4 days

My four day holiday weekend just flew by...swear to God it was just Thursday night, like, a minute ago...*sigh*

Given that the weekend was FILLED with awesome games, both football and baseball, every spare minute was spent in front of a TV either watching a game or watching highlights from the games...hence, I never got on the computer for more than a minute or two to check email.

Friday was non-stop...I started the day with a visit to my lawyer, and let me just say, for the record, divorce SUCKS...no, not just sucks, sucks bad...I don't recommend doing it...EVER. Not only is it awful, but it aint cheap...uck. After the lawyer came some happy fun time (no, not that kind of happy fun time, darnit) as I decided to finally cash in a gift certificate I won for free golf lessons. It was nice to be back out there, smashing the ball, and since I have another tournament to play in this week (Rally For The Cure...find one, play in it!) it doesn't hurt that I have confidence in my swing again. After the golf came a quick visit with Gigi to catch up and then later, dinner with Lady. What was supposed to be a "me" day quickly turned into a "run myself ragged" day and despite it all being good, was exhausting.

Saturday started off with pumpkin doughnuts and a run...finished with a trip to the park and the pumpkin patch...it was a great mommy day, and the Pea was ridiculously cute and fun. When the Florida @ LSU game started I tried to put her to bed but she was so adamant about staying up to watch, that instead of fighting with her, I just let her watch the first quarter. A few highlights from the game: every time there was a first down the Pea yelled "pirates!" (ECU fans will appreciate), when Tebow dropped his mouth guard and had to take a time out, I said "what was that about?" the Pea, without skipping a beat said, "The alligator guy was bad, when you are bad you need a time out...he had to go to TIME OUT!" and upon seeing the LSU tiger asked "Mommy, do alligators eat tigers?" Ahh, out of the mouths of babes...

Sunday started with some visiting and then...more football. A few highlights: The Panthers FINALLY won a game...it wasn't pretty, and against most other teams would have been a loss, but it was a W and that means they won't go 0-16, whew. While watching that game the Pea asked if we could watch "the other game" soooo, I switched to the other game, only to be told "NOOO, the OTHER game...with the alligators...it was better." LOL...yes, baby, it was a better game, but cut the Panthers some slack. After that, the Pats @ Denver, and sorry Coach but you have some competition for my favorite football coach on the planet...is anyone else in love with Josh McDaniels? I detest the Broncos, but boy do I love the coach, the game was awesome and his reaction to the win was priceless...fun to watch. The Colts *smile* they make me happy...the Yanks...yay...nice to see ARod doing something in the post season...the Sox, uhm wow...that's it? I know as a Yanks fan I should be delighted, but I just figured you guys would be around a little longer.

Today was nice...planned on playing golf, but with rain threatening went to a movie instead. Saw Couples Retreat...it was good, and definitely funny, but bummed me out a little. Hell, I can watch Vince Vaughn in pretty much anything and end up happy, but since the whole thing was couple and marriage centered it made me think of my own marriage, and its early demise, and well, I just wouldn't recommend if you are at the end stages of a divorce...Philly agreed, as we are both at that stage, and we both left the theater kind of blah. Better now, as the Pea was delighted to see me when I picked her up tonight, and since, well...you guessed it...there is more football.
