P.S. to my stalking

I forgot to tell a great detail from last night due to my kids bugging me for the laptop. Darn laptop hoggers.

So when I went up to get Coach Mendenhall to sign my picture, I also tortured him with looking at my scrapbook. Because I am pretty much like a grandma with pictures of her grand kids when it comes to my BYU scrapbook. And really you don't have a choice to look or not, no free agency. I bore anyone I can get to admire my stalking skills. (It will be a lifelong sorrow of mine that I did not ask the guy sitting next to me to snap a picture of me at my stalking best. Oh well life is full of disappointments, I suppose.)

Any ways, I showed Coach Mendenhall my coolio picture of the turkey bone. I told him all about how once I found that bone shaped like the "Y" I knew it was a sign that we would beat Utah that Saturday. And I also shared with him how I held the bone for luck and jumped up and down on the couch screaming at the television during much of the game. Because we all know that has much to do with the outcome, and I am willing to do all I can to help the cause of my team even if it means I am horse the next day. I mean my voice is gone, not that you can saddle me up and feed me hay.

I figured he might look at me like I was crazy, and rightly so, but do know what? He actually told me that I should find another bone this year to ensure another victory. How cool is that? Coach Mendenhall and I shared a moment. Oh my gracious. I am in hog heaven.

So I just had to share this exciting and entertaining story with all of you. Thank you for listening, you may all stand in awe of my stalking talents.

You are too funny! have fun at the game and take lots of pictures.

to answer your question on my blog... for the first 3 years of having my laptop I didn't let my kids ever use it... but the last year or so, I have been catching them on it. Mostly because the house computer is slowly dyeing and it's supper slow.

Did you hear the soccer game got cancelled because of a lightening storm! Big bummer.

I can't wait to see the scrapbook. Maybe instead of adding on (becuase who know's how big that thing might get) you should make a 2008 stalking book, then 2009, 2010, etc.

I feel a new Thanksgiving tradition forming...the hunt for the "Y" bone.

Do not be surprised when you have a court order barring you from even watching any more BYU games. We won't even go into how you will be banned from stepping foot into Utah...

I bet you have been put on a stalking watch list...
