go pack go!

so, i don't like football.  i never have.  i would try to watch college ball every once in awhile when i was little, because we were a hawkeye family.  but i just never "got" football.  it seemed like they'd play a little, then have a five minute break.  then play a little more, then a 10 minute break.  this pattern would continue, then there'd be halftime.  and back to the play a little break a lot pattern.  i couldn't get into it.  even when i was IN college, and i went to our team's game... sure the action was cool, but there just wasn't enough of it.  not like basketball, where it is go go go for the whole game.  and baseball can be slow, but you're outside (usually in nice weather) with a soda (or beer) and a hotdog, and the views are amazing!  : )  


and as this super bowl has been coming up, i've just been kinda "meh" about it.  if the bears had made it, i think i would have been excited about the game, just because the bears are iconic to me, because of chicago and also because of the superbowl shuffle.  : )  however, a funny thing happened at mom's this afternoon.


i voluntarily watched the pre-game show.  and found it interesting!  


even more strage, tho, was that when we got back from blockbuster & subway, and anthony turned on the TV to see how the steelers were doing - i was already rooting for green bay, but peripherally, because i love cheese, the color green, and the ideals of vince lombardi.  (okay, actually, i just heard a story about mr. lombardi that made me like him, so had nothing to do w/ my choosing green bay over the steelers.) - i actually WATCHED THE GAME.  crazy.  purely crazy.


but the topper was when i got in the car & turned the game on there.  LOL  but it was half time so nothing was really going on except the occasional foray into the halftime show (which, really?  why can't they get the sound good on these things?  if American Idol can do it, and shows like The Sing Off, why does the live music at the SUPER BOWL of all places sound like crap??) and the lombardi story.  : )  


when i got home, i tried to watch it online, but no such luck (lots of sites, but they all want you to register, and i didn't want to go thru that much work.  sad, i know.)!!  so i just watched the commercials - LOVE the chevy one w/ the truck acting like lassie!!!  i also liked the darth vader one, and the doritos one where the guy is housesitting & uses doritos to revive everything, and the kenny g one!  audi, i think that one was.  : )  


other than football, what else happened today?  oh yes... a whole lotta FUN!  

 leyton got ahold of the camera here... lol  

bret's been gone all weekend, and it's looking like he's not coming home tonight, either?  i hope he's okay... well, i mean, he's been posting to FB so i know he's okay, but i hope he's okay, ya know?  


i'm gonna watch the cape & keep my eye on the score of the game & GO PACK GO!!!  : )   
(yesssssssssssssss!!!!!)   : ) 


ttfn!
