Yes, I love football. Yes, I’m in Boston, so the Patriots are cool.

But what I REALLY love is time to goof off! I am sitting in front of the tv, drinking wine, knitting cool multi-colored socks, hugging my dog, and cheering at the appropriate points in the game.

Ain’t life great!

I’m not really watching the game actually (more of a baseball fan) and I only opened your thread to hijack it by telling you your user name rules. Very cool. I hope you enjoy your football, your wine, and your cute dog very much. And I hope your team wins.

You know, I feel SO happy when people tell me my username is cool. I used to be SexyWriter and that was SO…so…stupid. I sort of wish I had just gone with “CeilingWhacks” since it’s shorter and the phrase cracks me up. But thanks so much for the happy words anyway.

And who cares about the hijack? Hijacks rule! I’m hijacking the superbowl to talk about what else I’m doing!

Without hijacks there would be no…no…LIFE!

Hurrah!

Go Patriots!
