Everybodys a critic

So here's a riddle, how many times does a strange old man have to tell you your "pants are way too tight" for you to go on a diet? I'm gonna go with just one time. Because that's all it took for me. The other day a weird old man, like real old- 80's probably, told me I was very pretty, BUT my pants are way too tight. I politely told him that it had been a rough winter. He responded, well I can see everything. So I said, please stop looking. What exactly can one see through jeans I wonder? It's not like I had a camel toe for God's sake. Sorry, too visual, but seriously. So he could see my ass cheeks, that's not really possible? Regardless, the message was plain and clear, my jeans are too tight if even strangers are noticing. This odd man also asked " I wonder how many pregnancies those jeans have led to." None in these, I told him. It was one of the stranger conversations I've had. So I think I'm going to go buy an anorexic's memoir, those books always have the best diet advice. I was thinking about Portia DeRossi's maybe, she was really skinny for a while. I wish the Olsen twins would come out with a diet book already, I know they have to have a ton of tricks up their hobo sleeve.

Since I'm on a diet, Chris and I kept it healthy for super bowl snacks, we only had Mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers. And a few cupcakes, like I said, we tried to keep it light. I don't really care about the game, but I thought the commercials were okay. I expected better. My two favorite things in a commerical are talking babies and animals dressed as humans. So I always enjoy E Trade, but where were the monkeys dressed as humans? Career Builder had the monkeys driving a car, but why weren't they in suits? That would have made it ten times better. And was that a jab at Nebraska the fact that the license plates of the monkeys car was a NE plate? Half time entertainment was pretty good, although I'm not a huge Fergie fan. But since when did everyone turn into critics? Man, if I had a dollar for every negative thing said about X-Tina and the Black Eyed Peas I would probably have about thirteen dollars, and that was just off of my mini feed. Cool your jets FB peeps. I just love to picture people creating their statuses in response to something like this. Like I see them sitting on their couch and thinking, hmmm this is okay, but I bet everyone on Facebook will think it sucks so I'm gonna say it sucks, but I can't just say it sucks, I have to come up with something real clever and funny... "Let's NOT get is started in here, Black Eyed Peas," or "Thanks for reminding why I hate Christina Aguliera," ext and so fourth. So Christina forgot the words to the National Anthem, bfd. We've all done it, it's a hard song. What will all the "says" and the "sees" and the "lights", I would get it confused too. My favorite part was definitely the Michael Douglas Amurica introduction. It almost made me tear up. I just love a patriotic bit presented by a man married to a Welsh woman who lives in England. Now that's the American spirit.

I told Chris our goal for next year should be to make some friends to watch the Super Bowl with. But then I looked over and noticed he was sound asleep and didn't hear me say this. So at least it will be my goal. But only if we're not in Peker, I mean for Kansas City or Omaha... And if we're in either of these places we will already have friends.
