YAY SAINTS!!!! Woop! Woop! I knew they would win!!! It's a good day in my neighborhood! Did you see the game? They did great!!!! And did you see the end when Drew Brees was holding his son, crying?? Oh my goodness! So sweet! Real men know how to cry! So precious! ;) Watch the video!
I must say, the commercials were just okay. Only one really stood out to me! Watch this! So dang funny! For three million bucks a pop, you would think they would be a little more entertaining. Not so much! I'm so disappointed in Bud and Bud Light's commercials. I expected more from you and you let me down!
The party was a success! I made two different dips and people devoured them! I'm becoming a better cook by the day! Okay, actually the chip dip was Chef Greg's concoction--I just added the sour cream! But I made this Snicker salad--Cool Whip, cream cheese, Snickers, and Granny Smith apples! Yum-O! Everyone's reaction: "I've never tasted anything like it!" I reply with, "Yeah, it's an Iowa thing!" It really isn't, but I recommend you make it! It's delicious! The guys made chicken wings and chili, which both tasted amazing!!!! I am stuffed!
When I get home, I turn on my television and the end of the Titanic is on. The part where Rose is trying to wake up Jack, as he wades in the freezing cold water, dead. God, it's so sad! Can you even imagine having to go through something like that?? Letting the love of your life go and sink to the bottom of the ocean? No way! I wouldn't let it happen. Listen to this quote I grabbed from the end, "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets." Awesome, huh?
I agree whole-heartedly with this statement. There is so much a woman never shares, yet so much she has to offer. We are full of secrets that we will never reveal. I got an email a while back and I would like to share with you some lines from it! It's amazing! It's titled, "One Flaw in Women."
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy, and laugh when they are nervous.
They don't take "no" for an answer, when they believe there is a better solution.
They love unconditionally.
They are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
If there is one flaw in women, it's that they forget their worth.
To all of the fabulous women in my life--family, friends, colleagues, loved ones--I want to thank you for being this strong woman and I appreciate the impact each of you have made on my life. Women are a powerful force and without us, I'm sorry men, but I don't know what you would do! And I know all of you men know this! ;) As much as you want to disagree, you need us! To help you, love you, pick up after you, cook for you, be there morally for you! But you know what? We do it with love and pride, because the men in our lives mean more to us than we would ever be able to express! ;)
So, I called my mom today and asked her if she liked the engagement ring I picked out. Her response, "Honey, good luck trying to find a man who would spend $21,000 on a ring." Yea, yea, I know. Then, when I tried to explain to her the "life long investment" story, she wasn't really buying into it. She agreed it's gorgeous, though! I would like to justify and explain my outlandish wish for my wedding ring someday! I'm just saying that I like the style--I'm not one of those girls who likes the typical one stone setting on a band with diamonds around it. I want something different. Something no one has. That ring is different. If you haven't seen it, check it out here! I don't need a Tiffany's box, or a Harry box (sad face)...I just want something unique that my husband-to-be put thought and effort into designing. I don't think that's too much to ask for! I mean...it is forever! But I'm guessing forever, for me, won't happen for another five or so years in the future. Who knows! ;)
Off of the sappy note. I have a super long day tomorrow--I work both jobs! This week is going to be one crazy week! Oh well, it will at least be fun! I need to get to bed. I'm tired and need my rest!
Note to self: Don't have one today. Don't feel like writing one. Maybe it could be...Happy Monday! Start your week off with a bang! Do something out of the ordinary! Surprise someone! Sing someone a song! Who cares!? Just be spontaneous and different this week! I dare you! ;) Do something for someone that will make you feel good! When I make someone else smile, it makes me feel fantastic on the inside! It makes my day! Do the same! I promise you, you will feel great!
Iowa...good luck with all of your snow! Be safe!
