Sweet Sweet Fantasy, Baby

You might be thinking to yourself, wow, what happened to sister christer and my 90 second read of keeping up with how boring her life is?

Well, my faithful readers, (hi dad) know it's because I have a new job. and my friends who listen to me complain know it's because 97% of all websites I would have a desire to go to are now blocked. So unless you need a background check or a drug screen, chances are you won't be hearing from me between 8-5. Unless it's tmobiley.

I'm glad I can serve as the low end of the spectrum as you judge just how cool you are. If I have given just one person that little bump in self esteem knowing they are cooler than me then this blog has done her job.

SPEAKING OF LAME.

I used to think anyone and everyone and everything related to 'fantasy sports' was super lame. That is, until I got myself a team. That's right. The Hoedown Throwdowns have taken the Cris Carter North division by storm thanks to Peyton and some Pierres.

I find myself thinking about it usually by the time Thursday rolls around. But since ESPN is blocked at work, (yes it's true!) I have to wait til I get home to read all my ff advice online which I usually forget to do because I'm too busy visiting the other 29849476 websites that are blocked at work. You know, just trying to keep up with the world sort of sites.

Anyway, then Friday comes and I don't have time because I'm doing things like....well...laundry, picking the wicks out of candles...important things.

Saturday comes and goes and I couldn't even tell you what I do. (hopefully an oil change tomorrow, the Reegs is a beggin.)

And then Sunday. SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.

I panic and I move and I drop and I add before kickoff. Then I spend all afternoon Sunday stressing and sleeping, sleeping and stressing. ALL OVER FOOTBALL.

Who would have thought my life would come to this.

Anyway, the best part is when people at work ask me questions about my team and all I can ever say is "Well....I have Peyton Manning." I might add that usually the question is "Who are your running backs?" or "How do you think you'll do this week?"

I realize Fantasy Football has a lot of strategy behind it, HOWEVER, the Hoedown Throwdowns play purely by luck. and they are leading their division so looks like not only do I have Peyton Manning, but also Lady Luck.

Cabrera is the new black

Cabreras are to baseball as I am to the Mall of America these days. Now that I work about 90 seconds away from it that is.

I just heard the sentence "Cabrera has been the lucky charm this season." and I thought to myself, wait, for the Twins? for the Tigers? for the Yankees? for the abused wife? or the 5 others in the MLB? Is this regular season? Is this the 17th inning? Have I been watching baseball for the better part of the last 6 months? Did I almost pay $18 for a 2010 Twins calendar for my cubical? (cubicle? cube?)

Anyway.

I narrowed it down to Orlando or Melky but I'm too lazy to look up from my laptop so we'll never know.

Things I could do without right now:
-EXTRA INNINGS
-CLOSERS WHO CAN'T CLOSE. I may never stand up and shooout ever again.
-VIRTUAL WAITING ROOMS.
-TBS ANNOUNCERS.
-SNOW IN OCTOBER

Now. Back to Cabrera. Does he remind anyone else of a dirty, but cute, chihuahua? The kind that jumps on you and yelps and wants to eat Taco Bell all the time.
