Well, up to today the weather has been awful. Fog. Fog. Fog sharing the stage with rain. So let's just say not a bright start to 2011. Today, however, is sunny and getting warm. Not shirt sleeve weather yet but getting close.
I'm one of those, who feel excited about the new year. Anything new is exciting to me. I look at it as a chance to try something, maybe not new, but different. You might have read about it or saw it but never tried it yourself. Hope, I think is very important also, everyone knows that. I, myself, have been through some tough times but you always have to add not as bad as some people have had it. So of course, I do count my blessings. Your afraid if you don't then you won't have any good luck. Like there is someone up above with a clip board writing down the things you do and say. "She isn't grateful enough so no big surprise for her". I sure hope that is not happening. I heard someone say one time..."It's not like there is a limit of good luck going around. There really is a lot out there and it's up for grabs for anyone". Hey, I want to believe that. I want this year to be the best yet. I want all kinds of good surprises. You know the kind where your mouth is wide open and you just can't believe that it's happening to you. You keep shaking your head in case your daydreaming. Well, I'm ready for this great year. I'm ready for the good news. I'm ready for that special surprise that will change my world for the better. How about all of you. If we all believe, it will happen.
On a different note. Am I the only person who does not like football. I swear, sometimes I feel like I am. My whole family just loves it. I'm not kidding. They even talk about the players like there best friends. Come on, let's be real. It's a game people. Yes, someone is making a boatload of money off of it and it sure is not my family but your would think they do. Every weekend it is just plain sad. They have their family around them and all they can talk about is this game. IT'S A GAME ! Some one needs to explain this. That is the problem, if you say you don't like it they look at you with pity. Can you believe that, Pity. Like I'm unAmerican. Well the way I look at it their unfamily as far as I'm concerned. I have to say it's been the thorn in my side since I was first married. My inlaws, well I won't even go into that. Let's just say the Holidays were celebrated around, "The Game," period. Now in my family it was never on, the TV that is, during any Holiday. Unless of course, there was a parade or holiday related movie. Never would it have been allowed. I put up with it for many years, thinking I had to be fair. After all that is how Jim was raised. Never once did he want to be fair. Then all of a sudden he did stop making it a big deal. Oh, believe me he had his ways of finding out the score or hearing about a good play, which was fine with me. The rest of the family felt real sorry for him. Such a shame, look what he is missing out on. Now that we are retired and home a lot more several times I have stated to him, "Hey, if you really want to watch, "The Game," go ahead. All I ever heard was, No, I don't really care about, "The Game," it's fine. But I would even go so far as to invite the family over make a special meal and watch, "The Game." I told him how lucky he was he could do this with his sons. Still he would way, No, I really don't care about, "The Game," they are probably fixed anyway. So this last weekend it's awful weather outside, we have really nothing to do and as I am flipping through the channels I see a game on. He states, yes, it's a playoff game. Well, to myself I say, Crap. So I say to him if you really want to watch, "The Game," go ahead. I will be darn if I didn't get the usual response.....No, I really don't care about, "The Game," it's fine. You know there comes a time when it's the last straw and believe me the camel's back is broke. I continued to change channels and I think I ended up reading but the next day as I am flipping around he says.....I thought you would put, "The Game" on. Let's just say I made it plain as far as I was concerned it would never happen, never would I put on, "The Game." I'm sure you get the message there is a lot more here but I am not going to bore you with it. I was being very generous because if you knew how much I detest, "The Game," it's a surprise for me to say that. I knew he really enjoyed watching and I felt bad about it. But in that moment, when the straw broke the camels back, he was still playing a role, like I was forcing him to watch. He did not want to acknowledge I was being nice. Like he would have to be grateful. So, as far as I am concerned he took my generosity, wadded it up and threw it in my face. So that is my spin on, "The Game". Tootles and Doodles
