Superbowl 2007

I don't profess to know much about football but I always look forward to Superbowl Sunday. This year, Dan and I went to my parents' place for our Superbowl experience.

On Friday, Gin (as I affectionately call my mom-- short for Virginia) invited some friends for this party but in the invitation she briefed her friends that the party would be low key and not to expect much at "the lamest football party ever"-- I figure she just doesn't want to disappoint anyone since none of my family members are the biggest football fans you've ever met.

After experiencing the party, I can honestly say everyone had a great time and it was NOT lame! From the get-go there was a massive spread of food on the table-- I grazed there a little too much! Mmmm...

Our family always plays a gambling game-- based on 10 players, everyone puts in $1.00 and has the opportunity to select 10 squares (on a 100 square grid). Randomly, we assign number values 0-9 on the y & x axis'. At the end of each quarter, the scores of the football game correspond with a spot on the grid and someone wins a portion of the total money pot. I am pleased to announce that I hit the financial jackpot at the end of 2 quarters! Woohoo!

Here is a picture of me with some of my winnings (in total I won $4.00!!)
Gin is an American and here she is, soaking up the anthem:All in all, a great party-- lots of laughs and the underdogs won (me AND the Colts!) Ha!
