Saving the Super Bowl

I'll admit I am girly-girl; yet, I politely let the duck and dog picture hang over my master bedroom for three years without saying one word.  (There was no need to rehang the picture after we moved to the Retirement Community.) I've also been robbed of picking fun-frilly comforters out because every pattern besides stripes and plaid is considered feminine. Enough is enough! I'm laying down the law and saving the Super Bowl. Just because the Super Bowl might be consider "man's domain," doesn't mean that it can't have a few feminine touches. It's time to glam up Super Bowl parties, and there are a few simple steps we, Sporing Event Superheros, must take!

Step 1: Pick your team and dress accordingly. 

Ditch the over-sized jersey. I am skipping the jersey/sports T-shirt because I have always dressed for women, not men. (I've never met a man who complimented me on my Rag and Bone dress and then asked me out. However, I have made plenty of girlfriends over S&D jewels, handbags, shoes, dresses ... If it's on my body and you compliment me, we are instant BFFs.)

I am still undecided on which team I am rooting for. I am thrilled San Francisco is in the Super Bowl again, and not because my crush from fourth grade wore a Steve Young starter jacket every day. The 49ers were all about the gold! And if you ask me, if they win then I should all get a new piece of gold jewelry ... it's only fair. Yet, I am still torn because purple is my favorite color! Decisions! I guess I will just have to wait until Sunday to see what color jeans I put on! Lucky for me I have red and purple jeans.

Step 2: Protect your friends from obesity.  I'm not gaining extras lbs because "the big game" is on! I have found healthy junk food thanks to www.skinnytaste.com! My good friend (I've never met her, but she plans my weekly meals, so I consider her to be a good friend.) has introduced me to some skinny Super Bowl snacks!

Step 3: Fake chic creativity. 
 Pinterest Party! I might not always be a pinner, but I am a great searcher. (I've asked ... no one looks at my boards). When I need to spice up anything and everything in my life I hop on over to www.pintrest.com and pretend that I am creative. Works like a charm!
