The Bulldogs won! Well, that's not news. More like "olds", right? Kurt and I had a great time at the Egg Bowl, aside from the freezing weather and losing most of the game. I spilled hot
chocolate on myself and some guy behind me also spilled coke on my hiney. But, it was all worth it when the score was 17-14 at the end. I also got to see some friends, like Becca!I thought of 2 things to add to the list of things I don't believe in:
1. Hayrides - Two words: cold and itchy! I have never understood the joy in hayrides. Please explain it to me. You pile on a trailer full of itchy, smelly, often damp hay with your peers (or younger)
and you slowly ride behind a tractor in the cold, dark night. Another bad part about it is that there are usually people stationed along the course who try to scare you, and I absolutely despise being startled. (That's for another blog entry, but Kurt can attest that I am very jumpy and I frighten easily). So, don't waste your time inviting me to a hayride. Not gonna happen. I know, you must be sorely disappointed.2. Yoo-hoo in a can - Disgusting. I was standing in the checkout
line at Sam's today and I saw Yoo-hoo in a can! I mean, what is Yoo-hoo? It's called a "chocolate drink." What is that? Chocolate-flavored what? According to yoo-hoo.com, it is an all-natural chocolate-flavored drink that cannot spoil, has 5 vitamins and minerals, is 99% fat free, and is caffeine free. I'm very impressed by that information; however, the can packaging is still gross. Carbonation usually comes in a can, not chocolate water. Count me out, Yoo-hoo.I'm going to Jackson for the day tomorrow with Barb, Bonnie, and Becky - my beach buddies. Deja Vu. Hopefully, I'll get to see some friends and do some Christmas shopping! I only have a couple of more gifts to buy. If you want to receive a Christmas card from us this year, please send me your address at martylcooper@gmail.com.
It is such a good time to be a Bulldog, isn't it? We also have been reveling in the victory and would have loved to be there...
ReplyDeleteOkay, I totally agree about Yoo-hoo. I do not have lots of experience with the chocolate drink, but I have tried it and thought it was disgusting. Sorry to those who love it, but I definitely did NOT (and there aren't too many chocolate things in this world I don't like).
We would love a Christmas card. I think you have our address though because we got one last year...
I LOVE HAY RIDES! I always thought the fun of it was being out in the night country air piled into a wagon, wrapped up in blankets with your friends and possibly boyfriend or wanna be boyfriend riding though the country gazing at the stars and singing. Then making a bond fire and sitting around it roasting marshmallows and telling stories. In fact I wish I could go on one this weekend. If anyone is having one please invite me.
