WHO DAT !

I mean…The Saints. UNREAL! I am still in shock from their win. I was born and raised in Cut Off, Louisiana, which is a very tiny town about an hour south of New Orleans. (YES you can go south of N.O.) Anyway, pretty much since I was a baby I was a Saints fan. That’s just what you do in Louisiana. You eat crawfish, you drink hurricanes, and you watch the Saints on Sunday afternoons. This season has been like a dream for us die hard fans. It had its ups and downs for sure. I wasn’t sure how far we would make it in the playoffs and for sure didn’t think it would end up like it did.
 
I knew January 24th would be a big day. I put on my #9 jersey and headed over to a friend’s house in Venice Beach with my girl Kelly. We actually cabbed it all the way from west Hollywood to Venice (it’s a trek and I DO NOT EVER drink and drive) with 3 bottles of champagne ready to celebrate our win. I had a good feeling…
 
We get to my friend’s house and what do I see? They have a freaking VIKINGS rug on the floor! What is this?! They were all Vikings fans. I couldn’t believe I walked into that mess. Some of the guys were wearing Vikings jerseys and they were all giving me crap! The beginning of the game was a mess for me. Minnesota touchdown, Saints, touchdown, again, again. AGH! I was dying. I kept calling my daddy back in Louisiana, who was watching the game on the house boat so that he could calm me down.
 
I’m sure everyone saw the game, so I won’t bore you with details you already know. Bottom line, I was standing for the last 30 minutes. Overtime! Aaaaand we win it by 3. I don’t care what anyone says. Vikings gave us that game, blah blah, turnovers, blah blah. We won. The SAINTS are going to the Superbowl and that is all that she wrote.
 
Matt Vengrin and I had a little bet going. He was going to take me to dinner anywhere I want if Saints won and I would have had to do his laundry (my least favorite household chore) if Minnesota won. I was actually so confident that I would win this bet that I told him I would do his laundry in booty shorts. Haha. I am happy to say, Matt, that you will be taking me to the most expensive place in LA :) And I cannot WAIT for Superbowl Sunday for the Saints to whip up on the Colts!
