Let's rewind back four years. Almost exactly.
I'm at the CSM library. Surfing the internet between classes, probably trying to work on homework that was bound to be turned in late. A skinny boy with dirty hair sits next to me and suddenly, I am alert.
I had seen this boy before and was interested.
Long story short, I waited for him to leave, got on his computer, checked the history of sites he had visited, and ended up with his screen name. IMed him that night. Started daaaaating.
FAST FORWARD A YEAR. (So now, it's three years ago.)
Things at home are getting unbearable. I move in with the boyfriend. A month or two later, we break up.
Another year goes by... Suddenly, it's August 2006! And I'm bffs with the ex boyfriends family. They start talking about fantasy football, and football in general.. I (not wanting to be left out) say hey guys, include me in this (even though I DESPISED football). So they're like sure, and I play in my first fantasy football league.... and I do my first weekly game winner pickings... and SUDDENLY, I LOVE FOOTBALL. I was addicted, checking scores of games on my cell phone at work.. calling people on my break to see if my team was winning.. oh man, it was bad.
and now, here we are today. I still love football. I don't work Sundays anymore, just because I can't stand to miss football. I think it's funny how I went from not caring about football whatsoever to not being able to stand missing it.
Ok so that brings me to the events of today. My fantasy team won last week. So that was lovely. We did a live draft.. I got second pick. I WISH I HADN'T GOTTEN SECOND PICK. I wanted Peyton Manning, but everyone was like, omg, Ashley, if you don't pick Adrian Peterson you're an idiot..... and deep down I knew they were right, so I picked Adrian Peterson. When it was my turn again, Peyton had been picked, of course.... so I got Brandon Jacobs. And then I thought Carson Palmer would be a decent QB.... so I got him third.
It was the biggest mistake of my life. Ok maybe not quite that bad, but come on.... .78 points in week 1 and NEGATIVE 1. something in week 2?! COME ON. I am still so angry, I want to smack him.
Needless to say, my fantasy team lost this week. (Congratulations to the ex-boyfriend mentioned above, Jordy, for beating me!! haha)
On a brighter note, I picked the most winners right this week! and the Redskins and Colts won, so I'm stoked about that.
lol.. anyway. besides all that.. let's see, what has happened since my last post.. Amber and I took Gray back to Grammies.. and cut his hair.. which was amusing.. Amber did most of the cutting because I was afraid. then we took him to the Metro so he could go back to school.. Amber and I went back and watched EVER AFTER.. and that was lovely.. I went home.. went to sleep, woke up today and went back over there.. watched the Redskins.. then we watched You've Got Mail.. which was lovely as well.. Amber left, I waited for her to get back, she got back, and we watched old Elite Studioz videos, which are always good for laughs. Oh! and we got VOLCANO TACOS! haha. Daryl got home from Tara's, Amber went to bed, we watched football highlights, and I came home! and now I'm updating my blog! yay.
I do not work today. I need to go to the gym. Oh yeah, gas went up like 30 cents. What the crap? uggghh. and what's up with it being so freaking hot this weekend?! It's September!! Bring on the cold!
