Something to Pass the Time

Something fun to play online with friends on Facebook or via your mobile phone when your man is obsessing about his fantasy team(s).  It's pretty addicting so watch out. If you want to play with me you can search me by my screen name: ashleymetz.

One Down...

If today is any indication of what's to come...I'm in trouble.  Today was my husbands first fantasy draft for team #1 and I actually heard him say "I can't help it babe if I'm the football Guru and everyone wants my advice."  That was his explanation as to why his phone was blowing up numerous times throughout the day.  I swear...we couldn't even do a simple task as buying groceries without someone calling to talk "strategy."  Seriously?  Then, even after the draft was over he has to "talk it out" with his friend on the phone as they try to convince each other that their teams aren't shitty.  Sigh.  I need to start making a list of things I can do to survive this football season...especially Sundays. 

Let's Get One Thing Straight

So evidently the Bears game starts in about an hour so I will yet again loose my husband to the T.V.  To quote my husband directly, "Pre-season football is lame as hell.  I only watch the first quarter to see how the players are playing."  Then why do we have to watch it?  Well...this apparently has a DRAMATIC affect on his fantasy teams.  Now, I think I need to make myself clear about something.  It's not that I hate football...I hate fantasy football.  I really don't mind sitting and watching a football game, especially a live game.  My problem is, I can never just sit and watch A game, it's more like 10 games at one time.  He spends so much time flipping back and forth between channels or watching the NFL Redzone.  Which, for the record, that channel is crazy.  I feel like I'm gong to have a seizure after about 2 minutes.  It's perfect if you have ADD, which basically, all men have.  Anyway, I'm glad that I'm not stuck at home while he analyzes players and talks to his boyfriend about it on the phone.  Instead, I'm going to see Jim Gaffigan! 

It Has Begun...

I've been dreading this all summer long.  Pre-season games are now being aired.  It has begun ladies.  As I watched my husband go through and DVR every...single... game this weekend, I could feel the rage slowly start to build.  Really??  Is that really necessary?  And what really gets me, is that he only watches the first 30 minutes!  Okay, then why do we have to record the entire game?  Not only is this taking up an ENORMOUS amount of space but if my "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" reruns can't be recorded because of this I'm going to kill him!
