promotional consideration for this blog post furnished by applebee's


In high school and college I couldn't sit through four quarters of football, but currently I can't seem to get my Friday Night Lights fix fast enough. I know, I know—I'm late for the party. But here are my pressing thoughts as I begin season three—no spoilers, please.

-Tami Taylor is my life coach.
-Robbie claims to not have the patience for the show, yet he has his own nickname for Tim Riggins—Big Rig.
-Season one: Matt Saracen!!! Season two: Matt Saracen??!! Season three: Welcome back, Matt Saracen.
-Is every play in football "blue 80"? Is that even what he is calling out?
-As pointed out by my coworker Elyse, I'm happy that they cast a weird-looking child as Grace Taylor. It makes the family more real.
-I wish that Julie Taylor was also not the name of one of my good real-life friends, because fictional Julie Taylor is an idiot.
-How is the quesadilla burger at Applebee's?

List of things on my mind

1. I love playing the "last year at this time, we were..." game. Robbie and I were reminiscing last night about snowmageddon, which was simultaneously awesome and boring. I still wish that we could have another city shutdown for a week. Is it too late for that?

2. That being said, I wish that spring would just come already. I guess it's a matter of extremes--I'd rather it be cold while we're snowed in instead of just being bitter cold with no snow, or just be warm and springy. But today it's supposed to get up to 50 so I'm happy with that.

3. The new job is going pretty well. I'm the project manager for an exhibit opening in GW's library at the beginning of April. So it's relevant to my schooling, I work fewer hours, I have an insane amount of responsibility and "expertise" (which I'm still getting used to), and as mentioned, I has an office:


The view from my office, ironically enough, is directly into the building that I used to work in. Hahaha. Same floor and everything. But I really really love having a window. It's so luxurious.

4. With the flexibility of my job, however, I am having a hard time getting motivated to get other things done. I took Friday off (because I COULD!) and I caught up on making appointments (I need a haircut in a bad way) and other slightly necessary things, but I don't really care to do other things that matter, like homework. I have been doing pretty well at making it to my office before 10 am, but please tell me,  dear readers: how do you get motivated to get on task?

5. Oh yes. And last night we watched the Super Bowl at the Taylors' new digs. And none of us care at all about football. I am still kind of amazed that we made it through the whole second half (we started watching at the terrible halftime show). At one point Robbie said (in all seriousness), "If the Steelers just get one more home run, then they'll win!" I'm a lucky lady to have found a man who cares less about football than I do.
