Wildcats win in my heart

Okay, so maybe I like a little basketball. I've pretty much been an NBA fan (Go Blazers!) most of my life. But most recently my husband has introduced me to college basketball. Mainly the University of Kentucky Wildcats. It all started last spring during March Madness. The words: basketball, Kentucky, Pick and Roll, Final Four, etc. were heard daily. Like, what, are they important? :)
Yes I've heard of college basketball and I am aware of March Madness, I've just never really gotten into it. Until I married my husband. This past week I've watched the Wildcats play twice. I caught myself getting very upset when then continued to tie when playing North Carolina. I was even yelling at the t.v. along with my husband. I was pretty mad when they lost. I was a lot happier when they won against Notre Dame. I know I like them because my husband does and I will support him. Not to mention they are really really good! But mostly I think it's
 because of their colors. Kentucky Blue and White. I must say I really do like their uniforms. I also like the cheerleaders uniforms too. They are so cute! Very stylish indeed! Of course how could I forget the Wildcat mascot. Yes, I will decide if I like a team based on their uniforms and mascot. What? I'm a girl, that's what we do.

Thanksgiving = Football??!!

Yup. That's right. There we were driving the long 4 hour drive back 'home' to our family, when I said "The best thing about Thanksgiving is the food".
Apparently I was wrong, but my husband corrected me and said "The best thing about Thanksgiving is football". What!!?? Why must sports control my life!! Really? On a day you're kind of supposed to spend with your family enjoying a meal, telling stories, and catching up...
Origin of football on Thanksgiving....
Wife: "Honey, can you help me make Thanksgiving dinner?"
Husband: "No wait, lets turn on the t.v and have no conversation and watch football! Such a grand idea! Who wants to spend time with my family anyway and I'll get out of helping cook, this will help pass the time until I pass out from overeating!!" ( I really hope you guys don't really think like that and I'm sure you don't, this is just an example!).
So we watched football, ate our Thanksgiving meal, and watched more... football!!
Of course I love spending time with my family. Thanksgiving was very enjoyable. Even though we did watch football. I guess it's like a tradition to have an NFL game on Thanksgiving between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. Don't worry there were 2 other games as well!!
So it actually wasn't that bad. But I'd still opt for no football. I mean, this football on Thanksgiving thing is pretty time consuming and brutal on the people (Moms and Wives mainly) who are making this huge meal.
I foresee this being my future Thanksgiving day planner:
Get up.
Prepare food.
Football.
Eat food.
Football.
Clean up during half-time. 
Football.
Football.
Fall asleep from overeating.  

So in love with Troy Polamalu's hair

Yup, its true. I'll admit I love his amazingly huge hair. Right now we're watching the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football and guess who's playing? That's right, Troy's hair. Well, Troy is there too, obviously.

I crack up every time I see the Head and Shoulders commercial with him. Seriously. I don't know why exactly, but I think it's super hilarious. Looks like he and the company both have a sense of humor. Plus, his hair is so full of volume and I don't think I've ever seen any dandruff on him! It really is a great product and a football player with enormous hair endorsing it makes me smile. I'm glad he's taking care of it since Head and Shoulders has insured his hair for $1 Million dollars! Yup, you heard that right!
By the way, I think the advertising worked because I do have a bottle of Head and Shoulders in the shower!
To see Troy and his Titanic sized hair, check out Troyshair.com. Also YouTube.com for the commercial.

Baseball Season's almost over... Part 2

Ding dong the witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch! Ding dong Baseball season's over!!!
As this year's season ends, I figured I would compile some of my favorite characters that have played a starring role.

First off, it's Brian Wilson. Okay, just for a moment take a look at that beard. 
I'm pretty convinced that he is a direct descended of BigFoot. Creepy.
It looks like a couple fuzzy caterpillars found their home for the winter.
Also, is it dyed? Is he using Just for Men Baseball Edition Black.
I'm just saying that he looks pretty shady with this beard.
I would not endorse this as 'stylish'. 

So....these guys.
They do make me laugh.
Good job fellas.

These players have names that got my attention. And make me laugh:
Milton Bradley and Coco Crisp (whom I often call Coco Crispy)
Really? Is this by coincidence or were your parents just huge fans of board games and cereal.

 So...I'm still not sure what this is. A futuristic animal? Mostly I'm wondering if I should  be concerned that it appears to be multiplying.

 That's it for now. I'm excited to see what next years baseball season brings.
I'm kidding of course.

Baseball Season's almost over... Part 1

Wow. I know my husband's obsessed with baseball (and fantasy baseball) when he asked the question "Baseball is almost over, what I'm I gonna do now?"   Hmmm..... what are you gonna do now?!  Now you know I love my husband, but how many hours a day can a person spend on fantasy baseball, watching it on t.v. or setting up your line up for the next days games. Yes baseball season is almost over (thank goodness!). I mean "oh that's just too bad"  :)
But really, baseball season had a good run, like 7ish months! Isn't that a little too much? I mean really, it's only baseball. I can only sit and watch nothing happen for so long. I think I was a pretty good sport with this being my first experience with baseball season. At least I think I was. Especially with that game that lasted 15 innings (at the very end of last baseball season). I thought I was going to keel over from boredom.
 There are a few other things that I would rather do than watch a baseball game:
-Swim with sharks.
-Make some bees' mad.
-Befriend a rabid raccoon.
-Get rabies.
-Chew ABC gum.
-Watch a Harry Potter movie.
-Brush a bum's teeth for him.
-Maybe even give that bum a bath.
You get the idea... :)
But don't fret, we have football and basketball now! They can be enjoyable. As long as the Trail Blazers stop hurting themselves and the Seahawks start winning big. Oh, and Brett Favre stops throwing interceptions.
