I'm down, no.. I mean first down! yay!

First off I think an apology may be in order for those of you who have missed my comments gracing your blog pages. And for those that have emailed me but not heard a response... It's not as if I'm ignoring you, I just haven't exactly been well...

Sure I've surfed your pages a bit, even skimmed... but pain killers make the rationality of content and commenting about such extremely interesting and really it makes no sense. Furthermore I've been bitchy due to discomfort and I'm trying not to project it.

I'm a nice girl, really I am.

But I digress. Im working on getting better currently, and I think this weekend is exactly what I need to rest and enjoy the finer things in life so I can get back on track. So whilst kicked back on the couch with my drugs and water bottle... I'll have my pom poms with me. And most likely the Tivo remote for pause and play back.... because:

Are you ready for some football?!?!?

Yes this weekend brings on the game that my husband and I wait for all season.
Our states collegiate teams face off in a bitter rivalry that gets the whole damn state in a grumble. From the nightly newscasters throwing punches at each others colleges, and wearing their prospective colors or team gear during broadcasts... to the buildings in the city adorning either schools colors and banners of support. The whole state goes toe to toe on this, and always has since the beginning of time.

Its not uncommon to pass by some one on the street and have them say "Are you a ______ or a _______ fan?"
Then of course once you answer, this initiates a joke. Such as :

"What's the difference between a (insert college team here) and a dollar?"
"You can get four quarters out of a dollar."
-or-
"Whaddya get when you cross a (insert college team here) with a ground hog?"
"Six more weeks of bad football."

Then adding insult to injury, there's also the sheep and tractor jokes, and the city collegiate snot jokes too. Being that one team is rural and one is city... I love this time of year for local football. I do, really.

My husband is dear and die hard for one team (city), while I am the same for the other(rural)... I love those off season John Deere tractor driving, corn fed country boys. sigh.

But I digress again. As you can probably guess, the house turns into a bitter battle zone for about a week before the game. Jokes, jibes, chides, and antics... we make lucivious bets about which team will win and the norm is for the loser to suffer a terrible embarrassing fate at the hand of the other.

Last year my team won... I loved it.
This year, my team is gonna win again... and I'll love it all over again.

Kick off is 12:15... I should have husband in bra and panties by 5 at least if all goes well. If not, I have a feeling that there's gonna be some pretty downright embarrasing pictures of me in purple and gold saran wrap. K. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh.

As well, San Fran and the Hawks play this weekend... another great game since I'm convinced Seattle is gonna take the Western Division title this year. I've got money on it.

On an end note, I think that I should share this t-shirt with ya, because if anything... it will make you smile... and well, I believe that if I don't make at least one sexual innuendo in a post y'all think I've converted to catholisism and become celibate.

I mean, really... just yesterday I posted that fishing was #1 of my favorite things to do and y'all freaked out! LOL. See, that will all change like the tides.. you should know that. I'm a man trapped in a woman's body... it's the price I pay.
*shrug*
This t-shirt also provides an important message for those of you that have been told no by a woman. Really, this is the point we wanted to get across... you guys just didn't understand it.

GO _________'s !
