A Bet Gone Bad

So the inevitable happened—the Patriots lost yesterday's game to the stinkin' NY Jets. Now I have to locate a Jets jersey and take a picture of me wearing it and post on this blog. Not only can I NOT rock green, but it may be next to impossible to locate anything NY in NE. I have only had time to make it to one sporting good store and they didn't sell any other jerseys. So I will continue to try and locate one because a bet is a bet and I plan to make good on it. But my friend Mr. Lewis will be getting on a plan in about 10 days and coming here for my brother's wedding, so if I'm unable to find one here, I'm sure it will be his pleasure to bring me his to wear for the photo. And then he will get to delight in seeing me wear it in the flesh and blood, not just a photo.

In other crazy news, Gavin is allergic to penicillin—which was discovered this morning after I gave him the medicine for his double ear infection and his face broke out in hives. So now i'm on the phone with the doc, while I try to get the kids out the door so that Luke gets to school on time—my sitter is calling to tell me her son is sick and won't be able to watch Gavin while I go to meet the seamstress to try on my bridesmaids dress to make sure it fits OK before bringing it home! Seriously, I thought my head was going to explode. But the dress fits great, Luke made it to school on time and I'm off to get Gavin new medicine for his ear infection. Never a dull moment.

Ali,
Keep looking, I'm sure you will be able to find a Jets jersey somewhere!
Otherwise, I will indeed bring you on. Though I'd hate to deprive myself and my fellow Jets fans out there of seeing you in the green and white for another few weeks.
