For some reason, I've very much been looking forward to watching the playoff games this weekend. I love football...I'm not a crazed fan of any one team (I love my Bears, but I always admit that they're dunces most of the time)...I just love the season and knowing on the weekend I can turn on a game and just watch. My mom loves football...and I grew up watching it with her. I'm not sure if she watched yesterday, but I was heartily disappointed and a little in awe about Green Bay's victory and, I have to admit, a little sad that New England is still undefeated. Will the Colts and Dallas win today? Time will tell...
For some reason I woke up at 6:30 this morning and could not fall back asleep. Whenver I'm up way too early on a weekend morning, I get a bit disoriented for the rest of the day. Like, this morning in the shower I decided to squeeze shampoo onto the washcloth instead of actualy soap. That was interesting. Then soon after, in the course of getting dressed, when I went to put mositurizing lotion on my arms I, instead, slathered liquid hand soap (albeit awesome warm sugar vanilla soap from Bath and Body Works...love that stuff, when used for its intended purpose, that is) all over me. *Sigh*
Friday night I ended up going to my sister's house for dinner. We're eight years apart (I'm younger) and for reasons I won't go into right now, didn't see each other for a long stretch of time spanning most of the middle of our lives. So now when I see her with her kids and see what an awesome person and mother and wife and woman she is, I can't help but wish we could turn time back so I can see the journey she went through to get there. It's like a blackout...I remember her as a young teenager...and I know her now. It's like I blinked and we grew up. Just like that. But she's one of my favorite people now, as is my other sister who is ten years older than me and likewise as awesome, and I'm just glad I get to see them now :)
This isn't a pithy or sarcastic post. Sorry about that. I think pithy and sarcastic stayed in bed, knowing full well how idiotic it is to get up at 6:30 a.m. ON A SUNDAY. Oy.
Happy football watching!!

*snort* I've done the thing with the liquid soap/lotion mix up before. Though, I think I've always caught it before application. However, that makes me angry too at the waste of good soap that you have to wash off. Because I always use WAY more lotion than soap. More body parts to cover, I guess! : )
Also, you crack me up. : )
