The day before tomorrow

We just got home a little while ago from a Super Bowl party and I’ve sat here for the last thirty minutes trying to figure out if I have anything interesting to say.

Here’s the short version. No I do not.

But I will share some things I learned during the Super Bowl for lack of anything better to share.

1. Jack Bauer is coming back, y’all. Jack is back. And it looks like Chloe is coming with him which makes me so happy because she’s like the female Napoleon Dynamite on the show. GAH. Are you gonna eat your tots?

2. Starting the game with a fumbled snap and a safety doesn’t bode well.

3. I really didn’t have a real preference for who won. I originally thought I was cheering for the Broncos but as the game went on I became acutely aware of how little I cared about the outcome.

4. I felt like Bruno Mars and his band were reminiscent of Sha-Na-Na in their gold lame’ jackets.

5. When you eat a dinner composed of chips, guacamole, ribs, brisket, cheese pizza, caramelized bacon, jalapeño poppers, and chili, it might make your stomach not feel so great later. I have so many regrets.

6. My child was a fan of the Super Bowl party accessories.

7. I decided if I ever coach a team that might win the Super Bowl (because that’s totally a real possibility) I’m going to ask my players to not pour Gatorade on me. Water, fine. But the idea of being cold AND sticky? It’s too much for me to bear. I’d have to shower immediately and miss all the post-game celebration.

8. The Budweiser commercials with the puppy and the horse make me feel like I’m being emotionally manipulated. I’m not sure what the end result is though because they don’t make me think I need to drink a Budweiser.

9. If you bet in a pool where you choose some squares and have no idea what you’re doing, you might win $100 because that totally happened to me last night.

10. I’m sad that football is over until August because it’s the only televised sport I care to watch.

And there you have it.

Also, I’m not sure if you remember because I’ve only mentioned it, oh I don’t know, 5403 times, but I have a book coming out tomorrow. And you’ll want to make sure not to miss the blog because we are giving away some fabulous prizes all week just because I love you all so much and am excited about the book and hope you will be too.

And for my San Antonio area friends, don’t forget that I’ll be signing books at the Barnes and Noble at San Pedro across from North Star Mall tomorrow (Tuesday, Feb. 4) from 6-8 p.m. I’d love to see you there because I really don’t want to be sitting there by myself because AWKWARD.

See y’all tomorrow. It kind of feels like Christmas Eve.
