It all began about 12 weeks ago with the introduction of the Weekly Football Pool at work. $5 gets you in. I won week 2 (with some suggestion, from said attempted murder above). I, without the help of the murder remained in the pool lead as #2 & #3 for the next 7 weeks. I didn't play the week Chicago had a bi-week. Just my rule. Always has been, always will be. It has always been down to me and 2 other peeps with the point spread being the decider.
This past week I was pressured into making my pics, as it was Thursday and there was a game. I was pressured into choosing my husbands picks as well. I caved. I picked. I paid. I then called my husband to inform him of the picks HE had made !!!! He requested that I change 4. I only changed 3. Which, made him lose 1 less game than he actually did !!!! Yes, I am that good folks.
Chicago choked on me. ( I will never go against my boys unless F*&^ing Grossman is starting)
The only other game I lost was Dallas. Darn Cowpiles anyway !!!!!! So it came down to Monday nights game. I, out of the 3 of us, was the only one to choose Cleveland. I got ridiculed for picking like a woman. I got trash talked something fierce. Let me just say that I am seriously LOVING me some Brady Quinn !!!!!!! Ha ha ha you doubty mustafas !!!!!
I won !!!! I won for the 2nd time !!!! I won $90 !!!!! For the 2nd time !!!!! I rock, I rock....oh yeah....oh yeah !!!!!
Oh yeah, my dream !!!!! My dream was a thing of beauty. I was placed in the center of Soldier Field (Bears home field). I had the 1985-86 Chicago Bears all around me. McMahon (loved me some McMahon back in the day), Payton, Gayle, Hampton, Dent, Singleterry, Fencik, The Fridge and let me not forget DITKA !!!!!
It was awesome, they were giving me LIFETIME tickets on the 50 yard line for EVERY Chicago game !!! For life. Did I mention it was for life ?!?!? It was awesome and it was all because of my mad mad football pool picking skills !!!!!
The crowd was cheering. Confetti was falling. We were all doing the Superbowl Shuffle !!!!!
And then it happened !!!!!!! I opened my mouth to yell !!!! And it was filled with confetti and I couldn't breath !!!! I started to sputter and cough.
I sat up, ripping my sleeping mask off. Reaching out in front of me. Like that would help me get air. Then my husband pulled away the comforter he had "accidently" thrown across my face. I was all..."What the HE....double hockey sticks ?!?!?!"
"I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean to, go back to sleep"
GO BACK TO SLEEP ?!?!? Are you kidding me ?!?!? You just ruined a perfectly good dream i said, crawling out of bed to use the restroom. And don't think I'm going to forget that you just tried to KILL ME !!!!!!
Man he needs to go back to work...............he's getting on my LAST nerve !!!!!!!
So I will end with this lovely little nugget.................
