Football, Friends, Wings & Biscuits: Couchgating Done Right

November 18, 2016 by Lisa Leave a Comment

Football Sundays are big in our home and we often have friends over to watch football. When Wayfair provided the opportunity to create a “Couchgating Done Right” Idea Board, I jumped at the chance!

Couchgating: same as tailgating except the party is conducted on a sofa in front of a television with a football game playing.

couchgating-done-right

Seriously? I had no idea it had a name. I’ve never been to a football game and the thought of tailgating doesn’t appeal to me. If I must be subjected to football, then let it be in the comfort of my own home.

We love entertaining on Football Sundays. And unlike holiday/special occasion entertaining – couchgating is casual.

While I don’t enjoy watching football, I do enjoy the company, camaraderie and competition. Joseph is a Giants fan, our friend Jenn cheers for the Browns and Julio roots for the 49ers. The smack talk gets pretty serious.

Wayfair has a huge selection to meet the desires of your favorite NFL fan! Joseph and I had fun creating Couchgating Done Right idea board.

We live in an apartment but I know if we had a house, Joseph’s man cave would be decked out in Giants furniture and decor.

His favorite items are the NY Giants Video Game Chair (obviously) and the NFL 9 Piece Gift Bucket Set.

My favorite item is the Melamine Chip and Dip Platter.

On Football Sundays Joseph is famous for his chicken wings and I’m known for my biscuits. And the Melamine Chip and Dip platter was perfect for our favorite football snacks.

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.
I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first g I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first game but I surprised him. When he saw me he said, “Mama! What the hell are you doing here?” But he was totally happy to see me. Grateful @d3sportsandrec exists! 💙
After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” w After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
