As you all know, Auburn has had a pretty good year. The whole town is a abuzz with who will be traveling to Arizona for the National Championships, have you gotten tickets yet, do you know where to get tickets, how much did you pay for your flight, did you know you could go to Europe for what you're paying? And on and on and on and on.....
I make no secret about my feelings about sports. I'm generally not interested in them. I am definitely an Auburn fan, though, and I love it when we win. Of course, I love Auburn when we lose, too. I really don't care. War Eagle, no matter what.
As Auburn was winning the SEC championship last week, Joe and I had the foresight to gather some rolls of toilet paper, load the kids in the van, and head to Toomer's Corner a good 5 minutes before the game was over. It was good planning on our part. We sailed downtown with little to no traffic, found a parking spot less than a block away, and marched right up to those oak trees on Toomer's Corner and got to tossing. The toilet paper was overwhelming. Jacks was in awe - it recently occurred to me that I've never taken him down there because of the crowds, the traffic, the parking, etc....... it was high time we head down there for my little buddy to enjoy the tradition of rolling the corner.
Nealy was a little overwhelmed, and she got a little fussy. Especially when my glasses were knocked off of my face by a roll of flying toilet paper and I had a minor panic attack trying to get them back before they were crushed in the street. She was clinging to me like a baby monkey. But it was worth it. Everyone was cheering and laughing and dancing in the streets. Auburn Santa was even there! It was a perfect first Toomer's experience for the little ones.
Enjoy the Auburn snow!
And WAR EAGLE!
