So I guess Saturday wasn't the last home game. How bout that, I had no idea. Given the fact I always watch the Colorado game at a bar on the beach in Mexico sipping Coronas makes me think of it as a permanent away game. So no need for sulking yet, there is a still another sloppy Lincoln game in the future. Not for me though. But as I was watching the game on Saturday from the comfort of my parents couch with a glass of Chardonnay in one hand and a chocolate chip cookie in the other I wasn't exactly upset I wasn't there. Everybody looked miserable chilly. No thank you. And Chris told me the Rail even ran out of Hot Carls before he got there, so I definitely didn't miss anything. Rather than a dreary day in crowded Lincoln I had quite the afternoon in the glorious little town of Norfolky. Had I not known better I would have believed it to be black Friday at the Sunset Plaza. In fact, I would like to know if Sandy's even had a single customer in their bar on Saturday, because I'm quite sure all of their regulars were spending the day in Norfolk shopping at Target and JC Penny. Everybody was doing a little early Christmas shopping it appeared. Some new cowboy boots for dad at the western store, a new rifle for little Timmy from Nebraska Sports, a low cut Rampage shirt for slutty older sis from The Vanity, and a fancy light up Christmas sweater for mom at Schwesers. Every store was a cluster, including the middle booths full of Mountain Man nuts and dried fruits. But I didn't mind, nothing gets me more in the mood for Christmas than shopping at the Norfolk mall packed with every town resident within the fifty mile radius. It was a mad house of overalls and Sketcher shape ups every where you turned- two of the hottest fall fashions for Northeast Nebraska. I especially enjoyed the outfit I saw one trendy teen wearing consisting of red corduroy overalls over the top of a black Nebraska hoody, with faux Uggs on the bottom. Very Husker chic.

As I was out and about this weekend I noticed bell ringer season has begun. I always feel bad when I walk by these people and don't give money. But I rarely have cash, I really try to give when I have an extra dollar or two. I think they should consider having a debit card machine on hand, I would for sure donate much more. And thanks to Facebook, no good deed or donation has to go unmentioned these days. I mean what's the point of doing something nice for someone if nobody else notices how nice you are being, right? Exactly. That's why I love to see so many statuses lately of people telling the world how nice they are being by performing "anonymous" good deeds. I feel like such an idiot, I donated $1 to a bell ringer on Friday and completely forgot to put it on Facebook! Do you know how many "likes" I could have gotten for that? Somtimes I am so selfless it kills me. But really, I feel like posting good deeds on FB inspires others to do good deeds too, so then they can update their status, as well. It's all meant for the greater good. Just like how you can post what color of bra you are wearing and it's supposed to help breast cancer... I still don't understand that one though. Or really all of those posts for that matter. Perhaps I am being ignorant, but how will posting "Today is national testicular cancer day and so I am honoring all the fathers and brothers and grandfathers who I love by posting this, you should do the same," how will this help cure the disease? But if it does really work, I think someone should start one that says "today is national lose ten pounds day, post this if you want to lose ten pounds by next weeks vacation without having to do anything."
