Little of this & a little of that...

I swiped the below survey from my friends Amy & Maegan. I think this was a great time to do it since I've been kind of quiet lately!! :)

As for my new head shot... it's no secret that I am a "resident" of Second Life (SL). Well, that is a snapshot of my avatar.

Also, the theme that was up before my current my creation... However, I found this one & because you know how I love my pink... & it's just good theme to have this month.

One more thing before the survey... As my regular riders will know I participate in Fantasy Football. I am in 2 leagues... the 1st one I am the commish of & the other (church friends league) my hubby is the commish. In BOTH leagues last week, my match up was against my hubby. He came out to me a week ago & said "You better get our A game on." Now, I was dreading the weekend all week... However, Sunday night rolls around & I hear this coming from the computer room (my hubby talking) ... "She did what? No, she didn't?"

He gets off the phone & I asked, "Let me guess, I'm beating you?" Yep! ... The short of this long story is that I ended up winning by 21 points in the church league AND by 7 points in my league!! So, yep, I'm tickled pink!!

Can you at least pick a winning team?? (Yeah, football talk!)

Yeah... that time of the year again! Time to talk some more football!

Not only am in TWO fantasy leagues where you have to pick players (& commish of one of them)... I also have a league (which I commish) in which you pick the winning team each game for each week.

Honestly, it's EXTREMELY easy!!!

Why am I trying to "sell" this?... because... I need at least TWO more players to sign up for the league... why? Because the top 3 winners at the end of the season gets trophies in their profiles... as long as I have at least 6 users signed up!!

So, if you'd like to give it a try... CLICK HERE...
Group id is: 27435
psswd: 2008pfp

The max amount of players we can have is 50!! I've also posted this in Yahoo Answers... however, I'd rather compete against my friends!!

If at least 2 of you sign up, I will hurry up & delete my Yahoo Answers question!!!!

So... HURRY UP & CLICK THAT LINK ABOVE & sign up!!! Please??

Calling all NFL fans...

I could really use some help from you all... as for who to pick in Fantasy Football (FFL).

Now mind you... I already know about the top picks... What I need help with is the Wide Receivers (WR) & the Tight Ends (TE).

Then I'm going to need help putting all my picks into order!! Who should I go for first, 2nd & so on!!

I am participating in my 1st ever LIVE (offline) draft. (No, Dudge, it's not the league I created... it's a different league!) ... If you all remember last year at this time (on 360) I did a blog about how some members of our church has a league set up. Well, this year they expanded it to 14 teams... & it seems I may get to be that 14th team!!! YIPEE!! (I say maybe, because 1 person has not replied yet... & if not, I have to be ready to jump in!!... I'm hoping they don't show! Because I'm all excited about this now!!!)

Even though I'm excited... and even though I participated in a couple leagues last year... I still don't know that much about football... well, not enough about WR & TE to make a decent decision...

I just know that I would like to have Hines Ward (if he isn't drafted before I get him!)

So... for you football fans out there... who are your top picks for WR & TE's.

Keep in mind... I will be the 12th pick 1st round... 3rd pick 2nd round... 12th pick 3rd round & so on. So... I probably won't get to pick players like LT or Tony Romo! (I'll just be thrilled if I can get a few of the Pittsburgh players I want! ... That will be tough... because my hubby & at least one other league member is big Pittsburgh fans!!)

So, any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!

(Next blog hopefully will be a video blog!!!)

Are you ready

Yep, it's that time of the year again... Football is under way! Pre-Season started last week & FFL (Fantasy Football Leagues) are in gearing up.

With that said... I am looking for JUST ONE MORE TEAM for my league! For those who are familiar with FFL... my league is with YAHOO & it is not hard at all! We will Auto Pick for draft & we will be going "Ready" in 2 weeks or less.

So, if you are a Football fanatic & would like to join me & 11 other teams in a fight for a virtual trophy (& bragging rights!)... please leave a message below... & I will send you the info needed. 1st one to reply will be in... However... if you see someone already grabbed that last spot... please still speak up... because no teams are "locked" yet. So, I may need a back up!

Oh, by the way... if you love football & have not ever done FFL, my league is easy enough to be able to make this your 1st year! (How easy... well, last year was my 1st year & I WON!!!... ... & I am NOT that knowledgeable in football. I know enough!!)

If you need help, I'm only a click away! :)

Thanks for your time & GO STEELERS!!!!!!!

Yahoo's Fantasy Football... 8-25-07 (entry #3)

I need SIX more teams so we can set auto draft date! I've set this up for beginners, but you do not have to a beginner! If you've never done the FFL thing & truly enjoy football... I'd highly suggest giving it a try!

If you are a beginner at FFL, what better way to try than with a 1st year league commissioner?!!

Just so you know, my hubby is helping me out with the settings & etc. He has his own team & I have mine! He will NOT be helping me with my team... I am doing this, so I can learn... In case our church league ever needs an extra team! (And so I can understand when my hubby is talks about it!!)

I have posted this in Yahoo Answers and I was given the suggestion to post it here. (I briefly mentioned it before, but figured I need to give this it's own blog, since I am stuck at 6. (I need 6 more!!)

The league name is: 4FFL Beginners
(but you don't HAVE to be a beginner.)
Id #: 512938
Password: 2007ffl

Please send me a message if you have any questions.
Unlike Yahoo's default settings, this will be EASY FAIR & COMPETITIVE!!

Only need 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, DEF to be playing. You'll be able to have 6 Benched players for bye weeks!

Scoring is much simpler & fair too!!


You can get started right here: Yahoo Fantasy Football...

Yes, it's free!!
Please email me if you have any other questions! I really want to get the draft set in the next couple days!!!

If you're already a part of a league, you CAN be in more than one.

So...
