I do miss my family...I really do...and I am truly looking forward to flying home on Friday. But I can not tell a lie, I have LOVED being able to watch so much football this weekend. I know if I were home there would be 1,000 things I would need to give some attention to, and would feel too guilty to simply plop myself in front of the television. But here, those distractions don't exist. I did pack one suitcase in preparation for going home; I did do a load of laundry; but mostly I knitted and watched FOOTBALL.
With the time difference, I could start watching college games almost from the moment I woke up. All my favorite college teams won yesterday - Georgia and Florida came from behind and Ohio State (with Urban Meyer) looked great. I got to watch the end of the Nascar race and it wasn't even 9pm here. Kasey Kahne made it into the Chase and I knew Rusty had to be excited that #24 beat out Katie's Kyle Busch for the last spot. Today, Atlanta won, the Jets and Tebow won, and now I get to watch Peyton Manning and the Bronco's with dinner. Next Sunday I'll be flying back to Anchorage so there won't be any football for me.
