Slapinions 4th anniversary, the Jonas Brothers, Texas Tech, Fantasy Football, and more

Lo and behold, the 4th anniversary of this blog came and went the other day and I didn't even post about it. How 'bout that?

While I refuse to officially surrender I think I'm about done in my fantasy league. I took another rough loss this past week thanks to Maurice Jones-Drew, dropping me to 3-6 and 9th place in the league. That just doesn't = playoff contender.

I've watched Texas Tech two weeks in a row and count me impressed. An Alabama-Texas Tech BCS title game would be a fun evening.

Work sucks.

Sunday was a pretty lousy day. After all that trouble over the baptism certificate we overslept and missed YaYa's religion class ["Why didn't you set an alarm?!" Lisa said. "I didn't think we need one. When's the last time anyone in this house slept past eight?"]

The Journal's print edition ran with the crappy blurb. I was so annoyed I wanted to throw out the clipping but LuLu, of all people, strongly objected. She seems very proud of me. Meanwhile, not so much as a peep from my family about the (admittedly ick) appearance. But, to be fair, I'm irked at them and therefore probably blowing their silence out of proportion.

My Godmother's husband did see it and wrote to wish me well.

[Today I go to have my picture taken and to sign the freelance agreement.]

Then, in the evening Lisa reported that her purse and keys had been stolen from a locker at work. At the end of the day they were found in another woman's locker, but I'm told it was all innocent and so . . .ok. I'm just happy it was found.

YaYa's becoming a fan of the Jonas Brothers. Track 2 is ok, but track 5, 'Lovebug' is pretty damn good. Catchy, nostalgic, and unique while still recognizable.
