Well, that was a groany way to start the morning. LOL Have a good one.
Are you searching for things to do? Not enough to keep you busy?
I think I pulled a groan muscle!
I just don't have anything worth blogging about.
You can relate, can't you? Hmm?
Hmm. Got me there. You'll have to clue me in to your source for blog-posts-when-blogger-has-nothing!
Go Bears!
:P
Oh.
That's right.
You live in Indiana.
Pfff.
LOL hubby asked why I was snickering and so I made him listen as I read them out loud. I think he pulled some muscles with all the eye rolling he did.
Thanks for sharing! :)
You're welcome, Lily! Yeah, they're so outrageous you can't help but do the combination groan-snicker-eyeroll. Hope your hubby recovers soon. :-D
But I'm REALLY a Steelers fan!
*groan*
Y'know, Wrenboo, I was just saying to JLA that I'd love to see the Steelers and Packers in the Super Bowl -- two legendary teams from unassuming, blue-collar cities. It wouldn't send me spiraling into depression if the Pack lost to Pittsburgh.
But Chicago? I don't know if you guys get the heavy Illini Invasion we get up here, but way too many Chicagoans are super-pricks. (Not all, of course, but a LOT.) Hard to like a team when a bunch of rude, obnoxious asshats are cheering for it.
Ah. I'm happy to say that my Chicago-born beloved isn't one of those pricks.
We are hoping for a Bears-Steelers Bowl. I have a terrible towel somewhere!
Of course he isn't one of the pricks. If he were, he'd be in Wisconsin.
