Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tablesaw!

I got all of the boxes and wrapping and everything out of the house and into the trash/recycling bins, and even vacuumed! Now I just need someone to buy my old table.

This too shall pass.

Mmmmm, tablesaw!

Decided to just stay home for the Super Bowl. Low carb diet city here so we are having deviled eggs, spinach/artichoke dip filled baby peppers, big fresh salad, and mounds of peel and eat shrimp.

#1 son is here (let's hope he goes to a friend's house), so I am hoping there isn't overly emotional involvement in a game that means nothing to anyone but him. We just watch for fun.

eta: suhweet! Just noticed the shrimp DH bought is peeled.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yesterday was weird i. We got up ,because someone called to borrow one of Matt's guitarrs, then I strte picking up getting ready to move the new to us couch and chair in. And we decided to go big - and rearrange to room. and while DH was out grabbing a few things - my bad tooth flared up and I had an emergency root canal. Then we came home and moved mor e stuff. - including calling a friend for some help to move the couch. And then some friends had us meet them at a bar for a drink - and then fed us dinner. The living room is in pretty decent shape , but the rest of the house is covered in stuff. but I get to go to work in half an hour

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am hungry but the Thai restaurant doesn't open until noon. I feel this is deeply unfair.

Geez, Beth -- you kind of buried the lead there! How's your tooth??

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

After we get lunch and groceries, I am going to the library.(Agatha nominations came out earlier in the week, and I put a bunch of books on hold. Most of them are in now)

Doing our usual Superbowl thing, which is order in pizza and watch the commercials.

For realz!

After I finished my football food plan my vegan friend texted me asking if she could join us. Ooops - good friend so I told her to bring her own food or hummus, peppers, and lettuce would be her choices. I have always had her here previous years but hadn't invited her since she had one of those bs memes about boycotting the game over players kneeling. So I figured she wasn't watching. Guess she got over it.

We're having shrimp cocktail and jalapeno poppers and wings. Maybe turning on the game, I guess?

On NPR this morning, they had a guy who is a veteran who said he started watching football MORE because the kneeling is exactly what he's fought for.

I always wish there were more emphasis on the fact that it's basically the most respectful protest possible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dang, beth, that is a lot of day!

I have no Super Bowl plans. Might be a good time to go the gym and have the whirlpool to myself.
