A "DUH" Moment

I have a funny story to share with you.  A few years ago, we were watching the Super Bowl at my in-laws.  I was excited to watch the Super Bowl, even though I'm not very football savvy.  In all honesty, I was more interested in the halftime show and the new commercials... oh and getting my grub+drink-on, of course.  I'm not sure what quarter it was or what down, but I noticed that they "marked" the field with a bright yellow line to indicate the down.  Then, I saw that the bright yellow line MOVED!  I was in awe at how fast "they" were able to move the line.  I asked my sister-in-law how they did it so quickly.  She turned to me with a "WTF, are you kidding me?" look and asked if I was serious.  Clearly, I was.  Apparently, that bright yellow line wasn't really being marked on the field.  I'm sure a part of me knew that, and perhaps I was experiencing a "DUH" moment, but boy, did I feel like an idiot. Ha!  To this day, I still laugh about it. :)

Are you watching the Super Bowl today?  If so, who are you rooting for?

Gingham girl

Obsessed with gingham & plaid, I tell ya!

I wore this shirt to work with a pair of jeans and flats, but decided to dress it up a bit with a skirt and heels for a dinner and movie date with the Pirate.  We ate at one of our fave little restaurants, Penne Pasta.  While at dinner we both decided to keep our cellphones out of reach, so that we could really enjoy our time together; talk to each other, rather than tweeting, instagraming, or FB-ing our little date.  Haha.  With technology and social networking literally at our fingertips these days, we can easily get wrapped up in cyber world, when the real world is passing us by.  The Pirate and I always have a great time together, but last night was extra fun.  As corny as it sounds, date nights are important in relationships.  It's a great opportunity to reconnect with your partner. :)

These orange platforms are another great pair that MyHotShoes sent me.  I don't have any orange shoes, so I thought this pair would be a great addition to my shoe collection.  I swear it feels like you're walking on a cloud in these babies.  They are super lightweight.  The platform makes it's a breeze to walk in, too.  Don't forget, my readers get 20% off (promo code: SHARON2) any pair of shoe or shoes you want from MyHotShoes.  There are tons of great summer sandals to choose from!
