Crime Doesn't Pay

It was pure coincidence the Minnesota and Wisconsin State Patrols posted this photo this morning prior to Vikings-Packers Border Battle this afternoon. But it was so appropriate, too.

While I was off at church dressed in my Game Day finest, our house was being vandalized!

Yup, as I rounded the curve into our neighborhood, I immediately noticed Mr. Skol Man had a scowl on his face and disgusting headgear. Who would do such a thing in our quiet little suburban neighborhood?!

Actually, plenty of people. But I had the suspects narrowed down to one or two. And before calling in the Border Battle CSI, I got it right the first guess. 

And while I pretended to take a bite out of the cheesehead, these lips did not touch it. And being the nice neighbor that I am, I returned it intact to Mr. M. across the street – and didn't even press charges. No worries, Mike, we'll take the W instead!

I tell ya, crime doesn't pay!

We did have a fun (but nerve-wracking time) watching the game at in a purple-friendly atmosphere at our friends' Sean and Michelle's place. A few Packer fans there, too, but purple prevailed in more ways than one. 

Again, always so stinkin' close when these two teams play. I'm not going to lie that selfishly we really enjoyed it. Especially seeing our team have their first 9-game winning streak since 1975. (Yep, hubby recalls how we lost and ended that streak.) And to see our QB reach a milestone with his 14 wins during his first season with the Vikes.

Now it's onto the Lions next week. Weird to think it felt like a playoff game today when the Packers, Vikings AND Lions are already playing in the REAL ones. Thankfully we have a week to recover. And get our heartbeats back to normal! Should be a fun post-season!
