Rburger, Rburger, Rburger - turn it around! Pola? where you at? 3 - 21

RBURGER! why you being so negative!  Steelers!  rip some cheese!

Pola thought you were going to get you some Rodgers????

Come On Steelers! Still 3 - 14 GB

Out of respect for a great team, even with our history.  Long time rival and in my mourning period, I decided to back you all the way (after Cowboys lost out) - and you give me this????

I am practically bored!  (did like that little darth vader commercial)
I would say I paid good money for this!  But I didn't, I paid with moving over to the dark side!  Backing the boys all time nemesis - I have been touting Steelers!  Steelers!  Steelers!  And I get this?

Let's rally!  Yeah! Randell L gave me some goods!  Keep it up, let's rock and roll!

And I am loving all the upcoming movie ads!

Packers 14 - Steelers 3

Packers are beating up the Steelers, more ways than one!

Steelers have the ball, they better kick it into gear!

Picked Off - GB scores again! 0-14

Rburger sacked after throw, intercepted!

Touchdown Packers! 7-0

1st Score touchdown Packers and extra point!

Couple of good commercials so far, nothing off the chart yet - game or commercials...

I am liking the movie previews, got a list to go see!

Why am I sitting at home, watching the Super Bowl by myself?  When you have a touch of the flu, nobody wants you to show up for their SB party!

That is it I am overdoing it on the vitamins this week!

Got to rest up for project week (while I am fb'ing and blogging for my friend who has to work tonight)!

Good Game already...

Hahaha ref already lost his cap, Rburger already ended run, penalty on 1st down, denied! GB on their first run...

Great Intro...

Michael Douglas speech, great!

Nice Touch!

Sam Elliot?  Yeah, nice touch! 

On behalf of most women, well, anywhere, thank you.  Very much.

Battle Of The Sackers!

I think this game is going to be a showdown in who can sack the QB the most times!

Both Rburger and Dodger Rodgers can run with the ball and do it well.  Today I see them running for their lives.  Both teams had better protect those two, I see defenses with a common goal - QB blood!

(cool pic)

Rburger is big, but he can be taken down!  There is a whole pack o sackers on GB!

(how did that Cowboy sack get in here?)

Rodgers is fast, but Pola is faster!  And he can fly!  No accident they put his pic on the side of the stadium with Rodgers.  And don't forget Harrison, blood I tell you!

Are They Ready?

Ward dresses for Texas - Love that buckle!

"My name is Raji and I am a cheesehead"

Matthews: "I would like to apologize to Moody for my unsportsmanlike conduct towards her Cowboys"

"...I'm on her list?"

No words.

One more time...?

First time...?

Super Bowl, The Cowboy Way!

Is This Sweet Or What?  The hand made Super Bowl Saddles.

Can you imagine having this saddle?  How sweet it would be for one of those conchos to be for the Dallas Cowboys?  I would want a belt made with them!

Only 2 handmade by Leddy's Boots and Saddlery crafter, (here in Fort Worth since 1941 but started in 1922.  I can remember shopping there with my family when I was a child.)  One for Steeler's, one for Packers.  I got the pic below from the Chicago Sun Times newspaper.

Saddles, buckles and other hand crafted silver items are often used as trophies for rodeos, horse shows and futurities.

Amazing!  What a significant representation for Texas!

There are super bowl cowboy boots, hats and belts made with the emblem that can be purchased.  They are all hand made and takes 100s of hours each.

When I was a little kid, my mom used to tool leather for belts.  Putting the design in the leather, carving with tiny leather tools, she was good at it.  The tack room in a barn was common play area in my life and I love that smell of leather.

Are We Ready For Some Football?

                       


Well this week has not gone exactly the way I thought it would.  This freak winter storm in Texas just threw me for a loop and played havoc in all kind of ways with travel and fun and people trying to travel to sunny Texas for this match up.  Honestly, 70s and 80s last weekend and we have been under a layer of ice now for over 4 days!  I really hate that all the masses coming to visit us, did not get the 70s and 80s!

All kidding and venom aside, I am very proud of my city and my team's stadium and the fact that we are hosting.  It is an amazing venue and you cannot deny it!  No matter who you hate.

