UFC and Hibernating Me

My hubby is not the typical "he-man" of 24 hr a day/7 day a week sports on the t.v. Bless his sweet heart (and lucky me) he only watches football... and only NFL at that (and not the CFL ~ Canadian Football League)... oh ya and the occasional golf on Sunday afternoons. There is no basketball, baseball or even hockey (Canada's national sport). Nope... hubby is just a football/golf fan... or should I say rather WAS just a football/golf fan. That all changed about 2 years ago when one of my nephews-in-law introduced hubby to the "wonderful world" of UFC ~ Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Fortunately again for me, UFC is only on Pay-per-view once a month and hubby only really watches when one of his favorite fighters are in contention so I'm not the sports-widow that I could be! (Thank the good Lord above!)

I tell you all this because last night was one of hubby's big "fight nights" in our little Nest. He invited his old friend (our former vet), his teenage son, my nephew and his roommate. Being the incredibly loving wife that I am (cough, cough) I prepared honey garlic ribs, cream cheese salsa dip, and a veggie tray for the men. The event doesn't start until 10pm but the guys arrived shortly after 9pm.

By that time I took my laptop, a chick flick and hibernated down in the family room with a few veggies and dip for myself. When my chick flick was done I spent time obsessing over YouTube videos of this season's Bachelorette, trying to figure out which of the final 3 I think she'll choose. Can you say OBSESSED!? It is a disease I'm sure that I need to find the cure for. I have an infectious "crush" of sorts on Reid, one of Jillian's adorable suitors. (Hope hubby doesn't mind this harmless crush!) I have watched Jilly & Reid's date in Spain like 4 times hoping that by sheer wishful thinking she won't disappoint ME and not choose Reid. I know... pathetic!

By midnight the guys were still deep in their UFC so I quickly hopped into the kitchen (not chicken... but thanks Amy for catching my faux pas! Not sure how to hop into the chicken and ewww... don't think I want to know how!), grabbed a glass of water and head up to our room. By the time hubby came to bed (around 2:30am) I was fast asleep.

This morning hubby informed me that the snacks were a huge success and a great time was had by all... even the hibernating me!
