Tasty (or untasty) Tuesday

What don't you like?  (Food-wise)

Eggs - I'm just now to the point where I don't have a full on freak out if there is some residual egg batter on my French toast.  I mean, I'll still cut it off, but I'll also be somewhat mature and not gag or cause a scene if I accidentally ingest it.

Feta/Goat/Blue Cheeses - Nope.

Black Pepper - If you want something seasoned with black pepper in my house, you're going to have to do it yourself.

BBQ (smoked items) - So many people I know have BBQ smokers.  My brother-in-law smokes meat all the time.  I just can't.  I want to like it, but nope.  

What about you?

Monday Monday.....

NGL....I'm NOT feeling it today!  My room is FREEZING!  I just want to go back home and crawl in bed.  I think I might feel a bit more positive if I wasn't so cold.  

Today is a Catch Up day. Most people owe me something.  If this is you, take advantage...  If you're all caught up, then enjoy!

How was your weekend? Mine was fine.  Nothing exciting.  Had people over yesterday for the game.  I won $100 on one of my squares!  Beyond that, game was sorta uneventful, halftime was okay, and the commercials were lackluster?  But...I had fun with my peeps.

Goals for the week?  Get through the week.  Find a tanning salon that's open.  I get SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) around this time each year.  Lack of sunshine, cold weather, etc.  It doesn't do me good.  I generally don't get a severe case, but I get it nonetheless.

Feel Good Friday! From Home...Again

Happy Feel Good Friday!  We made it another week!  

What are you feeling good about today?

• My commute to work this frigid morning was just to walk downstairs.  I like!
• I went out for dinner last night with three of my girlfriends who I haven't seen since before Christmas.  My stomach hurt from laughing.  That's always a feel good!  It felt so nice to be in a restaurant and somewhat normal.  
• Hockey games!  Hockey isn't an IHSA sport, so it's under a different microscope.  We got an email last night that says we are cleared to play games.  His team is just awful and he is mediocre at best, but he's played since he was 7, so I didn't want things to end this way. I hope there can be parent spectators?  I love hockey, but I'm more excited about the fact that my kid can do SOMETHING that gets somewhat back to normal for his senior year.  
• Pizza Friday!  Homemade pizza since I'm home all day and can make a batch of homemade dough.  
• Super Bowl.  I don't really care who wins, but I've got a half a dozen squares out there, so I just want my numbers to win!

What about you?  What are you feeling good about today?

Thursday Smiles

Everything is such a bummer these days.  Weather, COVID, stuff in general - You know what I mean!  My friend Beth teaches kindergarten.  She sent this in our group text yesterday...

Loved “Omg...one kid has been saying all week he has a secret and he'd tell me in 11 sleeps, 10 sleeps. He told me today he REALLY wanted to tell me TODAY and not in 9 sleeps...so he stayed after school and he leans really close to his screen and whispers "I'm in love with Chloe" (a little girl in our class)! Omg...this is why I teach kindergarten!! ♥️♥️♥️”--

This gave me a much needed smile!

What about you?  What has made you smile lately?

 

Wordy Wednesday!

 

How many words can you find?

Tuesday - What Creeps You Out?

I sat down for a hot second last night to watch an episode of Ridiculousness with my fam last night and a commercial for Burger King came on.  Man, that "King" with the mask just gives me the heebs big time.  It creeps me out and I usually change the channel or look away.  The whole thing creeps me out.

What about you?  What sort of normal, everyday thing gives you the creeps, heebie jeebies, makes you uncomfortable, etc.?

Happy Monday - From HOME!

Snow Day today!  Even though we are still e-learning, it's still nice to sleep in a bit.  I legit got out of bed at 7:30.  On a normal day, I would have already been at school for a half hour by 7:30!  Yay!

How was your weekend?  Nothing overly exciting over here.  I wound up at urgent care on Friday night because I had this awful pain in my lower calf and that's a key spot where blood clots can begin.  Blood clots are more common in COVID patients, so I freaked out a bit and went to urgent care.  They said I did the right thing by coming in, but their ultrasound machine wasn't running, so they sent me to the ER first thing on Saturday morning.  So...that was my Saturday morning and part of my afternoon.  Final result...no blood clot. 

Beyond that, the rest of the weekend was basically snow. I don't know how much you guys got down there, but we got at least a foot up here.  I took this picture last night.

Goal for the week...Super Bowl is this weekend and we are hosting.  I need to get things together for that.  Also, my son's 18th birthday is a week from today.  I need to work on that as well.

What about you?

Enjoy your day!
