Go Blue? Really?

We're only half way through the week and already I'm ready to go nuts... people wanting to strangle each other and it's just been a hectic week. But just when I think that I'm coming apart at the seems... I am reminded of why I am an Ohio State fan. I work in Ohio but live in Michigan. There's always the back and forth between the fans. Lately its been the Buckeyes who've been getting taken to the woodshed. But once in a while, I have a moment where I can say "must be a Michigan fan" and I get a gem like this come across my path...

Caller: "I was wondering if you guys have a website to go to so that I can see what kind of jobs you have?"
The caller is given the website to check on employment opportunities...
Caller: "okay that's fine but will it work for me here Michigan? Can I get to the website from up here?"
um... uhhh... (the sound of scratching head)

again, you can't make stuff up like this!

Gotta love them Michigan fans... or not!

Rootin' Hootin' and Tootin'...

Spent the weekend with the gal pal (always a treat)... we went and saw the movie "Soul Surfer" which is based on the true story of the teenage surfer in Hawaii who had her arm chewed off by a shark and how she came back and surfed again. A very moving story if ever there was one. Both me and the gal pal enjoyed it immensely. Had a nice dinner afterwards and what dinner and movie date would be complete without the obligatory trip to Wal-Mart? I love that place!
After spending a fantastic weekend with her, I made the long trek home. I stopped for a bite (read: a couple of Coneys at Gold Star Chili) and both there and Skyline Chili are always a treat and worth stopping for because their are no locations anywhere near my town... I went in and placed my order and could hear a family sitting at a table just being themselves and talking over each other. As I grabbed my food and was leaving I heard the following between two sisters who appeared to be ages 12 and 9...

12 year old: "you're being a pain, you are making a mess!"
9 year old: "I am NOT"
12 year old: "Yes you ARE. You've spilled it all over the table"
Mom: "Girls, come on now"
12 year old: "Why can't you just stop it"
9 year old: "It's all because you FARTED!!"
12 year old: ... (complete silence) ...

You can't make stuff like this up...

Well, so much for the Blue Grass...

UK lost (read: they gave away) a game they should have won, in losing to eventual NCAA champ UConn by one point... This really had my gal pal feeling a little bummed. But to give you an idea where her mind is... We watched the game together last Saturday night after she had been in a wedding of one of her cousins. The wedding was over by 8:30 (didn't have a long reception) and my beloved got changed and we hurried home so that we could be there by tip-off. Now she was a little bummed at the outcome. But forever the optimist, my much better half looks at me square in the eye, and with the biggest smile says "oh well, at least we beat Ohio State!" ... I really love that woman... drives me crazy sometimes but I love that woman...
