In case you're new here, I'll let you in on a little secret: I love professional football. Football season is my second favorite time of year. (What's first? My birthday of course!!! :)) I'm a lifelong Redskins fan mixed in with a bit of Steelers love due to the fact that my parents are from Pittsburgh...we had some great Steelers Super Bowl parties when I was a kid. I had a brief flirtation with the '85 Chicago Bears (see McMahon, Jim) but pretty much bleed burgundy and gold. Then a now ex boyfriend taught me about fantasy football and an obsession was born.
I am now in 3 fantasy leagues. One for big money, one for small money and one for no money.
Tonite I had my draft for League No Money. I was pretty unprepared for this draft and since my money leagues draft next week, I'll consider this my "practice draft".
In this league we start 1 QB, 3 WR, 1 RB, 1 TE, 1 flex WR/RB, 1 K and 1 DEF.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce you to Team MamaRockerBitch:
QB: Peyton Manning, Brett Favre
RB: Clinton Portis, Reggie Bush, Chris Brown, Justin Fargas
WR: Santonio Holmes, Jerrico Cotchery, Reggie Brown, Amani Toomer, DJ Hackett, Darrell Jackson
TE: Chris Cooley, LJ Smith
K: Shayne Graham
D: Green Bay Packers
(I had the 10th pick of a 10 team draft so I drafted back to back each round. I swear by mid draft I was just picking people and trying not to screw myself during bye weeks. Still not an awful team. It just depends how I can work waivers during the season....)
Spam has made me promise him that we'll play each other in the finals. And no matter who wins, I buy him dinner. I'm not so sure that's fair though. ;)

Pissed Off
Maybe that should be Pissed On. You see, Izzy peed in my bed yesterday. I guess a dog peeing someplace they shouldn't isn't completely out of the ordinary. But my dog is 2 1/2 and completely housebroken and papertrained. She is also crated when I'm not at home because a bored bulldog is a destructive bulldog. However, when I'm going to be gone for a long period of time and can't find anyone to watch her, I gate her in my bedroom. She has lots of room to hang out plus plenty of food and water and puppy pads for when nature calls.
This past weekend, I went to the Virgin Festival. I found out late in the week that I was definately going Saturday. And then even later that I could go Sunday after I got off work. Saturday passed without incident. She slept all day and used her puppy pads and all was well. But Sunday was a different story. She wasn't even alone that long on Sunday. But I guess she had had it with being home alone. I come home to a massive wet spot on the comforter. and the sheets. AND THE MATTRESS. Grrrr.
Yeah, I know. I should have had the protective waterproof mattress pad thingy on the bed. But she's housebroken! I haven't used the waterproof pad since she was a wee pup! *sigh* My mistake. But it didn't stop me from being mighty angry. One frantic call to M later and I was trying all sorts of home remedies on my poor mattress. (I'm too poor to be able to buy a new one.) And today I found a local laundromat so I can clean the comforter. Until then, I have a couple crappy blankets that I'm using.
And Izzy is no longer allowed on the bed. She wasn't too happy about sleeping on the couch last night but maybe she should have thought about that before she let it all out on my side of the bed.
More on Virgin Fest later....

Bad Blogger
Hi. Remember me? Yeah. I know. I suck as a blogger. But I have half of a really good excuse as to why I've been gone for so long. I took a really awesome 2 week vacation at the beginning of July. The first week was a cruise with my whole family. The second? A much needed "staycation" at my humble abode in Baltimore. I came back with a ton of stuff to blog about. And then? Nothing.
Those of you who know me know I'm an expert procrastinator. Add a heapin' side of lazy and there ya go. Plus,after I went back to work, all that vacation rejuvenation went right out the window.
Anyway. My point is I'm back and I'm blogging. Stop by whenever you get a chance.
