The only start up I admire on superb owl sunday: [link]

We're also doing pancakes for dinner for the kids and soup for me. We went to the gym and it was blissfully empty due to the Big Game.

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

Not to mention Lady Gaga KILLED IT with the national anthem.

She did!

Sounds delicious!

It turned out pretty good! Now I have breakfast for the week. Next up is a big pot of savory oatmeal. I'm thinking spinach, tomatoes, pesto, and parmesan.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We're having leftover tortellini and nachos. I know these things don't go together but the tortellini were leftover and needed to be finished but wasn't enough for a meal. Also, I really wanted nachos.

Anyone here willing to talk to me about pumping breast milk either here or back channel? I just attempted to pump for the first time and it was an epic fail. I don't know if I just waited too long or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm way more upset than I probably should be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Instead of pancakes, Tim requested egg drop soup, because he's feeling under the weather. So I made him some soup, and made frozen waffles for me. Close enough to pancakes for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

sj, I don't know anything about pumping, but I do know something about using new tools to do new things for the first time, and it almost never goes well.

sj, I pumped for ages. Happy to help if I can. It can take some time getting the knack of it and it is MUCH easier for some people than others. Are you using a hand pump, or electric? I found the key for me was to get let-down, which I found needed some mental effort as well as the physical.

Our wings are not tired.

So long ago, but I didn't have a whole lot of luck with pumping. The most luck I had was having an awkward method of collecting on one side while nursing on the other since I leaked like mad on the other breast.

Watching football of course. The guys are amused as I applaud good stuff on both sides and am disappointed with the missed on both sides. Have reasons to like both sides and no real preference. Except for Beyoncé and Bruno. That I am really looking forward to. Also, Gaga was great. Nice pipes, Lady.

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

sj, I'd also be happy to talk with you about pumping. I've been pumping since day 1, and I'm just now getting into the swing of it.

Um, did you guys watching the Super Bowl elsewhere see an ad for Michael & sons featuring Mike Tyson? Or was it just local (it's a local plumbing/hvac company.)
