Aaron Rodgers is my hero

The last time the Green Bay Packers were at the Super Bowl was 1997. That was 14 years ago! That's way too long if you are a member of my family. My dad has been a huge Packers fan since he was a youngin and the love for the team got handed down to the rest of the family. You can probably imagine our pure joy and happiness when the Packers defeated the Bears a few weeks ago in their championship game. Winning that game meant they would be heading to the Super Bowl; a long awaited day in my family.

Just to give you a little glimpse of how important this was to my dad especially, we had this conversation a few days after the championship win.

Me: So the last time the Packers were at the Super Bowl was in '97, right?

Dad: Yeah

Me: And they played the Broncos?

Dad: Yeah

Me: And they lost?

Dad: Yeah

Me: And you were heartbroken?

Dad: Yeah

Me: We don't talk about that day, do we?

Dad: No

So on Super Bowl Sunday we had a little get together. It was planned for more people but a few had a family emergency and weren't able to make it. It ended up being my whole family and a couple of friends. Usually I really don't care about the game and only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials but this year the commercials kinda stunk so I'm glad our team was playing.

The moment the Packers won my dad and brother got so excited and started yelling and cheering like there was no tomorrow. This made my dog start barking like crazy and scared the crap out of my cat who was sleeping on my lap. He lept up and scratched me through my jeans so now I have a nice cut on my leg but I say it was worth it. The Packers won! Wahoo!

To top it all off, there was a fantastic Glee episode right after the game. And another new episode two days later. Best week ever!

"just come out so we can talk...or sing about it"

I love fall...mostly because this is the time of year when all my shows come back on. I've had them marked on my calendar for a while now...some may think that's pathetic but I prefer the word "dedicated".


For sure the most anticipated show for me is Glee. No question. I especially cannot wait to see John Stamos' debut and the Brittany episode. However, I have been sort of addicted to the show Supernatural for the past 5 seasons and wasn't sure if it was going to come back for a 6th. They basically wrapped up all the loose ends at the end of last season because I think they weren't sure if they were going to get picked up again. It kind of ended a little weird like they didn't have enough time to plan out the story line before shooting but I am so excited I get to see more of the story. Its kind of a weird show but very entertaining. And the two brothers on the show are quite attractive. I'll be honest--that's the reason I started watching it in the first place lol.


Of course all the CSI shows are coming back as well. I don't really care so much about Miami and Vegas...New York is my favorite. I love me some Don Flack :)


Also this fall I am going to see the Lion King at the Capitol Theater. I cannot wait for that! I am so excited. And October brings The Drowsy Chaperone! I saw it a year and a half ago in Logan and have been waiting to see it again since then. I saw it was going to be at Hale Center Theater 2 Aprils ago and I have been anxiously awaiting for it to open. Only 1 more month to go!

updates

Alright I suck! I have totally been slacking on my blog posting even though I said I was going to post at least once a week...I didn't make it. Anyway I have a few things to tell all of you.

1. I went to the Josh Turner concert and I actually got to meet him! It was pretty epic. He signed my guitar! (I will try to post some pics of that later....)

2. I finally finished my new headboard. I know I said I was going to do a wood head and footboard but I totally changed my mind and went with just an upholstered headboard. It took quite a while to gather up the materials and finally finish it but it is done! My family and I put the final touches on it tonight and I think it turned out awesome! Check it out!

3. I learned the other day that Whitney is coming down sooner that planned so we can go see Step Up 3D! I can't wait. It's gonna be so cool!

4. I got some great new about the up coming glee episodes like...Britney, Michael, Figgins' Beat It, Nazi Hunter Carol Burnett, Mike Chang finally getting a bigger part (and a girlfriend--totally called that one!),...and much more but I think you get the point.

5. I had yet another Will Shuster dream. I was part of his glee club practicing the choreography and it was pretty awesome. All I could think of when I woke up was the line in the "Home" episode when April yells in the cabaret roller rink, "Will Shuster?! I had a sex dream about you last night!" Too funny

....I'm sure there is more that I am missing but I am going to call it good. If I think of anymore I will let you know. But now I am going to check out the meteor shower! Hope it's good!
