Another College Blog

So for work, I wore my first two costumes although the race car driver was actually taken in September when it was warmer and I could get away with dressing like that outside. Unlike Mom's we had to not only dress for Halloween, we had to go all out.  Since it's a sports bar, we were encouraged to pick something that would fit a sports theme.  I am not done.  There is one costume I'm begging and pleading with Mia not to make me wear, but a few others that are pretty bad as well.  We have multiple parties scheduled from tonight through Saturday.  Of course, I'm not supposed to wear the same costume twice.

Today was supposed to be about football, camaraderie, and perhaps a few laughs over beers. Instead, it turned into a day of personal humiliation for me and all Bears fans. If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you know I can only watch football wearing a cheerleading uniform. The game itself was a disaster. It's the same old Bears though this year was supposed to be different. More than just about any other fan, the cheerleading thing give me a real stake in the Bears doing well. This one was a bit different because we had the girls over so there were 4 girls plus Fiona watching with me and of course the girls loved watching me do cheers. Fortunately, both offenses sucked so I didn't have to cheer too often.  

  This was a tough weekend.  We went shopping the whole time and I'm currently watching the Bears get their butt kicked by the Packers while I wear my brand new cheerleading outfit, but I totally dodged a bullet.  Mia made a "bet" with me that if her Raiders beat the Cardinals, I would have to be her maid for a week.  I put "bet" in quotes because usually a bet gives both sides something if they win.  Anyway, the Cardinals had an amazing comeback and tied the game up on the last play of the game and then won it in overtime with a defensive touchdown when the Raiders were threatening to score. I got my reprieve and Mia was pissed. As I said, it was a weekend of shopping.  I wasn't happy about it.  We bought me a lot of new things and it was pretty embarrassing.  I was allowed to go in my boy clothes, but that meant trying stuff on without makeup on looking like an obvious guy.  I got a manicure complete with polish and spent about $118 of my o...

  I have been dying for the NFL to start, but in order to watch the Bears game today, I had to agree to shave my legs, let them do my nails and makeup for the day, post a selfie of me smiling and wearing Ashleigh's old cheerleader uniform. I could complain, but I wanted to see this game enough to do it. The only thing that's driving me crazy is Dave and I are watching in the room and he keeps looking over at me like I'm crazy.

That's Paige, one of the girls who is determined to do my hair.  She's insane just like the others are, but she knows football and I had hoped to watch the Nebraska-Northwestern game with her today.  Unfortunately, those girls have a one track mind so I had to avoid her and watched with Dave in our room instead. He thinks that those girls are going to cause me all sorts of problems if I don't give them what I want, but there's just no way that's happening. One problem with drinking heavily during the week is it was hard to find too much to do tonight.  I'm actually thinking I'll be in bed tonight before midnight.
