Happy Day To You!

Well several big days have come (and gone) since I last posted, so I would like to say happy day for Groundhog Day, Super Bowl, and Super Tuesday! I realize that considering these days "big days" is strictly matter of opinion but why not celebrate anyways, right!

I found it interesting that on Sat. when I was searching online for the Groundhog results it took me FOREVER. Ok maybe forever is a bit of an exaggeration, but it took too long in my opinion. I feel like this day no longer holds the lure that it once did. Or maybe it never did and I just thought so because I was younger or maybe I am just too lazy to get up that early to hear the outcome. In any case once I finally found out that the Groundhog did indeed see his/her(?) shadow I was disappointed because I am always ready for warmer weather.

Super Bowl Sun. turned out to be interesting though. I attended a Super Bowl Party that afternoon to take in the game (Ok really to take in the commercials). I did watch some of the game, mainly the end when NY took over. If I had to pick a team I say I was rooting for NY simply because of the underdog status. Not a big football fanatic, which I have been told is sinful being from the state of TX. I took a great little Black Bean Salad/Dip that is worth mentioning. I found the recipe on the Food Network website, which I always enjoy, and it turned out to be a hit. I doubled the recipe because I thought I would need to and it made ALOT. I have been snacking on the leftovers for a couple days now. It went really well in my Taco salad that I made with ground turkey, rice, and butter lettuce. Check it out; I am giving my thumbs up for this one! I also enjoyed the halftime performance with Tom Petty. The commercials however, didn't impress.

Finally, today is Super Tues. so, GO CANDIDATES! I am trying to cast a more informed vote this year by trying to get to know all the candidates and their views. I am by far not a political advocate so I shall not get into my very limited and poorly informed opinion, but I will say I really am feeling the importance of this year. I have to embarrassingly admit that in previous elections I have voted purely on the "vibe" I got from watching the candidates. I am on a mission though, to become more educated this year.

I now bid you Happy Day, whatever it may be! :)
