Excessive abundance

09/17/2015 by Holly

It’s fantasy football season again. I know most people just call it football season, but not us.

This means that the Wives Against Fantasy Football Leagues Everywhere, or WAFFLE for short, has re-commenced with its meetings. And by meetings, I mean passing each other in the hallway at church and just shaking our heads…shaking our heads. Let me know if you want to start a chapter in your town. Also, we seriously need a t-shirt.

Ah, Gronk, they tell me you’re a bad boy but how could that be with such a baby face??

 

I need planting season to coincide with fantasy football season. I have lots of free time on my hands now, and relatively little gardening work to do. Here are some ideas I am considering to fill the expanse.

{And yes, in case you’re wondering, it has been suggested that I should take up “watching football” as a way to fill this time glut.}

{Also, I just looked up the word “glut,” because it sort of got switched in my mind for a second and I was confusing it with another word…but no, it’s the right word. For the definition is “excessively abundant supply of something.” YEP, that’s the word I wanted.}

So back to the activities. I might:

Make a complete log of Disneyworld ride wait times by the hour on their super-addicting new app, making sure to include approximate walking time from that point to the nearest Dole Whip kiosk.

Take advantage of David’s near-comatose state and convince him that I would be a really great beekeeper.

Learn something new. Like Greek.

 

Of course, this is the point in this post at which I feel obliged, nay obligated, to mention that David’s main league {yes, there is more than one. No comment.} is a cash-money league and last year he swept the whole thing. {Yay, honey, way to go, said not at all with a tinge of sarcasm and only full-on-supportive-wife-enthusiasm.}

However, this is now the point in this post at which I feel obliged, nay obligated, to mention that Honey, since you won last year you’ve proven you can win money doing this and mama might have herself a little expectation now, so giddy-up.

Nothing covers a multitude of sins like handing over those earnings to a garden center.  Mention it to Gronk for me?

Oh, hi there

I'm Holly from zone 7b.
My veggies grow above ground where the rabbits help themselves, and the flowers grow in ground where the children help themselves. Sometimes I wish I was a pioneer. Then I move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and think better of it.
