So much to talk about that I don't even know where to begin!
I know I have been on a mini hiatus from the blog world and for that I do apologize, but now I am back and have so much to say.
So hunker down and pray for daylight because I don't know when my thoughts will stop today!
Let the comeback blog begin!
I want to start with "Downton Abbey".
Which, I love so much I could post an entire blog on just this topic. But for now I'll just cover the basics.
I'd been hearing about this show for what seemed like months. This PBS miniseries-turned-drama series about British people in the early 1900's.
Now, even though I'd been hearing all about it and seeing the show and actors win awards at The Emmy's and such, I still wasn't rushing to the TV or Netflix to catch the craze and join the hype. Why? Well, I don't really have an answer for that.... so we'll just go with momentary PBS boycott. (Hey, I didn't say that was the truth! I just needed a reason that sounded better than I was an idiot.)
So I finally tuned in. I had to watch on the iPad Netflix app because I so stupidly waited so long that now the current season was over and I needed to play catch up. I was down 2 seasons already!
And this is how it went.... I became enthralled!
A surprise to me, yes, because British PBS programs are not in my normal tv nomenclature, but I became completely captivated by it and not just because of the accents!
Although, I cannot lie, I do find myself speaking very British and proper for hours after I watch an episode.
But, no, I was seriously addicted to the actual show. I can hardly wait until the new season starts in the fall.
This British PBS drama that focuses around not only the wealthy family but their faithful (and sometimes not so faithful) servants.
I find myself, neither British, nor wealthy, nor poor, but really relating to all of the characters and really feeling what they are feeling, routing for them (or against them in some cases), and on the edge of my comfy couch cushion watching the story lines and plots develop.
Is Mr. Bates going to be found guilty? Is Mary really going to marry that jerk Richard Carlisle or will her and Matthew finally realize they love eachother? And why is Thomas so gosh darn hateful? Oh the drama!
Luckily most of my questions are answered by the end of season 2. Or so I think. But you know TV, they have a way of pulling the rug right out from under you just when you think things are settled.
So I'll have to wait until late Fall for season 3 to see what new things may unfold.
Ahhh, another reason I do love TV.
Now, if for no other reason, this show garbs your attention because of the wonderful Maggie Smith. She plays the funny, witty, yet proper and old fasioned grandmother or her official title "The Right Honorable Violet, Countess of Grantham".
She holds her own and always delivers. But should we expect anything less from her? I mean, she stole every scene she was in as Professsor McGonagall in all the Harry Potter movies!
I think it's her voice. It's somewhat hypnotic. Shall I dare compare her to the voice talent of Morgan Freeman? Um, Hmmm? Yes, I am.
So in conclusion on my Downton Abbey thouhgts, keep this in mind:
You know this show must be something amazing if it can monopolize the mind of this non-stop, mind always racing, little blonde girl with a minimal attention span for 60 minutes a week.
Now I have that dreaded wait until the Fall before any new episodes begin.
Now, onto the NFL Draft-
One HUGE thought to start off.... Could ESPN have shoved this on our throats any harder? I think they even succeed by making it seem bigger than the Super Bowl. Which is hard to do considering the hype that surrounds that now.
But onto just a few random thoughts of the three day long draft-
I could not be more pleased that the status of Peyton Manning was not referenced over a thousand times. But not as pleased as I am that Andrew Luck has shaved and been to a barber.
He'd looked like he'd been living in a tree and taking a stand against his right to protest showering. But, then again he was in California, so my guess might not be that far off.
Now, onto RG3.... I am a very knowledgable football fan and I do have a lot to input about his football abilities and such, but what I really want to talk about is this guys name. Is this name really going to stick? Are we in for Al Michaels proclaiming "RG3 is gonna take it in the endzone himself!"
As I think about it, I do have to say, how freaking cool is it that he has an awesome Star Wars type nickname just from his initials!
I want a cool kick ass name like that. A nickname that is used so frequently it has taken the place of my actual name.
Let's see if it'll work with anyone else.... I'm just brainstorming here.
Oh I got it!
~ TW1-900 (Tiger Woods 1-900 call girl phone line)
Can't you just hear Jim Nantz in his golf announcer whisper "TW1-900 from the green"
That's all I got today. But tune in and keep up frequently with me.
This is only the begining.
Coming soon look for my personal "Mad Men" reviews and thoughts, the joys of summer family vacations (think Clark Griswold and Wally World), and oh so much more.

Famous Surprises
Where they are now, and how none of us can believe they've become so famous.
Fast forward 20 years ago. Will Smith was just this cute kid in a rap duo with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Then he had that little sitcom about a boy sent to live in his Aunt and Uncle's mansion. Sure the show was funny and we liked it. But did you ever watch that show and think 'Wow! That Will Smith is really going to go places!"
