Texas Longhorns Rose Bowl Championship Game
Yeah, that's right...my beloved college football ends tonight with my beloved Longhorns playing in the Championship Game...the tv coverage in Austin is crazy, there are parties everywhere, but we are staying home and watching it on our groovy tv we bought last year...its very vibrant and it feels like you're looking out the window when you're watching shows on it...in fact, yesterday our cable provider gave us 3 new HD channels, one is all about how the wealthy live, and its kinda interesting and frightening at the same time...I can't imagine paying zillions of dollars for stuff, and here these folks just toss it around w/out having worked a day for it - like that freak Paris Hilton...
when I was coming back from Italy last year, I spent the night in England, and tried not to stay at the Hilton just because I knew my $400 would go to Paris Hilton's dog's new collar or something equally as infuriating...but alas, the Hyatt was double the price and all the rooms were booked (perhaps they had the same feeling as me!)...the hotel was wonderful, it was a treat to see English tv and commercials again, but I don't want to watch her or any of those other wealthy kids frolick on million dollar yachts that their hard working great grandfathers built for them...boo...
I sound sour, but in fact I'm in a great mood...one of my roses is flowering, each day it opens a little more...I spent the morning watering the front lawn, and plucking no less than 40! caterpillars off the passion vine (I counted)...I just plucked a bunch off on Monday - i think they are crawling back on..I don't have the heart to squash or kill them, so its kinda a game - if you can make your way back to the vine, you get to live another day...like Caterpillar Survivor!!
So tonight, those screams you hear will be me cheering on the team...last night I watched that Orange Bowl - went into 3 overtimes..I was glad to see Joe Paterno win, I think he's a class act...and tonight will be a rolicking good time...I can't wait!! Hook 'Em!!!

Have fun Donna, we'll be here at home in Indiana watching the game too, DH wouldn't have it any other way! He's having a fit we can't get to a Bears playoff game, but hey we got 2 1/2 year old triplets and lucky to have money for diapers, LOL! I loved that coach that won last nite, he's 79 years old! Totally amazing to me!
