The Big Day For San Francisco

No matter what happens at Candlestick Park this afternoon – I am so proud of  “my boys” I could bust! I am already dressed out for the game and it’s only 11:00 am. I had to get dressed anyway, right? My little pre-game ritual helps me get into Game Mode. This is important to help the Force. Trust me.

A co-worker of mine is a 49er fan, but she is not allowed to watch their games anymore. She unfortunately made this comment to her mate: “I shouldn’t have watched the game. They always lose when I watch”.  She has not watched a live game since she opened her mouth. Her mate gives her live re-caps during commercials, but it’s not the same. Her mate assures her that the sacrifice she makes  is really appreciated, as he sends her to her room.  I feel so bad for her! I will admit that I’m secretly glad she’s not watching today’s game.

Not everyone in my family is a 49er fan. I don’t know exactly who these people are , because they act like 49er fans when they are around me. They are wrong, but they’re not stupid.

My 18 month old granddaughter is a 49er fan. Granted, she squeals “niners!” when she sees any football game on TV, no matter who is playing, but she knows who she is rooting for and that’s the important thing.  Bonus: she doesn’t drink beer. Her favorite blankie, binky and 49er bear is all she needs. Also, taking over grandma’s comfy chair is fun. Sometimes she will let me sit with her. I have to bring the cookies. 😉

Diary of a Nicotine Addict: 8 months clean

Friday, January 20th

Dear Diary,

Today marks the 8th month I have not smoked.

Whoopee.

I’m not excited because I have fought with The Bitch on a daily basis. I have used all of  my addiction fighting tools the past 2 weeks and I am exhausted. I am also terrified – I feel The Bitch gaining on me.

I need to call in reinforcements…

Scare Tactics?
Phoenix Age 7
Tough Love?
Heavy Arillery
The National Guard?

I think ALL of these at the same time might work 😉

Holy Heart Attack, Batman!

Candlestick Park
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.
