Planning a Super Bowl Soire? Stop here first.

Sadly, I will not be attending the Super Bowl, since the 49-ers didn’t make it to the Big Dance, and we were only able to secure tickets through Kevin’s contacts in San Fran…but Happily, I get to attend the Best. Superbowl. Party. Ever. Seriously… Plus, it’s a 2-day event for me, as I go and help my friend, Donna, the day prior…and her husband Dave usually rewards my “hard work” with many, many glasses of a lovely Chard…I mean, best weekend ever!

Snazzy Party Ideas

Warm beer can be chilled in minutes by placing it in salted ice.

Use your empty drink boxes to label your coolers.

If you don’t want people leaving their half-drunk drinks around, these cups are an easy way to help your guests keep track. In Team colors, of course!

Pour the perfect drink using this handy Solo cup guide.

Tie a bottle opener to the drink tub or cooler.

Run out of ice? Freeze individual water bottles and use them as ice packs in your cooler.

Line your garbage cans with multiple bags so you don’t have to waste time re-bagging.

Buy your alcohol from Costco, even if you don’t have a membership.

You do not need to be a card-carrying member of Costco, to take advantage of alcohol purchasing, which can mean a 25% savings from liquor or grocery stores.

Cocoa-Krispies, made like rice krispie treats. Disclaimer…I made these last year, and they didn’t turn out nearly this cute. You really need make sure the piping is super thin.

Be Handsome. Be Attractive. Don’t Be Unattractive…fun quote from the Tom Brady SNL skit. True words by the way…and since I’ve had too many video links in this blog, just google, General Electric sexual harassment and you on YouTube. 🙂

Fabulous week, and had best lunch ever, with the best boss ever…and no, not Kevin (marrying him was easier than continuing to work for him)…Lunch with Dave W.! Chardonnay and oysters, and a seafood salad. I mean, what is not to love? Love that man!!

Go Bronco’s…I’m a total Peyton Manning Fan. He’s a total class act. Check out his stint on SNL. So funny, and the one with the theme from Casino Royale, is LOL funny! You can FF to 2.35. Peyton Manning can really dance! Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass…This should be the song of the week. And again…Go Bronco’s and Go Peyton Manning!
