I LOVE the owl in the bowl. He's so cute when he gets dried! That's one happy bird.

I have used today as an excuse to treat myself to an early birthday celebration. I visited my local cheap (but REALLY good) Thai spa for a facial and massage and then stopped into my cheap (and mostly good) nail place for an eyebrow wax and pedicure. The whole day including tips cost less than a single treatment at the local Burke Williams. I feel pampered and thrifty!

Crap, I forgot who I'm rooting for.

I would be rooting for nachos.

OMG, I can't believe that just happened!

Mmm, nachos. I could theoretically make something nacho like, I have tortillas and cheese...

I had a hummus wrap for lunch and now I'm eating a salad with fruit for dessert. I'm feeling so virtuous right now.

You should!

I just got home and turned it on. Doesn't look like I've missed much. I have the Puppy Bowl being recorded on TiVo. Mostly I just want to see the commercials, I"m tempted to switch back to Property Brothers on HGTV, which is very addictive.

Also, I went to both Loews and Home Depot and (a) they were empty and (b) WTF, why did the people building this house use the most obscure and weird fixtures and things ever? Both the lightbulb choices and the toilet are weird and hard to find parts for. Grr.

That was quite possibly the weirdest first play of any Superbowl ever.

Is it just me, or are there more mistakes in a Super Bowl than other games?

I do wish I had cable for the puppy and kitten bowls.

Nerves.

We made sausage, onion, mushroom, and pepperoncini calzones with homemade marinara sauce. They are the best I've ever made and I am already stuffed before the first safety.

I'm not watching the game, but I am down with nachos and just happen to be headed to the grocery store, so that's convenient. Which will win, Super Bowl empty store, or pre-snow busy store? I'm betting empty; I think people are worn out with the whole snow prep these days.
