An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Bat and Hat!
We made it to Dallas, with no serious problems. Saw a whole lot of vehicles with “Roll Tide”, “Go ‘Bama” and the like. We maneuvered through the Dallas Sunday afternoon traffic, listening to my ‘Boys get their hinders creamed. sigh… We got checked into the motel, make it to the room…..it’s a non-smoking room. Say whut? Well, ok, our reservations is for a smoking room, so no problem, right? The clown that did the room assignments, naturally isn’t on the premises. That poor girl behind the desk will probably be extremely happy to never see us again. Well, if she sticks with this job, no doubt she’ll see us more than she could ever wish. What kind of property has only ONE person working….all by their lonesome? She had to come up and clean a room for us, and there weren’t enough sheets? Another sigh…. I even had to remake the bed. I’ll survive….till I chew someone a new one today! I’m not blaming the girl at the desk, I’m blaming the moron who did the room assignment.
To give her a break, we just dropped our bags off and got out of her hair. On to ‘Christmas’ with the kids! Now, I can be sure I got a couple of things no one else got for Christmas. 
Well, someone might have gotten one, but definitely NOT the other!
Seriously, how many people get their own bat? Yep….Brat and Ick got me my very own bat named Cleobatra! Ok, so I don’t get to take her home or anything….I’m her sponsor! This, of course means……ROAD TRIP! Well, what’s the point of having your very own bat if ya don’t get to see it, live and in person! Since she’s in Arizona, that’s a perfect excuse to go to the Grand Canyon! Heh!
Ain’t she cute????? Why a bat you ask? Well, since the Brat has been calling me an ol’ bat for longer than I can remember…..why not? As a matter of fact, this blog came a frog’s hair close to being called “An Ol’ Bat’s Ramblings”. I thought better of it.
My second major present, from Ick and Elvis (hockey guru)…..a hat. And not just any ol’ hat. One of a kind!
You say there’s a lot of those hats out in the general public? Not so, says I! Turn it around!
(Ok, ignore the Dasani bottle. That was only way I could get the picture. No, I don’t buy that stuff, it came with the room.)
Now, is that cool or what!

I love the hat!!!!!!
It kinda looked like the Boys had the same kind of weekend the Pack had in 16…. No matter. The first round bye is important.
You missed a good party at Papa’s yesterday!!
No doubt I’ll be wearing that hat more than any other I’ve ever had! Heh!
I don’t even want to think about that disaster called a game. We actually caught a little at the end. Jeeeeeeeez!
There’s always next year, right?
Im glad you like your bat.. I wanted to go with “Rocky Batboa”
hey now…. i gave you final vote on wether we went with rocky or cleo… you picked cleo due to the “Bat’s” love of egyptian crasp… keep that in mind while trying to push me under the bus…
Her name could be Bossy….don’t care….MY bat!
Why are we talking about the Bat (although cool). The Boys are Division champs and Ol’ broad has the hat to prove it. Drool, drool, drool.
