FOOTBALL – The World As I See It

10 Things I Love About Football (American Football)

October 18, 2016

This was a prompt from the writer’s workshop a few weeks ago and because I am a huge football fan I knew I wanted to write about it. Here are ten things that I love about football.

10- Men in tight pants . . . Need I say more?!?!

9- Another thing that I love about football is the fact that I can just have it on in the background and not have to worry about missing something if I am blogging or what not during a game.

8- I love that most of the games are on the weekends so that I don’t have to miss most of them because of work and not wanting to stay up all night.

7- I love watching when my team comes back at the end of the game to win after they have been down the entire game.

6- On Friday one of my teams ended up winning the game in double overtime so you are on the end of your seat watching and hoping that you will pull out a win.

5- I love that you can meet total strangers and feel like you have so much in common with them because you both like the same team or your teams are playing each other so you can trash talk and just have fun.

4-It makes me happy to watch. There isn’t much more I can say other than watching football makes me happy.

3- I love being able to follow players as they get traded and see how better they get when they go to a different team with a new dynamic.

2- I love watching players that I started following in college football moving to the NFL and seeing how the have grown up and seen how good they have become when they do get to the NFL.

1- The number one thing that I love about footballs is the look on people’s face’s when I talk to them for the first time about football. They are always so shocked that I know what I am talking about and that always makes me smile.

Those are ten things that I love about football. I am sure there are many more things that I will think of once I hit publish so maybe one day I will come back and do an updated one. The one thing that I don’t like about football is how five minutes can take a half hour to get through.

What is one thing you love about football?

What To Do?

October 10, 2014

It is fall in Utah which means it will soon be snowing. I saw a prompt that asked what I did on a dark and stormy day and I figured it would be a good topic to write about because that type of weather will soon be taking over in Utah. There aren’t a ton of things that I do when it is storming out but a few things that I really do enjoy doing.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this prompt was I love to watch football when it is stormy and nasty out. I don’t think there are many things better than curling up and watching a good football game when it is cold and nasty out. On with that theme I also love to just put on a good movie or even watch reruns of my favorite shows curled up in bed. I love not having to go out and being able to watch it storm and be warm and comfortable in my house watching TV.

The only other thing that I really love doing when it is storming is to get whatever book I am reading and find a warm spot to sit and finish the book. I love being able to read books when it is gross outside because I can read about warm places and forget for a while that it is snowing and freezing outside for a little while. I also have started to love listening to audiobooks because there are days where my head hurts so bad that I can’t read but being able to listen to an audiobook is great for passing the time as well.

Those are a few things that I love to do when it is stormy and gross out. What do you like to do when it is storming outside?

This weeks for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 3 which is: 10 things you love about football. I am sure most of you know that I love football so this one was for me. Lets get on to the the 10 things I love about football.

I love that guys are always shocked when the find out that I love football.
I love that it gives me something to watch on the weekends. Since I watch both college & NFL I almost always have a game on during the weekend.
I like the fact that the guys were tight pants and run around the field. (That is such a chick reason to like football lol)
I loving being able to watch players I have watched since they were in college make in the NFL.
I love the rivalries that happen between people because of the teams they like to watch.
I love how there are some games that come down to last few minutes of the game. I love being on the edge of my seat and wondering who is going to win the game.
Football makes me like fall because it is the only good thing about fall.
I love it because it is the only sport that makes sense to me. I am not sure why this is but it makes the most sense in my head.
It reminds me of my childhood because I grew up watching football with my grandparents.
It gives me something to talk about with the guys I work with.

Those are just a few reasons why I like football and they are in no particular order.

Nails Of The Month ~ University Of Utah Football Nails

September 16, 2013

I really love my nails this month because they are something I have never done before and they are also fun now that it is football season for me. This time I decided to do University of Utah inspired nails because that is my favorite college team and strange enough I have never done anything like them before. Here are pictures of what they look like:

I have to say my favorite thing about these nails are the footballs. I have never seen anything like them before. I am pretty sure I am going to do something for the Ravens this winter so when I do I will make sure I blog about them.

What do you think? Do you have any ideas for next time?

6 Reasons I Am Looking Forward To Fall

September 12, 2013

This week for the Writers Workshop I am going to write about about 6 reasons I am looking forward to fall this year.

First I am so ready for the hot weather to be gone and for it cool down. It has been so super hot all summer and I am so over the heat and how it makes me feel.
Fall time means that it is time for football again and everyone who read’s me regularly knows how much I love everything football.
I love the foods that my grandma tends to make in fall like Chili and those types of foods.
The 3rd book in the Divergent series comes out on October 22 I believe it is.
My shows start with new episodes which is always a good thing because I am so tired of watching reruns of all my shows.
The leaves changing colors. I don’t usually go and look at them but I love to look up at the mountains and see them changing colors. There is just something pretty about fall in Utah.

Those are 6 reasons that I am looking forward to fall this year. Why are you looking forward to fall?
