Thursday's Thoughts/Tangents

It's been a loooong week and I am so glad I can almost say TGIF! Not only is it a long weekend, but it is the opening weekend of football season (does "opening" apply to sports or only to hunting seasons...oh well, I'm a girl so I think I get a pass). Woot woot for Auburn football!!!
War Eagle!
I am so excited to sit in Jordan-Hare with my "family" and cheer on my alma mater! The chill bumps I get on my arms during the pre-game video are...well, titillating. I hate that word, but it's kinda fitting.

As you probably know (if you actually know me), I have quite a few friends that are Alabama fans. I know, I know. Why, right? Just kidding. I love you guys! Seriously though, I have deliberated over what I should do about this. I could choose to shun the majority of my friends for four months out of the year...but that may get lonely. I could talk a bunch of smack, but then that would make me one of those annoying fans I don't like, so that's no good. Plus I'm no good at the smack talk thing. That really only leaves me with one option. Learn to be tolerable. hmmmm. Am I ready for such a mature act? We shall see! I have developed a twelve step program (not really, but it sounds prudent) and the first step requires me to discontinue any negative comments I may wish to make regarding The U of A, the words "roll tide" (it was really hard to type that btw), the color crimson, the houndstooth design, Bear Bryant, or Nick Saban. Okay, maybe not Nick Saban...let's not go overboard. This may take me the entire season to accomplish, but I will try. I need you to keep me accountable but also extend some grace. Remember, this has been a difficult decision.

And more than ever....
"I believe in Auburn and love it!"

Sorry, honey, but I will not be supporting your 12 step program. In fact, I'm going to fight it all the way. :D
