More Thoughts on Fantasy Football

If there’s one thing I know about most of you (judging from my blog stats), it’s that almost none of you care about fantasy football whatsoever. Well you know what? TOO BAD!

Following the games each week to see how my picks are doing. Oddly enough, I’m having a good time–even though I’m not doing particularly well.

Toys

My cousin challenged bloggers to post their top 5 favorite toys, and so I’m going to try and do that. Of course, it seems like she was focusing on family toys, and I think I’ll list the ones of mine I like the most. The adult-kid toys. But since I’m incredibly indecisive, I’ll have to split them up into different categories. Oh–and these are just the things I’m playing with right now. Not in any way an “all time” list. And they’re not necessarily in order. Enough disclaimers? So here we go. Board Games 1–Settlers of Catan–I love this game,
