hail to the victors!

it's always a good day when michigan defeats michigan state in any sport. the game today was nothing short of what an in-state rival should be. BJ and i had a great time cheering on the maize and blue together. my parents didn't make it to town after all. apparently something came up so i took a raincheck until the next week or two. my mom bought BJ an exersaucer and i definitely look forward to getting BJ in that thing as soon as possible. i'm sure they'll work it out so we can visit soon.
it's been a pretty low key day since the game ended. i've been doing laundry, laundry, and yes you guessed it... laundry! i swear it will be such a great feeling to get to the bottom of this clothes heap i created before my leave from work began.
to be honest, i'm actually feeling a bit lonely tonight. i'd been doing pretty well with being my own company but today was quite difficult and it's not over yet. it might have someting to do with the fact that my wife and i always used to watch the UM-MSU game together each year because interestingly enough i married a spartans fan. our differences aside it was usually one hell of a time catching the game together because she got into it more than i did, jumping around and throwing sofa pillows and such when there was a bad call or something of the like.
aside from that i also feel the weather has gotten the better end of me lately since we haven't had sunshine for awhile. it's been overcast since rita hit the coast. i don't know how that matters this far north but that's just me being naive.
anyway, i rented coach carter and i've heard it as actually a great film. i usually like the pictures based on true stories and it can only be a bonus to have it revolve around one of the four major sports.
i just rewatched radio the other day with cuba gooding jr and it reminds me of the amazing performance he put on in that film. besides, samuel l jackson never seems to dissapoint.
the anxiousness of my upcoming anniversary hasn't gone away. i did ask my wife to spend some time with me that day with our child, if not only to achieve being in the same space together and enjoying each other's company. that's basically what i'm working on right now, especially considering the fact my role will soon be changing from husband to friend if all goes well. my therapist keeps reminding me to let things fall where they may, which always intrigues me because he must know by now that i don't expect anything to happen overnight. i'm sure he means well, and so do many other people right now that are being protective.
ok, i suppose that's enough for now... early morning tomorrow and many things to do before i return to work this monday. thanks for listening and feel free to leave your quarter on the windowsill.
