Yea, Mon

Ashley and I just got back from a very wonderful 5 days in Jamaica. We stayed at Sandals in Montego Bay, or as the locals say Mo Bay. We had an absolute best time with my parents and some of our best friends John and Elizabeth. I have tons of pictures to share so be patient.

Here we are on the bus from the airport to our resort.

This is how my dad spent most of his vacation. We had to wake him up and make him move because he was in the way of a wedding. He gets pretty sleepy on the beach.

Ashley, me and my parents took an excursion to go zip lining through the rain forest. Ashley and I had never done this, but it was by far the most fun and coolest thing I have ever done! EVER! There were 9 zip lines and one was over 1000 feet long. We were told we would get up to 35-40 mph and I believe it!

This is me and Superman. He was one our guides. He never told us him real name and I didn't really mind because when you are over 250 ft. in the air, don't you want Superman as your guide? The guides were part of the reason the trip was so enjoyable. I really wanted to bring them home with me.
This is one of my favorite group pictures.

Heaven!!!

I do have a ton more pictures...100 to be exact...if you want to see them all, let me know. We had a blast and are already planning our trip next year. I will be in school, so on my spring break next year we are going to visit a different Sandals. We are thinking the Bahamas or Antigua and saving St. Lucia for the trip I plan on taking after I graduate.

We had an absolute blast! No one really wanted to come home, in fact Ashley even checked into staying one more night, but the resort was booked solid. I will say, however, that my stomach is definitely ready to eat normally and not so much at one time. When you eat breakfast at 9:30 or 10 and then lunch at noon and then snack on nachos about 3 and then dinner at 6 and drinks the entire time. The stomach does a little stretching. That and we got home on Thursday and my food vacation lasted until today. Tomorrow, Monday, back to basics.

Super Bowl Sadness

It is a known fact that most women only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and pre-game and half time performances. I say "most" because there are some women out there that are true die hard pro football fans. I do love football, but mostly college. Therefore, I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and performances......oh and because it gives me a reason to eat fun finger foods on a Sunday night for supper.



I am not normally a huge Jennifer Hudson fan. I do think she has a beautiful voice and she has been through some serious trauma and I feel for her. I just never really listened to her music or watched her on American Idol. BUT, last night she totally smoked The National Anthem and looked really gorgeous doing it. I was completely blown away and did have a few tears. I won't lie.....I'm sappy. Her performance was pretty much all I talked about last night.

Well, I read the news this morning........she was totally lip-syncing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This hurts! Normally you can tell when people are lip-syncing, but I could not and am in complete shock, betrayed even.

My next disappointment came with the commercials. I think there are maybe two commercials that really got a good laugh out of me. I just thought that most of them were just ridiculous. For 30 seconds to cost 3 million dollars or some absurd figure I heard, they really should get some better writers. Let the writers of The Office do the commercials. Now that would be worth the money and worth watching.

Lastly, the Boss had a good performance, but nothing to really get excited about unless you are a huge Springsteen fan. I would rather go for some choreographed dance moves, but that's just me!

Oh well........there's always next year.

It was a great game and I am very glad the Steelers won!
