Shopping Spree= Day of college football!

My first post I mentioned how this blog was going to be an experiment on how I could watch college football and still stay happily married. Last Saturday, I successfully accomplished my first experiment.

I woke up fairly early in the morning, because I needed to finish some homework before the games began. There were three main games that I wanted to see: FSU vs. OU, BYU vs. AF, ND vs. UM, and then I figured if I got lucky, I could maybe squeeze in a little bit of USC. As I thought about those four games, I realized the chances of seeing all of them were slim to none.

Luckily for me, three of those games started around the same time. After I was done with my homework, I started to plan how I would convince my wife to let me sit on the couch for the next three to five hours. I started to think about my wife's hobbies, and the first one that came to my head was her passion for spending our money. I quickly realized that if I told her to go get some new clothes, a rare experience for her since we are poor, she would vanish like the wind and I would have the next few hours to myself.

As she came back from the gym, I told her about a bonus I received at work and that I wanted her to use that money to go buy some clothes. She was ecstatic. She quickly got ready, called her sister, and she was out the door in less than twenty minutes. I finally received sweet freedom.

For the next three hours, I did not move. I was filled with the ecstasy that only college football can bring. Once the games I wanted to see were over, I got ready to go on our date. By this time I realized that seeing the SC game was slim to none. As luck would have it, the Trojans did not begin playing until later that night. When we got home from our date, I was still able to catch the second half and my beautiful wife did not complain once; she was too busy looking at her new clothes. Gentleman, that is what I call the perfect score.
