Superbowl 50

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

​It's Superbowl Sunday! Did everyone watch the big game? Spoiler alert... don't read the rest of my post if you don't want to know who won the game.
Alright, so if you're still reading, then I'm guessing you either watched the game, don't care about the game, or already had the outcome spoiled somewhere else. So congratulations to the Denver Broncos! More importantly, congratulations to Peyton Manning! Since my family roots for the Giants (well, except for my dad, who loves the Miami Dolphins), we always root for Eli Manning's brother if we're out for the season. If our quarterback can't take it home, then we hope that his brother can. There have also been rumors flying that Peyton Manning is set to retire, and if that's true, then at least he's going out on a huge win. It's nice to end your career on a high like that.

My sisters and I all pitched in to make finger foods for the game tonight. The twins helped my sister roll hot dogs in crescent rolls to make pigs in a blanket, and I made one of our favorite kinds of chicken tenders. Unfortunately, Twin A, my brother, and my sister all decided to watch other thing during dinner, but Twin B sat with my mom and I as we watched the beginning of the game.

Did you see Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem? Wow, she always blows me away. I still remember when I first started listening to her music back in high school, and the twins were babies. They had to be one or two years old, and they would sing the chorus of "Bad Romance" and request to watch the music video. It was hilarious! We used to say that they were 'Baby Gagas' and though they're not babies anymore, they still ask to watch the video once in a while.

I had also been looking forward to watching Marlee Matlin perform the National Anthem in sign language. I love her as an actress and as a person anyway, but I thought it would be great to see what I knew would be a beautiful performance in ASL. Unfortunately, however, whoever runs the television network apparently doesn't care about ASL as much, because you saw about two signs before the screen cut away from the interpretation. I was so bummed out! I mean, especially with someone as famous as Marlee Matlin signing, there should be one of those little bubbles on the bottom of the screen so you can see the ASL even when you're being shown other things on screen as well. I remember my mom saying that one other year as well; what's the point of having someone interpret if you can't even see them?

The halftime show is always something that I look forward to as well. Coldplay, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars were fantastic together. I loved the throwback videos to old halftime performances. There was such high energy throughout the show and I thought that it was well done all around.

I hope everyone had a great Superbowl Sunday, whether you went out and partied or stayed home with the family. We may not do much to celebrate the game, but I always enjoy eating finger foods in front of the television and watching the game with my family.

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
