A Quick Funny Post

Last night Bob was watching the Suns-Bulls game and we were all tortured by it treated to it as well. Basketball...eh. Not really my thing.
Anyway...

One of the Bulls players, Joakim Noah for those who care, has long hair and wears it tied back for games.
After watching the game for awhile, Elizabeth, ever the funny girl, said to me "Mom! There's ONE girl out there!"

After I stopped laughing so hard my belly hurt I said "No honey, they're all boys. He just has long hair."

"Oh," she said.

What will she think of Troy Polamalu today???

Oh boy...

We're doing the football picks again, of course.

Last week I got four games right. Sad. Pitiful.

This week I decided to throw caution to the wind and let Elizabeth make my picks.

Oh boy...

So far there are eight completed games. Elizabeth picked the winner in six of those games AND Houston also almost won, so she almost got SEVEN OF EIGHT.
Insane.
It has to be a fluke, right?

Pick this!

I've refrained from posting about our football picks groups all season for fear of jinxing myself. It's still not technically safe, but I can't wait any longer!
I AM KICKING ASS!! More importantly, I am kicking my husband's ass, which is really all the Christmas gift I need. Is that terrible? Probably!
In our blogfriends and family group, which is myself, Bob, Chris from Solipsistic, Amy from Occhio Grosso and my mom (who picks based on what cities she's visited and which team has a cuter QB).
The last few weeks Chris has started edging up on my lead and as of RIGHT NOW I am only ahead by TWO points with just seven games left in the season...Oooooh. It's getting feisty!

In our college friends group, I am running a close second behind someone who I'm not even sure I know seeing as he or she has used a false name for their picks group! So rude!
I am only two points back with the same seven games. Almost all of the remaining games we have different picks, so I will either TOTALLY kick ass, or my ass will be kicked harshly.

My mom, bless her heart, ALWAYS picks the NY Giants to win. She did so this week even though they were playing the G.D. Patriots. For half the game last night, she had hope...but alas. The refs were paid handsomely, allegedly, as were the Giants players, allegedly, and though the "Jints" made a good showing, the Pats ended up winning 38-35, capping off the first perfect NFL season since 1972. Now shush '72 Dolphins players, shush already.
Here's to the Pats losing their first playoff game and going out unceremoniously. Booooo.
Sorry Mer.
And now that I've fully jinxed myself...I'll get back to the games now.

Whooooooooooo!!!

Colts v. Bears!

An all-animal showdown!!!

Super Bowl baby!

Peyton Manning! Whoo hoo!!!
Rex Grossman....whoo.

I'm rooting for my boyfriend Peyton Manning, of course!
