I feel like I MUST talk about the Super Bowl even though I cared little about it this year. I felt bad not going down to Mom's to watch it, but we wanted to watch it on our TV this year. I felt even WORSE about taking Chuck (and a girl he is seeing), Lance (brother-in-law), Keri (sister) and her husband Golden and baby Seerie away from Mom's party also. Mom said she didn't care, but I always wonder...
We had some good food - smokies (thanks Bear), chips, dips, Ribs, chicken wings and M&M's - always the best part of the Super Bowl (unless your favorite team is actually playing in the game).
So, get ready for irony, at half time the TV went out...just turned off. Golden ran downstairs with me to flip the breaker, but it wouldn't come back on. 1/2 the crowd went upstairs to the bedroom (the one room I decided I didn't feel like cleaning on Saturday) and Golden stretched extension cords across the room to plug into the opposite wall. The power on one whole wall just went out...don't know why. I have electricians coming to look things over late tomorrow afternoon - finger's crossed it is not too big a deal. So much for watching TV at our house...
Really the game was pretty good - a nail biter at the end. The best/worst part of the game was the Cousin's who were cheering for opposite teams. Seth (Jason's Son) wanted the Giants and Ethan (Melissa's Son) wanted the Patriots. Travis loved facebooking them about the game before it started and we both hated that one of them had to walk away disappointed. Ah well, someone HAS to lose.
It was really fun to have everyone up to the house. The saddest/funniest thing that happened was, after asking about "boss" (the kitty) ALL NIGHT, Seerie finally got to pet her and our cat pawed her in the face. She has no claws, but it surprised Seerie pretty bad and REALLY hurt her feelings. She did one of those super sad cries...I hated it, but couldn't help a small, sad smile and soft chuckle all the same.
I Am Grateful,

That is so very absurd. Why that day of all days? you know? It feels like a set up. HAS to be. Things just aren't that ironic.....are they? That would have been funny/cute/sad seeing Sier get a little face jab from "The Boss"....she is just letting her know who's who....living up to her name I guess. Let me know what the sit was w/ the power.
ReplyDeleteIt did feel a bit like a set up...The fix was necessary, but simple. There was a wire in one of the outlets that had disconnected and caused the whole wall to go out...it took less than an hour for them to figure it out and get it resolved. Everything is all good again.
