baby we were born to run...

so i did stay up last night and watch the superbowl... ok well up until halftime. the game wasn't starting here until 11 and after a day of traveling i wanted to sleeeeeep! and i reallly wanted to see bruce perform at halftime, i guessed 3 of the 4 songs he sang correctly. i thought he was going to do the rising instead of 10th avenue freeze out, but oh well, he was great and i was glad i stayed up to watch it.

and the game! for the second year in a row, i've gone to bed early and missed out. silly game ending at like 3am in ireland! and i also didn't see commericals, so must youtube them at work. i tried this morning, but i was unsuccessful. 

oh so yesterday i spent a good three hours in the dublin airport arrivals. it made me happy. amy and my flight got into dublin at around 12.30 and i was catching the 6pm flight to cork. i made the choice to fly from dublin to cork, because even with all my airport sitting around, it would have been the same time getting home if i took the bus, by the time i got one into dublin, then one to cork. so i had a lot of time in the airport and watching the arrivals made me happy. especially all the kids waiting for a parent, it was so cute to see their faces light up when their mom walked through the door. it was a good way to spend a few hours and made me smile lots. 

so february, apparently february 1st is the first day of spring here. i just laughed. i guess i don't think of spring until march 1st (even though the official day it isn't until later that month) and i consider summer to start june 1st, fall on september and winter on dec 1st.  it was snowing in cork today. dublin/midlands/north should be getting some while we were just forcasted for flurries, which it did for about 4 minutes, but we are getting ice, which means i might die on my walk into work. 

i'm writing up my posts on ireland and spain complete with pictures :) so hopefully i'll post the irish adentures tomorrow (we'll see how little work there is to do tomorrow at work) so happy groundhogs's day :)

and ps. my co-workers thought i was crazy when i was talking about groundhog's day... the random things that we love in america... don't even get me started on talking about football and the superbowl either.
