Jane Eyre and Football

My hubby is gone on his annual all guy's camping trip until Saturday morning. I always try not to worry about him and those men...they are all so dear to me and I just get worried that when they get together and start acting like idiots something bad might happen. Oh well, they are grown men and I suppose I need to let them go! :)

AND because the Hubby is gone I get control of the TV remote!!!!

(I am doing a little happy dance just now)

I love my husband but sometimes it is nice to turn on Masterpiece Theater and watch "Jane Eyre" and flip to Thursday night football.

I am so excited for football to start! I am a huge fan of the sport and love spending my afternoons cheering for my favorites! I love waking up and choosing my outfit based on my team's colors and avoiding the colors of my opponents. I love watching the coaches for their scowls and their growls (lip reading is so fun)! I love watching the players work so hard and love what they do. It has got to be such a wonderful job; getting to play a game for a living. I love yelling at my TV and pretending that what I say and do really matters to the team. I LOVE IT!

Of course I have my favorites and I live and die for the Green Bay Packers! I still love and hope the best for Brett Favre (not the Vikings...just Favre). And I recently decided that I really enjoy watching the New Orleans Saints play. After visiting The Big Easy this past summer I feel like I have a connection to da Saints. So of course tonight is tough...watching my darling Brett play against my new loves the Saints...I just hope the best for both...but in the long run....WHO DAT! So until my wonderful Cheeseheads meet DA Saints, I will cheer for them both, and then have no trouble wearing my Packer jersey and bleeding green and yellow.
