If having houseguests wasn't enough, we decided to have a Super Bowl party. About 10 folks showed up and it was the perfect sized crowd with the perfect mix of people. I really need to apologize to my Dad, though. He was the only guy rooting for Pats (sorry Vegas Princess). The rest of us were rooting for Giants. Well, not so much rooting FOR New York as much as rooting against New England. With each sack, I kept coming up with a new insult for Tom Brady. So, sorry Dad.
Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. I didn't make it to church to get ashes, but we are giving up soda and had some yummy tuna for lunch and salmon for dinner.
Thursday night, I had the steal of the week. I got a pair of Levi's (size 34 mind you) for $4! That was so awesome. We thought the price tag was a mistake, but it certainly wasn't.
Friday night we had Casey's birthday party. We love spending time over there and we played Casey's favorite game Cashflow. It's a little bit involved and takes a little getting used to, but it is a fun game.
Saturday I spent most of the day in Pahrump at the quarterly meeting of the Nevada State Democratic Party Central Committee. My name was being placed in nomination to become a member from Clark County. It was an interesting meeting - a lot of post-caucus wrap up and some cheerleading. The mood was definitely lifted by an article in that morning's "No New Taxes/Less Government Spending No Matter What the Situation" Newsletter that showed continued momentum going into the Caucuses and coming through January without the new registrants on Caucus day. There were a host of initiatives to help ensure the momentum keeps going. Oh, and my nomination was approved so I am now a full voting member of the State Democratic Party's Central Committee. I'm already a member of the Clark County Central Committee, so I'm excited about being more and more involved.
Saturday night, we went over to Lora's house for dinner and spent time with her husband and her little Madison. Karl and I watch the Bud Shootout while Keds and Lora spent some girl time together.
Today is a whole lot of nothing. It's the first Sunday in a long time that we don't have to be somewhere, so we watched a little Food Network, ate breakfast, enjoyed some coffee. We might go do some cardio or just take the dogs for a walk later to help them burn some of their energy since they spent most of yesterday alone.
How was your week? Any exciting plans for Valentine's Day (or Friendship Day, depending on your PC perspective)?

Sounds like you have been having lots of fun, even if some of it was at my teams expense. :)
I get to spend Valentine's Day have an ultrasound. How's that for making me love that dreadful holiday even more!
Isn't it nice to have your house back? From what I hear the dogs are at least enjoying it.
Yeah, football season is over :) sorry I just had to type that.
Why was the meeting in Pahrump?
It was really fun to hang out and meet George, Janell, & Madison. Such fun people to hang out with. I understand why you guys get along. =) The game was pretty fun (though don't tell I think we would have had more fun with you guys.)
Glad to here about the Democrat stuff. I know that is something you are really interested in. =)
Princess - Wow. That blows. Ultrasounds are never ever fun.
Teri - It's great to have our house back! The State Party rotates the meeting around the state. I guess the one in the fall was in Vegas, this one in Pahrump and the spring meeting is in Reno. That's all.
Jennifer - We told you our house would have been more fun!
