Flu, sports, and age

Sorry guys, I was sick all last week and pretty much `out of order`. Today is my first day back in the real world and I have to say, it`s a cold one. I will try to have an entry with some real substance by the end of this week!

On a different note....I am not a happy camper about the Super Bowl. Not only because I couldn`t watch it, but because I found out the final results before I even got the chance to see the video tape!!!!! However, recent news of Jerome Bettis' retirement brings a smile to my face.

(**Warning: the following thoughts are highly capricious and dramatic**)
On yet another subject....it hit me today that I will be 27 years old on Wednesday. Most of you are probably thinking, 'yeah? so what?'. And I would normally agree, but something is surprisingly strange about 27. I am now only three lightning-short years away from the big 3-0. (*whimper*) It just doesn't fit me, you know? I'm much too immature and irresponsible to be 27 (or 30) years old, and to be quite honest, I think I just don't want to grow up. It will just have to be a strange combination I guess: a 27 year-old body inhabited by a girl who requested her Mom send her a SpongeBob Squarepants coloring book.
