Super Superbowl

Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors. ~Frank Gifford

Watched the Super Bowl all the way to the end last night -- for those of you not on Eastern Time that may not seem that hard, but OY, it was for me. I miss California time...

Best part about the game? That is WAS as game. I watched to the end because, even though at halftime it seemed over, the Steelers rallied and it was any teams game after the third quarter. Well done, both teams.

Anyway ...

Before it started, DH said, "Who do you think is going to win?"

Being ever informed, I asked, "Who's playing?"

"Steelers and Packers."

I thought for a moment, having no idea who was expected to win. Went with my gut for the Cheese-Heads. "Packers."

"Cool, cuz I think the Steelers are going to win."

See ... that way, we could root against each other and make it fun.

A few things: I absolutely *HATE* the GoDaddy commercials. They're one of the reasons we don't let DD sit and watch the show. I swear, there is no more "family" entertainment anymore, and it frustrates the snot out of me.

Loved the Volkswagen Darth Vader commercial, but was sad how much was cut out from when I watched it at Melissa's blog. Here it is again, in its entirety, for those of you who didn't see it:



And I thought the Packers QB, Rodgers, was the reason they won. He got hit a dozen times (hello, offense... protect your QB!), his one wide receiver (Nelson, I think) was a fumble fingers (reminded me of Clifford Franklin in "The Replacements") but he kept it together. Every time I saw him, he looked focused and completely un-rattled. I was thoroughly impressed.

So ... good for you, Packers!

Speaking of "The Replacements" makes me have to post this:



In other news, I wrote 320 words last night during the game. LOL... usually I can't write with distractions, but it worked for me for whatever reason.

Your Love Word is "Devotion"



For you, love is a doing word. You prove your love with the actions you take every day.

You are loyal and true to whoever you're in a relationship with. You don't give up unless things are absolutely hopeless.

You don't love easily or quickly. You only will fall for someone you truly and completely adore.

Once you love, you love intensely. You take love very seriously.



Yep.

The Darth Vader one was cute. I also liked the guy who was dog sitting all those dogs and he threw a party and made the dogs do the catering.

I didn’t watch the game since I don’t understand the sport. Instead, I tried to catch up on my e-mails. I did enjoy the commercials though. Good luck on writing with distractions. I’m horrible with that. I need absolute silence when I write.

We didn't watch either, though hubs kept Daughter up to date for the score. (She likes football.)
I haven't seen any of the commercials except for the VW one on Melissa's blog last week.

Your Love Word is "Friendship"
For you, love is steady, rational, and logical. Love usually makes sense.
You could only love someone that you admire and relate to. The person you love has to be your friend first.
You've never been one to believe in opposites attracting. You tend to fall in love with a person who's complementary to you.
You believe that respect, affection, and companionship are the foundations of a good relationship.

True.

I hope you have a great day!

My favorite commercial was the Chevy Silverado as Lassie. "I didn't even know this town HAD a volcano!" LOL!!!

The VW/Darth Vader was one of the few commercials that I enjoyed last night.

Kudos on your word count.