Or how about in the late 90s when you were watching MTV's TRL and singing along with that super cute curly haired boy bander Justin Timberlake. Did you ever stop to consider what the possibilities of him being a very successful solo singer, actor, and hilariously funny SNL host were?
No one can honestly say they thought he's be around longer than a few years and a few catchy pop tunes. Or that they see so many big budget blockbuster movies with that dude that rapped about parents just not understanding. But that's what is so baffling about hollywood. Sometimes it's not all about the talent but their character, personality, and of course their agents.
Jennifer Aniston can be discussed as somewhat of a surprise for many reasons. First of all, she managed to make it past all the attention her hairstyle got, then she managed to become the breakout star of a show with 5 other actors that could be considered better than her. But the biggest surprise is how easily it seems she was able to transition into other roles (even while still on FRIENDS) and that audiences actually enjoyed it.
The 80s were filled with some very cheesy movies. And worse than cheesy movies are cheesy DANCE movies. And that decade was jam packed with them. And one of the best ones (or worst depending on how you look at it) was "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" starring none other than an innocent Sarah Jessica Parker. Now, I think I speak for everyone when I say no one imagined that one day we'd be watching the same girl that was scared to tell her father she was in a dance contest as a fashion icon sexually active New York City sex columnist who so many people loved in "Sex and the City."
How does a person catapult into a huge hit? I wonder how they make that turn into uber stardom? Is it after years of bad choices and forgettable roles or is it simply just luck? I guess no one can say for sure how it happens, but no matter how famous you've become, we still remember when you first broke into show business. Cough! Cough! Mark Walburgh. You can pretend it didn't happen that way, but our first memory of you was you dancing around with your underwear hanging out of pants singing with the Funky Bunch.
Isn't show business grand?!

Workplace Personalities
Workplace Personalities:
While every office has the gossiper, the complainer, the overachiever, and the bragger, there are also common personas that people often forget about. I decided to list those crazy, yet sometimes amusing personalities that add annoyance and/or entertainment during those long eight hours we spend at work.
#1. The Loud Talker:
This person thinks that their 4x4 cube with half wall partitions is a sound proof booth while the whole office can hear every conversation they are having. Work related and personal. So do everyone a favor, talk softly. Or if it's a personal call you're likely to be excited about, take it outside on your cell phone. No one cares about the bad haircut your friend Sue just got, or the super cute waiter you had at lunch.
#2. The 4:30 Social Butterfly:
While the clock is slowly ticking down to closing time they start walking around wanting to chit chat. So as you are trying to finish up for the day and get the heck out of there at 5pm sharp you are forced to have a mindless conversation about your weekend plans and pretend to be listening to theirs.
#3. The Crazy Pen Person:
That person who hunts down their pens if they are missing. If you are at their desk and pick one up just to jot something down quickly they watch your every move getting more and more antsy until you have put the pen back. And if you start to walk away they'll chase you down calmly (and somewhat aggressive and scary) saying "That's my pen!"
#4. The Lunch Bunch:
Cafeterias are not just intimidating in high school. Even at our workplace there is that clique that always sits together in the break room. They sit in the same seats, at the same table, with the same people everyday. They get suddenly very quiet anytime someone walks in. Not making any eye contact with you or acknowledging your existence for fear you'll take it as an invitation to join their table. This person is also a member of the Lounge Lizards. The group that congregates around the coffee maker for a large portion of their day. If you cannot find one of these people chances are they are sharing a recipe or a movie review in the break room.
#5. The Beauty Queen:
She dresses immaculately everyday. Her hair is perfect, her high heels look incredibly painful and at some point during the day you'll walk past her office and catch her putting lip gloss on.
#6. The Gambler:
The guy who runs every basketball, football, baseball or even rugby pool. The guy who wants to bet with you the over/under on a basketball game just for a chance for a free chipotle burrito. They stalk you with constant emails of updates about the fantasy draft or the blind number pick for the Kentucky Derby. He finds a way to make anything into a contest costing just a dollar or two, and yet you usually give in. Has anyone ever checked to make sure all the money is accounted for? We seem to fork over a few bucks pretty easily to a man that should be working instead of calculating the odds on the Super Bowl.
#7. The Germ-a-phob:
The endless supply of hand sanitizer on their desks, the lysol wipes in their drawer, and even their morning ritual of wiping down their phone. If they hear you sneeze they won't come near you all week.
#8. The Sick Day King:
The guy who takes so many sporadic sick days you find yourself adding up in your mind how much vacation time he must get!
