Sunday was fun and festive with a dash of shock to boot when the Hawks won the Super Bowl with such dominance. The hubby and I celebrated with my parents and a little party.
I had fun making a banner with my Cricut and the hubby insisted on balloons and curling ribbons.
We had pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, carrots and hummus, deviled eggs, sweet and spicy roasted nuts, chips, beer, and chocolate coated shortbread football cookies. And a little roscato wine to boot.
The hubster and I were concerned about the pork getting done in time for lunch so we got out of bed at 11:30 pm on Saturday and started the pork in the crock pot around midnight. Felt like mischievous Super Bowl elves.
Tried a different recipe for the pork than before and really enjoyed it. Perfect football fare.
Our first football season as "fans" and we didn't miss a game! We're by no means knowledgeable but more educated about the sport now, enough to be able to watch and enjoy which is what counts in our book. I know what a first down is now!
Next season we'll get to do it all over again and we'll enjoy the temporary hobby with or without another Super Bowl :) If nothing else it gave us a regular excuse for "date night" when we'd otherwise stay cooped up.
As for the Super Bowl commercials... I wasn't too impressed. There were some chuckle-worthy ones but overall I remember being left with a bad taste in my mouth about cars, violence, and sex. Overexposure I suppose.
In other news, the hubby and I had a good talk about me and guilt and boundaries. Working on living my life instead of worrying through it... More on that quest soon!
