Draft Day...well crap

Really Saints? an (allegedly) slow safety who sometimes takes bad angles to make the tackle and ends up missing? Don't we already have a couple of iterations of this kid on the roster?  Seriously, I had it all planned out in my head already with the sack dances for Barkevious or Jones. I sure the hell hope this kid can really play, cuz I'm getting really tired of finding all these 7th round and UDFA gems, but not being able to use any of our actual high round picks.

On a more positive note, this is the week of Festival International here in Lafayette. Trombone Shorty from N.O. played last night and KILLED it. First time I've ever seen him live and it's a great show. Can't recommend it any higher.

LSU Spring Game, and other useless crap

Attended the LSU spring game Saturday and I have a few thoughts...

• Our second team/3 team/walkons can't cover the first team. I have no idea how that translates to playing Alabama, but there it is.
• All of those damn sophomore linebackers hit like tons of bricks.
• Mett looked pretty good I thought. You could see him make his reads, and while he overthrew a couple of long balls early, I'm pretty sure OBJ pulled up a little on the second one (it was hard to tell for sure). Then he hit several long balls on pretty throws, including the 80-ish yard touchdown throw. Against Bama, that may not have been a touchdown, but that ball was beautifully thrown exactly where it needed to be.
• Rivers is better than people are giving him credit for in my opinion.
• Jennings is going to be pretty damn good.
• Rettig is nowhere near ready yet.
• Starting D-line looks fairly solid. Ends are a major question mark though.
• Starting O-line looked good, and that's with the snap problems. Pocic may have been having trouble snapping the ball, but once that was done, he blocked the shit out of some people.

Now, onto the "other crap" portion...

Spent all day yesterday putting up a basketball goal.We bought this for GC #1 last year, and of course the mount wasn't exactly the same as in the instructions and blah blah, etc.  Fortunately, once I put it up, the girls completely ignored it.

After scoring twice last weekend, a fat zero this weekend. I think from now on, every time my honey tries to bribe me with a  BJ to do something she wants me to do, I'm going to demand a coupon of some sort. At least that way I'll be able to track all the blowjobs I'm not getting after I do what she wants. Honey, bribery only works if you pay off occasionally......

Epic

and by epic, I mean "what the fuck were you thinking?"

Last night was girls night out at my house. Which wasn't really a problem, I hid in the bedroom and watched Castle on TNT, followed the various terror/explosion/shooting situations on Twitter, and chuckled at the volume of all those women talking over each other. At 10, the situation changed, as they came to get me to come out and have a drink with the idiots lovely ladies who were remaining. When my honey came to get me, I realized she was drunk. I didn't realize how drunk until she started falling off of the furniture 30 or so minutes later, finally taking herself off to bed. When I got in there, she had thrown up in her sleep. Exciting!!

That led me to having to strip her down and throw her in the shower, then roll her back into bed on my side (out of the puke) and go sleep in the extra bed. Finally got to bed around midnight. Oh and by the way, yet again sex was teased earlier in the day and not delivered on. Now I know that extreme drunkenness is a reasonably good excuse for not delivering, but I am simply going back to my original point of Don't Fucking Tell Me. Seriously, until you are actually ready to deliver, don't tell me.

I'm looking forward to asking her if she wants a beer later when I get home.

Confession time

I guess I should come clean now. For all my bitching and moaning about sex and the lack thereof, I find myself in an unaccustomed position. You see, I got lucky TWICE this past weekend, and frankly, it freaks me the fuck out. I mean the normal response to having sex on Friday, and then asking again on Saturday is "We just did that", which in my mind at least is a pretty crappy response. My usual answer is So What? What rule says we can only do it once a week/month?   Seriously, though, is that part of PPACA or something? I knew I hated that health care bullshit for a reason, and not just for it's epically shitty economics and general lack of awareness of how people act in the real world.

Sorry, I digress into an unrelated rant.  So, back to my unaccustomed feeling...I mean today is Thursday and that means we're almost to the weekend. Normally that would mean it's time to chase my honey around the house, but after 2 times last week, I may get shut down. It's truly and interesting situation, and one I intend to explore this weekend.  I mean this may break the drought-ish situation that I have been bitching about is I were to do this like 4-6 times in one month. Only time will tell, and when I know, you will know dear Blog.

Unrelated to the above other than the fact that it happens this weekend also is the LSU spring football game. Yes, I'm finally going after years of discussing and not doing it. I'm a little excited to be honest. Going to take the family and make an afternoon of it, see Mike's new habitat and then watch the festivities starting at 2:00. See ya there!

Don't do this at home

Ladies, please don't try this at home....

So at home last night at a reasonable hour and my honey is clearly off. Not ragingly grouchy, but not quite right either. So I bite the bullet and ask what, if anything, is wrong/bothering her. She says her hormones are bothering, but on the bright side, she is a touch horny. I immediately got my hopes up, but then tempered them with the hard earned knowledge that unless she acts on that tinge of horniness right away, it probably will not happen. And of course, it didn't.

Ladies, please know that if you tell your man you feel a little horny, we will expect you to maintain that feeling and fucking act on it. Otherwise, please don't tell us, and if it makes it through until the kids and dogs have gone to bed, you can give us a pleasant surprise.

Seriously, I'd much rather never know. In my experience, it usually doesn't happen unless she tells me this after the kids and dogs time.

"Girls Night/Trip"

I don't fucking get it. I really, really don't. They spend half the damn day talking, texting, facebooking, pinterist(ing), and whatever other bullshit means of communicating they use, then on a monthly basis, they need to get away from the house? My honey does not work, so (in my opinion) she gets away for approximately 7 hours/day while I'm at work and the golden children are in school....

My honey just came back from girls week at the beach. I'm not in any way ashamed to say that it pissed me off. I"m still pretty sure she lied to me about certain portions of it. Then when I asked her about it, she got mad as hell and tore me one for "making her trip miserable". I guess she's going to have to fucking tough it out, since I stayed home while she was at the beach. I'm secretly glad she was miserable, and assuming she is going to want to do this same stupid shit again next year, I hope she's miserable then too. I also hope she gets her period and the weather sucks......

Needless to say, there has not been any "loving" in my home in the last couple of weeks. I guess I'm going to restart the counter in my head, and I'll see how long it lasts. I have a half-assed suspiscion it may last for several weeks. We'll see what happens I guess, I'm going to try really hard not to push the issue, although I've been getting frustrated at the sparseness of my love life and as such, I may boil over into a discussion. I wonder some times if she thinks that we have sex a lot more than we do? Maybe she has a boyfriend, battery operated or otherwise. Hell, maybe she has a girlfriend...and wouldn't that be interesting. I wonder if she would just leave to play for the other team, or if she would just switch-hit.
