Football Pick 'Em is Over


Even though we technically still have a few weeks of NFL pick opportunities on Yahoo, Dear Husband has given up any pretense that he still has a chance to win our first ever pick 'em duel.  I'm accepting his failure to make any picks this week (automatically earning me 9 points) as evidence that he will stipulate for the record that Lovely Wife is the winner and will be the proud owner of a designer handbag in due time.

Now, we just have to go shopping.  I'm sure that after an entire season of hearing me dream out loud about buying a coveted handbag you think I'm going to do something crazy.  And to be quite honest, after putting up with football every weekend for the past half a year, I might be entitled to an "investment" purse.  But if you've read any previous posts, you already know that I very rarely actually pull the trigger when it comes to making giant splurges.  For example, I completely chickened out when Dear Husband offered to buy my all-time favorite Jimmy Choo's as a graduation gift.  So, please don't get your hopes up that I'm going to be sharing any pictures of a Louis Vuitton or (dare I say it?) a Birkin bag any time soon.  Someday I'll cash my tokens in for a personal splurge as a result of this football season, but for the time being, I'm just content to be a winner.

As far as football went yesterday, it was as expected.  Tebow pulled off another last-minute win.  The cowboys handed their opponent another late game victory.  And the Colts lost.  Such is football, so overrated and so predictable.  Even a girl can figure it out.
