Philadelphia Wins the Super Bowl! (And Other Things I Want to Quickly Address)

in , , , , , ,

We did it! We won the big one!

I wanted to go to the parade on 02/14, AKA LOVE DAAAAAY, but that didn’t happen. I did call out of work, but I was sick as a dog again. I watched the parade on TV, though, and the energy looked AMAZING! Next time.

We made a bunch of stuff for the SB—stickers, shirts for all the people we were spending the game with, and other accessories. Check it out:

I’ve been working on a bullet journal for the year, but I’m learning I definitely need to set it up in December and it would be so much more efficient to utilize my design skills, printer, and Cricut to make the journaling easier.

I designed more stickers with my ideas falling into the political climate of today. Seriously, things are terrifying…we have a man (and his accomplice) running this show without an ounce of intelligence going toward what actually makes sense…it’s turning our own nation against us. The fact that so many corporations are falling back on DEI is very telling.

More posts to come, but please—remember to always do the right thing.

Philadelphia is in the Championship!

in , , , , , ,

Ahhh… for football fans, pre-season is meh. The actual season is full of emotion and then post-season is where only the elite teams get to keep playing in a tapered bracket to determine who reigns supreme to earn the title of “World Champion,” which, as a football fan myself, is kind of a silly title seeing as right now the NFL only consists of 32 American football teams. There are currently no teams outside of the US.

Today is a BIG day for four cities, Philadelphia included. Today is the championship game, the one that determines which two teams get to play in the biggest game of the season—the Super Bowl!

Since I was a little girl, I’ve been an Eagles fan. Today we face the Washington Commanders (the Comedians as my husband calls them), and we are going balls-to-the wall with our excitement today.

I woke up early to work on a few things to bring to our friends’ house, where we’re going to eat good, drink, scream and cheer (and maybe cry) at the TV with them and their other friends with only one goal in mind: Make it BACK to the Super Bowl.

Since the Super Bowl started (1967), the Eagles (established in 1933) have only participated four times: 1981, losing to the Raiders; 2005, losing to the Patriots; 2017 winning against the Patriots (Sorry, not sorry, Tom Brady); and 2023, losing to the Chiefs (Okay, Mahomes is a good player, for real). While we’re not trying to jump the gun here, we’d really, REEEAALLLYY like another shot at this.

Anyway, I spent a lot of time educating myself on how to make stickers with my printer and Cricut working in partnership (Thank you, YouTube creators!). I need to make some custom adjustments to the pressure of the blade, but here’s what we’re working with today. I’m also working on a Saquon Barkley design for one of the host friends—I may post it later.

Philadelphia mayor, Cherelle Parker, misspelled “EAGLES” during a public chant while addressing the city, causing fans—myself included—to run with the misspelling. I chose to make stickers.
