Are you doing anything for the Super Bowl on Sunday?

For years my ex and I hosted a Super Bowl party. People would bring appetizers, desserts, and some beer. I would make all of the main meal and my ex would go get a bunch of beer, Twisted Tea, wine, etc. We turned the basement into a big entertaining area since the front room of the house was small. We could easily host 20 people. It was always a fun time with lots of laughs. One year I think we even did one of those pools with all of the boxes. Well needless to say that tradition ended when we got divorced. My cousin has taken over the tradition but I've never gone to her parties. She lives over half an hour away and I hate driving at night anyway let alone after having a couple of drinks. So I've just been staying here at the apartment and watching the big game on my own. I could go to the usual hangout but I know my ex will be there. He and I are on very good terms but we do try to go there at different times. It is fine. I will have the game on, have some tortilla chips and queso, and probably not even stay up for the whole thing. I am definitely interested in the half time show this year. It has Mary J Blige, Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and someone else that I've never heard of. Kendrick someone maybe? Everyone is predicting that Gen Z is going to be shocked when they see their parents (my age) rapping and dancing along with the performers. Will you be watching? If so at home, at a friend's house, or out somewhere else?

Friend will be coming over..NJChicca, why don't you just have your own party? You don't need the ex there to have a good time. I am sure you know people you could invite. Sitting by yourself in the apartment is just going to reinforce your feelings of lonlieness, and like how your life will never be whole again. This is your life now, and you have to make it as good as you can.. Life doesn't stop because you got divorced..how many years has it been now??

@snowy22315 My neighbor from downstairs might pop up. She is boycotting the NFL due to her political beliefs. haha

We will be watching at home, probably with some pizza. We will skip the halftime show as we don't care for any of the entertainers.

We'll be watching (halftime show and commercials) from home. I think we'll do taco/nacho fixings and mini desserts!

I will not be watching. With a semi-local team (the Bengals) in the game, I’ll just listen for noise and fireworks that’ll tell me if they won.

We used to attend Super Bowl parties at our clubhouse in Florida, but that’s not gonna happen. I will watch it with hubs for the commercials and snacks.

I am not a fan of football. The Puppy Bowl used to be on at the same time, if it is this year I may watch it. Or a movie. Or most likely, a book. Enjoy your game time.

I will not be watching as I have not watched football in years. I certainly will not be tuning in for the halftime show as I cannot stand that kind of music.

I forgot all about the Super Bowl! What teams are playing? In the past, I would throw a spread for just the roommates and me. But, obviously have lost interest.
