T Stands For Superbowl

Today you find me once again at my dining room table, getting ready for the Superbowl ads.  Many of you who know me, or have been around my blog for several years, know I normally host a Superbowl party at my place each Superbowl Sunday.  To be honest, I was tired (still am as I write this post Tuesday MONDAY afternoon) and not in the mood to host even my most dear friends.

I wasn't happy with the teams who were playing and I wasn't happy with how they both got to the Superest of bowls.  I wasn't feeling like playing host because I was still not over the events of the previous week.  I had NO idea how it would affect my sleep patterns, my internet visits, my grumpy attitude, and my overall health.

But that was Sunday, and I am marginally better.  I know several of you are suffering from genuine illnesses, so I am NOT going to complain.  Instead, I'm going to throw my own party which just happened to land on Superbowl Sunday.

The Superbowl is so iconic.  If you've ever seen the commercials, you know lots of name brands are touted.  However, Coca Cola is not one of them. Nor is my drink of choice V-8, although Budweiser and Pepsi come to mind as sponsors.

If I were a true Superbowl affectionado, I would be serving myself Doritos, instead of these wonderful buttery clubhouse crackers.  I don't often "cook," but for Sunday's fare, I mixed up two different avocado dips, one rather spicy, one bland.  The one in the back is spicy.  I also made my own version of seven layer dip, which included beans, cheese, green onions, tomatoes, and black olives.  Guess I'll have to call it five layer dip.

Next, I was off to open my V-8, which I poured in my green Coke glass.  The red inside the green glass was a bit garish, so I decided not to show it, for fear you would turn away in disgust.

After my Superbowl meal and after the game, it was time for some tea.  Although I'm not a fan of camomile tea, I decided it might help relax me.  Besides, it was a gift from Mia.  While I waited for the water to heat, I decided to show this adorable gift my friend RO sent me.  She told me it was supposed to be "Cat person," but they sent the wrong mug. 

Regardless, it's so cute and 

I know all you dog lovers will appreciate the design

as I turn the cup around.

I'm fairly sure the water was ready at that point, so I'll turn this tale (or tail) of my Superbowl Sunday over to you.  I'm convinced you will share something interesting that will put me in a good mood, too.

I'm sure by now you know the drill.  It's time to share your own drink related post.  It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.
