Gisele and Controversy

Well, Superbowl Sunday is done and now we have the controversy of Gisele Bunden on tv yelling back at a fan who had to speak his mind.  He claimed that Eli Manning owned her husband.  What he meant was that Tom Brady will never be able to beat him.

And Gisele had to swear back at him and speak her anger.  She should have kept her mouth shut.  Now, she's got Tom's team angry with her for speaking her mind.  And now it seems like she has gone viral, which is usually the case. 

What she needs to do is own up to what happened and get on with it, so they will stop talking.  And it is just a game and the players should get past their loss.  Someone has to lose and it ended up being the Pats.  They played a sloppy game.  It happens.  Although with this game, it comes with mucho bucks, so I can see why perhaps they are upset.  But, after all, life is to short to stay upset about it.

They will get more chances.  They are a good team.  Even the best teams have to lose sometime.  And there are probably just some teams that they can't beat.

But besides this, I was watching the clip on Gisele this morning.  I didn't realize that a few years ago, she tried to get it so all women had to breastfeed for the first six months.  I thought that that was wrong.

Women should have a right to choose if they want to breastfeed or bottle feed.  The choice shouldn't be taken away from them.  It's their freedom to feed their babies the way they want to.  I bottle fed all my children and I had a close bond with them all the same.  I had nurses telling me I will be able to bond with my baby better if I breastfeed and I was against that belief.

Not every mother wants to strap on those breast pumps to their boobs.  I didn't want to do it, and I didn't want to spend any money on those contraptions and all the other stuff that comes with it.  I was perfectly fine to buy the formula and mix it and put it in a cute baby bottle.

We should have the right to choose.  And not all mothers take to breast feeding.  I have heard that some mothers didn't like that it hurt sometimes.  And some babies don't latch on very well.

I am sure glad that Gisele didn't get that passed.  I am sure it has it's perks and maybe is beneficial to your health, but it should also be a choice.  Not every mother wants to whip out her boobs in public to feed her child.  We don't all want to have the pain of the breast feeding bras and shirts and attaching a cover up.  It wasn't for me and I'm sure that there are many other moms that would agree.

Don't take away the choice.

Super Bowl Sunday

Well, here we are watching the Super Bowl.  Patriots and the Giants.  I'm for the Patriots and my boyfriend is for the Giants.  My brother and my dad are for the Patriots and so are my kids.  I guess that's a new englander for you to route for the Patriots. 

Well, I am also sitting here typing and checking Ebay and other stuff.  And after I am done this post, I have to get my knitting and repair a row I started.  I read the instructions wrong and have to go back and fix it.  The pattern is on my  Yours Truly Crafty Girl Blog.  http://yourstrulycraftygirl.blogspot.com/   The pattern I am attempting is a Fit - N -  Flare Trumpet Skirt for me.  I attempted this in wool many years ago, washed it and it shrunk.  Tossed it as it didn't fit.

This time am knitting with acryllic which has a little bit of wool.  Shouldn't shrink like the other.

That is one project.  Then I've got the yo yo blanket added.  Aprons, shirts for me, American Girl Doll outfits for the girls webkinz.  Sewn up handmade pincushions, etc..........

I cut up two of my dresses today for the yo yo blanket.  They didn't fit me.  One I tried on and I couldn't get it off, so I ended up cutting my way out of it.  And as my nine year old and I were looking at it this morning, I mentioned some of it could be an apron and she suggested a skirt.  One piece could almost be turned into a skirt for her.  And the other pieces will be aprons.  They already have a ruffle at the bottom and would just need to be finished up with ties and a pocket with some rick rack on it.  Or lace.

And then I had fun burning the edges of my poetry last night for fun and an old aged effect.  Mollyanne colored in my hearts this morning and scribbled on it.  Added touch.

Julia got to have some of the fabric from one of my dresses for her webkinz and then she wanted a strap so I cut one for her.  She is into cutting up fabric.  She's got a bunch of my yo yo's scattered in a spot in the living room.  It's her Webkinz pad.  I'm thinking if I cut up some of the doll clothing patterns, she should be able to sew the little dresses up herself.  It would be good practice.

Just before the super bowl started.  I whipped up fresh mushrooms in beef gravy and then poured them into a microwave bowl and melted mozzarella cheese.  I've been eating that tonight and will be eating a glob of cheese tomorrow.

We've got the chips and all the other yummy snacks.

Madonna put on a good show.  And she didn't have on a thong, like the radio was talking about and hoping not to see that.  It was tastefully done  and really good.  Much better than Steven Tyler.  Couldn't believe his terrible National Anthem song.  Not good.  And they did show him in the audience afterwards tonight.

Lots of car commercials.  So far our favorite commercials are the little boy who ended up peeing in the pool because all the other doors were closed.

And the other one was the Seinfeld one with the zip line and then Jay Leno shows up.  That was funny.

Right now New England is ahead.

Years ago, my ex and I used to bounce between Super Bowl Sundays at either his parents house or his aunts different years.  Everyone would bring a dish.  And all of us women would be in the kitchen while the men were in the living room.  My mother n law would make a chocolate pudding cake that was to die for.  And my girls would fill up on whipped cream.  And so would Jake.  Or they would have tons of ice cream.

One of my ex's aunts used to bring her knitting sometimes and she would knit while she talked.  And I think she was teaching one of the younger girls how to knit.

There was always lots of snacks.

Today when I searched yahoo trends, you can bet that nacho cheese dips were right up at the top.  Everyone has probably been searching for great dip recipes to have tonight.  And everyone is going to be rolling themselves home.

And then I think the Voice and Smash is one after the super bowl.
