Superbowl Loss? Check. Seriously Bad Car Issues? Check. Potentially deadly infectious disease? CHECK
And that friends is a summary of my last few weeks.
Seriously, double you-tee-eff.
Yes, my team lost the Superbowl-- sidenote, possibly the best Superbowl, I have EVER watched, but still sad loss--- and I am not talking about it. But since I waxed so poetic about my team during the season, perhaps the best way to capture the horrific ending is to allow you, my readers to feel my pain. And since I can't figure out how to tape the audio from my MANY MANY voicemail messages, I have decided to link you to a fine site, which pretty much illustrates what people have said to me in the past few days.

I want to take a few moments and say, that is a finely written site, delicious hate, I can only hope to emulate them myself one day with www.suck-it-notre-dame.blogspot.com. But until then, please check them out, they are amusing all the time. And while you check them out imagine hearing all that crap in person for the past 3 days, and you will know my pain.
Car- I don't know what is wrong with it. I have boys to handle that... and once they tell me, rest assured I will promptly forget to tell you about it... but know this... those AAA guys are more than just friendly auto-helpers they also are never scared to hand a girl a hankie bribe her with Dark Chocolate Peanut M&M's when she loses it trying to verbalize what sound the car made when it stopped working. Thanks AAA!!!
SERIOUS INFECTIOUS DISEASE (lets call this an SID for short) yes. Apparently, I have been exposed to one.... stupid roommate (whom I LOOOOOOOOOOVE) has MRSA (pronounced mursa) or at least I am convinced she has MRSA after googling her mysterious symptoms yesterday that or she has been exposed to nuclear radiation... but I think option one is probably more likely.
What did you do? You ask.
Well, I did what any self-respecting, germ-fearing American did. Bleached the hell out of my entire house and nearly caused a building wide exodus with my fervent application of lemon scented anti-bacterial things apparently ammonia and bleach still don't mix... I thought the innovations of the day would solve that (kidding mom, I simply over applied the products... I guess using a whole bottle was overkill, but you know me... KNOWN for my subtlety) Yes, in a panic the likes of which not previously seen by my neightbors, I proceeded to boil water ( I don't know why) I stuck my tooth brush in one set, and my tweezers in another and then another version I boiled everything, even the soap dispenser... (still don't know why, we don't share soap) and then I washed every towel in the house in EXTRA HOT. I still don't feel safe. I am also pretty sure my roommate is gonna kill me because I keep following her around with bleach spray to disinfect after her.
