Ground Hogs Day - 2014

Darn that Puxatawny Phil!
     It should have been obvious that a ground hog seeing his shadow today would be a sign of things to come.  Bad things to come.  Today didn't seem that way initially.  Spin class was great.  But after that?  A lot of unexpected curve balls.  I didn't get half of what I wanted to accomplish done.  Even the Super Bowl was lousy.  So were the commercials overall.  Sure a few were amusing but on the whole they were disappointing.  Then there was the weather forecast.  Snow.  Didn't see that coming.
     The highlight of the day was the fare for the Super Bowl.  I made a beer cheese soup from scratch.  Coco, Demi and I thought it was a hit.  The garlic knots turned out very well.  Lots of garlic butter.  No vampires would dare come anywhere near the place tonight.  The hero sandwiches were great.  Coco chowed down.  He put on a display.  The put down the hero, 5 garlic knots, 8-10 jalapeno poppers, and a bowl of beer cheese soup.
     The Super Bowl was truly about the family tonight.  Even though Caz was not here for the first half, it was a great family night.  I got Caz a very special root beer in a cool bottle.  I got orange cream soda for Coco.  We wrote up some prop bets and everyone had a guess.  We had to time the performance of the national anthem.  We had to wait for the temperature.  We had to wait until the 4th quarter to see which sideline report would be shown first.  Oh, Erin Andrews.....Definitely, the prop bets were the most entertainment of the night.
