It's almost here!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going *schizoid,* just waiting for tomorrow to get here.
The two weeks leading up to the game seems to be almost as much fun as the game itself.
Almost.
I just hope they make a good showing....the Colts scare me, and I think the Bears CAN win, I'm just not sure they WILL.
But HOO-DOGGIES, is the anticipation fun!
How cool would it be if this was the beginning of a "dynasty" of sorts -- we could do this every year!
Okay, I can't get ahead of myself....we gotta win tomorrow first.

The Super Bowl Dilemma seems to have finally reached a peaceful conclusion, somehow.
As late as yesterday afternoon, JN was still trying to talk me into bringing SJ along to the party.
It never got heated, but I wasn't sure how it would end up, since he had to go before we got it resolved.
But I heard him telling SJ last night that he can watch the game up in our bedroom while we're gone, so somehow he decided on his own SJ staying here was okay.
No idea how, but I'm good with that.
He wants to get to the party earlier than I thought -- 2 hours before kickoff! -- so we're gonna wind up paying the sitter more than I'd like, but I can deal with that.
So I'm looking forward to it.
Will there be a point during the party when I miss something and it ticks me off a bit?
Almost guaranteed.
But I'll be Tivoing everything here, so I may spend a good chuck of Monday rewatching everything.
I'm okay with that.
I can almost taste that Chicago food now....

And I thought it was cold the other day!
The high for today is 5, with a steady 20 mph gale, keeping the wind chill WAY below zero.
And that ain't even the worst....tomorrow, the high -- again, the HIGH -- is supposed to be -4.
Without a 15 mph wind.
HOLY SHIT!!
We will friggin FREEZE going back and forth to the party, but if the Bears win, we may not feel it on the way home!
At least, I'm hoping so....
The high for Monday is expected to be 1 *without* a 15-mph wind chill (I wonder if I can even hope for school to be closed?), but we should have the low teens for highs after that.
I'm sorry, but when 14 looks warm, that's just downright wrong.
Why do we live here again?

Anyway, I'm gonna Super Bowl Shuffle on outta here....let's hope as of tomorrow night, we can officially CROWN THEIR ASS!!
(Thank you, thank you, Denny Green....)
