On Saturday, I will reach a milestone that some women dread....I turn 50! I say bring it on! I am excited to step into a new generation and take full advantage of my AARP card.
A birthday is a great time to look back on the past year and set goals for the one that awaits. I don't have many regrets in my life or things that I wish I had done different. Okay...maybe a few. I do regret my aqua net hair of the 80's, the fashion trends inspired by flash dance and that time I trashed the inside of a boy's car because he broke up with my best friend. (they are now married)
Looking ahead is much more fun. I feel that turning the page to the 50's is like a blank slate. The possibilities are endless...but there is one goal that I want to reach soon. It may sound crazy, but....I want to understand FOOTBALL.
Let me explain. I am the proud mother of four. One is married and two are away at college. That leaves my son as a temporary only child. In two years, he will be spreading his wings and leaving the nest. He love sports and especially football. I sometimes feel left out when I hear him and my husband speak non stop about football. I want to contribute instead of staring at my phone googling "football for dummies." I need help. Please explain to me the difference between a full back and half back? Why would you want half when you can have full? What is a safety? I thought a blitz was a reindeer? Could you explain what it means when a ref throws a hankie on the field?
Here is my dream. This Sunday when the men in my house are watching the big game, I want to come in the room and blow their minds with my football knowledge.
Are you with me? Will you help me? I will provide the tailgate.
