I hosted a Super Bowl party tonight.
I think only 2 of us rooted for NY.
It was a pretty good game.
And it ended well for me .... though truth be told, I didn't care all that much about that game. I just happen to really love NYC, so I rooted for NY.
But I have to say, I was disappointed by the commercials. I had already seen the Ferris Bueller commercial at least 3 times this past week, so it wasn't new to me.
The Doritos commercial where the dog buried the cat was THE hands down winner, in my opinion. I was rolling on that one. Totally loved that dog!!! Hilarious.
And yes, I have a cat and I love him ..... like a cat.
And I still thought it was the funniest thing I'd seen in a long time.
And Madonna ...... ?
Well, let's just say that she stunned me. As well as everyone else at my house.
I don't think I've ever seen her body that covered up. Really. She had on more clothes at the end than a nun (and that long dress ..... ugh ...... it looked like something out of Star Wars, or something). We kept waiting for her to rip off parts of her outfit. Then she ripped off the gold part of her skirt .... and we knew the partial nakedness was coming. But it didn't.
We were perplexed.
Maybe that was the point of her part ..... to stun us all by not uncovering most of her body.
If that was her plan ..... it totally worked.
I didn't really get the point of the gladiators, and other dressed up characters. But then, I've never claimed to be as "deep" as Madonna.
After the game I cleaned up everything while watching "The Voice". I've never seen that show before ..... I think I'm addicted ..... yes, after one viewing.
What. Amazing. Voices.
I wonder how much they have to go through before they finally get to appear before the judges?
And the one guy who sang ..... and NO ONE turned around??? Harsh!!!! I felt sad for him. How often does that happen? Like every show? Because I don't know how many times I can watch that happen. Bless his heart.
Now I guess he has to go work on his "pitch" and try again.
And thank goodness Christina recognized her co-Mouseketeer! That would have REALLY been cold!
If you didn't watch "The Voice" .... just skim through all of that. Although, now that I'm done taking about it, it's probably too late to tell you that, isn't it? Sorry. But maybe now you'll decide to try it. It's on again tomorrow night. NBC. Great singing. Don't feel pressured. Really. I'm just saying'.....
I talk to Son #2 almost every night. He's doing well. There is a plan for where he will live when he comes back. I'm not sure what his plan is about school and work. He needs work first so we'll see how that goes.
He's been in a pretty good mood the last few times we've talked. Tonight I was able to give him his girlfriend's number (because no one memorizes phone numbers anymore .... you just push a button on your cell phone .... and there it is! Ha ..... doesn't work so well if you're without your phone. I totally think we are dumbing ourselves down with all of this technology. But what do I know?).
Anyway, I'm sure he had a very happy evening since he was able to call her.
Still no word on when he leaves. And it seems that our tax paying dollars go towards allowing guys who are getting drummed out of boot camp, to sit around for a week or two, and watch movies and play games.
No kidding.
And that's the Marines.
I wonder if the Army takes them to DisneyWorld or something?
Hoo rah!
OK, that's all the news that's fit to print (I'll send a dollar to the first person who can tell me what that sentence is from. I'll give you a hint: TV show.
I have to go to bed now because I have a tennis match at 9:00. In the cold.
And yes, "cold" is definitely a relative term......but for me ..... anything in the 40's is cold. Too dang cold to be outside, running my butt off and chasing a little yellow ball.
But then, that's probably just me.
I hope you all had a good weekend, Peeps ..... and enjoyed the time you had with family and/or friends.
Cherish it.
A lot.
Trust me.
Happy Sunday/Monday, Peeps.
Tell your loved ones that you love them.
Often.
:)

Liz had told me I'd like the voice, and as always she was right!! I LOVED it. It's wonderful to see you happy. May that lovin' feeling go on and no!
All The News That's Fit To Print is the masthead of the NYT...
The writer/editor in me knows that. Do I get a marshmallow peep for that?
Oh, you didn't know about The Voice? Best. Show. Ever! Wait until you see what a little biznacho Christina. She fights with Adam Levine all the time. Oh, and you'll see how condescending Blake can be...
So happy you are happy-this post made me smile-ALOT!
Love you!
I guess people's problems are all relative, but when I read about your days...dates, movies, books, tennis...and more tennis. Or that most of your children are all college graduates...it surely makes a reader wonder...
I have suffered A LOT of horrible things in my life, A LOT. And I always find myself being thankful for the few things that are still OK.
Many people have lost spouses and have had much harder situations than you. Maybe I try to focus too much on what is still OK, but I really haven't had a choice. I'm sorry, but you have A LOT to be grateful for, A LOT.
After all, most people won't be waking up tomorrow and playing tennis. Yeah, the strain of that must be crushing.
Obviously the Anonymous noter above has not been reading here from the start. I'm thankful you're able to move forward and again have someone love you "crazily". I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.
