We had a nice weekend... We didn't do much, but we spent it together. We took our time getting up on Saturday morning, and got some things done around the house. My sweet husband vacuumed the floors and cleaned the bird cages while I cleaned up the kitchen and picked up the family room. It is nice working together...makes it seem like it is not so much "work"...then we went and got lunch on Saturday...something that we enjoy doing...then just ran a few errands and putzed around, ending up with coffee from Starbucks before coming home to finalize stuff for Sunday. On Sunday, we had a good morning at church, then went and tried out a new restaurant and stopped at the grocery store on the way home to get the makings for chili. When we got home, we chilled for a bit, then worked together on making a pot of chili.... Ron doesnt mind chopping the onions, where it makes my eyes swell for hours, so he sweetly does that. Once we got that all together and simmering on the stove, we got a huge quilt, and settled on the couch to watch the Giants and the Packers play.... all of the dogs gathered and snuggled with us, because it was so cold....
At one point in the middle of the game, Ron had gotten up sat down with his mouth full of something... I said... "Are you eating chili?!?!?!" Because I KNEW it couldnt be good yet ('cause it takes hours to taste REALLY good) Ron said "No?" with Chili juice dribbling down his face. Made me laugh...
Not an eventful weekend, but it was so peaceful, it was just what I needed.
Now I have some very dear friends and family who were, I am sure, crushed by the outcome of the game, and my condolences go out to them. I was kind of in the position of being an objective observer this time, because the only preference I have for the team is because of Ron's side of the family and their great love for the Packers. I know that they care as deeply for the Packers as my side of the family cares for the Redskins, so, because of that, I root for the Packers....and I felt badly that they lost, but it was interesting to watch a game semi-objectively for once.... I never do that....because I never watch a game if my team isn't playing
I must say that my company is based in New York, so I do work with people who are very happy about the outcome....so.... I walk the line
I just enjoyed the time on the couch with my hubby and my critters....
a great weekend....and I love my hubby....

ryc: hmmm, i'd be bitter too. i'm so sad for you. what's up w/ that anyhow? usually we (the middle of the U.S.) are the LAST to get the "in" things, etc. i think i ought to send you one..or two ...or twenty! have you tried the checkout stand at walmart?
Heh, fun story.
Much of the fun of football is just snuggling up to watch and enjoy, and I get too tense and overwrought to enjoy when the Packers play, which is frustrating! So now I'll be able to settle down and watch the Super Bowl with no tension involved. I guess that's a good thing. (I'm looking for bright sides here, you see!)
The cats always curl up on us when we snuggle on the couch, too. And sometimes Peter piles on top. It's all part of the fun. Breathing and blood circulation would be nice, but you can't have everything.
That's how I view every football game! I told Matt I could just pick a team to like based on their colors. That way I'll feel good wearing their game stuff! I had chili this weekend too!
