Super Bowl Sunday is coming! GO STEELERS!!!!
January 28, 2009
Our cheering section!
Super Bowl Sunday is on its way! I have a VERY happy family. You see, I married into a frenzied mob of ardent Steelers fans. My husband, his sister, their parents, and the majority of their family are all from Pittsburgh. And I was born in CLEVELAND. The things we do for love!
We traveled out of town the other week to stay with Mapman’s parents & watch the Championship games. It was amazing how my husband’s demeanor changed after the second game began. He and his parents were SERIOUS. There was a lot of emotion in the air. I don’t think I would be able to handle watching the Super Bowl with them (we can’t anyway). So much tension, so much drama! Plus I tend to talk too much during sporting events, and serious sports fans don’t usually appreciate that.
By the way, as serious as my husband is about football, he still fell asleep at the end of the AFC Championship. FIVE minutes to go, not sure if they can hold off the Ravens, and he is falling asleep. Cleveland-born little me was yelling at the screen and cheering with HIS parents, and his head was nodding! *shakes head* What an old man!
I honor of the Steelers’ AFC Championship win I spent over an hour (when I should have been doing other things) in the attic rummaging through old baby clothes to find the Steelers outfits my 2 boys wore as babies. *Sniff* Memories! I then dressed up their Teddy Bears in their old outfits so that they can help cheer for the team on Sunday.
My sons' bears are now wearing their old outfits. AWWW!
I haven’t been able to find our Steelers flag since we moved… THREE YEARS ago! Maybe I should finally finish unpacking?
In other random (and humorous) news, there is now a Facebook group called “SUPER BOWL SUNDAY SHOULD BE MOVED TO SATURDAY, OR MONDAY SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY”. Amen to that!
It should be an interesting game. Too bad it couldn’t be Philly vs Pitt though, that would have been COOL! Although, *whispers* I actually like Kurt Warner. Am I allowed to say that? But I am still rooting for the Iron City.
I am also looking forward to the commercials, of course. 
Super Bowl Sunday, HERE WE COME!!! Go Steelers! Come on, everybody do the Pittsburgh Steelers Polka!

The teddy bears look perfectly dressed for the occasion. I hope the Steelers win because my SIL is a big fan, but I’m not even going to watch the game. First on DIY network they are having The Toilet Bowl (bathroom renovations) and I will probably watch a little of that. And then the pottery painting studio is having a 20% off sale on bowls. I’m going to take the children there in the afternoon.

Random, the cards played an incredible game!!! Wow.
Casdok & FW, thank you for commenting on the bears!!! I had been pouting because no one had commented on how cute they were
Casdok, I had been wondering how you were doing. You hadn’t blogged at MOS in a while. Hope things are good!
