Things I Won't Be Doing On Super Bowl Sunday

Who is watching the Super Bowl this weekend?

I'm not.

I've never found football particularly thrilling. It's just a bunch of men running around in tight pants to me. I'd rather read.

However, I do tune into the Half Time Show. And this year will be a fun one with Bad Bunny and Green Day. 

Here are things I won't be doing on Sunday:

Cook.

Sundays are the day of rest. I'm always in awe of the women who are like, "My husband wanted to throw a Super Bowl party so I need to make a list on what I'm going to make!" My face is all:

Shout.

It drives me insane when people shout for no reason. So an overpaid padded player drops the ball? Big deal. I was more upset when the show Friends made us wait to find out what would happen after Ross said the name Rachel at his wedding to Emily. That's something to shout about. We had to wait like THREE MONTHS to witness the aftermath of that debacle. You don't shout over a fumble. You shout over cliffhangers and when things like this happen:

Rooting For A Certain Team


I generally pick who I want to win based on the uniform color. I'm not a fan of the US right now or any of their colors, so I am rooting for the Seahawks. Someone asked me the other day who I was rooting for and I was like, "the Seahawks, I guess," and then they launched into a story of players on the team and such, and I was like: 

Go Online And Bash Moves That Players Make

I'm always in awe on how passionate some people get online. This one chick was all, "If you say a bad word about *insert football player here* I am UNFRIENDING you." Over FOOTBALL! I mean I'd totally understand if the person was like "If you try to get me to stop drinking Diet Coke I'll unfriend you" but football? 

Run Through The Streets After The Game

I mean, I'd be tempted to run through the streets because FOOTBALL IS OVER, YAY! No more games interrupting my shows! So maybe I WOULD run through the streets. 

------

So if you're watching the game, have fun! I have many people in my life who LOVE football and think I'm crazy for disliking the sport. I'll either be reading or watching 90 Day Fiance. I'll still be stuffing my face though. You don't need a football game to enjoy wings and cheese dips. 

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to think it's sweet that Natalie wanted to come home from college just so she could take a bath. She's been sick and has a build up of mucus, and obviously there are no baths in college. So she came home, took a nap, and a bath. 

......to be glad Natalie was able to see Iron Lung before she felt too ill. She's been watching Markiplier on YouTube since she was small, and he directed this film, so she had to watch. She said it was really good! I would have no clue what it was had I gone, so I'm glad she went with friends. Tommy also got to see it and enjoyed the movie. 

.......to have finished watching Heated Rivalry on HBO Max. I kept hearing about it and saw edits on TikTok so I thought, okay, I need to watch. And it will hook you! It's based on books, which I swore I read. 

......to be skipping the Super Bowl. Football tends to bore me. I might tune into the halftime show though! 

......to have tried the new snacks from QuikTrip. They have mozzarella sticks and apple pie! Both were delicious! The sticks were $3.99 for 4 and marinara sauce, the apple pie was $1.89. These are perfect if you need something to tide you over until the next meal.

It's The Last Day Of Dinosaur In Animal Kingdom

 I cannot believe Dinosaur is closing in Animal Kingdom.

It's this ride in the dark that jerks you around as you sit in a jeep. You're supposed to be finding a certain dinosaur and it's just...well, okay, it's a bit cheesy, but we love it. It opened in 1998. 

And now, today, February 1st, is the last day. An Indiana Jones ride will be replacing it. And yes, we did enjoy the ride in Disneyland, but it's just not...Dinosaur.

We visited Animal Kingdom over the summer and made sure to experience the ride one last time. In fact, my daughter even dressed up as the paleontologist that speaks to everyone before the ride, Dr. Grant Seeker. He wants everyone to search for a specific dinosaur that went missing called the iguanodon. 

The outside of the ride has dinosaurs, and it's sad that it's going to be GONE. We liked checking out all the fossils. 

We are going to miss all the photo ops. 

We've been seriously taking pics since the kids were tiny:

Plus, there are actual artifacts inside. Natalie would actually take the time to see what they all were. 

We ended up going on the ride twice so we can remember it the best we could. It's going to be sad not hearing "THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT, THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!" at the end and then hearing the relieved, "They MADE it." 

I guess we won't be making it anymore. 

Natalie had to purchase a dino hand puppet in the store. She named him Barnaby. He's stamped with Dinosaur so we'll always know where he came from.

I picked up this magnet. I wanted a pin, but they sold out. I guess the ride is truly in the past now. *Sniffles*

I am sure we'll enjoy the new Indiana Jones ride. But ugh. Poor Dinosaur.

We took one last look at our beloved ride as we walked away. Farewell, Dr. Seeker. Farewell, jeep that made my back twist. Farewell, that certain smell that could only come from the ride.

Farewell, Dinosaur. You will never be forgotten.
