Anything But Gray

Zak is upstairs reading to Thing 1 and Thing 2 and now is the only chance I'll get to sit down to blog. 🙂

It was a good weekend.
Gabby spent both Friday and Saturday and that was cool. I love when the girls have sleepovers.

And as I anticipated…Friday was not a mellow night.
It was fun, mind you…very fun, indeed….but not what one would call "mellow".
I am actually adjusting a bit to the 2-2:30am Friday night bedtime and I still managed to get up at a decent time on Saturday. I needed a nap later, but I was functional all day. yay! On the ride home on Friday I had wanted to give Alaska Kim a call but it gets real easy to speed when you are talking on the phone and on Friday nights, the cops are just itching to pull you over on the back roads that I take home. So you really have to pay attention to your driving so you don't go 45 in a 40 mph zone. <rolling eyes> Because they will pull you over for that on a Friday night. And at 2am, I don't want to deal with the hassle of getting pulled over. ya know? For some reason it takes them like 20 friggin' minutes to run your information and, depending on the situation, write you a ticket and send you on your way. And I don't particularly feel like sitting on the side of the stupid road at 2am…..so, needless to say, I did not call Kim.

But on Saturday morning, she called me! Yay!! So we got to talk for a bit and that was, as always, nice. 🙂

Saturday I got a bunch of stuff done around the house and tried to fix my paypal stuff for my website.
That was unsuccessful but I think I'll get it fixed Monday. I got a bunch of needed to get done stuff, done, around the house and that's always a good feeling. I went shopping with my sister and my mommy and then Shelly came over at around 8ish. We hung out and talked and then we went over to my sister's to see if she had any soda cause Shell wanted a soda and we didn't have any at my house.  We wound up hanging out over at my sister's for awhile with my sister, Rick, my mom and Zak came by for a few minutes. That was really fun and my mom was actually very nice to Shelly. My mom does not like nor has she ever liked Shelly. It's a long story and it has frustrated me for years. Like everyone on the planet, Shelly has made mistakes in her life…well, my mom being my mom has hung on to those mistakes for close to 20 years and won't accept the fact that people grow up and change and can actually be forgiven <gasp> for the mistakes of their youth. But my mom, over the years, has gotten to where she will be civil to Shelly. And Saturday, she was actually beyond civil, she was downright nice. So that was a cool feeling.

And today was football and we WON. Whoo-hooo!!
Could've lived without Matt Light punching someone in the head and getting ejected from the game….(the other guy got ejected too….) but we won!!
Awesome!!!!
We so needed to beat Miami after the humilating loss we suffered at their hands in the beginning of the season.

And tonight is more football and I'm truly torn.
I loathe the Chargers. Mostly it's just LT. I actually dig Philip Rivers. But I cannot STAND LT.  and a couple of the other guys on the team.
But the Colts.
I always want them to lose because they are rivals of my team. But I don't hate them the way I hate the Chargers and the Giants.
I have no idea which team I want to lose more.
Probably the Colts…..
Or maybe the Chargers.
See??
Totally torn.
Have no freakin' clue who the hell to root for or against.

I'll just drink my beer, yell at my t.v. and hope for a good football game.

Ooooh!!
I figured something out today.
I was on the phone with Zak and I was finding the station for football so I could put it on pause until Zak made it home. I found the channel and before I could press pause, the "football" music played a little. I did my little I'm so stinkin'' happy I could jump up and down giggle and Zak laughed at me and says "You are so funny…"
In that second, a thought crossed my mind and I said to him…
"That's it. I know what I want at my funeral when I die."
Zak. "What's that, babe?"
Me: "As my ashes are coming into the service, I want football music played."
Zak: laughing says "Ahhh..no babe. You can't do that."
Me. "Oh come on…wouldn't that make people laugh? Wouldn't that totally crack everyone up?"
Zak: "yeah, I don't know babe…."
Me: "Nope, I think it's awesome and that's what I want, you have to promise me you'll do that."
Zak: blah, blah, blah…and he wouldn't say "I promise".

Whatever. He's no fun. 

We kind of left it at that, but I am telling everyone about it because I am so dead serious.
If I die, when I should say..it's not like I think I'm immortal…..that is so what I want!!
And there…now it is in writing.
Would a blog entry hold up in court, you think?
hmmm….
