colin and i drove down to duncan, ok last night for the last football game of the regular season for the el reno indians. if we won the game we would be the district champions and host 2 of the post season games at home (meaning more sideline work, and money, for me!). it was a little chilly in the stands, but i brought a sweater, 2 blankets, mittens, and knitting. knitting with 100% wool kept my hands warm, so i let colin wear the mittens, which he appreciated. i don't think he was ever quite as warm as i was.

anyways, so el reno played pretty good and we ended up beating the duncan demons 21-7. at the end of the game, all the el reno fans rushed the field and we all celebrated. on the way home, colin and i stopped to get something to eat at the burger king in town. when we were done eating, we headed out to the car and i noticed that the Obama 08 sticker i had on my back window had been half ripped off. now, considering that duncan is 10 miles south of marlow, OK which still has an active KKK chapter, i was pretty sure that either someone at the football game or someone at BK had fucked with my sticker. i was so angry. that's so petty and childish. needless to say, i will never be traveling to duncan, ok ever again.

everything else is going well. concession stand work starts again on monday. i'm looking forward to having lots of time to knit while other people work. i just hate having to spend so much time out in el reno for this. if i lived out there it wouldn't be a big deal because i could go home and pet kitties in between school and working the concession stand. as it is now, i have to spend from 7 am until usually 10 pm out in el reno and then drive home, sleep, and get up and do it again the next day. it makes for some truly stressful times.

well, it's time to relax on my only real day off a week. maybe i can talk colin into doing some bowling today... before having to go to sam's club and buying stuff to stock up the concession stand.

that's a bummer, but be grateful they didn't smash your windows or slash your tires while they were at it.

glad to find your new blog! has the old one been retired then?