#9. The Baker:
The one person everyone loves. They bring in some delicious treat they've cooked up at least once a week. There usually isn't a reason for it, but no one ever complains.
#10. The Person with EVERYTHING in their Office:
Tylenol, Tums, Advil, hairspray, safety pins, bandaids, extension cords, heating pad, and lotion, just to name a little bit of their inventory. This is the place everyone turns when they need something they don't have. The random, odd things no one would ever think of, this person has them. And oddly enough they are neatly stored in their little office. Which leaves us thinking not only "I can't believe they had that!" but also, "How do hey have the room for all this shit?!"

Super Bowl XLVI Wrap up
Although I am a huge football fan and was more into the actual game than the commercials or halftime show, I did come up with a few observations during the event:
#1. Tom Brady is way too tan for a man who lives in New England and just spent the past week in Indianapolis, Indiana. I imagine him and his super model wife Giselle have a spray tan machine in their house and take turns spraying each other down.
#2. The costume Elton John wore in his Pepsi commercial had to have been something from his closet at home. Right down to the gold platform high heels.
#3. Bill Belichick is just not a happy man. (Course he didn't have a whole lot to be happy about last night.)
#4. The camera did not show Peyton Manning the entire game. Which can only mean one of two things, he either stayed home and watched the game from his couch. Or he was there wearing that awufl wig and mustache he wore for the Sprint commercial a few years back.
#5. Cee Lo Green is the black Elton John
#6. Betty White is the funniest damn broad on the planet
#7. How many times were they going to have to call "12 men on the field"? Only 11 players are allowed on the field at one time, something they should know by now.
#8. Tom Brady IS in fact a cry baby.
#9. The dude bouncing up and down on the tight rope during Madonna's halftime show has got to be sore today.
#10. The shiny Lombari Trophy becomes disgustingly filthy with greasy sweaty fingerprints after being passed around during the celebration.
Halftime Show:
And now for my Halftime Show Review. Before I begin I have to say it wasn't one of my favorites but I don't remember a halftime show that was completely awesome. Although the shows by Prince and Tom Petty were pretty close.
Madonna rocked it of course. She made it seem like we were watching an HBO special from one of her tours. The costumes, sets, and a troop of back up dancers made you forget they were at a football game. I have many thoughts on her performance. She sounded good, but was obviously lip syncing. Nonetheless, still entertaining from start to finish whether you liked it or not.
When it started I was confused as to why she had a gladiator theme for "Vogue". What do gladiators have to do with striking a pose? Hmmm.
During the "Music" number I felt like I was watching a 3D movie without my glasses on. LMFAO's appearance was really short. And "Party Rock Anthem" seemed slower and a bit awkward. Then again, Madonna jumping on the one dude's shoulders was enough to make it awkward. Again, I have to say, Hmmm. But watching Madonna sing "Sexy and I Know It" was pretty great though. Is there any better song for her, honestly?
The Drum Line part I didn't quite get. Sure it was interesting, but I felt like it didn't go at all. Bad transitions into it and out of it.
Over all I did kind of wish she would have done more of her 80s material, but loved how she brought it all home with "Like a Prayer". A Tim Tebow guest cameo during that song would've made it even better, but instead she had Cee Lo Green accompany her. Big voice for such a little dude who looked very comfortable in a very sparkly choir robe.
All in all, I think she accomplished what people were expecting out of a halftime show. Over-the-top sets, back up dancers, guest singers, and choreographed lip syncing for 8 minutes.

Super Bowl XLVI Drinking Game
Super Bowl XLVI Drinking Game
So today is the Super Bowl. A day that could be considered an American holiday. We gather with friends and family with endless amounts of wings, chili, nachos, and all kinds of other wonderful junk food that will bloat your stomach out for the next 3 days. (On a side note, here's a great tip to make your Super Bowl Sunday experience even better: Wear elastic wasted pants.)
It's become way more than a game. It is a week long events with parties, celebrity sightings, mini concerts, and yes, even a red carpet. So why not include a drinking game? Play at your own risk and beware the Peyton Manning rule alone is guaranteed to make you pass out before halftime. If keeping up with all the different rules, pick a few and just do those. Special thanks to my husband and brother-in-law for their inputs.
Rule #1: The first time Peyton Manning is mentioned you take one drink. The next time he is mentioned take 2 drinks, the third time he is mentioned take 3 drinks, and so on.
Rule #2: Anytime Tim Tebow is mentioned everyone has to take 2 drinks and begin "Tebowing" in the middle of the room facing the TV. If they show a Tim Tebow highlight everyone must finish their drink then start "Tebowing"
Rule #3: Everyone drinks 1 drink anytime Al Michaels says "Airing one out", such "2nd and 10 and Brady's gonna air this one out to Welker!"
