Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Overall a nice weekend. I stayed home on Friday night, my theoretical every other week game got cancelled again, and while I thought of going to see a movie I decided I would rather just stay home and relax. We got some things done, got the boys signed up for swim lessons, got a number of house projects completed. And we got the house nice and clean for a party that never happened. And I got to watch another well played Super Bowl.
I decided that we (the boys and I) need something to do on Saturdays, out of the house, otherwise we all just sit around in our pajamas and veg. Which is nice, but gets boring after a while. So Saturday I signed them up for Saturday morning swim lessons for February, and if they go well, will do the same in March. Then in April Indoor soccer will start back up again. They boys are excited, especially Daniel.
Then Kim & I got the final touches on the kitchen finished. She had picked up a counter top during the week, and we put that up, allowing us to move the Microwave, and clear off the top of the dishwasher. Which eliminates the moving trash pile that the dishwasher always becomes. And we get more counter space next to the stove for cooking, overall a really nice change, and that finally completes our kitchen project as we planned a while back.
Then we got a lot of cleaning done around the house for the party... and no one came. Well my mom and Connie showed up, and Austin showed up later, but no one else showed. Which made for a quiet party, allowing me to focus on the game, and was actually nice for my Mom, who is recovering from a cold, and Connie, who got a break from Tammy and the kids.
NFL Thoughts
Really an excellent game. Maybe not the best officiated game I have ever seen, but a good game overall. I enjoyed watching it, and the commercials were decent as well.
I was not surprised to see the Steelers win, although the manner in which they did it was surprising. You have to give the Cardinals credit for standing up when they had to with the 2 goal line stands and the safety. And Warner did what was expected of him, in a way it was like the infamous Patriots Super Bowl where he threw that horrible interception, it was just a perfectly timed defensive stunt, and just about any QB in the world makes the same mistake. Crazy that Harrison was able to return it for a TD though, no excuses for that.
In retrospect my pledge to sit back an enjoy football this year, and not let it stress me out, was a success. Yeah, I had a few lapses, but overall it was a good season, I enjoyed football for football again, which was really the goal.
Summing up, a good weekend, capped by an enjoyable game. Got some good work done around the house, had some good time with the kids. And now things can settle down, with no major events for 2 months. Good time to focus on other things, like getting myself in shape. And continuing household projects.
