Thank goodness, it’s the WEEKEND! I can sleep. I can be lazy. I don’t have to think about work!

And my regular reads include: Jen, Steph, Chelle, Meesh…

I think it’s time for me to work on my story. So off I go!

Football…

My friend sent me a funny football email. He’s way into the sport, it’s cute. Then my cousin sent me the following forward:

A teacher starts a new job at a school in San Francisco and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she’s a 49ER fan. She asks the class to raise their hands if they too are 49ER fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The Teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: “Mary, why didn’t you raise your hand?”

“Because I’m not a 49ER fan,” she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked: “Well, if you’re not a 49ER fan, then who do you support?”

“I’m a Bronco fan, and proud of it,” Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears.

“Mary, why are you a Bronco fan, when you live in San Francisco?”

“Because my mom and dad are from Denver and my mom is a Bronco fan and my dad is a Bronco fan, so I’m a Bronco fan, too!”

“Well,” said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, “that’s no reason for you to be a Bronco fan. You don’t have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and a car thief, what would you be then?”

Mary said, “A Raiders fan.”

Now, no disrepect to Raiders fans, but I thought that was HILARIOUS! Terrible, I know. 😉

I had the CRAPPIEST day at work today. Shoot them all, I say! If I had the time to burn, I would have turned around and told them I was taking a personal day. What I walked into was utterly UNACCEPTABLE. I finish my job day in and day out. I only ask one very important thing of the midnight shift: ONE PILE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER! How hard is that? It’s a bunch of CRAP!!!

Alas, a loss! And a Hudson one at that. 🙁

Oooh, Jen’s got pictures from Saturday’s card show. Her Hudson ones came out very nicely. 😉 Thanks to Val for the comment. I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t really understand the whole football thing. 😛

What is it with football?

So it’s almost football season and I’m chatting with my friend who’s just like the hubby and loses himself to the game when the season rolls around. So I ask, what is it about men and football?

Anyhoo, now I get to update one of my other pages. 😉 I’ll leave you to guess which one. (No one will know, I’m sure, unless I mention it here…)
