cowboys & chevys.

I feel the need to preface this post with a disclaimer.

I am a female sports fan.  I thoroughly love sports & cheering on my teams.  I apologize if I bore my primarily female audience.  But this is me.

Ok.  Now, with that said....

After ending their 14-year drought in the playoffs, the Cowboys have finally won their first playoff game since I was 16. Hard to believe that their last post-season win was the same time that I was getting my license & driving my first car.
Ah...my first car.  Affectionately known as the "Screamin' White Demon" by all of my passengers.  (For a visual, imagine this puppy in white!)

The maroon interior and obnoxiously large steering wheel gave it even more character.  (Like that was needed.)  Classically, the ceiling was hanging between strategically placed thumb tacks.  The stereo was a classic as well.  8-track player with the car radio placed vertically into dash rather than horizontally.  It may have rattled a lot, but by the time that thing hit 70, we were coasting.
I remember going out to sell ads for the yearbook with some fellow classmates when my left blinker stopped working.  Thankfully, I was able to depend on crazy friend, Spencer, who would hang out of the back driver's side window and point as we approached a turn.  We had some good times in that car.  But I digress.....
This all brings about memories from a time not too long ago.
I'm so excited that Tony Romo is finally playing as well as everyone claimed he was capable of for the past few years and all is well in Jerryland.
After my beloved Longhorns lost a couple of weeks ago in the BCS National Championship, I could really use a pick-me-up.....

random.

My ADHD is currently in overdrive.
This is me trying to tell you that you'll have to work to keep up with this post.

So, first let's start with a wonderful round of applause for my Dallas Mavericks.
*applause*
I'm guessing that it took me leaving the state for them to shut down San Antonio in the playoffs....but hey, whatever it takes.

I've also recently found myself craving coffee.
all. the. time.

I'll be in Safeway and the magnificent aroma will cause me to float to the coffee aisle. So wonderful.... I think I'll write a poem about coffee. Just you wait.

I now know why I enjoy living in the country.
No neighbors.

People are crazy! Since moving into my new apartment, I have had more run-ins with the crazies than ever before. Seriously....

Example A: I'm leaving my apartment as another tenant of the male persuasion is sitting on a bench near the exit. Here is the conversation:

Him: Hello.

Me: Hi. (I continue walking.)

Him: Lookin' good there!!

(I walk much faster.)


Example B: I get home from work to find a man standing outside the entrance. (You have to have a key to enter the building, or be buzzed up.) Again.....another conversation:

Him#2: Hi!

Me: Hi. (Walking to the door.)

Him#2: Hey, I'm waiting for my friend. Can I come up and wait with you?

Me: Umm...no. (Walk in, shut door.)

Crazies, I tell you! Then, I have people stomping overhead....and someone felt the need this week to hammer. All morning. It was like they were building a house...in a studio apartment! *sigh*

Also, I must take this opportunity to give a shout out to my wonderful friend, Sis. Gayla Baughman. I told you I would, and here it is. I'm wondering two things. When will you blog again, and why aren't you following me yet?? ha ha

Nothing really pressing to blog about at the current moment. I will, however, make a promise now to try and post more regularly. I understand that I have become a slacker. I understand the need for me to fill your minds with randomness on a regular basis.

Done.
