No Worries...I'm Back

Sorry for my absence at the end of last week. I just really had nothing to talk about. Honest and for true. *Pause for audible gasp* However, the weekend has left me with a plethora of topics for us to converse about today. I worked a lock-in for 5th and 6th graders for about 45 minutes Saturday morning at 3am. I don't remember squealing that much when I was that age. It was interesting. When I got there, they were playing Sardines, which looked like a lot of fun, but only if you are the size of a 5th or 6th grader.

A scoche later that morning, I walked roughly 7 miles training for my marathon hike in March. It was a good, brisk walk. My friend and I chatted and had a good time.

Saturday evening, my niece had a birthday party to celebrate 6 glorious years as my niece. But, imagine, if you will, what this party was like. Water park. Lots of small children. 100% humidity. It was out of control. But she had a fabulous time as did all of her friends. Made me wish I was a little kid again. She had lots of fun. She got lots of cool gifts. And we all got to appreciate the joy that was bestowed upon us 6 years ago when she came into our lives.

Super Bowl Sunday!! I had a most phenomenal time at the Super Bowl party last night. I actually cheered for the Steelers. I know, I know. I'm sure you're all throwing your hands up in the air in confusion and disgust since I griped about them a few posts ago. But before you give up on me and chalk me up as insane, listen to my reasons. I was happy that Big Ben was able to prove himself as a quarterback and that his rookie season last year was not just a fluke. And if my Broncos couldn't represent the AFC at the Super Bowl, well I'm just glad that the team that did represent my conference won. And I think it's pretty neat that they made history this year by winning. As I said before, you may recall, no #6 seed team has ever gone to the Super Bowl...and they won it! I will confess that there were some bad calls. Seattle should have gotten that touchdown that was called back. I'm not so sure that Big Ben crossed the plane with the football on that particular touchdown. But, it was a hard fought, well matched football game. And I'm always up for a little football!!

I hope that your weekend left you with a plethora of things to talk about as well.
