This is the season that never ends…
…Yes, it’s goes on and on my friends...the season started not knowing how it’d end…and we’ll continue playing forever just because…this is the season that never ends…
Last Thursday night, despite all the negative vibes I was deliberately sending, our Cougars won their playoff game. Tomorrow night is our next opportunity for mediocrity and hopefully the end of this horrible, no good, very bad season. That will never end.
This time I’m turning my frown upside down and sending positive vibes to the opposing team.
We’ll be playing at the fanciest of the fancy Texas high school football stadiums. Apart from the artificial turf, the ridiculous cost of parking and bands who march to Mozart, these folks are apparently too good to eat the usual concession stand staples like nachos and gigantic pickles. So they serve sushi. Seriously. I’ll try and get a picture of that for ya’ll.
Thanks for your emails of concern (or panic) about me since I’ve been absent from posting this week. I told Mrs. JT two things contributed to that but really, there are three.
1. Work has been busy. We had a dinner last night so I’ve been getting ready for that. There’ve been some long venting conversations (to me not from me) and a little IT training on MS2007 as well. All that adds up to Robin not being able to write. Boo.
2. Family is coming next week. You might have missed it with all the Christmas trees every where but Thanksgiving hasn’t actually happened yet. That’s next week. My parents, Chris’s parents and his sister are coming to spend the holiday with us. I’m thrilled because, well, I love having people over and we finally get to break in our dining room table. I’ve been cleaning, re-arranging furniture, planning menus, making multiple grocery lists and trying to come up with some activity for all of us to do. So far we know there will be some shopping and a viewing of “Dune”. Chris is thrilled. At both of those activities.
3. I have nothing funny to say. What with our infertility stuff on hold, dinners for new members of our senior management team and all the killing of eggs (read: cleaning with scrubbing bubbles), life is just rolling along without much fanfare. I haven’t even been shopping. Sorry, did you fall out of your chair? My lunch time activities have been restricted to working straight on through it to the other side of the day where there is more work to be done.
And so that’s my week in a nutshell. Or in a list. Which I prefer to nutshells any day.
Just one more comment, which doesn’t at all have a single thing to do with the rest of this post, but you get it anyway.
Tomorrow will mark the 10th anniversary of the beginning of our dating relationship. We sat in my church parking lot in Birmingham, prayed together and decided that was the direction the Lord was leading us. For right then. We didn’t know then where the relationship would lead but nine months later, Chris proposed.
Didn’t have a clue what we were getting ourselves into, did we Chris? I wouldn’t trade our journey, our life together for one single thing. I love you.

Wow 10 years! Congratulations. Hope work slows down soon and you can enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend listening to Christmas music!
