Proud to be a Tiger

My heart is still pounding with excitement from last night's football game.  Oh my gosh, MU beat OU who was ranked number one.  It is a great day to be a Tiger.  I was so excited through the whole game.  I screamed out several times.  The game started out great and I don't think there was one moment of rest for the Tiger fans.  I am sooooooo glad that it was on TV prime time.  I would hate to think about missing this game.  Steve stayed up through most of the game.  He fought fatigue and his eyes would close, and he would struggle to keep them open.  Of course, when he did doze, I usually woke him with an excited cheer or an ecstatic giggle.  I loved when the field was covered in gold at the end of the game. To celebrate, I am going to wear black sweats and a gold Mizzou t-shirt.  It will cost me a jean day pass, but it will be worth it to show my school spirit.  I have many OU fans in my classes.  I won't have to bring it up if I wear the shirt.  They will know my feelings.  I don't believe in rubbing it in because "what goes around, comes around" and things always seem to bite me in the butt.

It has been rough for him even though he tries to be tough.  He has been extremely tired.  He did not wake up until 9:00 or so this morning.  I fixed some breakfast, but it did not set well with him.  He went to rest after breakfast and watched, for the millionth time, American Picker reruns.  I couldn't take one more viewing so I worked on a purse.  He woke up and we visited for a while.  We didn't eat lunch since we had a late breakfast.  I put a roast in the Crockpot along with potatoes and carrots.  I watched Hairspray and part of 9 to 5 while he took an afternoon rest.  He woke up about halfway through the last movie and paid bills.  After that, he was hungry.  He did not eat any roast, but opted for his old favorite, Ramen.  I had roast and it was good.  After dinner we watched more TV.  We watched Mel Gibson in Braveheart and now we are watching Gladiator.  This should last us until bedtime.

Aubree came home from Cody's and was so excited to show us her piggy bank that she and Opa painted on Wednesday in Aurora at a pottery shop.  The pig is really cute.  It is light blue with orange polka dots.  She came and sat with Opa and loaded her new bank with his stash of pennies.  I'll bet she now has about $5.00 in that bank.  She could barely carry it down the stairs.  This is a big deal because Opa does not part with his change very often.  I told her how lucky she was.  She went downstairs to take a bath, but came right back up to show off her Halloween outfit.  She is going to be Tinkerbell.  Her outfit is darling.  I will post pictures next weekend.  She will be back shortly to deliver kisses before going to bed.  She always smells so good when she comes to give kisses.  She has school tomorrow and must go to bed early so she is not cranky and able to learn.

Tomorrow, Steve will go back to his parent's house.  I thought he might stay home, but this afternoon he got to feeling poorly and decided that it might be best if he stayed with them.  I think he wants whatever his mom fixes for breakfast and lunch.  He sure does like to be spoiled.  Believe me, they do that.
