Out and about, January 1992.HE is over four thousand views ahead of me! And by "he", I mean hubby! I shall have to dispense several shin kicks his way to show my displeasure!
Grrrrrr........I'm mean and fierce!
Hubby and I (and his hobble shins) have in in Texas the past several days. My brother and his wife had another baby. My mom and dad are getting older, and Dad has a few health problems, so we wanted to go out and take care of the kids while everybody went to the hospital.
Of course, we spoiled our charges as only an aunt and uncle can do. That's our job. We love doing it too. Let's just say a lot of Happy Meals were consumed over our few days there.
Well, who would've figured that after a full season of pulling for the Rams to Suck 4 Luck, only to lose the top spot to Indy on a tiebreaker, that we'd still be sitting in the catbird's seat?
Ahhhh......the whole world's fallen in love with Robert Griffin lll. Or as I, and only I, call him...... "RG3".
Okay, maybe other people call him that too......
Maybe "Suck 4 Luck" should have been "Grippin' 4 Griffin". Maybe not.
In case you don't follow football, WA traded up to #2 and St. Louis received Washington's 2012 first rounder (#6 overall), 2012 second rounder, and their 2013 and 2014 first rounders.
To clear up some loose wording people are using, WA did NOT give up three first rounders. They gave up two first rounders and a second to switch picks.
I really wanted Cleveland to get this pick (no offense, Redskins fans). I didn't want to drop further than #4, so we could get Matt Kahlil or Justin Blackmon. I think Minny takes Kahlil at #3 and Cleveland takes Blackmon.
He's the best pick, though. I like Colt McCoy. And taking Blackmon and teaming him up with Greg Little could be something really good. Blackmon would help Colt improve, as well as Little.
As for St. Louis, I can just see Fisher and Snead taking a d-lineman at #6. BLECH! I HATE taking d-linemen so high. But I doubt Morris Claybourne, Justin, or Matt will be available. Thus my desire to stay in the top four.
And nothing personal, Washington fans, but I will be rooting against you next season. And the season after that. I really like top ten picks. I don't think we'll get them, though. But I have to root against you, regardless. It's my duty as a fan. You'd do the same if the positions were reversed.
Truth be told, the Rams will probably only win five or six games themselves next season. I don't mind. I just want some progress. This franchise is being brought back from the ashes and I'm happy to wait a few years if that means we build a solid foundation for the future.
I am almost done with another carrot entry! Wooooooohooooooo! It shouldn't take me several more months/years/decades to follow up and finish this whole deal.
To those who follow hubby's blog--or have for awhile, I should say--you've no doubt noticed that he mentions his buddy Jim quite a bit. Jim's the one with the construction business back in southern Cal.
A couple of weeks ago, he flew out to talk to us.
He's selling his company. He's had a ton of offers over the years and has decided that it's finally time to take one. My husband actually (for now) owns a small piece of that company and he was sad to see Jim sell it. He worked a lot with Jim's dad at first and then Jim.
I'm not sure of what's more nostalgic to him though: the great times he had with Jim or all the tail he got from chicks he met on his various jobs. I would like to think the former.....but I know those two. LOL
Anyway, hubby will sell his share along with Jim and Jim and his wife Mindy (I done got some stories to tell about HER!) are going to sell their house in Rancho Cucamonga and move to northern Arizona.
Fuck. Can we come? Jim wants us there. So does Miss Mindy. I'd love to get some fun going with her again.
Maybe in a few years. I mean, Mitzie and CG probably won't be living with us then. That apartment was only meant to be a starter for them (although we love having them). But at some point, they'll want to buy a house of their own. And they deserve it.

As for Janey and Shelly, they won't be in that guest house/suite, whatever it is, forever. They actually want to move up to rural New England sometime after Janey graduates from her physician's assistant program.
And this monstrous house is paid for. And pretty much all of it has been fixed up, thanks to my husband (and Jim as well). Sell it and take off.
So who knows?
I just put up two more polls. One is who will be the best NFL QB: Luck, Griffin, Ryan Tannehill or Spankey Damonkey. The other poll is what team you think Peyton Manning should choose. That should only be up for a few days, as Peyton reportedly wants to make a decision soon. I'm guessing Ottawa.
