Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So, like, if I went to TJ's during the Super Bowl...

That's vaguely the plan although it might well segue into going there tomorrow instead. Looks like we are finally taking a massive load over to donate this afternoon

That said, I have to root for Cam Newton and against Peyton Manning.

Yep.

I got up and went to the farmer's market, then hiked in Golden Gate Park because it's sunny and gorgeous outside. Now I'm parked on the couch with coffee and trying to convince myself to get up and make lunch.

I need to do my weekly cooking today, plus some laundry and cleaning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Panthers it is. Go, Panthers, go! Win win win!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Believe it or not, the combination of migraine meds and a LOUD bowling alley managed to stave off my migraine. I should write an article about the miracle of bowling.

My actual bowling skills (inasmuch as you can call my efforts "skills") are apparently NOT improved by migraine meds they way they are by giant margaritas. I bowled a 66, which is bad even for me. But it was fun, so who cares.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was raised to be anti-Broncos. I don't intend to watch, so clearly my feelings on the matter are luke-warm at best. I really should make a Target run before I head to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those rolls look amazing, Consuela!

I did not wait long enough to go to the market today.

Same. I walked by at noon and decided not to go in because it looked like a madhouse, so I waited until three, and that was not long enough. Ah well.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I am also rooting for the Panthers, mostly because Cam is great and Coach Rivera is awesome, but also because my industry friends have been reporting shitty treatment from Broncos-affiliated personnel.

There's a great article somewhere (I'm on mobile, so I'm having problems finding things & formatting posts) about how the Panthers are the first unapologetically Black NFL team. It's a good read.

OK, I have done my taxes! I feel very adult. Of course, my taxes are relatively simple compared to my Dad's. Oy.

Time to do some yard work...

It's great.

And speaking of being unapologetically black, check out Beyonce's new tune. I am not a particular fan of hers, I like some stuff, not others, but this one is great (one might even say that it slays ;) )

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, those rolls look amazing. We did our traditional superbowl calzones. Although, I started this tradition when we were throwing parties all the time and I had teenagers to feed. This game, not only do we not have anyone over, but the SO isn't even home! He mistakenly scheduled himself work hours at his second job, so I drove some calzones over to him for "lunch." But still, it's just me and all the calzones. They came out super great, though.

I am rooting for Peyton, of course. I have followed his career since he was a Vol and I was in college in eastern Tennessee. The SO's family is all in Indiana. And now I live in the west, so I'm pretty much contractually obligated to follow Denver. But I really like Cam, too, and the Panthers have been amazing this year, so I have no problems with it if they win.
