Ok, hands up who watched the Super Bowl last night???? Wow, what a game. I'm not a Giants fan usually -- actually I'm very odd in that I LOVE to watch football but do not have a favorite team. Doesn't really matter who is playing - I just like to watch it. All season, I was cheering for Brady and the Patriots since he was my quarterback in the fantasy football league I participated in. He kept scoring me crazy amounts of points, but I still came in sixth place out of ten (after winning first place last year - go figure!). Anyway, once fantasy football was over, my allegiance to him and that team was severed. And when the Giants made it to the final game, well, I had to root for the home team!

I've heard a few people say they thought the game was boring until the fourth quarter, but I disagree. Watching the Patriots not get it together and not gel and watching Brady's detached playing was interesting... it's almost like he wasn't in the game or something. And watching the Giants dismantle the Pats' offense was pretty exciting to me. I think the Giants played to win, played a better game overall, and they deserved to win the game, so I'm glad they did. I'm still trying to figure out how Tyree caught that pass... he just really wanted to hold onto that ball and anything he could do to maintain his grip on the ball (including using his helmet to keep it in his hand), he did it. And I'm convinced that they have Bradshaw training by pulling an entire train behind him because that guy would keep going and squeeze out every inch he could out of a play -- he would not go down without a fight.

I'll miss football now, until it returns next season.

The reason for my subject line today is because I woke up to a furnace that had stopped working! Yeah, it was 59 degrees in my house when I called the repair guys... who got here less than an hour after I called. Is that service or is that service? Turned out an outlet on it was wired wrong and tripped the entire furnace off, so they rewired it and it's toasty warm again in my house. Seriously, when I told Mike I was really cold this morning when I got out of bed, I didn't think anything of it because I'm always chilly when I wake up. But I couldn't seem to get warm, and that prompted me to think that a) I was getting sick or b) something was up with the heat. Good thing it was the latter, AND that it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to have it fixed, because I will have to have a plumber out sometime in the next month to do some much-needed work and I don't have money for both items!

We're off to a Devils hockey game tonight - first time checking out the new Prudential Center (aka The Rock) in Newark. Really looking forward to it! The best part? We don't have to drive! I can walk to the train station, take the train to Newark, meet Mike there, and we can walk together to the Arena. Can't beat that! And I get a good amount of exercise -- even better!
