There is something about the Super Bowl that makes me want to act like a guy. To put on a pair of comfy sweats, lounge on the couch and eat the greasiest, artery clogging, delicious junk food I could get my hands on. Oh, and if I drank beer…yeah, I would have one or two of those too.
But unfortunately, that’s where my testosterone runs out. You see, when I walk down to the basement and see hubby’s massive TV smack dab in the middle of the wall, a surge of estrogen takes over. All I see is a decor blunder. I instantly want to rearrange the room, find a more discreet home for the TV, re-upholster the manly leather couch with white linen and paint the walls with Benjamin Moore ballet white. I want to place beautiful aged decor here and there and fill it with the smell of lavender……………………(can you hear the screeching of the french music record stopping?).
One of the many beauties of marriage is learning to compromise (we’ve been together for 20 years and a we’re still learning). Now I know how much boys love their toys and the need to have a ‘mancave’ and blah, blah, blah, so I happily contribute to the testosterone filled little space in our home. And I know in my heart that if I wanted to turn the basement into my french cottage dream room, he would (begrudgingly?) be right there helping me.
But this husband of mine is wise, and in his wisdom he has been looking at corner TV stands. That way, the TV is not the focal point of the room as we can move it to the corner and install the fireplace we had always originally planned to have. Not only do corner TV stands save space, but unlike dressers, corner TV stands are specifically designed, so all of the various cables and attachments that go along with the DVD player, stereo surround system and game consoles, etc are nicely tucked away. Now that’s compromising!!
In the mean time, we are going to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday manly style (the way it should be).

We live in Green Bay, WI so as you can imagine….We are having a blow-out party…(this time at my daughter’s house)…invitations sent in the mail, prizes for the best poem, the best new cheer, the best dressed (I have that one nailed-lol-seriously, Packer green silky jersey dress, matching ruffled long sweater and a gold scarf…tights and dark shoed..AND a gold and green ribbon with hair pulled back)…winner…winner…winner…
My son and sil are in Dallas for the game so I’m sure we will be getting phone calls for the “real deal” of what’s happening.
Sign me up for the giveaway. GO PACK GO! Hugs- Diana
Just family getting together for Super Bowl this Sunday…we’re all making our favorite snacks and we’ll be headed to my Mom’s to watch the game. Go Packers!!!

We had a “souper bowl” party at church after Sunday school this morning… they sold soup, all you can eat and the money went to our youth group going on a missions trip this summer. That was our super bowl party. Thanks, Amy

Nope, didn’t go to a party. And, didn’t even watch the Super Bowl.
But, our family did watch the Puppy Bowl – on Animal Planet. We love that. 😉

We had a last minute party with all of our friends and neighbors who didn’t have any plans. We had SO much fun, sometimes it’s those unplanned events that create the best memories!!

Homemade pulled pork with slaw, potato salad and cheesecake made our small superbowl party and easy thing to maintain while still having a great time-It’s a longstanding tradition. Go Packers!

I didn’t attend a party, but we did watch the commercials the next day.
No party – but we did watch the game at home!
It wasn’t a real Super Bowl Party, but I had 4 really great guys with me (Dad, 2 sons and hubs) and we ate and we all routed for our teams. I was for the PACKERS! They won, of course! Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi
No Super bowl party for me.

We did not have, nor did we attend, a Super Bowl party. In fact, I’ve never watched the Super Bowl in over thirty years of being alive and being American.
