Today: Are you ready to do something besides watch footbaaaaaall?

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I stayed up past my bedtime watching A Football Life last night.  More accurately, I sat around doing nothing for three hours, I didn’t get anything done, I watched A Football Life, and then stayed up past my bedtime doing things I was supposed to have done earlier like doing laundry, putting away groceries,reading fashion magazines, doing more laundry, and painting my nails. Because people keep staring at my fingers.  Well, one finger, specifically.

Bill Belichick may have five rings (and a boat named after that fact, naturally), but I’d take my one ring over his five any day.  I won the Super Bowl of love, baby.  It boggles the mind that someone would want to be in the same room with me for more than two minutes, let alone want to marry me.  Especially when I say things like Super Bowl of love, baby.  Anyway, while my fiance, Coach Belichick and nearly everyone else in my Universe spends the weekend eating, sleeping and breathing football, I’ve got a few other things On Tap.

• Fighter Conditioning class
• 14 mile run
• My uncle’s band’s concert (I am totally related to a rock star!)
• 12th Annual South Boston Street Festival
• Whole Foods Market 5k to support City Sprouts and The Food Project  (Registration is still available at the Whole Foods Market Fresh Pond store in Cambridge on Friday 9/16 from 4 PM – 8 PM and Saturday 9/17 from 1 PM – 5 PM, and onsite on race day beginning at 7:30 AM)
• Baking and eating brownies
• Packing summer stuff (including my truly amazing pretzel float) for storage
• Putting together a gigantic book donation for the Prison Book Program
• City Wine Tours event
• Meal planning for the week (i.e. something other than seven nights of brownies)
• Orchestrating an elaborate prank whereby I claim our cable has gone out 3 minutes before kick-off

It’ll be a miracle if I am not crip-walkin’ (as in, mobility-impaired not gang-involved) like that’s what’s up by the time Sunday evening rolls around.  Worse case scenario, I could always save my “honey, the cable’s out” prank for Monday Night Football.

Also On Tap for Today:

• Congratulations to Chelsee and Susie, Tina and Ali for their Boston’s Most Valuable Blogger awards!
• Treated myself to 3 hours of green house-cleaning 🙂
• Great tips for saving money at organic markets
