Today’s Music: The Ramones – Psycho Therapy
Note On Today’s Music: It’s got a good beat, and you can dance to it. Thought it would be fun!
The week starts. The week ends. And here we are, again to celebrate the oncoming weekend! But what is there to celebrate? Well, aside from looking forward to the days off, there were some great posts I got to read! Here’s some of what I saw…
Lorrie had the most awkward conversation ever with her son. Sooz collected some hilariously painful observations about sports and education, and According To Mags showed how football players are sissies compared to moms.
And in a huge honor, Cayman Thorn gave me a Reality Blog Award! Seriously, if you don’t know his site, you’re really missing out.
They, and all of you made it a great week to hang out in the sphere.
(One last note, go to Circle of Moms, where they’re still taking votes for their funniest blogs. So go vote for Old Dog New Tits , According to Mags, Lady or Not and UndercoverL!) (And you can vote once a day!)
Come!Come, let us express ourselves through interpretive dance!
This past week, there was an event. A big event. A delicious even- no wait, that comes later.
This past week, it was the super bowl! It means many things to many people. But we asked what does it mean to you? And apparently it means many different things. Here’s what you said. (As always, my comments fumble along in italics.)
Nothing since I stopped smoking pot! Ginger, Queen of GingerLand
(But that’s the only way the game makes any sense!)

(I think you misspelled pompom.)
pretending it’s still the sunday between the playoffs and the superbowl! BK
(As opposed to a whole bunch of sundays between the super bowl and the next playoffs!)
hopefully NOT blowing my nose (or my lunch)! buddhakat
(Just stick out your tongue when your lunch goes through your nose – two meals for the price of one!)
(No, I didn’t just say that.)
ANYTHING but football!!! buddhakat
(I knew you were the one watching the Road to the White House marathon on CSPAN!)
An early night and lots of you know what? 🙂 Gray Dawster
(I’m guessing not knowing what “you know what” is what led to it being an early night…)
Getting my six pack in order 🙂 Gray Dawster
(I bet after the third, you don’t care what order you’re having them in.)
You’re born, you die and everything in between is filler. Lou Grant/ lindavernon

(But Cinco de Mayo still has the lock on tacos. And diarrhea)
The great big mixing bowl for mixing Christmas pudding MBT
(Only 319 days til xmas!)
The best toilet in the house!
(When you really need it, is the quality that much of an issue?)
A recipe for an orgy, oh, not that kind of bowl, sorry 😦 Gray Dawster

The Puppy Bowl, which is my Super Bowl. Carrie- Carrie Cannibalistic Nerd
(I feel I should make some sort of “Punch Bowl” joke here…)
Knitting while Hubby sleeps thru the game (Stacy)
(Are you making him a remote-control cozy for next year’s game?)
I might actually watch the game this year. Go Niners!
(Oops…)
Eating tons of food and then napping. Oh and football stuff?-Lily In Canada

Band practice might be canceld… PMAO

What’s the Super Bowl? – Emily @ The Waiting
(It’s that thing where people sit around three hours to watch commercials!)
A day to go on a long bike ride and find some BBRRAAIINSS!! (Rutabaga)
(Then you’ll definitely want to be away from the field. And the broadcasting booth…)
Eating junk food I avoid the rest of the year. Bring on the potato chips!
(There’s someone playing football every day of the year somewhere. As if we need a reason to eat junk food.)
A perfect reason to shape a mixture of soft cheeses into the shape of a football
(Martha? Martha Stewart? Is that you?)

(But without other people, how will you know when to cheer?)
Congratulations to GingerSnaap for this week’s winning answer! And from the offered choices, the most populare was Is that the one where they sweep the ice to make the rock go? So congrats to all you die-hard curling fans too!(I bet you’re all Canadian.)
Pancakes aren’t just for breakfast anymore!
This week, there was another event. A big event. A delicious event. Yes, February fifth was National Pancake Day!!!
Since I know you all looked forward to it with as much enthusiasm as me, today’s poll asks what you put on top of yours!
So let us know, but do it by 14 Feb, 2359 EST, because that’s when this one closes. (And if you write an “Other” answer, leave a way to identify you, and I’ll link back to you next week.)
And so, to send you into a weekend that I hope is filled with delightful foolishness, I give you these.
First off, I’m just surprised I didn’t post this sooner. (And it has a great end!)
And for all you Downton Abbey fans, this is just for you.
have a great weekend, and a great week to follow, y’all. See you…out there…
