Oh Baby!!

Wow, how time flies!! The baby was born 09/14/05. Brenden Madison Washington is a beautiful boy. I thought that his mama was weird. It turns out that she is Schizophrenic!! No kidding. So, Brenden came to live in our house beginning with his 2nd day of life. He is my joy. The daddy, is about ready to relinquish his rights and some time soon, he will probably will be our baby. It's pretty weird, but wonderful. He had colic for 7 weeks, and I stayed home with him. I had never experienced this, but it was tough and great all at once. I didn't want to go back to work. Now, I feel conflicted about work. Stay home with "my baby" or work for a better income and standard of living. As an aside, apparently, the new way to do your eyelashes is to be a spyder. Lots of hooker lashes. What am I missing?? Brenden is my little sweetheart.

Today is the Superbowl!! Seattle has finally made it to the Superbowl, but couldn't beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. I remember a game in 1966.

It was after my mom's birthday, but before Valentines's day in 1966. Our faithful TV, the black and white, Zenith had died. No amount of "whacking it" would revive it. Something big was happening, with this death. Mom and Dad were talking about money and there was some urgency. Finally, Dad went to Sears and brought home our first COLOR T.V. The next day, a football game played that Dad was very interested in seeing. It was the game between the football conferences, and this time, for the first time it was called, "The Superbowl". The very first one, I remember seeing it, and watching Dad see a football game in color. I don't remember who played, who won, but I remember the very first one. I saw it, and I saw it in color. Most importantly, my dad saw it in color, for the first time.

Today was Superbowl 40. I doubted that the hawks could pull it out, as the Steelers have a history with the Superbowl. This was the first for the Seahawks, but not the last. I will be cooking up a storm for the Superbowl where the Seahawks win! Today's menu included, Super deluxe Nachos; veggie tray, drinks, and for dessert, Super Duper Chocolate Fudge Triffle!! Yummy!! The Rolling Stones played at half time, which is appropriate to me.

40 years of Superbowl memories. For the last few years, I have hosted a Superbowl party, and every year I call my dad to fool him. Calls asking for help with plumbing or car help just as the first kickoff!!! He forgets that I do this generally, but this year he almost remembered. He said "Wahhaaatt?!!! I told him that I need car help, but that I couldn't reach Rich as he must have the TV volume up very high!! He got it then, and we had a laugh. Dad is 82 years old, and I hope that I have many more years to fool him on Superbowl Sunday!!!!

See ya later, Marlajean
