How We Spent Our Sunday (Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!)

As a San Diegan and avid Charger fan, I must, in a very sportman-like way, congratulate you on a game well played...

Okay, who am I kidding, I knew we were going to lose. But we had you going that first quarter, huh?

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJenni

Wow, I'm jealous. Great Pics.
Here we go!!!!!

Soo jealous!

and woww. super high! i probably would have puked!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRebecka

BRRRR!!! Looks like the toddler had a great time, tho! I watched my Chargers lose from the comfort of my living room, thankyouverymuch.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCrista

That is the BEST way to spend a Sunday. And Alexis actually has a smile on her face. She so gets it, eh?

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLaskiGal

I think in the next couple of weeks you and I are going to be having some interesting side bets going, aren't we? :)

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterThe Sports Mama

Nice!
We got to a Pens game last year while we were visiting. We'll miss football season again though this year.
sigh

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLilacspecs

Great pics! I took like two. heh.

And we were just a few sections to your left! :)

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

All that for dropping the kids off at the pool. Way cool! What's Dad going to do for an encore. :)

I am a bit jealous, but apparently my team just stole a Patriot, so next year is our year! Whatever.

Alexis looks like she had a great time. Great pics!

I thought about you a few times during the game last night - congratulations!! Of course, I would rather it have been the Colts beating you last night than the Chargers losing to you, but oh well, there's always next year!!

We definitely hope you beat the Ravens!!!

The last time my husband and I went to a game during the regular season it was the worst game they played...and they ended up winning the Super Bowl. We went to a game again this year...and it was maybe the worst game they played (vs. Indy). Here's hoping our track record holds true! Go Stillers!

looks like fun ... but cold.

i watched the game from the comfort of my bedroom. vastly preferable, except for the part about alexis looking like she's loving it.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterthe planet of janet

How do you keep getting to the Penguin and Steelers games?

I've never been to either. I've never been to the new stadiums (not even the Pirates).

I just want Alexis to know how lucky she is to have gone to all these games. I cannot believe I'm so jealous of her. I'm sure that was such a blast.

GO STEELERS!!!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMia

I'm glad that you had a great time and didn't freeze fast to the bleachers. But in all honesty, I'd much rather watch from the comfort of my couch.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKaren

I am totally in agreement with VerWaynia...totally should have been the Colts beating your Steelers but since they destroyed the Chargers for us I guess it is ok. Good luck against the Ravens!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSgtSudsWife

Awesome pics, girl. We were so stoked last night. I love Alexis' hat! Is it a Hudson? Whatever it is, she and BigBrother should get together and take pictures in funky hats.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterFireMom

Thought about you while watching - it looked really, really cold...but what an awesome game (mostly because we won and the Steelers played great not because it was suspenseful).

We Tivo'd and went shopping and to lunch. Came home and decided to get the kids to bed and then watch it in peace. We went to great lengths to avoid hearing results. Just as we sat down to watch, my mom texted us both to say congrats on the win. WTF? I didn't know my mom knew how to text let alone that she watched football. Sigh...

And when we went to games, I was so spoiled. We had friends with season tickets - amazing seats on the 40 yard line about 8 rows off the field. I had no idea what NFL tickets cost until the Steelers played here in Nashville and I saw it would cost us about $800 for both of us to go to the game. I should have given them some kick ass Christmas gifts as thank yous all of those years!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle Smiles

@Michelle--HOLY CRAP! We had the cheap tickets and didn't pay ANYWHERE NEAR that much. Not. even. close. Way less than half. TicketMaster face value bleacher seats aren't that bad.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBurgh Baby

@Firemom--Heh. The hat is KMart clearance. $5, baby, and it came with matching mittens. Which Alexis won't wear, of course.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBurgh Baby

OMG I totally thought of you as my husband was watching that game and got Boog to say "go steelers!" (The Hubs grew up a steelers fan) I had no idea you were one of the crazies in the stand freezing your butts off. Although I'm not at all shocked at that realization. :P

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterImpostorMom

I hope you had 57 kinds of fun, because those were some seriously HUGE flakes coming down.

I'm glad your team won. Mine certainly did not, though they had chances.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRachel

That's how I spent Sunday too. Only from the comfort of my couch snuggled up in a blanket. Awesome game!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

I'm so jealous! We are huge Steelers fan! Wish we could have been there!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

JEALOUS!! What a great game. It's times like these when I miss the Burgh the most. *sigh*

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMandy

Oh. My. GAH!!!

You are AT the game????

Sigh. I'm mucho jealous-o.

I missed the first quarter since we were out but caught the rest. Loved it.

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSouthern Fried Girl

My husband is a Giants fan. Nuff said :)

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJulie

Wow! Y'all were there - that is SO cool! What a great game. Love the pictures!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterElaine A.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*so jealous*

It looks soooo cold!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterhoneywine

As cool as it must have been to be there, I'm a wimpy girl - too cold for me - but glad you got to see them win! GO STEELERS!!!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJen

And the Steelers were the only team with home-field advantage to win! :) Yeah, you!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterwendy

Brrrrr! I'm a big wimp so it is way too cold for me! Looks like fun though!

January 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHeatherY

JEALOUS! SO JEALOUS!

January 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPam

Did I mention how COLD it looks there. Miserable.

What's that, you ask? Oh, me? Nothing, I'm just wearing my FLIP FLOPS and tank tops.

(Frickin' Chargers)

January 13, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjust jamie

I'll bet that game was a ton of fun to see, although I hear it was COLD!

Congrats on their win!

January 14, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercaramama

I'm jealous! How did Alexis do in the cold? Here's hoping for 2 more victories!
