Just Muddling Through

I wanted to come on yesterday, but I worked the 2-6 shift, so I got a bit off balanced. I do like working that sometimes, because at 6:00, you can just bugger off, where as today, I work 6-close, and even though it's shorter, it just feels so long. Plus it's Friday, and we're having a 50% off sale, so it's going to be hectic.

Football season officially got underway 3 weeks ago, and it's really weird. I don't know why, but it's so bizarre that Ben's not a rookie anymore. But he's doing really well. And I won't even discuss the blatant cheating that happened in last week's game against the most awful team to ever step on a field. Ugh, how I loathe them. And the media's non-stop hard-on for them. It's disgusting. But it's our bye-week, so I know the news on the Steelers will be scant. But we come back on Monday, October 10, to play the Chargers in San Diego. The first of three Monday night games for us this season. And we have an ESPN game against the Browns. I know we won't go 15-1, but hopefully we can win the AFC North again. Because really, the Bengals ARE NOT FOR REAL!!! I am so sick of hearing people say that, I don't hate them, but when you look at the statistics, of course it was easier for them to go 3-0 than us. Right now, the NFC North is the WORST division in the entire league, and two of their games first three games were against them. And the third was against the Browns.

All I'm saying is that you don't tell me that the Bengals are better than the Steelers when in the same week, they played the Bears, and we played those loser cheaters the PATRIOTS!! It's just not possible. And one of the worst bits is that the Bengals are most likely going 4-0. They play the Texans, who, according to most of the football power rankings, are the worst team in the NFL. As much as I'd love an upset for the Texans, I just don't know if that will happen.

This week, I actually went out with Lisa to Pentagon City. It was pretty cool, we ran into Phil at Borders. He said that the rest of the crew pretty much fell out with Spineless and his bastard brother. And that if I wanted to hang with them, I should contact them. But I just don't know, I mean, they're still not the most punctual of people. But it's usually pretty rare that I have a Saturday off. Even though I had the last two off, but the first one was an error. That stupid place changed my schedule, and didn't notify me. That week, I was supposed to work Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Then my co-manager that does the schedules, Felicia, changes it and doesn't notify me. After the change, I was supposed to work Monday, Thursday, and Friday. And when I interviewed for the job, Felicia told me that it would be my responsibility to call in for my schedule. And I understand that completely, but if you just change it like that, I think a simple courtesy call is in order. But maybe that's just me.

Anyway, getting back to Wednesday. We went to Best Buy, and I got that Family Guy DVD about the untold story of Stewie. It was okay, it had some pretty funny moments, but ever since football came back, I don't watch The Simpsons, Family Guy, or American Dad like that. Except that with the last two, Adult Swim reruns the new episode every Thursday, which is nice. Oh, and the fact that now that Lost (bestshowever) and especially Desperate Housewives are back, nothing at 9:00 on Sundays even has a chance. I also bought Finding Nemo and the Fall Out Boy CD. They're playing Shantytown this year. I'd love to go, but this time it takes place in Germantown, which is in western Maryland, and I have no idea how to get there. Plus, I can't drive anyway. Maybe another year. And I'll actually have someone to go with.

Since I have a little change in the bank, I've also picked up my habit of online shopping. Like a needle to the veins, once you start, you gotta keep going. I love it. This time I bought something completely unnecessary. They had the cutest Grumpy Bear that has a little (fake) leather jacket and a red bandanna. It's Biker Grumpy Bear!! Oh, as soon as I saw it, I had to have it. I spotted it at least a week and a half ago, but they were all sold out. And they had that thing where you could put in your e-mail address, and it would notify you when they were back in stock. I got the notice Monday and it came in the mail today.

Too cute. I haven't the faintest idea as why I'm so addicted to that damn bear. And I'm still waiting to hear when his baby cub one comes back. Yeah, I need help. Bad.

But now on to my other addiction. The road is going to be a long one for my boo. But I see him EVERYWHERE!! It's so, I don't know. Like this one day, he was on some channel at least every half-hour, and it was great. But by the time I was going to bed, I was saying I'm almost sick of looking at him. And then I had it bad for him that night. But I think one of my favorite things to see him in is his Fathead commercial. It's so great, I gotta have one! A Fathead is this big, life-like sized poster of the players, or a really big helmet, but it's not like a poster, it's more like a cut-out. And it has adhesive on the back, so you just stick it on the wall. If I ever get Ben's and the helmet, I'd have to redecorate my wall. I'd love to get Hines Ward's as well, but with the helmet running at $95, and the players' at $145 (and that's on sale), I can only get what I really, really want. But I might by my mum one for Crimbo. I can't wait for that holiday, I love it!

It's supposed to look something like this when you put it up:

Well, that's it for me, hopefully I can get on here more often. We'll see, but of course, before I go, I have to put up my pic of Ben. The Fathead one doesn't count. It's from that atrocity of a game that happened on Sunday. But there's a specific reason I like this photo:

That's what I want him to look like when he yells at our children. I got it too bad for that boy right there.

I'm phasing.
