Fantasy Football-it has arrived.

Fantasy Football is here and drafts are being held even as I draft this post. I happen to love Football and the whole draft event is very exciting. I might as well love it-my husband has binders everywhere-he's on the phone talking trades, and from now until the Superbowl-he has a one track mind. For you ladies who aren't so ready to accept the "draft minded husband"...there are wonderful ways to occupy your time when this magical event takes place. Let's take a look at how you can take advantage during this time if you are a Fantasy widow.Let this be your unofficial guide to surviving the season, because your husband won't know WHAT your doing because he is concerned about getting his first pick, who is injured and who caught the ball...

1. Go get your hair done-you want to look pretty for football season.
2. Buy new dishes-you have to have something new to serve the dip and hot wings during Football games.
3. New furniture is always a wonderful option-tell your husband that he has to be comfortable when he is  sitting on his fanny enjoying the game, and not doing anything else.
4. Get new flooring, or carpet-your husband will enjoy his victory dances much more on new floors.
5. Get a new bed-your husband will be so tired after a long day of watching games, and doing nothing else.
6. A new fridge is always a winner-you want to make sure that all those game day snacks are fresh and the beer is cold.
7. A new vacuum is essential for cleaning up those Dorito chitters that are in the couch-you can vacuum around your hubby's fanny if necessary...but watch the noise level-he could have a meltdown if he can't hear the game.
8. New clothes always make me feel super-if you feel inclined-pick a team and buy a football jersey-make him think you are in this with him.

Ok ladies-go out there and think "team effort"...and everyone will be happy.

Throw some chairs...We are going for a trifecta post.

Georgetown Hoya's Basketball team vs. China's Bayi Rockets ends in a fierce brawl with both teams throwing down with bottles and yes, the ever popular metal folding chair. Where is Bob Knight when you need him? Really? Let's take a look at this: This was a Goodwill Tour game (Yes-I said goodwill) that ended in mayhem that cleared the benches and sent chairs and bare American and Chinese digits flying.....this was supposed to be a nicely packaged game to coincide with VP Joel Biden's visit to China. Georgetown's 10 day "goodwill" trip had the U.S State Department citing that this trip is "an example of sports diplomacy that strengthens ties between 2 countries." Oh-but there is something that the state department left out.....China's Bayi Rockets have been fined tens of thousands of dollars in the past for on court "scrapping" with opponents...scrapping, my ass-Those China men wanted to kick some tall American ass,and they chose the wide open basketball court to do it. The Hoya's are scheduled to play the Rockets this Sunday...there is also a pay per view UFC fight on the tube....which to watch, I just don't know...I just don't know.

Hooray-2 posts in one day.

Just thought of something...I get my nails done (just to clarify "done"-I am acrylic reformed and get the Shelaq manicure that lasts 3 weeks-all natural). So-anyhoo-I love the cuticle trimming and the lotion and hot towel and the UV drying and the white tips and the shiny top coat.....but I HATE and am horrified and miffed when my nail goddess speaks with an American accent and speaks perfect English-I would never know that she wasn't from here-and then turns to her co-worker and speaks a different language while looking at my nails.....call me shallow, but I am horrified that they are cussing in Vietnamese about my nails. I have been told that sounds like I am prejudice....but I can speak some French and I don't speak French when I want to talk about a co worker at my job. Do I say something? Or do I just laugh and stupidly say "Were you talking about me?.....heeheehee." Next time I hear a different language-I am going to pull my digits off the table and demand that she tells me what she was saying and if it had anything to do with me or my nails....too much?

Ok, Ok....I changed things a bit-but so has my life.

Ok-so I am getting away from the Janet Planet thing.....and to my faithful 3 followers out there....I just changed the name and I realized that I need to keep up with this thing called blogging and life. My life has taken a fulfilling joyful turn that has flipped my life upside down....I work with senior citizens-many with demetia. Drum roll please.....I teach drama and improv.Life Enhancement is what they call it. I get blank stares from people when I tell them what I do....in a nutshell-I make people who are at the end of their life laugh and have a good time. This is it for them-many of them have died already and those who are still here don't have much in terms of family.....but I have a mission....I gotta make 'em laugh while there is still time. I love my job....not everyone can do this. I work with people everyday that still don't know my name....they meet me for the first time every day. There are some days where I call Bingo like I was on Broadway-just to make them laugh. I wear a different flower in my hair every day-just to make someone with demetia notice. I make hot chocolate mixed with coffee-because that is what they like and look forward to this treat every morning. When someone's slipper falls off....I act like Prince Charming when I put it back on their crooked feet and call them Cinderella because that makes them smile. There are some people that think I am an angel...what do you think? I just do what I do and it makes me happy.
