Who Is This New Woman?

And what did she do to the old Tamara?

I cried last night.
Real tears and it was all I could do NOT to start sobbing.

Why?

Tennessee lost…and now they’re out of the running for the Superbowl.

Huh?  What?

That’s right, I cried over a football team losing.

It’s not that I lost the bet with Chris.  He could bite it tonight if the Steelers lose.  It’s that it’s like, well, the last of my good dreams has been shattered.

See?  As I mentioned before?  I never even liked football…didn’t really know too much about it except it was a bunch of grown men, getting paid ludicrous amounts of money to run around a field chasing a ball and beating each other up. 

Then I had a weird dream, pre season, that the Tennessee Titan’s won the Superbowl.  Huh?  I had never even really heard of the Titans and when I told anyone?  They laughed me out of the room because evidently prior to this year the Titan’s were one of the worst teams in the sport.  Well, people stopped laughing when they started winning all of their regular season games. 

Then I got Brian involved with pee wee football coaching and one small boy’s love and dedication, talent and drive made me fall in love with the game and I began my own football pool with my male friends.  Yes, you read that right – me, little ole me, silly female, started her own football pool.  For smack talking rights only.  But week after week I’d kick ass picking the right teams winning.  Really, my record was stellar.  *grins*  Some of my male friends consulted with me for their fantasy football teams and made a lot of points or whatnot based on my advice and picks.  🙂

I know this is ridiculous and makes no sense to anyone but me probably.  But see?  Every time I’d have a weird, out of the norm dream like that?  It would ALWAYS ALWAYS come out true.  But not this time.  🙁  But now they’re out because of their loss last night to the Ravens and I cried…and it’s because I feel as if there goes an end of a personal era for me.  No more dreams of mine will come true.  That’s how I read last night’s loss in relation to my wacky pre-season dream.

*sigh*

My SB bet is lost…and now I need the Steelers to bite it tonight so Chris’ doesn’t win our SB bet…if he does?  I am shelling out for one hell of an expensive lobster dinner.

BITE IT TONIGHT STEELERS!!!  (Sorry in advance to any fans of the Steelers for this…it’s nothing personal, I actually think Big Ben is an awesome dude…but I can’t lose to Chris.  Just can’t!)
