Am I Wrong Here?

Fourteen children.  Eight of them newborns. $2 million before she’ll talk to anyone.

And now she says she wants to become a ‘televised childcare expert.’  I’m thinking she should try actually raising these children before calling herself anything other than a media whore.

 

The Agony and the Irony

So, interestingly enough…

Halfway through the LSU-Troy game I started high-fiving myself for turning the tickets down.  Ha!, said I.  Everyone is sitting up there freezing their arses off watching us lose to a rent-a-win team.  But not me!  No sirree, bob, I’m at home, nice and warm.

Going back and forth with heavy loads of wet laundry.  From one house to another.  Because my neighbor was kind enough to offer her washer for me to finish the laundry that stopped mid-cycle when my washer decided to break.  (Why do they always break when they are full of dirty, soapy water?  Huh?  HEY!!!! LAUNDRY GODS!!! CAN YOU ANSWER DAT $HIT????)

Laundry is heavy.  Especially when it is wet.  And it’s cold out.  But hey.  I could be watching LSU get the $hit kicked out of …

Wait.

What?

LSU scored 37 points in the game’s final 16:26 minutes and staged the biggest comeback win in  the modern history of the program?

Let me get back to you on that a little later.  I have to finish wringing out, by hand, a load of half-washed clothes.

I love my life.

 

Can I Tell You Just How Badly My Life Sucks?

I can.  Very succinctly.

I’ve just been offered four tickets to the LSU-Troy game.

Tonight.

FREE OF CHARGE.  (Easily $180 worth.)

I.

Can’t.

Go.

The end.

 

Weekend Update 2.0

… hook for Saturday, right?  See? I’m caught up!

Brilliant.

Congrats to the LSU Tigers for keeping it close with Alabama.  Just think what you might have accomplished if you actually had a quarterback.

Amazing.

I still love you guys.  I’m just really, really pissed off right now.

 

Counting Down

With apologies (again) to those of you who don’t care, I must tell you that LSU football kicks off in seven (yes, seven) days, seven hours, 22 minutes, and 48 seconds, against the always surprising Appalachian State Mountaineers.

So, with that in mind, here are a few totally random thoughts:

• No one really expects a repeat of our championship year we had (but stranger things have happened).
• The game will kick off at the height of lovebug season (if you know me, you know what this means — just don’t tell the Mountaineers about it; we want it to be a surprise…)
• Our possible starting QB started his college career at Harvard (yeah, THAT Harvard, not the Harvard that Tulane THINKS it is).
• I have resolved (heh) to avoid posting TOO much about football this year.
• HOWEVER. If we DO repeat?  All bets are off.
• And finally, the jambalaya header will return, eventually (considering I’m on a different computer now, however, and didn’t save the old one, it might be a while).
• In the meantime, enjoy the staredown.

 

Holy Loaded Bases, Batman!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? DOWN 5-2 IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH? CAN YOU SAY THREE-RUN DOUBLE????? CAN YOU SAY WE ARE NOT READY TO GO HOME YET?????

HELL YEAH, YOU CAN!!!

So Much More Than Baseball

I know this blog tends to get a bit LSU-sports-heavy now and then, and I apologize to my non-sports-loving friends for that reason even though there must really be something wrong with you, because I love you all the same.

But this is something that’s going on here right now that I felt I had to share with you all — sports lovers and weirdos non-sports lovers alike.  Because this is an indication of what my guys are made of.  And if you weren’t really interested in the baseball College World Series before, maybe this will give you a reason to cheer us on.

Please take the time to read (and watch, if you care to click on the video on the WAFB site) this feel-good story.  Like I said, it’s not so much about baseball as it is about the good in people.

Both stories are short, and the first one has a couple of videos to the right of it.
