Super Bowl Sunday
My friend Julie just blogged about how important a witty title is to attract the interest of potential readers. Clearly, this week I am not trying to attract anyone new. I’m either writing for current followers or for those who just love the painfully obvious, what with clever titles like ‘Handy Manny Cake’ or ‘Lilly’s First Haircut’ floating about. Pardon my Super Bowl Sunday thing. Duh.
A side effect of NaBloPoMo is that my titles suffer.
So aside from the obvious, we’re not doing much. I’m making some yummy snacks and using the prize pack I won from my friend Mary and Old El Paso. I’m a big football fan so this Tackle The Taste package is right up my alley, and green chilies – yum.
And the big game, of course. I’ll be watching here:
No, that’s not a movie theater, or a high school gymnasium. It’s actually our family room, and my husband’s new, embarrassingly large television. It’s like 400 inches wide or something, just so that no one has any doubts about who the smart one is in this house. Me with the books, him with the barcalounger and remote.
You decide.
He ordered the projector from China – bought it on ebay. It’s apparently 1/20th of the price that way. I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, but him notsomuch. This contraption arrived Friday evening, and he spent the entire weekend re-arranging, building, re-wiring, mounting, and hanging it all up, just to be ready for game day.
Too bad we don’t care about either team.
But hey, at least I’ll have a comfy spot to eat my chips and guac, right? And it’s almost as great as being in Miami, since the players will appear pretty much life-sized in front of us.
Not that I’m bitter about the whole big dumb stupid ridiculous absurd tv thing. Not at all.
Happy game day!

Well we will not be viewing the game on such a gigantic contraption, but we will be having some football munchies in our spiffy new football bowl, too!
The consensus in our house is the Saints will be triumphant.
(yeah I don’t really care either way, just going with the flow)

Oh my word. My husband would have total TV envy. We also have a ginormous contraption of that nature, bought a few years ago on Black Friday online. Apparently it was the “deal of the century.” While I do enjoy some TV programs, I am fine with a standard little TV.
LOVE it & same here. 
Me with the books, him with the TV.

SO happy to hear you rant about the TV. Because we are having the same issue here in our house. Though we are in the “before” phase… like, “before he gets to purchase the movie theatre sized TV screen.”
Thankfully, my husband doesn’t read you blog, or we would have a serious case of “Keeping up with the Jones’ here.”
