Having that as a post title might be the most shameless way of getting you to read my blog that I've ever used. It worked though, you're here aren't you? Howdy! Welcome to Monday, February and a oh-crap-there's-no-more-football-for-seven-months-hangover, folks!
Yesterday, just like most of you, we hit up a Super Bowl party at a friend's house. CB's friend, who hosted the party also has a pup and a big back yard, so Veenie was invited to come Super Bowl with everyone. Gee was not invited because last time we visited this particular back yard, he escaped through a very small hole in the fence, only to be found squirrel searching in a neighboring yard, several hours later.
Veenie put on her finest cheerleading outfit, and we headed off! And for those of you wondering, yes I still have my Christmas tree up. I have no excuse other than I'm just very lazy, and the tiny box that holds that large tree is very intimidating.
On the drive across town, Veenie insisted that we take some unnecessary selfies. She is such a blogger daughter.
We stopped to grab a quick bite of lunch. You might be
shocked to hear that I have lived in Dallas for two and a half years, yet have never been to this particular locale. Although I had never been, I was fully aware of the 4 photograph minimum that is required when you order
anything at all.
The curse of the NFC reared its ugly head yet again last night. I should have taken this curse into account when I placed a rather important bet on the Seahawks... and then of course lost said rather important bet.
I mean, think about it...
Detroit loses to Dallas on controversial (no)call.
Dallas pays for that no call in loss to Green Bay on absurd call (p.s. it was a catch).
Green Bay pays for blown catch call by losing in horrific, "man they totally blew it" fashion to Seattle.
Then the chain ends with Seattle blowing it in the last seconds of the game to Pats.
Ok but, you have someone on your team nicknamed Beast Mode.... Yeah, naw. It's cool, we have a great wide receiving core. I mean, heck, we got one of our wide receivers out of a foot locker at the beginning of the season. Yeah, naw. Forget the game plan that worked all season long. Let's just throw it directly into traffic instead. I simply cannot believe that didn't work out! Shucks!
One day. One day I'll root for someone who wins. It won't be today, it won't be tomorrow. But a girl can sure dream that one day the good lord will remove this horrific jinx that has been placed on her.
I'm sorry Seattle fans, this is all my fault. Don't blame Pete Carroll, don't blame Russell Wilson, don't blame that wide receiver who started the season controlling crowds on black Friday at Foot Locker.... blame me. I publicly endorsed your team, and for that I apologize.
While we are at it, let me get some other apologies off my chest. I apologize to the following football teams whose seasons I ruined by publicly cheering for them in select very important games... I'm very sorry Cowboys, Oregon Ducks, TCU, Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. I'm very sorry for your loss. RIP.
