yay! i've worked things out. i talked to her today, and we've decided on this. at noon she has an appointment at a nice little spa, with that whole thing going, whatever it is they do, i just know she likes it. she's gonna be there from noon to 5 p.m., giving her time to do whatever she pleases, and i'm gonna pick her up at 5, leaving me free to watch the game! it works out for both of us. and yes, i did talk to her about how important football is to me, and she's said that she will help me work around it in the future.