Nobody ordered me a limo bus with a sand truck in front of me to take me to the stadium or anywhere else for that matter so I have been stuck inside and on top of that I got some kind of flu.  So it has been a sad disappointing week!  But moving on from there, meds in hand, sunshine outside and ignoring the reports that there is more arctic temps headed our way next week, I am taking the vitamins and prepping for a great weekend and a great game!  I cannot wait!

Keep watching I will be posting some Fort Worth Super Bowl pics you may want to see.

You can deal with this....

...that's it, that's all i got

Sick And Tired And Cold And Maid Is Fired! Also Soup And Egypt...

I had to get it all in one, I plan to sleep through tonight and tomorrow!  No time to fiddle around with a title!

I am kidding, I don't have a maid, but if I did she would be fired.  She did not clean my house or make me supper!  Would that be a maid or a wife? hmmm.... I used to be one of those...

Here is a pic of CT from a friend of mine, this is his deck off of his house, not the landscape.  I told him we just had about 2 inches of ice, that's all.

I am sick and have been Nyquil'd out all day to keep from coughing, which feels like I have multiple broken ribs.  Or to stop the pain of the huge headache I get when I am conscious!

Problem with all this is that it is a frozen world out there today!  And yesterday.  My doc's office was not open today.  Friends are slipping and sliding away or sitting at home by the fires!  Unless you are all electric and you are getting hit with rolling blackouts!

Now I am hearing what is worse to me, natural gas may be doing this too.  OMG, that could cause all kinds of problems, dangerous problems, like the pilot light won't come back on when gas does!  I am so tired.  Just so tired of thinking about all of this.

The only reason I am not in bed right now is because I am waiting on soup.  Must have nourishment and liquids right? and I am a little stupid because I didn't know I was going to get sick and bought the stuff to make soup, not the can I could have opened and had eaten by now :(  So chicken noodle bean soup with jalapenos.  Jalapenos can cure anything I believe, right!  This soup tonight is just heat the chicken and throw stuff from the cabinet into the pot!  I got tired after noodles and beans...  so there it is.

Let's put him in a pot!  (one of my favorite movie lines, Cold Mountain, Renee Z)  Love that movie!

Sidenote:  I am so engrossed in the Egypt news, it is necessary I know.  I have been watching when I am not asleep, for days, but there was a fire in the museum!  More than 5000 years of history, oh no...  Hope they protect it better during all of this!  I made friends with an Egyptian guy when I worked in Montreal.  He had to leave his country and he told me a lot of things, so maybe they will get their country back.

Stay well people, stay warm, stay off the roads and be happy!

Rolling Outages in Texas! 12 Degrees Here!

I woke up to no power this morning.  I would say the silence woke me up, but who knows.  It was cold, oh my gosh 12 degrees outside and I have no electricity, so no heat. 

I reached for my cel phone and started dialing power company, main company (of course they sent me to who services my electricity later) did not know about outage.  Gave me another number to call.  I am sick, 102 fever, coughing and freezing even under the comforter!  Called next number, they didn't say anything, automated.  Me and automated walked through several questions and finally after about 10 mins, automated said "sorry i could not understand your last statement, thanks for calling, Goodbye!"  Massively irritated, coughing my head off and shivering I am pseudo yelling - "no, no, not after all that!"  So I dial them right back, this time the call started with an announcement that we are experiencing forced outages to conserve energy during this freezing temperature time.

Somewhere in between those calls, I did call to get a hotel number for a hotel that is 2 blocks away.  I didn't call yet and I am sure there is not a hotel room within 10 counties.  Superbowl!  And the Stock Show, every hotel is booked solid.    Of course, all is covered with ice, I couldn't have gotten out to drive anywhere, felt stuck in the cold.

I watched every piece of news last night before I went to bed early, slathered in Vicks and doused with Nyquil, but they never said anything about rolling outages.

I could not make coffee, I never bought that powerless drip pot I said I was going to for such times.  I pulled the covers over my head and waited.

In about 20 mins the electricity came back on, thank you Jesus!

It had gotten so cold in my house while it was off, heater is working overtime to get it back up to warm.  I made coffee and watched the news.  They too were surprised by all the outages and then started explaining what was going on.  Only they said about 5 mins, I wanted to call them and tell them more like 30 mins, but I'm too tired to care.  I am just happy heater is working its little heart out to warm my home again!  Going back to bed!

Stay warm people!  And to those not in Texas, when they show us on the news, that is not pretty snow, what you see is ice!
