Oh, the Agony

Yes, my beloved team lost by three measly points Saturday night. I have since processed it and recovered. As I've aged, I've learned to be more mature in my approach. I did not scream at Mrs. Leslie, (but did demand sympathy) and did not break anything. In the past, any inanimate object was fair game, but no longer. The fact that I was with all of my favorite peeps certainly helped. After all, football in the South is about getting together and having fun.

I turned one year older today, and we are keeping it low key around here. I'm working for now, but plan to kick back later on when my family comes over for cake. I have been promised the king of all back rubs later (no, not by my family, you pervs). We'll see if the dog allows it, as no one is allowed to pay attention to anyone but him. Lucky for him, he's cute.

I'm Trying...

I try to update this blog as frequently as possible, but have been so busy. Good busy, not bad busy. Fall is always a busy time for me, with football season in full swing, and the holidays coming up. These are good things, and the fact that my business is finally starting to take off is a good thing as well.

I've been working to bring in new clients, and it is working. It seems that this task was not as daunting as I originally feared. A few eBay listings have already resulted in new business. I wish I had thought of that earlier. I will continue to use this to build my client base, and hopefully will soon find myself with more work than I can even complete on my own. Though I am near that point already. I have lots of bad traits. However, lack of ambition is not one of them.

Alabama stomped Florida last Saturday night, much to my delight. My fantasy team won as well. This win was bittersweet, as my team was playing my brother's team. He needed a win in the worst way, so I could not overly celebrate. Currently I am 3-1, but after losing my top receiver to injury, who knows what will happen.

Life with our dog, Sebastian, continues to be interesting. We dress him in baby clothes, (yes, I am THAT person) and have plans for purchasing him an entire wardrobe. It's hard to believe that a full grown dog can be so small. I'm always worried that I will step on one of this legs, which are the size of a chicken leg.

He is a stinky dog, and does have to have baths. He does not, however, have stinky dog breath. He does not fart, but does burp quite a lot. You take the good with the bad, I suppose. Even if he does get gassy with time, and gets wicked breath, we're keeping him.

Oh, Happy Day!

My nemesis, Auburn, finally lost a game yesterday. This snapped their 17 game win streak, and left me absolutely verklempt. I've been waiting a LONG time for this to happen, and it was just as pleasing as I thought it would be. Hopefully, there will be many more this season. Suck it, Auburn!

Alabama won 48-0, but since the game was against North Texas, this was no big accomplishment. We are currently ranked at #2, but I fear that we are overrated. Plenty of talent, but a quarterback that is average. I guess we'll see what happens. The last time I felt this way, we won the National Championship, so what do I know?

I still don't have the Halloween decorations up, but they have been moved from the shed to the back porch. I had planned to do it today, but seeing as how it is hot today, that killed the mood. I will wait for the next cold front, which should be sometime this week.

Life with four pets continues to be interesting. Michelle and I comically chased the puppy around this morning attempting to get him to drop the huge spider he had in his mouth. Yesterday he ate cat vomit out of the yard. The day before that, he ate poop, and then deposited some of it on Michelle's hand. He also has an addiction to eating acorns. Never a dull moment...

Dominator

I dominated this week in fantasy football. Not only did I wipe the floor with my opponent, but I outscored everyone in the league. I'm trying to reserve my excitement, but I would love nothing more than to be the champ again. Second, third, and forth place are not enough!

What I am not dominating is our new dog. He is extremely well behaved, but I am still in the learning curve. We took him to Pet Smart today, and he started to pee on the floor. I stood there like a deer in headlights. I suppose those accidents happen all the time, but I panicked. As I stood there dumbfounded, Michelle said, "Take him outside!" What? Huh? Where am I?

We have decided not to move until after the holidays. This means that I can decorate for Halloween. I wanted to be the first person in town to do this, but upon leaving the house today, I discovered that I have already been beat. Oh well, I can still put the decoration up at an unreasonably early date.
