Whew! This Year is Flying By!

I can't believe it's already the 10th. This year is flying by....2011 is just around the corner. Well, not really, but I do feel that way a bit.

Last week was a bit of a blur. Work started back and we were super busy. I guess that's good - it was busy doing kind of normal things and not just holding a thumb in the dike. Compounded with that busyness was sheer exhaustion from watching ballgames every night. All the teams that we even sort of follow played last week.

We started with Georgia Tech, which didn't turn out so well. Then, we turned to Troy University. My dad played there and my parents live about two blocks from the campus. The boys especially like to watch them. After double overtime (and long after I fell asleep), they lost. What a bummer. It was all riding on our last game...THE game.

Now, I had been waiting for this game for a long time as all good Alabama fans had. Two years ago, we purchased a large LCD TV that is on the wall above our fireplace. It's a beauty, especially for people who really don't watch a lot of TV. Ever since we bought it, I have been secretly waiting for an Alabama championship game so I could watch Alabama win and see the very blades of grass they were playing on.

Well, of course, I believe I was putting a little too much focus on that because a couple of nights before the game, it started acting up. Now, I'm not blaming God for intervening in my game-watching, but He certainly did allow it to happen. James was having a few friends over to watch so we all ended up in the guest bedroom on the bed, on the floor in chairs around the bed. An hysterical sight to be sure. (And, just to show you how into the game I was, I didn't get a single picture - not one.)

In the end, it was all ok. For those of you who don't know - don't tell me who you are - the Tide won. Keith, James and I stayed up until 2am watching every word of every interview. Did you know ESPN replayed the game at 2 am? (We didn't watch it again - it was just too exhausting.)

Back to the TV, I am wondering if He did have just a little to do with it....it seems to be working fine now.
