120 - up 1.2 likely due to Super Bowl eating LOL.

Speaking of which - boring Super Bowl and that had to be the worst halftime show. Probably because I have never heard any of the songs and typically don't like rap music. What age did that show appeal to? But the company at our friend's house was good. We were home by about 9:30 and didn't even watch the end of the game.

Today is water aerobics and tonight I am going with 4 other women to a fashion photography lecture and showing at the local museum followed by dinner out. I might try to visit the woman who Justice will stay with next month during mid-day.

Thats the agenda on another gorgeous Florida day!

Have a marvelous Monday!

My dad was blessedly feeling better yesterday. Not entirely back to his old self, but better. We had a friend of my folks and her daughter over for the game. She talked way too much and annoyed them as they really want to hear all the commentary. I think I am too old to understand the appeal of Kendrick Lamar... But I was rooting for the Eagles, so that was good.

I looked at my calendar and have not a single thing until Saturday. How nice is that?! It's beautiful yet again today, with a welcome chance of rain late in the week. Fingers crossed.

Weird observation, but I just noticed all my arm hair is gone. The last time this happened was after my VSG. I might check out Google.

I hope you all are well!

Jealous of your not busy week! I'm glad your Dad seems to be perking up. My son told me why he likes Kendrick Lamar which was mostly around his speaking out on disturbing issues in his songs. He said he was surprised that they let him sing what he did.

My scale is stuck at 135.1. Hmmmmmmpphhh! We didn'****ch the game last night. Still need to search out the best commercials!

Weather is cold for the next few weeks. Lots of zero and below zero temps! Yuck!

DH working today. DC1 hanging out here. I think I'll hop on the treadmill for a bit and do a little arm work with weights. No excuses not to! Might get to editing some Hawaii pics too.

Vegetable beef soup for dinner. Perfect for a cold WI night!

CC, I'm so glad your Dad is starting to feel better! I talked to my Mom on the phone this morning and she is sounding better too! Enjoy your "free" days coming up!

Liz, have fun at your fashion photography event and dinner. That sounds like a lot fun. So does water aerobics. A local friend has a friend that just bought in the Florida community we were going to build at. I see prices are going down some and the friends friend says that they are paying about the same for insurance in FL that they were paying in WI. I think I will have to contact the friends friend and talk specifics! Maybe FL will be in our cards in the next few years after all!

That sounds hopeful for the Florida housing market.

We thought the WeatherTech ad was the best!

THE BEST!!!!

Greetings all

Early here for me. Woke up early. No clue why. Must be because it's sunny again and I don't wake up well unless there is sun.

So yeah that Super Bowl was kind of a yawn. Mahomes just fell on his face and the Eagles had it together. But we ate chili and had fun. Glad it was ok for you Eagles fans.

And yeah I am too old to get Kendrik. Overall it was not a bad show but if you close your eyes and just listened to the music it was lacking. Not sure if I could have turned on closed captions to understand lyrics so I just did not get it.

CC glad your Dad perked up. Hope it continues. Don't ya just hate it when people talk over the tv? DH does that on the news all the time.

Glad it's a nice day in Florida Liz. Enjoy.

Lots to do. Checking on eye surgery antibiotics. realized I don't know much about the whole thing so must study. And must finish up the gallery lease stuff, go to studio and pick up stuff and make more. Probably should hit the gallery too.

I tried some crackers made with cauliflower last night. They satisfied the crunch need and were ok but had the faint odor of cauliflower. Ok but not all that great. I guess they are gluten free which is not an issue for me.

Time to get moving. Must choose a play list for walking.

126.8 - back up after Super Bowl foods we really didn't enjoy that much.

Yeah, the Eagles definitely won that game! I was sorry to see the Chiefs fall apart as they did. But c'est la vie!

And the halftime show was very disappointing as entertainment. I'm aware of the Lamar v. Drake grudge fest and a bit about why. But at Super Bowl halftime I really don't want to have to listen to a 10-15" long rap about it. Most of all I couldn't understand a single two words in a row. And I didn't think the staging was very good. Again ... I wanted to be entertained. So sue me.

On an earlier subject about men who may prefer happy tears to sad ones--IMHO, men's emotions are often quite different from women's emotions--in the events that prompt them and how they're expressed. I've been reading lately about how very much our childhood stresses and traumas affect our adult emotions and our ability to express them, how we express them, and how well we can control them. And of course our early "training" (by which I mean to include our modeling of what we think is expected of us in certain situations and how our parents, teachers, and other adults encouraged, rewarded and punished us for expressing various emotions in specific cir****tances) shaped our "grown up" emotions, whether we suppress or express them. Big, big subject!

On that front, DH's mother died when he was seven years old, and her death was definitely the defining event in his young life, followed by his father's horrific behavior afterward. Life makes a lot of unfair demands on some kids.

Today, we finalized our home and combined auto insurance plan. Again, it's surprising how much money we saved just by being married and combining our auto insurance under one plan. Doesn't seem fair to single people.

Oh my goodness, this virus is kicking my butt. I tested Covid, and so far negative. I'm sneezing like a machine gun, so I'm going to need to call in sick yet another day. Nothing else to report, except I hope DH doesn't get this!
