COLTS VS. BEARS

What an exciting day it is today! The colts - our home state team - play the bears. Now we live right in the middle of both of these teams territories and the city is pretty well divided on who they want to win. You often see signs like "Go Colts - play well Bears!" I am rooting for the colts, they are, after all, our states team, and it would be so cool to have Indiana recognized for something besides Corn and the Indianapolis 500! No offense Indiana but as far as big events go we don't have a lot! You see people walking around with colts jerseys, hats, and one couple had feathers and sparkly things attached to the hats and the whole family looked that way! And that was on Friday! It really is rather fun, and the excitment in the air is palatable! There is an air of anticipation in the city. There are super bowl parties everywhere, there usually is superbowl parties but they seem bigger, more promoted somehow.

We won't be going to any parties, my daugther has been really ill, the whole past week, and the new antibiotic brought with it a new outlook for all of us that she is on the mend. It has been a horrible week of worry for me, as she was so sick. But yesterday she was up most of the day and even helped me bake, and talked to me. She did NOT have mono so that was a good thing, but what she did have we are not sure of. She has yet another doctors appointment on Monday. I am getting sidetracked here.....so we are staying home for the superbowl, which is fine by me. I love the superbowl commercials and it seems like when ever you go to a superbowl party everyone talks during the commercials (usually the best part of the whole show) and you can't catch them. Then I have to find them on the internet and watch them, hoping my connection is stable and doesn't cut out! And this really is going to be an exciting game. I love watching football, especially when it gets to the championships and the superbowl!
So our night will be spent at home. We bought some cold meats and chips and dips and we will have the customary treats for our own private super bowl party. It should be fun! The kids and I will have a ball and the show will be good! Party on Colts Fans!

PS - THE COLTS WON!
WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! THe colts won! And what a game! Oh my gosh! It was so exciting! Indiana is on the map for something besides cars running around in circles! WHooooo hoooooooo! Do you hear me dancing in the house? Do you hear me shouting? Do you hear me screaming? Do you hear the happiness in my words? WOW! WoW! WOW! Tooo coool!
