I never want to meet J. Franco by the way... Only said because I am the queen of jinxes.  Maybe my birth mother was cursed on the highest mountain right before I was born.  I bet you never knew I was born on a mountain top. If you are my friend on FB, you might remember a time (probably one of the only times) where I actually tried to post smack about sports (other than baseball).  I said: "After what happened to the best team in The Big XII yesterday... I hope the Boomin'Sooners have prepared themselves. This might be just the post you need to win, but probably not. #SECsuperiority" -1/2/14 It turns out, it was the post that allowed OU to win.  I was like, really Alabama?!  You couldn't follow through with one thing for the little ol' Aggies?  A-holes.  And I am an A-hole for even trying to talk about something I don't even care that much about (sorry, Association OFS).

(Freezing memories in time (photography)...it's beautiful.  *Vivek just threatened to punch me out...) Then, last last Friday night , Alex and I had a mom (yes, we are pronouncing mom in full now...no more ba (ma))/son date night.  We ran some errands, ate at Chick-fil-a, and ended the night at frozen yogurt store (No idea what it's actually called).  It's our favorite place in the world and Alex rushes through the doors like he's storming though the paper signs held up for football players to run through on Friday night games.  Like a presidential candidate, he waves and smiles to all the ...
