First Seek to Understand

In the wild, it is important to know what you're up against before heading out into unknown territory. Ladies, just like heading out into the wilderness, it is important to fully understand Football in order to know how to survive it. My sister and I have put together a list of terms to test your knowledge should you be faced in a formidable social situation and simply don't know what to do.We've all been there, the nervous laugh when asked a question, or the glares and eye rolling when we don't know the answer. Sharpen up your skills and you just may have enough material to squeak through a dinner party, or even the next sports event! If you know the correct answer to the terms, you shouldn't be reading this blog!! See how many terms you can fit into conversation, whether it be work or play.


What do you think these terms mean?

1. Blackout
2. Back Judge
3. Bump and Run
4. Chop Block
5. Hash Marks (what you find in his underwear after gameday??)
6. Hitch and Go
7. Hot Receiver (umm...isn't this one pretty self explanatory)
8. Off-Season (ahh...we all know what this means)
9. Tight End
10. The Red Zone

 Try not to cheat and good luck!

Gird your loins, hide your babies, Football season is upon us!

D-Day, or better known as September 9, marks a dark day on the doorstep of many households. I know there are those wonderful women out there who embrace it, enjoy it, and are self named "One of the Guys" for their love of the sport, and heck...probably have more jerseys, knowledge and muscle mass than some of it's male worshippers, but I am not one of those women. I am however, one of those women who love their husbands and will do anything for them, but watching 6 hours of endless manuevers and "Downs" is not one of them. This blog is designed to be a lifeline to those who have seen the glazed over and somewhat manic expression on their significant other's face and know they will not hold their full attention until 1 week after the super bowl has aired, only to find out that March Madness is an even crueler mistress!!!

If you are looking for an alternative activity this season, you are in the right place! Your comments are welcome and ideas for survival are crucial for this Real Housewife of Apopka!
