Official Start of THE Season..
Okay...hope this new look for our blog ain't too gay. It took me a while to figure it out but got it finally.
Football is WONDERFUL. Our fantasy league is WONDERFUL. Being able to check if my team is winning on the computer, and watching football on TV is WONDERFUL...but it didn't come easy. Just like in the first game of the season when teams have a gameplan to win, I had to figure out how I was going to eventually get the chance to kick back, relax, and watch some football (without getting the stare down, or the feeling of guilt from the wifey). Keep in mind that I couldn't do any house chores yesterday because of the cross country meet and the night out with Tash. So my gameplan was to do all the chores and schoolwork way before even mentioning the word "football." Then, maybe she'll just say, "Okay, you deserve a break," or "Beb, don't you have your football thing today?" or "Beb, thank you so much for doing all the chores, but I think you should watch football for the rest of the day, okay?" So, first thing on the to-do list was grocery shopping in the morning for her so she can cook dinner. Then, do the chores...vacuum, windows, laundry, ceiling fan, rearrange furniture...and that's when it hit me. My wife, who of course is like GT in Marriage 101, has probably figured out by now that I am waaaaay too willing to do anything and everything for her today all because of football. So there she is, figuring out different things for me to do just to prolong the inevitable. A bit of trickery, but it was part of the gameplan so what could I do? Just like how football teams keep running it up the middle against a stacked line, there I was, doing what I had to do to open up for the "big play" later.

Then..it got worse. Amy, in retaliation of my "Netflix- hogging," decided to rent "Meet the Browns." It came in yesterday, but I was hoping (and praying) that she wouldn't want to watch it yet. But, of course, even after doing the chores, there we were watching it...instead of football. It's a good thing Lance kept me updated through text, otherwise, I would have gone mento. Amy watched the movie (which she claimed later on, "sucks") while I planned for the week. Then, after that grueling movie was over...she gave in. Thank GOD!

Anyway, the football season may have begun (YAY!!!)...but the "kiss-my-wife's ass more" season has begun, too (BOO!). We'll call today a tie..but next week, I'm going for the "big play" early and often...(that's what she said..hurr, hurr, hurr).
