Superbowl Sunday

I'm an NFL girl...always have been, always will be. In fact, I think the fact that I love football, and most sports in general, was one of the things that my husband found the most attractive about me. I remember when he found out I was a football fan...and not just a fan, but a true fan. I had a team that I loved, even though at that point in time it had been a long time since they had won a Super Bowl. The Indianapolis Colts, in fact, had NEVER won a Super Bowl while they were in Indianapolis when we met. I remember him grilling me on the names and positions of players, perhaps to see how much of a true fan I really was. Now that seems to be one of his favorite games. Sometimes when we are out with friends I find Kevin saying to whichever one of his buddies we are with, "Hey, ask Stacy the names of three or four players on "X" team! She can tell you! She's a sports fan!" At this point, I become extremely embarrassed and try to change the conversation.

The point is, however, I'm a sports fan. ESPECIALLY the NFL! A few years back Kevin and I invested in NFL Sunday Ticket and I was in heaven, for I could watch EVERY Colts game! In recent years we have passed on the Sunday Ticket in favor of saving a bit of money, but I loved that year.

This year, I find myself alone for the Super Bowl. At first I was a bit upset about this. then I started receiving various offers to come here or there, but finally decided that watching the game in the comfort of my own home, on my own, wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I have a bunch of tests to mark, which I will be able to do without feeling like I am ignoring people. I can yell at the TV when the Giants do something stupid. I can order Yellow Chicken Curry from Thai Garden later and not have to share it with ANYBODY. I can surf the Internet when I get a little bored if it is a blow out. Yeah, I guess it won't be so bad.

And in case you hadn't guessed, I'm rooting for the Giants. Not that I think they really have a chance, but I will cheer for them nonetheless. GO GIANTS GO!!! Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to the commercials as well! Since kick-off is less than a minute away, I guess I'd better go. Good luck Giants!
