Bradford slides to 69th in the nation
The Bradford football team’s dominance in Southeast Conference play has helped it maintain its standing atop the state rankings. However, the Red Devils’ 44 points allowed in Friday’s 69-44 victory over Muskego, was enough to see a slip in the national rankings.
On Monday, the Red Devils (6-0) maintained the top spot in the Associated Press State poll (large division), but slid to 69th in the RivalsHigh 100 national poll. Bradford entered the Muskego game ranked 60th in the nation.

My Status? Funny You Should Ask...
Okay anyone who knows me is aware that I have a major Facebook addiction. I'm on Facebook before work, on break, after work, various times during the day...oh heck, I'm on it ALL THE TIME! Here are a few of my all time favorite statuses that I have used over the years. Some funny, some with underlying meaning...they are just words and quotes that I adore or sparked some feedback from friends that made me laugh.
*~is currently in the process of getting her groove back. Please standby!
*~loves her Crazy/Random/Demented/Socially Challenged friends :)
*~I think my sister misses her twin boys...she's comparing pretzels to find twins.
*~is having a life moment where I want to pause and yell "SERIOUSLY?!"
*~is looking 4 the "Bite Me" button...
*~ hit a parked car while texting today. What's even sadder was that I was WALKING.
*~wants to stomp her feet, throw herself to the ground and start yelling "I don't wanna go back to work." Ahhh yes the power of a good hissy fit...
*~Sorry, I can't go to hell...restraining order.
*~I consider it a good sign that some people don't like me, that means that I am strong and secure enough about myself not to waver my beliefs for someone else.
*~learned something new today, my husband has an opinion...who woulda thought? After 22 years all of a sudden he decides that his opinion matters? Sheesh...pray for him. :D
*~ is disenchanted with this being an adult thing. Had to leave the party to come home and be a parent. Sheesh!
*~ darn ice cream truck and your hyptmotizing music!
*~has the best hubby in the world! (shhh don't disturb him right now with applause or anything...he's scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom floors at the moment)
*~to err is to be human, to really screw up takes talent, and to blame it on someone else shows Management potential!

*~has bleacher butt
*~just loves the fact that she's married to the Creature from the black Lagoon.
*~welcome to hell...I'll be your tour guide today.

*~Hates those motion sensor air fresheners. Every time I go to sniff them they spray me. :)
*~just saw a shooting star...or a crashing plane. It was one of the two.
*~OK I am not one to brag..but I think I deserve a medal! I just rescued an ice cream bar that was trapped in the freezer!

*~ so happy dinner is finally ready...It sure does take a long time for jello shots to set huh?

Chocolate Toothpaste?
Even though I am a self admitted choco-holic this doesn't even sound remotely appealing to me. I don't remember seeing this on the market here in the U.S. but in 2005 Unilever Philippines marketed a limited edition chocolate flavored fluoride toothpaste. Closeup Flavalicious toothpaste in Choco Loco.
This one is more my speed...a chocolate laptop...two of my favorite addictions!
