If your husband/boyfriend/boo-bear likes football, but you, um don’t… September 9, 2010

…and truth be told, still don’t even really understand how the game is played… or what the big deal is… or why it’s even fun to have other 300 pound people pile all over you, then here’s the golden ticket…

nfl_image_50713Apparently, today is the 1st day of the NFL season.  If your husband slash boyfriend slash boo-bear just LOVES him some football and he knows that you could care less, you can SUPRISE HIM in a big way by doing a few things…

1.  Have football-ish food for dinner tonight: wings, beer, chips, anything fried, etc.  Nothing fresh.  No watermelon or grapes to be seen.

2.  Tell your main man, he’s free to take the food & go park it in front of the boob-tube.  Give him the night to enjoy the game without you and all your ga-zillion questions.

3. Tell him you just want to celebrate that it’s such a “special day,” & he deserves a little time to throw himself into the season with fervor.

Lastly, tell him it would be nice to have the same treatment when the Oscars red-carpet pre-show is beginning. 🙂

Okay, so here’s the truth for our little family.

First of all, we don’t have a TV so Dave can’t watch at home, on top of that I have to work tonight so he’s taking care of our kiddo’s from 6pm on.

But, I AM going to make him a lovely unhealthy football-ish dinner, let him eat on the special red plate (the one reserved for the family member being celebrated for the night) & surprise with my knowledge of the NFL season starting tonight.  He’s gonna love it.

p.s.  It’s a secret, so don’t tell him.  (Obviously, he’s not a big gabbingwithgrace.com fan)! 🙂

Let’s “celebrate!”
