So Maybe Navy Didn't Sink

The Air Force football game was an adventure. We took a party bus down and let's just say it was a lot of party and one very old bus.

FIGHT CU DOWN THE FIELD

Went to the CU game last night with Jason. Had the greatest time! CU won in OT, so the game was close and I was very nervous most of the 4th quarter.

Ready for the weekend, although no big plans. Been hanging low trying to kick an infection. Otherwise all is well on the home front.

So Long, Farewell....

Well, Labor Day marks the official end to Summer. Where did the time go, how is it already September? I guess in some ways, waking this morning to the cool crisp air, and feeling a slight change as I walked into the office with my Starbucks is a welcomed sign, but still I morn the days of heat, flip flops and BBQs.
This weekend was fast as always, packed with busy things, but in many ways relaxing too. Friday Jason and I hit up Brewery Bar for some Mexican dinner, and then had skee-ball challenge at Dave & Busters. I won.
Saturday morning lazed around, watched the movie Definitely, Maybe, then headed to Brighton to stop at the farms for some produce, finally making our way to Jason's parents for the summer fun, late birthday celebration, crab boil minus the crab... I don't really like crab so it wasn't missed. We ate shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, all with our fingers, dumped right out of the big boil pot. It was such a beautiful evening finished off with a ice cream cone.
Sunday started with a trip to the grocery store and then I through some chicken in the crockpot for some tacos later that night. I watched Hope Floats and Driving Miss Daisy throughout the day as I dozed off and picked up the house, did laundry, the dishes, the like. Jason had his fantasy football draft and then came over to watch CU take down those Rams.
Monday was in a nesting mood I suppose and cleaned the house some more and tackled more projects on the to-do list including cleaning up my storage closet and getting some new storage boxes for the junk I somehow can't get rid of but don't use. Maybe again, in reference to fall, but I feel like I need to get my house in order. This week I plan on tackling the craft room that seems to be a never ending project with new things to always be hung, placed, organized.

Busy week at work, but hopefully a fast week.

2.7 Million orders off of the dollar value menu

We could feed a small nation off the money that went into Super Bowl advertising. I know I’m a day late in posting about the most talked about TV spots of the year, but I suppose better late than never.

First, I would just like to point out how difficult it is to retrain your mind into watching the commercials instead of stepping out of the room to grab more chips and guac when the break comes.

I really enjoyed the two Bridgestone tire commercials, especially the screaming squirrel and the other fearful woodland creatures afraid of getting hit by the on coming car, although the animals somewhat reminded me of those from the Jeep Liberty spot (not shown during the football game) where the animals are riding along in the vehicle.

I didn’t really understand why Ford chose to promote their strong tow hooks with the same commercial showing some four times during the Super Bowl.

Coming in as one of my least favorites would be the Audi R8 commercial, which I didn’t really follow (although some say it was the best spot to air). Guess it was a little over my head. The others not scoring strong were the salesgenie.com commercials – I recommend they go back to the drawing board (literally since they were animated spots).

Oh yeah, it was a pretty good football game in the end too!
