Are you single and ready to mingle

well according to Miss Oprah Winfrey, "San Jose is top spot for women over 35 to find a man" !

You don't believe me?
Well here's the article. Everyone can make fun of San Jose all they want but its a cool place. Thats how I met Neil! IN SAN JOSE!!

Single men of the South Bay, you have an unlikely new best friend.

Say hello to Oprah!

Her TV show on Friday featured a new survey ranking the best U.S. cities for women over 35 to find a guy. San Jose came in No. 1, beating out those other well-known romantic hot spots Salt Lake City and Arlington, Texas.

So iron your best pair of khakis, gentlemen! Because if Oprah's Midas-like effect on pretty much anything she mentions holds true, there soon will be a stampede westward that rivals 1849. Only this time, there will be waves of single women instead of bearded men carrying pickaxes.

The research, by Men's Health magazine and presented on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" by the magazine's editor, Dave Zinczenko, looked at U.S. Census and other research data in six categories: ratio of single men to single women, fitness, philanthropy, divorce rates, education and the "thrill factor" - high-energy activities like kayaking and biking.

San Jose ranked first in singles ratio, fitness and thrill factor. (Interestingly, the magazine did not rank housing costs, length of work week, or traffic congestion.)

The city didn't do as well in philanthropy (No. 79) or education (No. 19). So even though there may be a lot of single guys here, they're not quite as bright as, say, Seattleites (No. 1 in education), or all that generous (New York was tops in giving). The survey detracted points from cities with high populations

THE HAWAII WARRIORS SUCK and I HATE THE TEAM, THE COACH and THE FANS!!

Image
Talk about lucky sons of bitches, if you didn't get a chance to see the Spartan's nearly dominate the Hawaii Rainbow pansies, then you missed one heck of a game. ( picture slideshow courtesy of the SJ Mercury News ) The game began at 5pm and the weather was crap... rain was pouring and the fans were a few... that was until the sun came out and the fans began arriving, reaching to 20,000+ packing the Spartan stadium. ESPN packed the house in the press-box, scouts were hovering around the media stations, trying to find a good seat and stadium workers ran around the stands wiping down seats so people's rears could remain dry. The Hawaii Rainbow Pansies were the talk of football and everyone was expecting SJSU to lose and to lose big. The spread for the game had Hawaii favored by 20+ points. Since this was the only Division 1 football game to be aired on Friday night, everyone on ESPN was ranting about hawaii and their lame ass QB Brennan. Football Analysts were sure that San...

thug night...pack up your eggs baby!

Image
I updated this story.. so if you read it. Reread it. I missed some very important points. ******************************************************************************** What seemed like a normal Tuesday night .. turned out to be quite interesting. First off, I got home lastnight from work before Neil. I was working from home when Neil got home and said let's take the dogs for a walk and grab coffe and go to the grocery store.. Good Ole Zanatto's. We got the dogs dressed and heade d out. After grabbing coffee and groceries, we start heading back home. The walk home is about 3 blocks but we pass many bars and many thugs on our route home. lastnights thug count was out of control. We were walking towards blockbuster/farenheight on San Fernando when we walk past a group of teenagers... about 10 of them. They seemed nice... One of the boys calls Rocco over. Keep in mind i have 2 dogs on leashes with one hand and I'm juggling 2 coffees in my other hand while Neil is lugging 2 ...

Football Widow 2010

Its Football Friday at the Parry House again. For those that don't know, my hubbie is the defensive coordinator for the Sobrato High School Football Team. They are so far 2-1 (Ugh that loss still hurts) and they are ready to play again tonight against Independence High school in San Jose. Here's their entire upcoming schedule The game should be good and if the boys come out to play, they should get the BIG W! Let's go BullDogs! A common terminology used by woman married to men that coach football is that during football season you are a football widow. It is NO JOKE. I thought that football was time consuming when Neil played back at SJSU but NOW, its CRAZY!! Coaching is a very time consuming job, especially if you are super into it like my husband is. Practice M-F afternoon/evening, games friday nights and football planning half the day on a SUNDAY!! With 2 boys at home with me, its super hard because Neil is so tied up with football!! I love love love football season ...
