A Lazy Sunday Morning

Sugar and Tony look cozy in their pj's and ready for a day of watching football!!!

Joey B's on the Hill

Since St. Louis seems to think that someone is actually watching the Rams, we can never get the Saints cames here.  Instead, we usually make a trip to Joey B's on the Hill where the dining area has roughly 10 plasma tv's.  It's football overload!  They always switch a tv to the Saints for us (thank you!) and we enjoy some of their yummy food while we watch the games.  Their pizza was recently featured on Rachel Ray's show featuring the best pizzas in America.  It's very yummy!

Sugar Likes to Nap!

This is his absolute favorite spot to nap!  It's in the window seat of our master bedroom on the third floor.  Unfortunately, it seems to be getting too cold for that because he's not sleeping there as much.

A view from the window that he's sleeping in.  You can see the gorgeous church in the background!

Sugar says Hi!

Silly Sugar.  This is one of his favorite places in  the house.  Don't ask me why, but he loves the half-bath downstairs.

He seems to like bathrooms in general!  He likes to sleep on the towels if they are left on the floor.

Pappy's

So, the BBQ place to go to in St. Louis is called Pappy's.  It's only two or three blocks from campus, so we've tried to go a few times.  The problem?  The line is usually the length of the entire restaurant and still continues out through the door and around the building!  We finally decided to go early on a Saturday morning so that we wouldn't have to wait in line for 45+ minutes.  Even still, the wait was around 20 - 25 minutes.  Good thing that the food delivers!  It really is some absolutely delicious BBQ!

It's hard to see from the picture, but there is a sign hanging from the menu that states "Cubs fans pay double."  This was the weekend that the Cubs were in town, so the place was packed with Chicago fans!

Their BBQ awards.  Notice that they are huge butcher knives on the trophies!

9-11 Tribute

On 9/11, SLU placed an American flag on the parade grounds here for each victim.  It was a beautiful, but very sad sight to see all day!

First LSU Game!!!

Well, it's certainly been a while, but I definitely wanted to get these posted.  Each week, there's an official LSU viewing party hosted by the alumni association at a "Louisiana-style" restaurant.  We had a great time, the food was okay, but the restaurant does have a live band which was annoying!  You couldn't hear the tv over the band.  I did run into one of the old student workers who used to work in recruiting at LSU.  How odd!  Geaux Tigers!!!
