Superbowl Sunday

Fernando invited me to go with him and Vince up to a friend's house to watch the Superbowl game in Long Beach. Vince was kind enough to pick me up which was a nice treat - especially considering he had heated seat warmers. Nice how such a small thing and really make my day. You know that saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff".. well I think they should make another saying "Enjoy the Small Stuff". I think too many times people are looking for the big stuff that they miss out on all the little things that can make them happy. I think happiness comes in crumbs, not loaves. Or better yet, scoops not gallons. Because the first little bite always is going to ta st the same as the last bite right? (Unless there are Spanish peanuts and Hershey's chocolate sauce involved like when I was a kid growing up on Sunday nights, then it's a whole other story).

I digress - what's new. So back to the story. We arrive at Fernando's friend's house and, although I am generally a social butterfly, I am suddenly slightly terrified. I don't know why. I mean, these people all seem like they are nice but I guess because there are so many people I don't know that are friends with Fernando, it's different. I'm such an extroverted person and am normally not like this. I talk to the most random people all the time, why is it now that I am socially timid? Who knows. I try to make sure that I sit in the living room amongst people I don't know to ensure I am able to meet others and talk to them. About 45 minutes into it, I start to relax a little. By the end of the night I was running with the big dogs back in my element. Fernando and I had won several of the Superbowl side bets and needed to play some poker to give people a chance to win their money back. I made it several rounds (and several farther than the two boys might I add) but it was getting late. So, I went all in and lost. It was a lot of fun and his friends were great.

On the way home, Vince dropped off Fernando and then the two of us listened to most of The Wall Pink Floyd album. Good end to a good day. Go Giants.
