Hi there and thanks for checking out my blog today. Would you be jealous if one of your friends got an out-of-nowhere invitation to the Super Bowl? Well, one of mine did and yes, I'm pretty jealous. There's something about Texas in February that is really appealing to me!=

I guess there's a little bit of a silver lining. At least I'll be able to enjoy all the creative Super Bowl ads during the game! Every year there's at least one ad that captures my attention...and usually it's a controversial ad. Check out this list of the 10 Most Controversial Super Bowl Ads of All Time. Some were aired, some were banned but all tried to conquer the $3 million airspace.

For those of you football-obsessed folks out there, let me remind you there's more to life than the Packers. As a matter of fact President Obama is giving his State of the Union Address tonight. In honor of this momentous occasion, may I present you with the official rules of the State Of The Union Address Drinking Game. The general rules are no different from any other drinking game. A drink is either a shot or a good gulp of beer. Different events call for different numbers of drinks and all you do is watch the speech and play along. If all goes well, you'll be unconscious by the time they show the other party's response! Good luck and make sure you have a designated driver before you venture out!

Did you hear about this? A salesman at a Chevy Dealership in suburban Chicago was fired Monday for refusing to take off his Green Bay Packers tie! Apparently, John Stone wore the tie to work at Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn and his General Manager asked him to remove the tie five times, saying it might aggravate Bears fans and make it more difficult to sell cars. When Stone refused, he was fired. Yikes. What would you do? I'm sorry, but jobs aren't that easy to come by these days...I would have taken it off. But then again-this guy will probably be getting his own reality show any day now!

A new study has found that using your local ATM is like sticking your hand in a public toilet. I know right!? Researchers from BioCote, an antibacterial product coating company, swabbed keypads on ATMs and the seats of nearby public restrooms. They found both contained bacteria that caused diarrhea and other illnesses-and the ATMs carried more bacteria than the toilets. Nasty. Here are some other spots that are dirtier than you'd expect: The 7 Germiest Things You'll Touch Today. Ewww. No more self-checkout at the grocery store for me!
