Superbowl Party, Elgin, IL
On Friday Greg was going around trying to get the squares filled in on the office Superbowl Football Pool. I didn’t want to participate, I don’t really gamble. I told Greg that I didn’t even have $5 in my wallet, which I didn’t. He was persistant and said he’d spot me $5. So I wrote my name in a square.
Same thing with Mhirra. She didn’t really want to get in on it and only had like $2. Greg said he’d spot her a couple bucks if she played. She quickly scribbled her name in a square as she picked up her phone to answer a call. Mhirra sits in the cube on the other side of Greg’s wall. I sit one cube away.
Guess who won $100 after the 1st quarter? Mhirra. Guess who won $100 after the 3rd quarter? Me. Guess who didn’t win anything? Well.. I don’t want to rub it in!
Most people at the party I went to were cheering for the Eagles.. but more than anything they were cheering for their numbers on various pools. I sure was. I wanted the Eagles to win, but when it came down to it I didn’t really care and I wanted ME to win!
yo how about some details on that TV!? that thing looks niiiice!
yeh. it was the biggest tv i’ve ever seen. flat screen, high def, sony. external speaker in the front and back of the room. that’s all i know.
That’s pretty funny about cheering for the numbers. I was doing the same thing. I had 7/2 Patriots/Eagles. Everytime Patriots were deep in their own territory, I was hoping the Eagles would get a safety on them. It was either that or a missed extra point that leads to a failed 2 pt conversion. No such luck though. My boss won and he brought Dunkin Donuts today, so that was cool!
Ha! Cheering for the numbers. I would have won $50 if the Eagles would have scored another TD at the end.
I did win both of my Fantasy Football Leagues this year, though, for a total of $400.
I love this website. Reading it is better than picking up a morning paper.
Hey Rachelle! Whoa… Look what I found while typing in my name into Google. Thats what happens when you’re bored on vacation. Yah lets do a repeat next year and hope we win some $. Nice site btw and loving the pics. =) See yah at work!
nice. you should be computer-free on your vacation!
