Friendly Wager

With Football underway, Mike and I have a weekly tradition—we Tivo the Patriots game, I make wings, ("Buffalo" wings for all you non-western New Yorkers) cut up celery, poor some blue cheese dressing and we watch the game after the kids go to bed and eat our feast. We stay away from all forms of communication, FB e-mail and news while our game is recording so that it doesn't get spoiled.

I also get to talk smack with a good friend, fellow blogger, sports writer and JETS fan. If you haven't checked out Michael Lewis's Blog, I suggest you do so. It is smart, interesting and funny. I often get my "news" there, since being a stay-at-home mom often leaves me feeling disconnected from the outside world.

The result of last weeks verbal exchanged resulted in a friendly wager. If the Patriots win, Mr. Lewis must wear a Brady jersey, take a picture, and post it on his blog for a week. If the Jets win, I must find a Mark Sanchez jersey to wear, take a pic and post it on my blog for a week.
I'm feeling pretty confident that MY boys in blue will not let me down. But I'm also a Red Sox fan, so I'm totally used to getting my hopes up, only to have them crushed.

Game on Mr. Lewis. Can't wait to see you in BLUE!
