Labor Day Weekend!

Well it's been a nice long and relaxing weekend. The main focus of the weekend has been Storm and tennis. We've watched plenty of the U.S. Open. They don't feature all the matches that we want to watch on TV so we've been watching some matches online at the US Open website.

My boyfriend's cat, Storm, hasn't had a good weekend. She's dealing with an abscess tooth. We called a few animal hospitals yesterday trying to get her seen but was unsuccessful. Her face has been swollen all weekend and yesterday it was so puffy her eye was starting to close. We got her to a vet this morning. She is currently at the animal hospital either in surgery or waiting for surgery. Poor little thing! Storm is a little up there in age so I'm concerned about the risks of the anaesthetic. Hopefully, she'll be good as new very quickly but for the next couple of days she'll definitely be taking it easy.


This weekend has also been the start of the college football season. LSU played Oregon at Cowboys Stadium. There were lots of LSU fans around. It doesn't seem quite fair to have Oregon come all the way to Texas for a game with LSU. Louisiana is a neighboring state so it was very easy for their fans to get here for the big game. Actually I must admit I didn't realize at first that LSU was playing Oregon. On Saturday I had seen some Arkansas fans dressed head to toe in their razorback gear so I assumed it was LSU versus Arkansas. Then my boyfriend informed me it's Oregon that's in town not Arkansas. How was I supposed to know? I still have yet to see an Oregon duck fan and the game was 2 days ago!


In other college football news we were heartbroken that TCU lost to Baylor. It was a seriously intense game. Not as intense as a ASU/U of A rivalry but close. Baylor built a huge lead then simply fell apart. I was thinking to myself I've never seen a team fall so far apart so fast in any game. TCU came raging back. In the end Baylor got it together with only a minute to go to take the lead back with a field goal. By the time TCU got the ball back they just couldn't get close enough to their goal to give their kicker a reasonable shot at a field goal. If TCU had pulled of that victory it would have been a classic for years to come.
