tapping out

jse (hornfrog) and i (bear) went to the baylor v tcu game last night. we had great seats, the temperature was sweltering and the game was very exciting. esther margaret missed the action, she is not immunized yet and anyway, she does not love funnel cake. i hadn't been to a football game in a long time, and consequently noticed things i didn't take the time to notice before. like the variety of ways to wear team colors, the chants and the food.

and also common to many sporting events, t-shirts are thrown into the crowd.
i have never lunged for one but i've never been a hanes beefy tee kind of gal (maybe a phase). i thought about what i would jump/lunge/punch/brawl with someone for.

1. esther margaret. if my child were being thrown into the crowd, i would, indeed, lunge/maim/kill, to be the one to catch her. unless it was jeremy. (i know it goes without saying, but had to say it. like at youth church camp of what you would choose if you could only keep one tangible possession for the rest of your life. the bible. or your hero. jesus. or your favorite part of the day. prayer. in college this stays exactly the same but you preface with "i know this sounds really cheesy, but..")
2. the love bracelet from cartier. would lunge for the platinum/white gold, punch someone (hard) for the yellow gold and brawl for the rose gold.
3. any first edition books or lectures by jane austen, rw emerson or ernest hemingway (or jack kerouac. jk. whatever. do i look a hipster?)

4. this rick owens shearling jacket from fall 2004. if the dress was included i would consider doing something harsh enough to be put in jail for a few days.

5. gold coins
