Here we go, Steelers!!
Not only was that one of the best games ever, with two of the most amazing touchdowns ever, but the night belonged to my boys. Let's hear it for the Pittsburgh STEELERS!
my day was pretty predictable. i had a chess tournament Saturday so i took the opportunity to sleep until 9:30 on Sunday. i watched a really good movie called Hard Candy, and hung with Sao. She was really getting into the hype:
After that i went for my Weekend Walk (such a routine for the past three months that it deserves capital letters) and then a drive and stopped off at the grocery store. i had to stock up on chocolate chip cookies, because i promised my students i would bake "Steeler Cookies" (chocolate chip with gold colored sprinkles) if they won. i hoped as i stood in line that i was not jinxing them.
From there i went over to watch the game with six other football fans. i was the only one rooting for the Steelers... but that ended up being ok anyway, since we, you know, won and all. my friend Amanda lives in the most beautiful apartment... i want so much to move to her complex this summer, if i'm still in Kansas.
When i got home, i immediately whipped out cookie batter and started in on the seven batches (168) that i ended up finishing right before midnight. Sao was so glad that Pittsburgh won, she decided to jump into my Steelers shopping bag and hunker down:
From the moment the game ended until the moment i went to bed and shut it off, my phone was lighting up every fifteen minutes. "How great was that touchdown by Santonio? Can you believe he was in?!" "100-yard touchdown run, and by a defensive lineman!" "Did you see them hooking Harrison up to the O2 after that one?"
"What a great day for Pittsburgh."
Today, Pittsburgh schools (including Ellis, i'm sure) are on a two-hour delay due to celebrations. How great is that? i love my city. i love my boys. Way to go, Steelers.
Oh, and hey, if you guys want some Chicken Poop so badly... send me your address by email, i'll mail you a tube!
