Mrs. Neal, Mrs. Neal, Mrs. Neal....all day long. Can I change my name?
6.They pee all day long. Do kids really need to use the bathroom THAT much?
7.If they don't call me Mrs. Neal, they call me MOMMA. WHAT? Um....not yet, thank you.
8.They all look forward to Fun Friday...and SO DO I! :)

Dawgs ranked No. 1 in today's USA TODAY/Coaches poll

Coaches rank Georgia No. 1

Athens — It's official. Georgia is No. 1.

To date, the tremendous expectations for the Bulldogs in 2008 were mostly, well, just expectations. But with Friday morning's news that Georgia took the top spot in the USA Today/Coaches preseason poll, the notion that the Bulldogs should contend for a national championship this season is tangible and real. Georgia opens the season on Aug. 30 against Ga. Southern.

"Being number one in the coaches' preseason poll does have significance since it's one-third of the formula to decide who plays in the national championship game," Georgia coach Mark Richt said Friday in press release from the university. "But the postseason poll is the one that is the most important. However, I know the ranking is exciting for Georgia football and hopefully we can do our part to stay in the race."

Georgia has never been ranked No. 1 by a major poll in the preseason, according to the UGA sports communications office. The Bulldogs were ranked No. 2 by The Associated Press in 1942, No. 3 by AP in 2004 and No. 6 by AP in 1967. The highest preseason ranking they received from the coaches poll was No. 4 in 2004. Georgia finished No. 1 in 1942 in six different polls but not AP.

Georgia has already been declared preseason No. 1 in several preseason publications, including The Sporting News, Lindy's, Blue Ribbon and the Birmingham News. AJC columnist Mark Bradley and college football expert Tony Barnhart are among several media members who have tabbed the Bulldogs to win it all in 2008.

Oddly, Georgia, which finished last season ranked No. 2 by AP and No. 3 by the coaches, was not even predicted to win the Eastern Division in the Southeastern Conference this season, much less the overall league championship. That distinction went to Florida.

The complete poll:

1. Georgia
2. USC
3. Ohio State
4. Oklahoma
5. Florida
6. LSU
7. Missouri
8. West Virginia
9. Clemson
10. Texas
11. Auburn
12. Wisconsin
13. Kansas
14. Texas Tech
15. Virginia Tech
16. Arizona State
17. Brigham Young
18. Tennessee

20. Oregon
21. South Florida
22. Penn State
23. Wake Forest
24. Michigan
25. Fresno State
