Hubby's Initiation into Big Brother Night

Hi, all. I'm sharing with you something that will make some of you laugh out loud. But only if you really know me and only if you really know how big a fan I am of Big Brother.

My hubby is getting initiated Thursday night.

Yep, that's right. My mom called me last week and said we needed to all be together for the premiere of Big Brother on July 8, because my guy is going to need a support system. Since he is now part of the family, she thought it only right that everyone get him through the first episode. Nope, he's never watched it. Even more, he's never watched ME watch it.

He knows how I am about soccer as Jeremy and I text back and forth to each other during the World Cup game that knocked out the USA. He knows how I am about football as I asked him if he believed a mom can turn around a Super Bowl game so her son's favorite team can win. He knows how I am about softball and baseball as he kept watch on the sidelines with his camera, taking "blackmail" shots as he put it. (By the way, my team won 13-12. I didn't score either time at bat but I did get an RBI...run batted in and we did win by one so I helped, too!) I even converse with my mom from time to time as Survivor is her favorite of the reality shows.

Now, last year, I nearly disbanded myself from Big Brother but they proved to be patriotic after all when they ejected someone who "dissed" the victims of 9/11. Yes, I was one of thousands who called in complaining about that player. I also happily watched as she was escorted out of the game. You don't laugh about what happened to us that day and treat it as a joke. I've got a brave son with a TBI because of that attack on our country. I vowed to never watch Big Brother again till we found out that player would be leaving on the next episode.

So here I am, just as big a fan as ever, and I already have a favorite unless he proves to be either a) a jerk or b) the person who is set to sabotage the game. It's a guy from Decatur, Texas and I have already informed hubby that everyone in the family gets to choose their favorite player but that everyone better choose the Texas guy. LOL. It's the closest player to my town that has been in the game. I'm really excited about that.

Oh, and hubby promised me a trip or a cruise next summer unless I get picked for the next Big Brother. One of these days I should at least qualify for the old person, don't you think?

Well, I better go do some exercising. Sitting in front of a computer freelancing has put on the weight. Just the fact that hubby loves me as I am makes me want to do a complete makeover just for him. I love you, Hubby.
