“You know, from this angle you kind of look like Polamalu!”

Last night was quite eventful for for our household.  The Steelers won the Super Bowl!!!!  Mapman was born in Pittsburgh so he was VERY excited!  Go here to see pictures of our cheering section.  Oh, my 4-year-old, Thomas, said that the “HICKS-burgh” Steelers were playing, so CUTE.  Well, I thought it was cute, anyway.  Mapman was VERY intent on correcting him.  Yeah.  Hardcore fan.  Let me give you a glimpse into what the rest of our evening was like… 

>>>>

Goldie:  “You know, it really would  be a great American story if the Cardinals won, seeing as how they have NEVER been to the Super Bowl and are such the underdogs.”

Mapman:  “No it wouldn’t!”

>>>>

Goldie:  “Hon, can you please record the game?”

Mapman:  “I could, thanks, but I don’t need to.  They’ll show highlights of the game later.”

Goldie:  *confused pause*  “No… I mean for me…  for the COMMERCIALS.”

>>>>

Goldie:  “Which commercial did you like the best?  The Pepsi one with the “I’m all right” dudes, the Potato Head one, or the one with the Transporter guy?”

Mapman:  “The Dorito’s one where the girl’s dress got ripped off.”

>>>>

 

He did like the Potato Head commercial, though.  He laughed a little too hard when her lips fell off and she couldn’t talk anymore. 

Before the game I had let my long-ish brown hair air dry all wavy and was wearing black & gold.  My husband walked by and said, “You know, from this angle you kinda look like Polamalu!”    NOT exactly the look I was going for.

Man, that 100-yd interception touchdown had me SCREAMING!  Mapman kept trying to shush me because he was afraid I was going to wake the baby AND he wanted to hear the announcers.

And can someone please go get the shock paddles, STAT?  Because I still don’t think my husband has recovered from the heart attack that he had during the 4th quarter.  Now THAT was some football!!!!

He was really happy, INCREDIBLY happy, when his team won.  It made me happy to see him happy… although it made me sad to see Kurt Warner sad.  I REALLY like Kurt Warner.  I think he is an awesome person and a great Quarterback.  But I like my husband even better than Kurt Warner.  So congratulations Pittsburgh!  Here we go, Steelers, here we go!!!!!!!!!

PS:  OH  my goodness, I can’t believe I forgot to mention Jennifer Hudson!!!   I was totally rooting for her.  This was her first public performance since her sad family tragedy, and she knew everyone knew it.  She looked SO nervous, took a deep breath… and KILLED it.  Home run.  (I am such a gooof!  Wrong game…)  TOUCHDOWN.  You GO, girl!!!   Dare I say a better National Anthem than Whitney?  I know you made your Momma proud.

My family and I rose for the anthem (I insisted), and as we stood there together, holding each other, I cried.  For her, but even more so, for my awesome Country.

LOST is back, baybee!!!

 

The LONG wait is over.  LOST returned to TV this past Wednesday.  It was gooooood.

I am talking about the Season 5 PREMIERE so if you have NOT seen it yet, STOP READING!!!! Here are some of my random thoughts (do I have any other kind?): 

I got dizzy from all the flash-backs, flashforwards, AND present time!  I actually don’t know now which time they are supposed to be in.  I think that was the point… a personification of what the island is experiencing as it jumps through time.

Who else thinks Sawyer & Juliet will hook up?  Sawyer… mmmm.

And anyone else think Daniel Farraday is starting to look kinda sexy as he mans up and is acting all tough & stuff?

I cracked myself up because a few times I actually guessed ahead of time what the next line was about to be.  Like when Charlotte & Daniel were talking about her bloody nose, and she said, “Daniel!?”  I said, “Do you know what is happening to me?”  SCORE!

(HEY!  Don’t stop reading now, or you will miss an AWESOME clip at the end!)

Do de duck (rubber duck duck rubber duck rubber duck rubber duck duck)

Here is another of those “chocolate & peanut butter” moments, where two great things come together to form something even greater.  Two of my favorite things– Sesame Street & rubber ducks (AND music!). 

There’s a new LOST episode this week!

It is 4am.  I am blogging.  My pre-schooler woke me up crying “I don’t like broken things!”   (what is THAT about?)  Then I couldn’t get back to sleep.  I kept writing blog entries in my head.  Maybe if I knock one out I can then squeeze in a couple hours sleep before he awakens.

I always have trouble sleeping on LOST nights anyway. I get so stirred up! LOVE Lost.  It is one of my passions.  And the ONLY TV show I watch regularly.   Last night’s episode wasn’t one of the best, but it still had some great moments.  Flash-back AND flash-forwards!  (Although, who else saw the Michael thing coming?)  And LOTS of Huuuurrrrrrleeeeeeyyyyyy!!
