True Story: I have been a bad, bad girl.
I have not been blogging like I should. But I have been writing. I’ve been working and editing a new script with Ex-Pump, selling real estate, and working on getting everything the distributor for Prairie Love needs. We are available on Video on Demand this month. Very exciting. Rent it!
Also, been doing lots O Mommy. The Monkey has been out of school for a year and a half (seems like). How come when I was a kid winter break was like a week. His Daddy went to the North Pole for Christmas, so it has just been me and the Monkey. Good thing it was nice and warm during the holidays. We went to the beach, park or indoor pool almost every afternoon.
There you have it: My excuses for not posting blogs lately. Otherwise know as bullsh*t. A writer writes Damn it. Excuse me for a minute while I go in the closet and whip myself ala’ priest in the Scarlet Letter style.
I also posted today to tell you I will not be blog posting over the next few days. This is planned laziness.
I will be in Nawlinz roaming the streets horse from yelling Roll Tide!
If you live under a rock, or just purposessly know nothing about Sports, you might not know that LSU and Alabama are meeting up Monday night in New Orleans for REMATCH, the SEQUEL, Part DEAUX.
Well, I am headed over there as we speak. My suitcase holds the following:
Saint’s jersey, layers of obnoxious Alabama parqaphanelia, and a tiny, over the shoulder purse to hold money, phone & ID.
My liver is rested, and I lost 3 lbs, so I can eat well… Oh who am I kidding, I’m going to be eating cart food. There is not a seat left in the house nor a room at the inn people… REMATCH ROLL TIDE!.
I have been an Alabama fan my whole life. My step dad took me to the games. I had heard of Auburn but all I knew of was Alabama football.
When I entered the University of Alabama as a student in 1994 they were still high on the 1992 chanpionship they had wom under Coach Gene Stallings. It was awesome.
Then, came the “probabtion years”. Not cool. I don’t know how that happened? College Football is as pure as the driven snow.
Old friends have said the last few years, I didn’t know you were such a strong Alabama fan?
Answer: Always have been. I remember getting in a fight in the lunchroom in school over who was better Alabama or Auburn. I didn’t really know what a football play was, who the players were, or even the Coach’s name, but I knew you were a dumbass if you weren’t for Alabama. You see people, this is how we raise ’em down here.
The probabtion years were tough, and I lived out of the south 8 years. But now that I am back, and we happen to have an awesome team, I’m a huge fan. Come on, it’s fun to win.
Here’s the real joke.
My son should be a Bama fan by birth. There is only 1 Auburn fan in my family, my brother in law. G Monkey doesn’t see him all that much so I don’t think it is his influence that is steering my son to the dark side.
True Story: His preschool had an IRON BOWL DAY.
They had a pep rally and put the kids in a section of the auditorium according to clothes they were wearing. Of course I dressed my son in an ALBAMA sweatshirt.
I was dumbfounded to find out that he had pitched a fit and the teachers had to take him out of class to find out what was wrong.
Apparently, “He pulls for AUBURN”. That’s what he told them. He was so upsaet he had to disrupt the entire program and be replaced under the AUBURN banner at school.
Clearly, someone in his family is doing me a dis-service. I’m not naming names, his father & grandmother, but someone is sending my kid down the wrong path, and it has to be stopped.
Exibit A, he was given an AUBURN shirt and hat for Christmas this year.
Excuse me! You people are from the North Dakota, why are you participating in our SEC battle?!?! It is hard not to take it personally.
True Story: G Monkey lives in Orange Beach, Auburn.
Leaving the library the other day I asked the Monkey where he lived. He said, “Orange Beach, Auburn”.
Me: Alright, that’s ENOUGH. No Sir, you do not. You live in Orange Beach, ALabama. Auburn is not a state. it is a stupid school and town. Get with the program kid.
True Story: I got Auburn Legacy too.
My 2nd cousin was the quarter back during AUBURN’S 1957 National Championship. Last year he got to carry the crystal football to the 50 yard line when Auburn (Cam) won.
If Alabama wins Monday night I get to tell G Monkey that the great state of Auburn has won the BCS Championship 3 years in a row.