Rule #4: Any time they show Patriots owner Robert Kraft in his suite watching the game take 1 drink. If his sports coat is still on take 2 drinks
Rule #5: Finish your drink if Ochocinco catches a pass
Rule #6: If Tom Brady whines to the officials while walking with them with his arms out, palms up in complete disbelief take 2 drinks
Rule #7: Whenever they show Tom Coughlin with that constipated look on his face take one drink
Rule #8. Drink 1 drink and salsa dance anytime Victor Cruz scores a touchdown
Rule #9: During any type of dot.com commercial everyone must take 2 drinks
Rule #10. When Al Michaels refers to the sideline reporter everyone readies their drink. If the camera stays on the game, everyone drinks until the sideline reporter shuts up. If the camera shows the reporter, everyone drinks until they show the field.
Rule #11: During a beer commercial everyone is to stop what they are doing and watch in silence until it is over...and then take 1 drink
Rule #12: Finish your drink when they show the highlight of David Tyree's amazing catch in Super Bowl XLII
Play responsible and make sure you find someone not playing to drive you home. Especially if the announcers spend a whole quarter debating the chances of Peyton Manning being a Colt next year.
Enjoy and Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!

Top 10 Things People Brag About On Facebook (And with Pictures of Course)
I've complied a top ten list below of common things you'll find people using Facebook to brag about. Oh come on! We are all guilty of posting in depth information about our lives on Facebook. Be honest. (I know I do.) It's not a bad thing. It's one of the reasons we use Facebook. We simply want to share with others things we are so proud of and the things we love. We not only post these things, but we also enjoying reading other people's brag posts. Either out of curiosity, envy, boredom, or just because we are nosy. And chances are there are a few posts we find ourselves making fun of. You know it's true. We've all done it. (I know I do) "What is she wearing?!!" or "That color in their living room is awful" or "Geez! How many dogs do they have!" just to name a few. Some innocent ribbing and criticism is part of Facebook. If you're going to share intimate things in your life for your 967 "Friends" to see, than you need to be prepared for that. I mean, what do you except when you accept friend requests from elementary school friends you haven't seen in over 20 years, your dental hygienist, and that 45 year old guy who shares his grill with you at all the Bengals tailgating parties.
Luckily most people have enough decency not to post their opinions. Although, they'll probably show the post to other people and make jokes at your expense. Oh well, we'll keep sharing anyway. Enjoy!
1. Their kids
2. Their job
3. Their spouse/significant other
4. Their house
5. Their new car
6. Their pets
7. Their weight loss
8. Their relationship
9. Their new hair cut
10. Their vacations

Older, but maybe not wiser yet
Last week I turned 31. Surprisingly I'm taking it harder than I did when I turn 30. But now, I'm IN my 30s! I don't want to be in my 30s yet! And the bad part is, I feel like I'm in my 30s. I want to feel like I'm in my 20s. Well I'd like to feel 17, but my mortgage, credit card bills, and the tiny wrinkles I'm getting around my eyes are keeping me from thinking that.
When we're younger we can't wait to get older. We are always excited for our birthdays.
When you're a nerdy 12 year old you can't wait to be a teenager. At 14 when your parents have to take you and your date to the movies, you can't wait to turn 16 and get your license. Then, since getting your first taste of a little independence, 16 to 18 feels like an eternity before you get to go to college, move out on your own, and make the typical bad/questionable decisions all co-eds do and have to learn from. Sure, now I know that riding in the flat bed of a friend's truck going 70 mph on the highway is not a good idea. But all I thought at the time was "Awesome! I have a DD."
Now after your 21st birthday, it's all just a blur. Your birthdays just all blend together. No big event separates them from the year before. They are all the same.
In fact, I remember a few days before my 24th birthday my mom said to me "So are you excited for your birthday? I guess it's not that big of a deal to you. Being 23 is pretty the same as being 22". I replied "Yes. Yes it is. But I'm going to be 24."
I wasn't upset with her though. Mainly because right after she said it I had to stop and think to make sure I wasn't wrong and had gotten my years all mixed up.
So you sail through your 20s and then after the dreaded 30th, things start to go downhill. It starts off slow, but then you start to get heartburn from certain foods all of a sudden, you're getting up in the middle of the night to pee, and you don't like hanging out at bars because the music is so freaking loud.
I'm not saying it's bad. There are really good things about getting older. Getting married, buying a house, having children (No. I'm not pregnant. Quit asking!) and then ultimately, retirement. Something I think everyone looks forward to the most.
So, here's to getting older. Here's to enjoying middle age.
