Brett Favre

A legacy has come to an end. Brett Favre announced this week that he will retire from the Green Bay Packers. I am sure that I just lost about 80% of you, but that is okay. This news really wasn't too much of a surprise to me. I actually thought it would probably happen this year. The news still is a little hard to take. Brett has led the Packers for most of my memory. I only can remember two of the Packers quarterbacks. Don Majkowski and Brett Favre. Majkowski was not the best quarterback and mainly I remember yelling at the TV in anguish at him. Favre, on the other hand, is unforgettable. I remember being in college and the Packers actually winning the Superbowl and being led by Brett. It was awesome. He holds most of the records for quarterbacks in the NFL. I think I was most impressed with the consecutive starts record. That man didn't even miss a game the day after his father died. Packer fans everywhere are going to miss our Brett Favre so much! Okay, enough with the sports tribute. The weeks is almost over. I am glad it is Friday tomorrow. It is the last day of me being 30. I totally should think of something that I have to do before I am 31. Tomorrow is a half day at school. We will get free lunch before we have to grade an essay test. At least there is free food! :) I think that is all I have today. It is still not spring yet. Why not?

P.S. I know it is one day early, but I was so excited that it was 12:01 that I decided to pretend it was the right day! Don't you just love me:))
