I don't pretend to be who/what I'm not. I will be honest here unless I publish under the category "This could be news," which is 99% fiction and a wee bit sarcastic. ;-) I want readers who come here to have as much fun as I do. Not all subjects can be fun, but most can be funny if I do my job right ;-) My inner child is reflected in my logo and will change at a moment's notice.

Holy Heart Attack, Batman!

See Ya Next Week!

I am exhausted. I think I had 3 heart attacks during the last 5 minutes of that game. I don’t like my football so exciting – it makes me a nervous wreck. Especially as the leading score of the game changes teams three times after the 2 minute warning of the 4th quarter.  Totally insane. Totally Awesome!

I can’t begin to imagine how tired the 49ers are. They don’t know how tired yet, because they are not only in a post-win cloud, but a HUGE playoff game-win CLOUD.  Which they so deserve!  Celebrate your butts off tonight, guys! But it’s back to work on Monday. We really want to avoid what’s happening to Denver as I write this. Very sad. All the hoopla around Tebow, and then – it’s over.

Did you see the  tears?  The hugs? The ecstatic hopping and jumping?  It moved me.  Sniff….

Football is such an emotional experience.

Mysterious (and Evil) Numbers

~ JodiLea

428 is an evil number. It either means 4:28 AM, which is before the butt crack of dawn, or it could be my fasting blood sugar number.  This morning it was both.

Like a good diabetic, I injected the usual and a correctional dose of insulin. Problem taken care of? Not even close. At 8:00AM my number was 446. Four hours of zero caffeine and no breakfast, and it goes UP? Where is the damned sugar coming from? Usually extra glucose is produced by the liver when your blood sugar drops too low. 428 is NOT a low number. Maybe my liver is no good at math. Maybe it too, is evil.

All I know is that I should go to the doctor when it’s this high. But since I’m not supposed to drive when it’s this high, I can’t get there without bugging hubby or a girlfriend. Sooo… My plan is to stick my finger at 9:30 and see what the mystery number is. If higher – go to hospital. If lower, sigh relief and then do my errands and chores before the big game this afternoon. While I wait for 9:30, I’m going to drink a gallon of water because I am so thirsty I can’t think!

321. Lower – enough to get out of a hospital visit, but too high to drive. I bum a ride with a girlfriend to our ladies meeting and I’m packing saltines and 7Up in my purse to combat the nausea that happens when blood glucose levels change drastically.

I sure hope my 49ers are having a better morning  😉

Playoff Weekend is Here – Go Shopping!

NFL PLAYOFFS

Most women dread football season because 1) they don’t like football, and 2) their husbands/boyfriends do.

To them, I say Get over it already! Read a book, listen to your iPod, knit, prune your roses so they can go dormant over the winter months, walk the dog. Go shopping!

Football’s season is the shortest of all the popular sports. The Playoffs means there are only a couple more games left.  Playoffs weekend has games morning and evening Saturday and Sunday. Give your football fan the chance to enjoy themselves.  This means no whining or acting like a big baby while the game’s are on. Got that?

My hubby does not like shopping. So he behaves himself while I’m watching football. Sometimes he will even watch with me. I have a tendency to become violent  emotional, especially during the 49er’s games.  When I’m swearing at the referee’s, yelling at the other team, or screaming with joy, I tend to be a little loud. OK – really, REALLY  LOUD.

There is no “ladylike” in football…
