February 7 11

Let’s just take pause for a minute to commiserate with all the Steelers fans out there.

But just a moment. Because. SuperBowl XLV Champs, baby!!!!!!!!!!

I will be spending my morning perusing the internet for some championship t-shirts working. We went to our friends for a wings n’ chili party. It was a ridiculous good time. I spent most of the game with my stomach up in my throat because, seriously, could that have been any more of a game? I suppose it’s better than a complete blowout, but I’m guessing that my football-season-long ulcer would disagree. And then I spent the rest of the time teaching Ilana how football works. (I will probably get her to become a football fan before I get her on Facebook.) The cookies I made that morning and thought were a disaster got rave reviews. There was a delicious baby there. ALSO, I totally won $40.

Not a bad way to spend an evening, eh?

Except, of course, for two things.

A) the lack of American commercials – NO, I do not know what you are talking about when you say GROUPON or Adrien Brody singing or Bieber.

and

B) the worst Superbowl Halftime Show in the history of Superbowl Halftime Shows. I am not a fan of the Black Eyed Peas on a good day, but good granny they were horrific last night. Also, I am genuinely scared of Fergie and her puffy face and adam’s apple.

Look at that! I don’t think I have ever been retweeted. EVER. And then last night it happened TWICE! And they were both Fergie-related, which leads me to believe that instead of tweeting about all the important things I normally tweet about, like how I eat too much cookie dough and how my kids really do say the most ridiculous things (Like, over breakfast yesterday when Josh said, “WHAT’S A STRIP CLUB?”), I really should only tweet about Fergie.

  1. Just for you, with love from (me, and) Adrien Brody:

  3. Your comment about Fergie’s wiener me spit my drink out! It was the funniest thing I had heard in a long time!

  4. We watched the game at a bar which was sad because a) I couldn’t mute Fergie and b) I couldn’t rewind Adrien Brody.

  5. What?!? Nothing to say about the terrible job done by Christina A and how she mangled the National Anthem? I’m shocked. Shocked I say!

  6. Orion…I actually missed her flubbing her words. I was too busy trying to get all of my face-stuffing done before the game started!

  7. I could not agree more – Black Eyed Peas and especially Fergie were HORRIBLE! I just couldn’t look away but I really wanted to scratch my ears out.

  8. I was only sort of watching the game (my husband is a die-hard Patriots fan, and they weren’t in it, so, yea) but I saw your Fergie wiener status and almost died laughing.

    Congrats to your packers! The husband was cheering for them at the superbowl party he was at, but only because he loathes Ben Roethlisberger.

  9. Also, as a fellow Canada-dweller, I couldn’t tune in for the commercials. DAMN YOU CTV!

  10. Go Pack Go! So happy for you and your team!

  11. It’s a strange world when your parents are text-taunting you during a football game. “Nice interception, rapist!” On the flip side, now my son is a Packer fan, because “Packers win, Steelers lose.” For yea, it is the state of nature.
