I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded 
I am holding the irresistibly cute Miss A, who is as fidgety as Carrie Bradshaw in a room full of Manolo Blahniks, while wearing a v-neck pajama top that reveals just a bit of cleavage (remember, I’ve breastfed two babies and had a lumpectomy so the cleavage factor is fair to middlin’ as my daddy would say.). She plows both her hands down my shirt front and starts fishing around, as if to find the TV remote or a chocolate chip cookie.
“Miss A, what are you lookin’ for?” I ask, tickling her so that she’ll release me from her probing hands.
“BUTTER!”
Speaking of Carrie Bradshaw, have you seen the Sex in the City movie trailer? (Hat tip: Uncommon Blonde.) I can’t wait!
How’s that for a segue from one totally unrelated topic to another? Sarah Jessica Parker does not invoke images of butter.
And now to change the subject from my boobs and Sex in the City to something on everyone’s minds—football. What a game! I’m not a huge football fan, but last night’s ending was incredible. I also loved the commercials. My favorites were the Budweiser “Rocky” Clydesdale commercial, Bridgestone’s screaming squirrel, the Will Ferrell Bud Light spot, the Coca Cola Macy’s ad, the Planter’s peanut spot, and the Diet Pepsi Max commercial with Chris Kattan.
I had an appointment to get my teeth cleaned this morning and my new dental hygienist went to school with Eli Manning at Ole Miss. She also attended a Super Bowl party with our daycare owner. This is just a testament to the fact that everyone in the South knows everyone else, or at least went to school with one of the Manning brothers.
Maybe you’re still too close to the baby phase of life, but my favorites were the E-trade ones with the baby, especially the clown one. And while I didn’t go to school with any Mannings (at least not the football family ones), I was rooting hard for the Giants. What a game!

You know…I missed several commercials due to running back and checking on the girls. They watched DVDs in Miss C’s room on our portable DVD player. I’ll have to check those out!
So, did she have reason to find butter? that is so random. The things they will say.

The game was great, Eli is the Manning and Chris Kattan made me snort my Diet Coke – we are HUGE Giants fans in my house and this win, in particular, felt sooooo good – YAY Giants!
As for the talking sports heads – who didn’t give my Giants a snowball’s chance in hell – BLOW ME!

I don’t have butter in my cleavage, but some apparently has gotten stuck to my behind.

I used to see Peyton Manning every Tuesday and Thursday as I headed to class – didn’t know him personally but at his height and build he definitely stood out – plus everybody knew who he was anyway.

I’m SOOO EXCITED for the SATC movie too! I TOTALLY miss that show and frequently find myself watching the reruns or popping in a dvd of the show!
I’m glad you posted the link to commercials because I missed some of them!
That last part about the Manning’s made me giggle. hehe

That was a great game. We were at someone’s house & most of the other women weren’t big football fans, so it was killing me! Glad the Giants won though. Nothing like a good upset!

Butter, huh?
My husband tried that one on me just last night.
(It worked.)
Hee.

I saw the SATC trailer when I went to see 27 Dresses. The crowd of women in the theater collectively gasped when it came on.
I totally :heart: you for that last paragraph!
@Loralee: My hubby must have talked to your hubby because he tried that trick last night, too. (and it worked, too)
I loved the Diet Pepsi commercial! Cracked me up
Funny story! I thought it was cute

Butter? I’ve plenty of other things land in my cleavage, but not butter? Popcorn, check. Cinnamon, check.
We’re not Giants fans, just anti-fans of the Patriots, so we were also very happy with the game. I actually had someone google “Tom Brady sore loser” and find my blog. Yeah, I trash talk Brady on my mommy blog. So cool.

OMG, thanks for posting the S&the City trailer! I hadn’t seen it!

That’s too funny about the shirt fishing. Butter! ha! I once dated a guy that played football at with Eli AND wrote songs for Garth Brooks. He was a good catch – just not in my pond.

That’s cool, as long as you’re not all really related.

Amazing! That article was wonderful to ready, so interesting. I will tell my friends about your blog.
For this year’s Superbowl parties, I think we need to take a previous Superbowl commercial into consideration; Tide-to-go “Talking Stain” Ad. As everyone jumps around cheering on the teams, drinks and food are bound to be spilled all over! To keep our homes and our friends clean (and maintaining good impressions), might I suggest having Tide-to-go pens at the party?
On behalf of Tide, I’d like everyone to know that Tide is offering a coupon at Tidetogo.com (stock up and be the “Hero” at the party!)
Also, if you loved the “Talking Stain” commercial, you can vote for it to be named the top Superbowl commercial on CBS.com There will be a show revealing the top choice on Jan 31, 2009. Vote here: http://www.cbs.com/collections/superbowl/index.php?week=1 (Then at 8p.m. ET, watch the show and vote live to pick between the top 3!)
