10 Things I Love About Football

Football

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.

  1. I love that guys are always shocked when the find out that I love football.
  2. 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.
  3. 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)
  4. I loving being able to watch players I have watched since they were in college make in the NFL.
  5. I love the rivalries that happen between people because of the teams they like to watch.
  6. 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.
  7. Football makes me like fall because it is the only good thing about fall.
  8. 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.
  9. It reminds me of my childhood because I grew up watching football with my grandparents.
  10. 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.

6 Reasons I Am Looking Forward To Fall

6 Reasons. . .

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

  1. 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.
  2. Fall time means that it is time for football again and everyone who read’s me regularly knows how much I love everything football.
  3. I love the foods that my grandma tends to make in fall like Chili and those types of foods.
  4. The 3rd book in the Divergent series comes out on October 22 I believe it is.
  5. My shows start with new episodes which is always a good thing because I am so tired of watching reruns of all my shows.
  6. 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?

I Always Wanted To Be . . . 21

21

This week for the writers workshop I am going to be talking about the age I always wanted to be.  As long as I can remember I wanted to be 21 because I figured that once I was 21 I could do everything so there was no reason to get any older.  Now that I am almost 29 I still want to only be 21.

Best part of me wanting to be 21 was that when I turned 21 I didn’t drink in fact I didn’t drink until I was 22 and now I still don’t really drink because I hate the taste and I hate the way it makes me feel.  To this day I am not sure why I wanted to be 21 but I did.  I still remember my birthday that year because it was a few months after I had my daughter and it was still a rough time for me.

It is crazy to me how everyone always wants to be different ages.  One of my old friends always wanted to be 22 and she was never sure why.  I have to wonder what makes us want to be certain ages and what not.

What age did you always want to be?

Brave

I few weeks ago one of the prompts for the Writers Workshop was to write a post about the word brave.  I figured the first thing I would do is give you the definition of the word and then go into what the word means to me:

brave [breɪv] adj

1. having or displaying courage, resolution, or daring; not cowardly or timid

The word brave is something people say to be because of parts of my past but I don’t think of myself that way.  I have always felt I just did what I know I had to do.  Now the choices I have made were hard but because I chose them doesn’t make me brave at least not in my eyes.

I think that people who stand up for others are brave or people who do what is right to them even though their family and friends may not agree with them.  I think kids who are fighting cancer are brave because I don’t think I could deal with everything they go through and still be able to smile.  I think of the women in other countries who are fighting to have the same basic rights as men have. That is what brave means to me.

What does brave mean to you?

Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned

Last week one of the prompts for the writers workshop what about lessons that I have learned.  I really like this topic so I figured I would write about it today and let everyone know some of the lessons I have learned.

  1. I have learned that if something can go wrong it probably will go wrong.
  2. I never say “it  can’t get any worse” because trust me it will probably get worse.
  3. Things always seem to happen in sets of 3.
  4. People somehow know when you are having a bad day and do everything they can to get on your nerves.
  5. If I have a book review due and I haven’t started on the book yet I will get a migraine making me want to just kill myself as I am trying to read the book.
  6. Cops are the worst drivers.
  7. I always find something to laugh about when I am having a bad day because laughing is better than crying.
  8. Don’t give into people who just want to argue with you.  The one thing I learned from my ex husband was to just stare at the person who is pissed off and that is better than stooping down to their level.
  9. Always try to look on the positive side of things in your life.
  10. Don’t let total strangers get to you when they say mean things about you or to you.  If you don’t know the person than they don’t know you and since they don’t know you what they are saying isn’t true.
  11. Keep your friends and family close because you will need them.

Those are 11 things I have learned that I figured I would share with you.  What lesson have you learned that you would add to this list if you could?
