Blame it on the rain

that was fallin fallin
Blame it on the stars
that did shine at night....

Well, well, well...there had to be a winner, and there had to be a loser...and in the end, it pretty much went how I expected. In the end, Rex delivered exactly what he had delivered all season, an inconsistent turnover-filled mess. And not that Peyton and the Colts didn't have their fair share of whoopsies (I'm looking at you Vinatieri!), they just seemed to have the poise under pressure. If the Bears had been up at the half, they might have had a fighting chance, they sure came out of the gate looking good. But they just didn't have the stamina to make it.

It was a fun Superbowl party, the kids were entertaining. Some were cheering for the Colts, some for the Bears.

I do have one complaint. The commercials. They were not as good as they have been in years past. I thought Sierra Mist had some good things - Jim Gaffigan was, of course, hilarious. But a lot of the commercials I'd seen before, and they weren't impressive. A lot more advertisements for upcoming shows. A lot more drug commercials - I don't remember seeing drug commercials in the past. Just overall disappointing. I can remember coming to work in years past and watching the Superbowl commercials on the web and laughing my ass off. This year I can't think of a single one that I feel the need to run right out and view. (Except the Jim Gaffigan beard combover - that's good stuff right there) What are you doing Superbowl ad people???

Prince totally brought it. I thought he was fantastic, even in the Purple Rain.

Hubby got soaked, but had a good time, I believe. And now the excitement is over and it's back to life as we know it.
