There are many different aspects of my personality that are so male. Thankfully, I've never been attracted to women or anything like that, but watching Utah kill Alabama tonight brought out the MAN in me!! I do know why my male side is so strong; I have two brothers, 10 years my elder, who I always looked up to, and lived alone with my dad from the time I was 14. Most of my closest friends in school were always guys because I was naturally more comfortable around them...Less DRAMA...I'm not good with drama even today, but I'm working on my empathetic side. Anyways...Being a married woman I've had to learn to like associating with women because the "guys" all have wives now, and hey...I'm married to the best guy I know, and I have 4 kids, and I am a girl after all! But I still need male athletic competition...both playing, and watching on TV. I love watching UFC, basketball, and football. I just saved up my side-cash and bought my husband a big screen TV so HE can watch HIS stuff, and every time my husband talks about having the cable turned off, I convince him HE will miss all of HIS games. Tonight I must confess...I bought the big screen TV for all the big games, and rock band, because I love them. I don't want him to turn off cable because I will miss all the big games...Like the one tonight when UTAH KILLED ALABAMA!!!! I will also confess I jump off the couch, scream, and give my husband high fives. I didn't invite friends over for the game tonight because I didn't want to have to worry about more kids, and chatting with other women because I just wanted to watch the game...You know...the Sugar Bowl where my husband's team made all the pre-game commentators look like idiots because they worked Alabama so bad!!!!!!!!! So this post is dedicated to my "guy" side, with a big Utah "Heck yeah!" for the Utes!!!!

Go Utes!!!!!

Having a the "guy" come out in ya seems like bliss - enjoy a game, get caught up in, harmless fun - no girlie drama. Sounds like a good time to me!

All the drama in my house comes from my son! I don't deal with it very well, either.

So glad you got to enjoy your "guy" side. Niether of us are into sports here, but we're noticing that we might have to get into it 'cause one of our girls is VERY athletic. Anyhoo, nice story.

I absolutely LOVED the game and would have enjoyed watching it with you without all the kids. We had a babysitter watch ours during the game...very smart, I know. It is interesting what things inspire you to blog....

You are way to fuuny! That was a great game!

I am sorry I cannot connect with you on the passion for watching sports. If my boys are not playing I have little intrest watching. But I love that you are so real, and who you are makes you so awesome. I think your husband is one lucky guy to be able to have a sporty girl sitting/watching by his side. P.S. I looked for you after sacrament meeting, sorry I missed you. Good to see you though.

All I can say is....GOOOOO UTES! The game was AWESOME!

You deserved to be cheering at the game with me. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I feel so bad we did;t get to see each other more over the holidays. It is hard when my real family gets in the way of being with my adopted family! But it was good to see you and help Julie make her stockings! love you. Really when is this girls trip we keep talking about!?!
