There's a Reason Why I Haven't Been Posting on My Blog

.
You see...I've been having computer problems. Well, technically...nothing is technically wrong with my computer...the problem is, with the craziness of summer, and then school starting, I have had problems clearing my head well enough to sit down and write a coherent post on the computer. Thus, "computer problems". I told my friend Jaime about my, "computer problems" and she said something along the lines of, "That sounds more like a case of User Error to me."
.
I've tried to use this type of excuse before. I remember telling friends once that the reason I was late to arrive at a destination was because I had experienced, "car trouble". I then had to admit that, well, there was nothing mechanically wrong with my vehicle...I just had trouble getting into the car early enough to arrive to our rendezvous spot on time. See? Car trouble.
.
Okay, random, excuse making portion of the post is now concluded...
.
On to more recent happenings...
.
As you may know, last Thursday was the official beginning of the 2012-2013 college football season. If you didn't know that, it is probably because you don't live with the devastatingly handsome man pictured below. When he came out of our bedroom dressed with his Virginia Tech Hokie suspenders over his scrubs I was a little shocked. I remember saying something like, "Oh, my. Fannnncy. And just what is the occasion?" I was then loudly and vigorously informed that it is time, once again for HOKIE FOOTBALL!!!
.
I pondered asking the man why he was wearing his suspenders on opening day...rather than saving them for the following Monday (Labor Day) when the Hokies actually played their first game of the season...but I knew his enthusiasm was not to be stifled.


So, instead of mocking his new look, I made him pose for pictures. He happily obliged and made the VT sign with his fingers. (Pictured above). See the V and the T?
.
...and the mascot symbol (Pictured below.) The Hokie mascot is a turkey. Can you see the turkey he is making? Majestic, isn't it? We Hokies actually prefer to be referred to as, "Fighting Gobblers." rather than, "Turkeys", though. Just so you are aware.
.

So, that is small sampling of what we have been up to lately. Oh, and even though you know you are inexplicably attracted to the man in his suspenders, I must tell you in no uncertain terms, "Back off ladies. He's all mine."
