I have a new blanket that's lined with fuzzy microfleece and the cats love it. Right now Torii is curled up next to me, cutely snoring, sharing the blanket.
So there's this game on today. Last week I did the grocery shopping on Sunday, and on a lark I bought Kurtis one of those big, drowning-in-frosting cookies from the bakery. It was decorated like a Vikings helmet and had a big, globular frosting horn on it. I got myself a cupcake.
Kurtis was pessimistic about the game, so I thought the cookie would be a consolation, if not a celebratory treat. But the Vikings won, so Kurtis is convinced it was the cookie that did it. He told me to buy him another one this week.
When I went through the checkout, the guy bagging my groceries said "Go Vikings" when he saw the cookie. I told him how my husband said the Vikes won because of last week's cookie, and the guy said my husband had excellent logic, and would now get himself a cookie, just to be sure the Vikings win.
I'm not sure what to think about the whole Favre thing. It ticks me off when someone goes back on their word. Retiring, then trying to un-retire and oust the guy who'd been waiting to have his position with the Packers, then the next year stringing the Vikings along just so he could skip training camp, because he hates training camp. The whole thing strikes me as petulant, childish behavior. Not at all the kind of behavior that makes one a good part of a team.
But then he goes and leads the Vikings to the playoffs. Does making a bunch of Vikings fans happy justify disillusioning a generation of Packers fans? Does it matter that he's had a good season?
