The Super Bowl - the game we've been waiting for all season. I'm not too excited that the Packers won't be in Indianapolis, but since I was born and raised in New England, I'll still watch and root for the home team Patriots. Will you be glued to the tube with the guys on Super Bowl Sunday? Stuck in the kitchen making snacks? Enjoying a day out with the girls somewhere? I asked women around the country what they'd be doing on Super Bowl Sunday and here's what ten of them had to say.
"In my house, I'm the football fanatic! We usually get a pot of chili going and if I'm lucky, I can convince my husband to watch with me." - Kelly, Annapolis, Md.
"I will be sitting at a bar in a nudist resort with my friends and family. We will be enjoying hot dogs, chicken wings and a large cake to celebrate. The excitement is so rewarding just watching the crowd having so much fun. It is even more relaxing when you can watch the game nude. No clothes to restrict you." - Carolyn, Kissimmee, Fla.
"I'm not much of a football fan, so I probably will skip the game altogether. I usually take the time to chill and pamper myself a bit...massage, manicure, etc. I recently got a copy of a really soothing audio companion called Virtual Boyfriend. It's some guy who just talks to me like a boyfriend would. Since I'm single and not pressured to watch football, I'll probably just put him on and relax! - Mary, Summit, N.J.
"I admit it. I don't even know who is playing in the Super Bowl yet, but I love an excuse to throw a party. We are having a couple families over to enjoy the big game. I will be spending time in the kitchen beforehand making snacks but I plan to enjoy the game alongside everyone else. Plus -- I'm a marketing girl so I don't want to miss out on any commercials." - Jami, Scottsdale, Ariz.
"For the first time ever in my life I will be watching the actual Super Bowl (not just the commercials and halftime) and actually know what is going on and be able to have conversations with fellow sports-lovers. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. I am quite excited. I also plan to wear a cute Super Bowl party outfit because, hey, that's just who I am." - Ida, Orlando, Fla.
"I will be spending Super Bowl Sunday in New York City enjoying a Broadway show. It's one of the best times of the year to get great seats to a show because everyone else is watching the Super Bowl!" -- Suzy, Denver, Colo.
"My husband and I will drive from upstate N.Y. to the Jersey Shore. He will drive my dad to my brother's house for the 40th annual Watkins Super Bowl Party in Springfield. I'll hang out with my mom at my parents' house; she has a chemo treatment the next day and needs to rest up. We're going to map out our family tree for the younger generations and share some quality time together!" - Tara, Meredith, N.Y.
"I will be sitting with my 92-year-old father, having a great dinner and enjoying a great game! Of course, it would be even better if the Green Bay Packers were playing, but that will have to come next year!" - Antonia, Sturgeon Bay, Wisc.
"In my house, I'm the big football fan and will be dragging my significant other out of the house to enjoy the game at our local sports bar on their big screen TV. That way I'll have others around to scream and yell with on the big day and not feel too crazy for doing it." - Karen, Seaside, Ore.
"During the Super Bowl, I will be watching the game and taking notes for my sports website (which will host recaps of the game and commercials) and hanging out with my kids. We all like to watch the game together every year." - Lisa, Austin, Texas
