Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

I had a hummus wrap for lunch and now I'm eating a salad with fruit for dessert. I'm feeling so virtuous right now.

You should!

I just got home and turned it on. Doesn't look like I've missed much. I have the Puppy Bowl being recorded on TiVo. Mostly I just want to see the commercials, I"m tempted to switch back to Property Brothers on HGTV, which is very addictive.

Also, I went to both Loews and Home Depot and (a) they were empty and (b) WTF, why did the people building this house use the most obscure and weird fixtures and things ever? Both the lightbulb choices and the toilet are weird and hard to find parts for. Grr.

That was quite possibly the weirdest first play of any Superbowl ever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is it just me, or are there more mistakes in a Super Bowl than other games?

The status is NOT quo.

I do wish I had cable for the puppy and kitten bowls.

Nerves.

We made sausage, onion, mushroom, and pepperoncini calzones with homemade marinara sauce. They are the best I've ever made and I am already stuffed before the first safety.

I'm not watching the game, but I am down with nachos and just happen to be headed to the grocery store, so that's convenient. Which will win, Super Bowl empty store, or pre-snow busy store? I'm betting empty; I think people are worn out with the whole snow prep these days.

OMG that sounds good, Liese. And that would normally not be an unusual remark to make, stuffed before the first safety!

I don't understand that Maserati commercial, but I like it.

Snow prep and Superbowl prep seem like they would have a lot of overlap, shopping-wise.

Yeah. Maserati is the underdog?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know! Craziness. Although at least it ended up being only a field goal so they're not two total scores down.
