Super Bowl Bound! #GoHawks

It feels GOOD to be a Seattlelite today and more than anything I wish I were back in Seattle roaming my streets and celebrating with the rest of the city. It was a good game. And I suffered through a bunch of anxiety just watching it. The rivalry spirit is strong and pretty much everywhere you go here in the Bay, but that’s to be expected. I am, after all, in the enemy’s territory. I did say today, however, that I didn’t feel like we deserved to be in the Super Bowl unless we could beat the 49’ers. They’re one of the best teams in the NFC and it was important to earn that win.

I wish I could be back to see the Seattle spirit. I’m so proud to be from this amazing city and I can’t wait to proudly rep my Russell Wilson jersey…when it gets to me!

We goin’ to the Super Bowl!!!!

Sunday Television

I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I will be spending most of my Sunday watching television today. I started this morning early by tuning into the 49’ers vs. Panther’s game. It’s important for me to know who will be playing the Seahawks next week, you know. Shortly after the game, the red carpet for the Golden Globes will start followed by the award show itself and then the premiere of Girls! We’ve got some variety today. Sometimes I think that this is what Sundays were made for.

I feel very lucky that I can access all of these different channels, as I know many people don’t have the same opportunity. I was one of them once. There was a time not so long ago where I’d have to go over to my friend’s house just so I could watch the latest episodes of The Only Way is Essex and Orange is the New Black. I’d always have a nice time with them but I couldn’t do this all the time. If anything, they were pushing me into having a look at a company like Humax Direct, (https://www.humaxdirect.co.uk/) just so that I could find a type of Freeview box that would give me access to all of these channels.

I was skeptical at first. But I took the plunge and now here I am. I can search through the numerous boxsets on Netflix at my own leisure, and I can be one of the millions of viewers who snuggle up on their sofas to watch sports games and the Golden Globes. It’s heaven! I can’t believe I waited this long to do it. So, that’s why I now spend all of my Sunday’s watching the television. And do you know what? I don’t even feel guilty about doing it.

So, readers. What will you be watching today?

Also, I’ve got a little fun Golden Globes drinking game for you right here provided by Refinery29. Enjoy!

Bree surprised me on Friday night by inviting me to the Seahawks vs 49’ers game in San Francisco! I was the most excited Katie especially since I had never been to a hawks game back in Seattle and this was the game to watch this weekend as both teams are pretty heavy rivals with each other. In just the three months that I’ve been living here in the Bay, I’ve had so many firsts and I’m glad that this was one of them! On top of just being at the game and being pumped for that, I had two friends from Seattle that were visiting and at the game as well. It’s always nice to see familiar faces in a new city and they were such sweet reminders of being home.

I didn’t get any smack talking from anyone personally, but when I was with the boys some really sketchy aggressive dude came up to us and was just like “Today is not your day” to which Brandon responded “Well, it was our day 11 out of 12 weeks tho! 49’er fans… your talk is weak. Since I didn’t have any Seahawks gear, I didn’t stand out very much except when I was 1 of 4 cheering in my section for the Seahawks. I think my parents worry about me sometimes because they have no idea how they possibly raised a daughter with a mouth on her hahah but I was in a sea of red so I zipped up!

Attending my first game was quite the experience, but it was cold. We lost. And it doesn’t always feel that great to be rooting for the opposing team when you’re on the home turf. Additionally, I couldn’t see anything so next time maybe I’ll just stay at home and watch in the comfort of my own living room. I’m so glad that I can say that I went though. It was incredible! I do, however, want to go to a Seahawks game when I’m home because I’ve heard those are much more fun.
