champion weekend | good.random.fun ...

GOOD 

 Marshall won their first Conference USA championship despite themselves, poor officiating, and nasty weather.

I am currently wearing the scarlet letter of fan shame
because I retreated to the car at the beginning of the second half of the game.
Despite my husband's optimistic weather forecast, the rain wasn't letting up and I could no longer feel my toes. 

 Wet and Cold -
this old body is no longer built for that kind of endurance.   

RANDOM 

Ike has treated the tree with a little more respect this year, 

or at least he has when I'm in the room. 

(honestly, provided I don't come home to a downed tree, that is good enough for me)

FUN:

I'm not a huge fan of office parties;
generally speaking, they are more often than not much-ado-about ...

making small talk with those you barely squeak out a 'hello' to on a good day; 

the awkward conversation with that guy you have no idea who he is

("yes, it is so great to see you again"  ....... have we EVER met?);

talking with your comrades over music you would normally lecture your teenage child to "turn it down!";

trying hard to not roll your eyes at the 'over-the-top' behavior of some;
that office comedian who shouldn't give up their day job quite yet;

and don't get me started on the crowd that takes on an open bar like it is a challenge.

oy!

But the food

especially the simple cookies following an opulent meal

well,
now that is fun.

I'm a fan of simple!
