My boyfriend doing what he does best. Watching Football!!

(http://camdenblogs.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/miscpictures-003.jpg)Are you normal? Am I normal? How does anyone know if the things they do make them normal or not. Over the weekend at home in my apartment I was able to catch up my favorite shows that I DVR. I caught an Oprah episode that struck me with the title right away. The show was called "Are You Normal?". Throughout the episode Oprah asked the audience different questions and took a poll to determine if "You Are Normal". I found some of these questions relatable such as the one story about a woman whose husband was an extreme Steelers fan and spent between 40-60 hours a week watching football. My boyfriend may not spend 40 hours weekly watching football but put it to you this way, whenever I turn the television on ESPN is always the first channel I see.  Pretty much everyday there is a "big" game in his mind that he must watch. Since I began to relate to the questions asked I decided to participate and take the poll online at Oprah.com. Lets see how normal I am? Do You Lie About Your Weight On Your License?  Yes. But its close I promise.

  • According to BettyConfidential.com poll, 68% of women lie about their weight on the driver's license.

Is it normal for pet owners to treat their pets like humans? Yes. Doesn't your pet have a reversible jacket?

  • According to the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association, 94% of people speak to their pets as though they are human.

Is it normal to sing while driving? Yes. Nothing better the singing to your favorite song in the car. If only I had an audience.

  • The music in Motion study found that 90% of people sing while driving.

How many hours a week should a man watch football? 12 hours or more. Well there is all day Sunday, Monday night, sometimes Thursday night, and then there is college football...

  • A USA Today poll reveals that the average man watches between three and six hours a week.
