The trick to the Super Bowl, or Stanley Cup games is the holy grail of the afternoon nap, I got up earlyish this morning, and then by afternoon I was able to have a couple of hours, that should see me through until 4am, with the day off work tomorrow to adjust again!!

Wishing I had picked a meaningful day to quit. Independence Day? Valentines Day? Oh well, Jan 13th is a perfectly wonderful day.

Cold Play has grown on me as the week has gone on Jen, I wasn't sure in the beginning that this was the best that could be got for Super Bowl 50, and the huge occasion.
But now I'm up for them!!

Game time is minutes away! I don't have a TV and I don't care for footbal but I'm here to tell you that Homeland Security has worked really hard to keep everyone safe. I know because I live near Levi's stadium, and the government helicopters have made a big presence for the last 10 days. They have been non stop today since 6:30 am. Earlier the skywriters were out and so too the little buzzy planes pulling banners. I'm kinda penned in at home because of the traffic. No alcohol for me!
I hope everyone stays safe and has fun...and that they all go home ��

We are staying home for the game, kids and I just made a bunch of appetizers. Earlier today, they were were in the garage creating a "super secret surprise," which turns out to be a football field, pretty impressive looking since they used whatever materials they found in the art supplies cabinet (when you have three kids, you tend to have one of these!)
I'm having a tough time choosing a team, I like the Panthers, but I also really like Peyton Manning and would like to see him end his career with a Super Bowl ring. I guess I will cheer for a good game!
Hope everyone enjoys it!!
