Merry Christmas!!

To say that Seth loves BYU football is a major understatement. He has been talking about how excited he is for "Christmas" for the past couple of weeks, and by Christmas he meant today, August 30th, the first BYU football game of the season.

Last night we were continuing to install our new floor (which by the way has not been fun and will get a post all by itself) and he was said, "This is no way to spend Christmas Eve."

Lucky for Seth, he has an All-Sports pass so he'll be able to go to every home game. I think Seth would be happy if he was homeless as long as he had BYU football.

Seth is at the game right now and I bet he has had a smile on his face the entire game. I've also made a committment to try to show more interest in football this year. I really just don't get it and think it takes too long, and it's just confusing. But, Seth has promised to help more around the house and he earns 20 minute increments of me watching football with him. He can watch all the football he wants by himself, but he said he would do stuff for me to earn me watching with him. I don't know why he wants me to like it so much, but he does.I think he's already earned a full game because of the time it's taken to install our d*** floor. I even watched about 30 minutes of the game on my own today. It wasn't too bad, I kinda knew what was happening.

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!

Nostalgic

Is it weird that last night at the grocery store that I got nostalgic for elementary school as I walked down the school supplies isle? I was shopping for cleaning supplies that we have been seriously out of and our place is seriously dirty, and I wished I was buying a brand new 64 crayon Crayola box and picking out notebooks and mechanical pencils. The beginning of a new school year was always so exciting and so fun. I still remember getting so excited to wear my brand new, just pulled out of the box, Dr. Marten shoes and thinking I was looking so fly.

I guess getting new pens and post-its from the supply closet is kinda like getting new school supplies. But not really.

Dear Universe,

Do you hate me today? Because nothing, and I mean nothing, is going right at work today. I don't mean just not going right, but turning into COMPLETE DISASTERS! D.I.S.A.S.T.E.R.S. Please throw me a bone, I'm dying here.

p.s. Usually on days like this I call up Seth on my way home from work and ask him to meet me at Cafe Rio. Barbacoa Pork somehow always lifts my spirits.
