400 Level Class

A girl I visit teach asked me why Caleb and I attend basketball games (but she intonated all sports in general). My immediate response was "It's because we like competition," but I think it's a lot more than that. The conversation turned away from sports, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about her question. Caleb and I love to attend any sporting event; we have fun rooting for the home team and celebrating great plays on either side. There's something about feeding off the energy of the crowd and being able to turn to the strangers around you and high five and scream together. Also, there's always the potential to rush the field after a big win. All of these things are impossible when you're sitting on your bum at home, watching the game on TV. Besides, after all this proof, I just don't understand why one would begrudge someone else going to see a sport that they like. It's all just silly.


I haven't been feeling great the last 3 or 4 days. And, granted, I haven't been feeling 100% for awhile, but these past few days have made me really sick of being sick. Unfortunately, my specialist appointment was moved from today to Thursday, so I have to wait an extra two days to find out why my ear and head has been going crazy for so long. Until then, I'll just keep downing the meds and feeling guilty about Caleb waiting on me hand and foot. He is super, extra nice.

I'm so excited now that American Idol has started. It gives me something silly and awesome to look forward to and another television show to be obsessed with. I can't wait until the auditions are over so we can get to Hollywood week; for some reason, that is one of my favorite parts of the show. Yaaaaay TV.

I Punched My Husband in my Sleep

I'm kinda feeling like <----- this at the moment. Not like, falling down on the floor wretched, but just kind of down. This could be for a lot of reasons - the vacation being over, the never ending snow, feeling like a totally different (and sometimes worse) person than I was a year ago. A lot of that has to do with not necessarily working on the outside as much I was focusing on the inside this year. I worked on my spirituality, my caring of other people and being a better person. Doing that, I let go of the outside. Now, I'm sort of resolving to do better on that. If I make it a resolution for the new year, however, I might not make it; therefore, I'm only SORT of resolving. That's how I like it.

In order to do all that, I'm smoothing out my face, I'm getting a great haircut, doing other things that might help me out on the outside. But, I can't see the end result.

That's What She Said

Today started out kinda rough; I guess I don't know what to do with myself anymore when I don't have to work. I used to be so good at it, so what went wrong? Anyway, started out rough. Yes. But, I'm feeling better about life because I'm about to watch the Christmas episode of "The Office."

Yes, sitcoms fix everything in life.

I am hoping for a lot of Pam/Jim love in this episode, but I wouldn't mind seeing a full-out Toby episode. All Toby, all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if no one shared my opinion, but I can't help but root for the underdog and pine for the Human Resources rep. Yum.

If this episode lets me down, I will scream loudly and wait all of those weeks for the new one. It's too bad I'm so devoted that I can't boycott.
