So, the commercials were pretty lackluster this year.  The usual Clydesdale horses were winners hands down.  I was glad to see them back. I did have a few laughs at some of the commercials, but for the most part there wasn’t anything that stood out as totally awesome.   I really hate when there are commercials which have already aired and they put them in the Superbowl.  I love the Sprint roadie commercial, but I had already seen it.  Same with the Taco Bell date commercial.  Its like, you already spent the money on securing the time slot, the least you could have done was put out a new commercial!!!  My top five commercials this year are:

1. Bud Clydesdale Daisy the circus horse finds love.  Best one I saw this year!

2. Bud Clydesdale Fetch – The dog and horse fetching  was funny and realistic.

3. ETrade babies -the baby who was singing was too cute!

4. Teleflora – Who are they by the way?  He doesn’t want to see you naked.  Too damn funny!

5. TIE  Bridgestone stolen tires on the moon and Careerbuilder tips  on needing a new job.

Some honorable mentions would be Sobe, and I could have found it more entertaining if I knew who the football players were.   Hulu with Alec Baldwin was funny and the Cheetos with the pigeons was great.  The rest were pretty business as usual.  

So other than that, I was disappointed that Arizona couldn’t pull off the win, I thought they could have had it towards the end, but they just didn’t pull it off.  Bet the quarterback for AZ is kicking himself for that second quarter interception.  If I had to guess, had they gotten that TD they would have taken the game.  I have to feel sorry for that QB.  Oh well, maybe  next year! 

Other than that, pretty lame weekend.  But today is Monday and I of course will be pretty busy putting my house back together after a weekend of family fun.  I go on a cleaning strike throughout the weekend.  I just get so annoyed that my family has no respect to even try and help clean up over the weekend, so they can hang in a mess until I can’t take anymore!! 

My husband was home this weekend and he always contributes to the mess in ways the rest of us can’t.  (More on him in a later post!!!)  And my daughter actually said to me “You clean it up, it’s your job.”  I swear, the older she gets, the harder it is not to just slap her face off!!!  She can be such a bitch, but I know she gets that honestly which helps with my patience and control. 

So, just a quick post for now as the house is to messy that I can’t concentrate on writing knowing how much I have to get done.  It’s time to take my Ritalin, put on Sirius satellite radio, and bust arse!!

HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!!!

So, I go to my in laws for dinner last night and they ask me what I am doing on Sunday.  Hmmm, not sure, but why are they asking?  So they say, “You are in your own little world aren’t you?”  Hmm, guess so, because I didn’t know that the Superbowl was on this Sunday!  And of course, I have no idea who is playing anyway!  But I love to watch the commercials.  I swear it is the best part of the game!

I wonder if Budweiser is going to have the best ones again.  The job search sites also have good ones, and Pepsi and Coke are usually pretty good!  My favorite from last year was the dog and the horse training to be in the parade.  That commercial just rocked!  So, I guess I should thank them for letting me know that my favorite commercial time is coming up.  It is the ONLY time I don’t mind the commercials and stay in the room for them.  Actually I rarely watch TV.  I choose to DVR the shows that I am interested in and then FF through the commercials. 

Which makes me think that our universe is moving a little fast isn’t it?  It’s already time for the Superbowl, and I could have sworn the season had just started!  Time moves very fast these days.  I wonder if it is because there is sooooo much stuff for us to do as opposed to when I was a kid.  I remember having only 3 TV channels, 4 if you count PBS and never getting to watch anything anyway!   We were always playing outside and didn’t have to worry about some freak offering us candy or needing help finding a puppy!  What has the world turned into? 

Times are crazy these days.  I remember not having anything electronic, and now, my kids have MP3 players, laptops, video games, and are still begging for cell phones.  There are so many things for them to do now days and they still get “bored” with it all.  How can they be bored with all that stuff??????   I have to wonder do kids just get bored no matter what?   I think so.  I remember getting bored as a kid, but usually we were thrown outside.  Now days thanks to “crazies” you can’t even do that.  My parents had it easy!!!!!  They would tell you differently, but I swear they did.  They had less to worry about, less information hitting them daily, and more time to spend with their kids.  (not that they did mind you – but I get that now!!) 

So this Sunday, I am going to sit with the kids and watch the commercials with no laptop, cell phone, mp3 players, or video games.  Just like when I was a kid ~ watching football with my mom and dad and screaming at the TV whenever our team made a touchdown.

By the way, who is playing???
