Strange Phenomena

There is a strange phenomenon occurring in my life tonight:

I am actually enjoying watching baseball on TV.

What the heck!?
I've never, ever, ever, ever, in my life enjoyed watching baseball on TV!
So really I cannot believe I wrote that.
And I really cannot believe I'm thinking it!

But here is why I am enjoying it:

The Cardinals are playing in the World Series!

It's really hard to live in St. Louis and not be a Cardinals fan.
It's seriously like a fever.
A very, contagious and expensive fever.
But a fun fever.

Have you ever felt odd and out of place at a grocery store for not wearing a Cardinals (or other team) shirt or hat on game day? 

Well, I have. I've felt it alot actually.
Which means that someday I will get a Cardinals shirt.
And I will wear it to the grocery store on game day.
And I will not feel out of place.

This post was not meant to be about baseball. 

The other strange phenomenon that is occurring in my life is this:

I actually really enjoy watching sports on TV.

If we had cable I might watch Cupcake Wars and Say Yes to the Dress and Property Builders all the time. But we do not have cable.
Which means I resort to watching college football, college basketball, and Professional Baseball (huh?!).

This happened because I did something a few years ago that I do. not. regret.:

I married a sports nut.

He's a good sports nut.
Kinda like a nice, salty peanut.
Or a perfectly roasted almond.
Or a deliciously sugar roasted pecan.

He really knows his sports. And he enjoys them. And so do I.

But I did not start out that way.

It just kind of happened.
There might be a parallel here with how Satan tries to lead us astray.

that looks like ashtray...

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this.
Actually, I don't really know what I'm trying to say.
But I enjoy sports.
Even on TV.
And I'm proud of it.

You could even quiz me on some terminology and some college teams and I would provide some answers.
They may not be completely correct, but who cares, really?
I do know what Oklahoma football is ranked right now...

Number 1!!!!

In my mind, anyway. 

I had a conversation with my mom the other day. It went like this:

me: "Mom, am I the only mom that feels like I have to mop my floor and give my child a bath after every meal?"

mom: "No, you're not. If you remember, your dad and I used to lay newspaper down around your highchair so the clean up was easier. And we fed you in a diaper." 

me: "oh. yeah. That explains alot."

Don't you just love these faces?

I sure do.
