The crappy weather followed me to Houston. It's true. I'm sorry. Today was windy and chilly, so I parked my behind inside my dad's house and caught up on the shows that my dvr in Dallas forgot to record. My dvr is really to blame. I had the timers set and everything. It's the box, I promise. They've offered to replace it at least 4 times, but I can't ever get caught up enough to just let them replace it.
That was entirely TMI about my dvr woes.
My dad, sister, and I hung out tonight. My Seester is feeling quite puny, and came to my dad's equipped with her own private arsenal of cold combatants. I felt so sad for her: sneezing and hand washing, only to sneeze again and have to restart the entire process. We went out to grab some pizza before the Tech game started, and I have to say...it was one of the best veggie pizzas I've had in a long time. I can't wait to try to "freethrow" tomorrow. It had meat on it, and looked super yummy, too.
We got back to my dad's just in time for the game. As I'm typing this, it hasn't ended yet...so I'm on the edge of my seat. It's been quite the game: penalties, bad sportsmanship on both sides, and has anyone else noticed that the Minnesota coach actually looks like he's a gopher when he gets pissed? It's pretty funny to watch.
And, while we're on the subject, what's up with McCoy and Hicks being stupid? I'm a little irritated that two individuals who are supposedly moral and decent are the subject of investigation and are no longer bowl eligible. It's too bad...but it just goes to show you that choices matter. They willingly made a collective poor choice, and they won't be the only ones who suffer the consequences. It's a shame.
Enough about football. Yeah, I really just typed that. I could go on and on about football, and how it will be SO much fun to watch Tech football next season. All I have to say is good choice on the head coach selection. He will make watching the sidelines MUCH more interesting, I believe. I also believe I'm not alone on this one.
My dad, Seester, and I did a mini-Christmas together tonight. I had already opened my presents from my sister at the beginning of December, but my dad hadn't. I also brought presents from my mom to my sister (TOUCHDOWN TECH!!!) and my dad. My dad got a Christmas puzzle from my mom (which my sister and I will more than likely complete at some point), a gel mat for his kitchen from my sister & brother-in-law, and original artwork (complete with frame and mat) from each of the boys. My sister got a bunch of good stuff: a cookbook she wanted, "It's a Wonderful Life" on dvd, a Christmas puzzle (do you see a trend here?), a collapsible colander, and a little bell (think hotel front desk "Ring Bell for Service") among other things. I got a bird weight for pie baking, that allows the steam to escape...and a Keurig from my dad! Oh, happy day!
I don't drink coffee everyday, so I find it somewhat silly to make coffee in my 12 cup coffee maker. Now, I don't have to! I'm so thrilled! I've wanted a Keurig practically forever, and when I moved into my apartment in June, I started lobbying for one. My dad told me to have patience, and I did...I just started going to Starbucks instead of making my own. I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore.
And tomorrow, I can make (INTERCEPTION TECH IN FIELD GOAL RANGE!!!!!!!) each of us our own flavor of coffee if I so desire. And I might desire. Also, I'm compiling a list of things to do with my dad tomorrow. It mostly consists of running errands and getting stuff.
I might even shoot his pellet gun tomorrow. That's something that should strike a bit of fear in anyone who knows me at all. Aubrey with any sort of weapon? Scary stuff.
I intend to take my dad to get his own Starbucks syrup tomorrow. He used mine when I brought it down in November, and I can't get the lid off to use it. Sad. Also, I need a little basket thingy for my Keurig so I can use the rest of my coffee that I have open right now. It's Vanilla Coconut Macaroon or something like that, and it's super delicious. I haven't seen "Trouble with the Curve" yet, and so I think (FIELD GOAL TECH!!! WRECK 'EM!) we'll go buy that tomorrow so we can watch it. I redboxed it, but still haven't watched it. And I love a good baseball movie. And a good pair of baseball pants. And...it's almost time!
My sister mentioned (to my dad) that she and I should go see George Strait at the Houston Rodeo this year since it's his last tour...ever. I don't think my dad was impressed with our reasoning, but it has become our (my) goal in life to make this happen. We went to see him together when Texas Stadium was still "alive" and Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw had just been arrested for stealing a cop's horse in New York. Ahhh, the good ol' days. Seriously, though. How fun would that be?! It has to happen...it just HAS to!
I would argue that George Strait is the reason I started listening to country music...and one of the many reasons why I still absolutely love it. But, y'all? I really love Dustin Lynch right now, too. I was listening to him on my iPod this afternoon, and was practically crying. And speaking of crying...my sister and I were trying to make each other cry by watching super adorable lip sync proposals on youtube.
Creative points, for sure!
