College Football is Over!

Today is going to be a good day. We're already ten days into January and it's still 50 degrees outside. I woke up with a good attitude, took Harlow for an early morning walk, clocked 3000 steps on the old pedometer, going to hit that mile marker any day. And I even had time to fill both of Har's toys with peanut butter. He won't even get out of bed these days for less than 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, he's just a diva like that.

And best news of all, college football is officially over! Thank Tebow. OMT has it felt like it was the longest season ever or is it just me? I don't know if it was because we didn't have the best record, or if watching Pelini coach is just that embarrassing, or if my tabs at Kirkwoods just got to me, whatever it was this season felt everlasting. As everlasting as that game felt last night. Wanting to abide by the CGF (Cool Girlfriend Rules) I dutifully watched the game with Chris rather than watching the real battle of the night. The Bachelor. The game where the competitors don’t get penalties for going ape shit, where they fight claws first, slapping is encouraged, and they’re no helmets, no pads (only tampons.) By the time the game was over it was way past my bedtime and I knew I couldn’t possibly invest myself enough emotionally to get wrapped up with 15 crazy bitches for the next two hours.

Was a TD ever even scored last night? I felt like every time I glanced up from scrolling FB on my phone Alabama was scoring on kicks. Field goals, punts, penalty kicks, corner kicks, hitch kicks, they’re all the same to me. All I know is I found it ironic that it was the kicker who supposedly lost the game for Alabama vs LSU the first time around, and now this is where all the points were coming from. I proudly made this point to Chris feeling very good about my football insight, but of course he immediately disagreed. The degree to which boys talk about football will never to cease to amaze me. The heated arguments Chris and his dad get into regarding every single play in every single football game lead me to wonder if they truly believe their suggestions are being taken into consideration by someone in charge. Why else would they spend a greater part of their night discussing possible high school recruits and the affect they would have on the team? Is this normal? From my perspective, the only thing I think worth discussing about football is Erin Andrews, Oregon’s new uniforms, or Sandusky- which hello people? Why is no one discussing this perv anymore? We can’t just let him slip under the wire and forget about him like he’s just another Carter brother or Cheetah Girl. Forgive but never forget! No, I mean never forgive or forget about this creep. Just because football season is over we can’t stop bringing awareness about the Dusky files, child molesting season never ends. Stop the grossness.

Anyway, I’ll catch up with my Bach girls and Josh Groban tonight. Rumor is he cries… I’ll try not to judge until I watch, because maybe it could be for a really legit reason like Chris Harrison is exposed to not be gay.
