So there I was, eating the worlds biggest plate of 7 layer bean dip, drinking shitty American beer, yelling at the tv and trying my best to fill in for Adam as the resident 'dude' during the Superbowl. For a while there I think I was doing pretty damn well.
Until I saw this commercial.
As my eyes welled up with tears during the last shot I was exposed for the total and complete vagina that I really am.
Damn you Google.
I still love you though, you softy.

I love reading your posts! I totally fell in love with this commercial last night!

MORGAN -- It's always great to see someone come out of the wood works as an avid reader!
KELLY -- Ok, that site, HILARIOUS. I forwarded it to Adam to demonstrate how much more in control I am with the whole crying during commercials and movies. Thank you for helping me to prove my point!

OH THANK GOD. I thought I was the only one who cried at this commercial.

That was probably the sweetest most romantic commercial ever. Damn. Now I'm tearing up. Thanks ASHLEY!!!

I saw an article that pointed out this morning how one of her favorite blogs came up in the search results (how to impress a French girl). Love it -- that's like winning the search-bowl!

WORD WIRE -- I actually thought about that after watching it a few times. What great advertising it would be to end up randomly finding your site in a superbowl commercial. Maybe next Google can run a commercial about the Olympics...

This was, hands down, my favorite commercial of the night! The room I was in was silent as we watched it, even the guys, and then all the girls let out a big, "Awww!" at the end of it. Haha. :)

hokay so, first of all, i was planning on posting this commercial too because IT IS MY LIFE, and second of all, not only did i cry during the superbowl at a party with lots of people, but then twice after when i watched it at home. so yeah don't feel bad, i'm pretty sure it's my new favorite commercial ever!

RACHEL -- I love hearing from someone who was actually able to relate to the commercial in a real life sort of way vs the rest of us who just had totally girly emotional responses.
GIFT IDEA! Remake it using iMovie or something using terms that fit you and Eli's relationship!
You don't have to thank me for thinking up the best Valentines Day gift EVER.

OMG SUCH A GOOD IDEA. Too bad he has a Mac and I have a sh*tty as hell PC. :/ I'll have to conjure a way to borrow his computer. Thanks so much!!!

RACHEL -- No problem. If I had thought of it more than like five days till Valentines Day I would have loved to whip that up for you. I am always looking for chances to play with iMovie.
If you make it you have to post it on your blog. Once you both stop crying and making out of course.

Hahahhaaha...thanks, he is going to figure out what I'm up to, but it's ok. I'll send it to you when it's done!
