I stay home with Scout. I get up at 4 AM, so I can work before she wakes up. During her naps, I do more work. At 4 PM, Scout goes to the child care center in our gym, and I hop on an elliptical and watch Ellen.
For those of you mathematically challenged, that’s 12 hours until I get a break.
Today I was especially excited to watch Ellen because Johnny Depp was a guest (::swoon::).
After mere minutes, a special news report interrupted my program. (Does saying “my program” make me sound old?)
My first thought? NOOOOOOOO! JOHNNY!
My second thought? Damn terrorists.
But it wasn’t terrorists. It was Tom Brady. Damn Tom Brady…talking about how he picks out his footballs. Insert your own joke about a man and his balls here and in the comments.
Seriously?
And although Tom Brady is pretty cute, let’s face it: he’s no Johnny Depp.
I saw this:
Instead of this:
Now I know why people hate the Patriots. Those freakin’ program interrupters….

I’m sorry. Did you write something? I lost all concentration once I saw that pic of Depp. Yum.
And since when are Tom Brady’s balls special or newsworthy?
January 22nd, 2015 at 7:59 pm
I agree!!!

Another reason for me to despise the importance that our nation puts on sports… and balls.

It’s been a sad year for football. But I do have to say that the pom-pom hats fascinate me.

People hate the Patriots?! Why was I not informed of this??
January 23rd, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Watch it Thoughtsy. Say anything bad about the Pats and Darla will open a big, ‘ol can of whupass on you.

Media is treating this like it’s some sort of breaking news and really it’s just cheating in a sport…which happens like every season in one way or another. I say bring back the regularly scheduled programming and lemme watch Ellen!

If Johnny deflated his balls, would they interrupt Brady prancing around the Super Bowl to interview Depp?
January 23rd, 2015 at 8:52 pm
This whole deflated balls things means nothing to me. But….hearing news casters say balls 800 times a day is AWESOME!

Um this should be a crime, getting rid of Johnny for a.. sportsperson – how dare they!!??

Are you for serious?!? I’d be knocking some Patriot out! UGH. I hear enough about them as my husband’s ex-wife is from the NE and all she talks about is the New England Patriots, and Tom Brady. I love her, but DANG. Give a Texas family a break. Longhorns, Sooners, and Cowboys please!

I love your blog! I’m a student trying to get my own blog off the ground. It details my ridiculous journey to become less basic (plus some other musings). Check it out if you have a sec! I’d love to hear your suggestions. https://beccastephenson.wordpress.com/2015/02/17/50-shades-of-cray/
