Mid-life crisis, pre-menopause, or just old age...my state of mind lately changes like the Wisconsin weather. Waukesha is a smaller town west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It's a neat town with a private college, a really cool downtown shopping district with lots of galleries and antique stores.

Packer Backer

I've always been a Green Bay Packer fan. (OK, maybe not when I was a kid and my dad and uncles would hog the TV to watch the games during family get togethers.) Shortly (OK, immediately) after my divorce from hubby who will go unnamed, I was able to secure my email handle where I proudly show the love of my home team. (That in itself is another story.) Every game day I run the gambit of: to fly or not fly the flag (is it good luck or bad luck); do I watch the game or listen to it on the radio (I feel they do better when I am out shopping and hearing the game on the radio); which shirt do I wear, which Packer set of earrings? Now remember that video of the drunk chick that made the news a year or so ago when the Packers lost their playoff berth? You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbjqjOrFBbs I'm a fan, but I'm not rabid (or drunk.) I feel for her, because wardrobe, earrings and nail polish IS important. Now back to the ex-hubby and my e-mail handle. I had had my new email handle for a while (spouting my love for the Packers) when I got a comment back from the ex that I complained every weekend when he watched football while we were married, yet claim my love for the Packers in my new e-mail handle? My reply? Hell Yes! It's easy to love and follow your home team when I'm not forced to watch every single football game on TV from Thursday through Monday during football season! Difference? I love Packer football--not football in general. OK, Packer football and any team playing the Vikings or the Bears! My current husband? Yes, he's a Flatlander....but he's a Packer Backer as well. I've converted him (not that it was hard--he didn't grow up in a household that watched much sports.) Did my anxiety help the Packers today? It's only the half--time, and earrings, will tell. *Post Game Update* These earrings are going in the trash! (Packers lost)
