Are YOU ready for some football??

The Super Bowl on CBS

I like football, I really do!  Most Sundays, I'll watch the games while I'm doing my typical Sunday crap!  And I know that the Super Bowl is like the ultimate party but ...there have only been a handful of times I've been excited for the Super Bowl.  And most of them were in college.  When we'd go to the bar, stuff our faces with all you can eat wings and drink countless Bud Lights on the cheap (I will never drink Bud Light again if I can help it!!).  Another was a few years ago when the Giants were in the Super Bowl and then most recently when I went to a party and won the super bowl pool (for the third quarter) 2 years ago!! Woo Hoo!!

So I guess you could say I am most excited about the Super Bowl when I have something to do!  LOL Tonight I have nothing planned!  I'll watch the game and I'll drink some beer...and I'm 99.9% sure that I'll be doing those things alone.  #SolitaryLifeProbs So there won't be any fun recipes to try, any fun pools to win or team gear anywhere on my body! I might just be in my blardigan and PJs by kick off! (Seriously...Maybe if the Monday after the Super Bowl was a National Holiday I'd be more inclined to do it up big and join in on the fun!!)

But what there will be is commercials!  Those I will watch!!  I feel like years ago the commercials were a bigger deal...their big reveal was only on Super Bowl Sunday!  But I feel like we've already seen some.  Like the Bud Light commercial with Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer!  And the super cute Pantene commercial with football dads and their daughters.  Now all I'm seeing is the extended cuts online for the ads we'll be Sunday! I remember they were all so sad last year!!  Hopefully they are more upbeat ones this year!  But for me nothing ever beat Budweiser with their Clydesdales and now puppy!! And that farmer ain't too hard to look at either!

And I enjoy a half time show here or there too!!  There's been so many great acts over the years...and a few not so good ones!  LOL  If I'm being honest though, I'm not really sure who the halftime headliner is this year.  Coldplay I wanna say!


As for the team I want to win...it doesn't really matter to me..there's no home team at the big show!  But if I had to pick, I'd say the Panthers.  They had the best record all year, and that's something!!  So I'll go with them!!

But I wanted to leave you with this....because really!!  One of my all time faves!! (so is this)

Who are you rooting for in the big game?  Do you do it up big or stay home like me?  Let me know in the comments below!  And whatever you do have fun, be safe, and enjoy!!

Today I'm taking back the blog!!

WELL HELLO THERE!!

 If you're reading this, I THANK YOU!  Because lately, I have not been the best blogger out there!!  I took a little bit of a blog break!  And I'm not going to lie...it was longer than I intended.  But I am not going to write down all my excuses about why, or how life got in the way...I'm just going to take back the blog and promise to be better going forward!

With the holidays in full swing, there's lots of fun stuff coming up both here and over at The Blended Blog that I can't wait to share with you!

Today's post is totally out there, but thought I'd be a fun way to get back into it.




{In full disclosure this post is a running list of random.  I started it a while back and have added to it as I thought of things!  I am not sure anyone will want to read it, but thought I'd publish it anyway...it's quirky- like me!!  And so Solitary Life!} 

• I have known for a while now that I'm a serious over-exclamation point-er!!  When writing emails, commenting on blogs, I always use too many exclamation points. Like for every sentence...And I double it.  I have been trying to be more diligent about switching them out now.  But I guess I'm an excitable person!! SeewhatIdidthere??

• Every time I take a selfie, I think...I really need a photographer for this blog!  Thumbs Down for Solitary Life!! 

How could I NOT have inserted a Selfie here?? ;)

•  My neighbors above used to be very quiet people.  These days they're not.  I'll be honest, it's starting to piss me off!!  They are getting the place painted and I guess moving crap around.  And can I just say that it's the girl who is loudest.  When she goes out, she must wear her heaviest shoes, because I can hear her stomping around.  The joys of condo living....but I wouldn't trade my little house for anything!!

• I'm not ashamed to admit that Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas is one of my favorite things.  But I get so mad at the stupid titles of the movies!  They give everything away!!!  UGH!!

• With the exception of Countdown to Christmas, I haven't watched real TV in months.  I have however spent an ungodly amount of time on YouTube.  God Bless Chromecast!  I actually listen to music other than country.  But I also feel better about myself knowing I wasn't the one who created this 4 hour Christmas music playlist!!

• Someone told me recently that I had a lot of coats!  I'll never see that jerk again...LOL (since then I may have bought three more puffer vests and a North Face jacket...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

• I have a three word phrase that I say to myself every morning, that if anybody ever heard, might definitely think I was crazy.  But hey, it's gets me outta bed in the morning!!

• By now I'm fully Christmas-fied!  I look around the place and think to myself, I really should invite people over!!  I'll never do it.  I have a lot of good ideas but executing them is the hard part!  HA!

• Google Hangout is Super Cool!!  Shout out to my bloggy friends, Deena, Shaunacey, Lana and Carrie,  for a fun Saturday night!  (And the distraction from Report Cards....EW! Yes, when you live a Solitary Life, you do report cards on Saturday nights!)

• My favorite thing about Fall and Winter is not having to shave my legs everyday!  Oddly enough, I've been doing it!  I'm not sure why...maybe in my head I think Santa's gonna bring me a man for Christmas?!?! 
  

• My mom would be mortified if she knew the reputation I had amongst my colleagues at work as the "Wine Drinker"!  (now she does...she's my number one blog reader and is very quick to tell me when I have typos!) I tried to dispel this the other day.  I don't wake up everyday intending to have a glass of wine after work.  In fact I say to myself, " this is the night, I'm gonna make a big ol' pitcher of iced tea"!  But then I get to work and things happen and people happen and after the day I had the only thing to look forward to is that glass of wine!  I know I'm not alone in this!!  And don't worry ma....I'm the comedian of the group too!!

• My girl crush on Adele is in full effect!!  Love her new album!!  I bought it forgetting I didn't have a CD player anymore...DUH!!  But put it right into my iTunes!  
  

Thanks for reading and for sticking with me!!  Have a happy Tuesday!!

More Thursday Randoms

Linking up with Vanessa and Penny today for Thinking Out Loud! 

Sharing more totally random thoughts and confessions for this Thursday!

This cutie is my new celebrity crush! 

Austin Stowell is an actor in a new show Public Morals that premieres on  TNT August 25th.  Ed Burns is in it as well.  Looking forward to it.

I tried the layered necklace trend....I think I did ok...but not 100% sure I'll ever do it again!  Any thoughts would be appreciated!!

The top to my Kuerig is broken.  But every time I slam it down and get it to work on the first try, I feel accomplished!

The sound of landscapers at 7:30 in the morning pisses me off!

I sometimes use my washer as a hamper!  Please tell me I'm not alone in this!!

The fact that I'll be back at school in less than 2 weeks gives me an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach!!  

LONG LIVE SUMMER!

I probably won't make my {6 books this summer} goal.  Even though I am THIS CLOSE!

Drunk Texting anyone is never a good idea....that is all.

I heard a story on the news that homes that have a Trader Joe's in their town, cost more money.  I always wished there was a Trader Joe's closer to me but my thoughts: WTF!! I found it online here!

I get most of my news from Facebook.

And on that note I probably should tell you all I Google EVERYTHING!!!

Sometimes I do absolutely nothing....and am completely ok with it...

Share your random with me in the comments below!
Have a happy Thursday!  Cheers!
