Dallas Cowboys go 0-3 ~ Riding Boots for Fall

GO COWBOYS!!!

Well... we're 0-3 in the Pre-Season... 

 We have one last game before the regular season... 
Thursday, Aug 28 - 7 PM vs the Denver Broncos (aka - Peyton Manning)

There are a few take aways from our pre-season loss to the Miami Dolphins last night. 

 #1 - Tony Romo (our QB - quarterback) can be hit. He had his second back surgery this past Summer and it's nice to know he's going to sacrifice his body for the team! Let's just hope we miraculously pull out a record better than 8-8 to make it worth it for ole Romo! (Side Note, Weeden didn't look too bad as our back-up QB.) 

 #2 - We have a great punt returner in Dwayne Harris. Dude is entertaining, fast and drives the ball forward! Maybe we need him as a RB? Ha - just kidding! He is a WR for us as well... so the tricky part for most Coaching staffs is... use this guy as your punt returner for the potential of a "big play" - and hope he doesn't get hurt because we need him as a WR too! We need Harris to stay healthy all season!! 

 ***FANTASY FOOTBALL ALERT***If your league gives points for special teams - you may want to select the Cowboys!***Also, here is a list of things you should know before you draft your team!

 #3 - Bruce Carter... this dude struggled in our Defensive scheme last year... but, last night - we saw him block a punt against Miami! The punt didn't count, but that wasn't Carter's fault. Our new Defensive Coordinator, Rob Marinelli, plans to switch up how he uses Carter, so maybe we can get back to our expectations of this Tar Heel alumni. 

 #4 - Dan Bailey is still Dan Bailey. Our kicker that is 90% accurate in his career! #legit

GO RANGERS!!!

Record... 50-79 (W-L)

 Well, the Rangers are already planning their Winter vacations. We are 26.5 games behind the Oakland A's, who are in first place. So, the plan is... get through the next month of games. Take the family to a game (tickets are cheap), support the Rangers, and gear up for next year. 

 The team needs to focus on getting healthy and having some bonding time! The chemistry seems so off this year. I think it's because JD bought Prince Fielder and it's like the Bambino curse. But that's just me. I don't really believe in curses, but I don't believe in buying big name first baseman's either! :)

 Random Info/Fashion Tips:
Ladies... Boot season is about to be upon us! 

 What? It's still 100 degrees outside! I know... I know... but if you start prepping your Fall wardrobe now... you won't be stressed going into the BEST season of the year!!

Most retailers will have their Fall assortments out this week. By the end of September, their full assortment will be available and they should still have most sizes!! :) 

 ***LEATHER RIDING BOOT TIP*** I have a somewhat athletic build, which does not make it easy to fit into "knee high riding boots" - without cutting off the circulation in my legs! So... I decided years ago, to invest in real leather riding boots, the kind you slip on, no zipper. If you get these types of boots - you can take them to a cobbler or leather guy (if you live in the country - these guys still exist) - they have a "boot stretcher" that will work wonders on your boots! I left mine at a cobbler for two weeks and my boots slid on over jeans all Fall/Winter! So, if you have boots like this (remember, it only works on real leather and non-zipper boots) - you should take them to a cobbler now and you'll get them back by the time the temperature starts to drop!! :) 

I know real leather is more expensive... but it's worth it! You can condition them with saddle soap and get the bottoms re-soled. So, they have the potential to last a good 5-7 years or longer if you take care of them!! Definitely worth the investment! :) 

 ***Tip to fit jeans in boots***Once your jeans are on... put socks on that you can pull up over your jeans (or these knee highs that I love)... pinch the bottom of your skinny jeans - fold over flat against your ankle - take the sock/hose and pull it up over your jeans... then slide your boot on without worrying about tucking your jeans into the boot itself!*** 

 Hug someone :)

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36  (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!!  Well, only 5 other guys can and have.  Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks.  His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need.  Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia.  Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever.  We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...

Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings ~ NFC East ~ NFL logo quiz

GO COWBOYS!!! 10-1 1st in the NFL 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, December 1st 7:25 PM CST on NBC We've NEVER won 10 consecutive games. Ever.  We lost our first game of the season to the New York Giants, by one point. And oddly enough, they are still the ghost we're trying to run away from and secure our playoff spot with only 5 Regular Season games left.  Here is what the NFC East looks like going into Week 13...  The Minnesota Vikings... what should we fear?  The Vikings are in the NFC North Division. They currently trail the Detroit Lions for a spot in the playoffs. They have only won 1 of their last 5 games, which makes this Thursday night, showtime game, a must win for the Vikings!  4-1 at home, The Vikings meet the Cowboys who are 5-0 on the road. Oh how I love those odds! Forever in our favor this season.  Quarterback situation. Sam Bradford is the starting QB for the Vikings. A guy they got in the o...
