QOTD: Sunday: OK, so I apologize to those NY Giants fans out there ahead of time! I am a HUGE PATRIOTS fan, particularly WES WELKER! Whether you are watching the SUPER BOWL or not, come up with a healthy treat that would be great to eat during the SUPER BOWL next Sunday evening! Please share the treat and or recipe with us and who you are rooting for! I promise not to hold it against you!![]()
This SuperBowl is *epic* for me! The Giants and Patriots are my two favorite teams, so I just can't lose, and I'm planning on enjoying it all. The SuperBowl is the one party we host every year (we live in a townhouse and just don't have much room for entertaining), so I've been menu planning. There will be a lot of dips and the like, and we'll order in pizzas and have some mini-apps and bite-sized desserts. I'm not trying especially hard to make anything healthier than it already is, but I'm planning to exercise some serious portion control at the party by making my plate, knowing its points, and leaving my food intake at that. Once I've hard my cider or hard lemonade, I'll switch to Diet Coke for my beverage, and any other munchies will have to come from the veggie tray without dips.

It helps to host on a night like this, because I just won't have time to eat as much! Right??

Today was fun - sang two services at our church this morning, lunch with the family at California Tortilla, and then I got to go out by myself and cross another movie off my Oscars list. I've seen all 9 Best Picture nominees now, all but one for Best Actor, all but one for Best Actress, all of the Best Supporting Actress, all but two of the Best Supporting Actor, and all of the Best Director nominees. I love this time of year!

The girls have no school tomorrow but will luckily be covered by our day care center. DH and I are visiting our local public school tomorrow after lunch to meet with the friend of a friend who teaches there and loves it enough to have her own kids go there, in contrast to what we've always heard about the school. We're really hoping this turns our opinions around, as we want to ramp down the tuition we're paying. It's been well worth it, with tiny classes and great attention to the individual, but we always planned to transition to public school...there are so many factors on the table right now that it makes my head spin, and I'm trying not to eat my way through the stress. I didn't think I'd be this worried about schools until college!

i even missed my WI! ugh!
Leonard. we have all the seasons on DVD and watch them over and over and over....if you are ever in LA I would heartily recommmend the Warner Bros studio tour, it was really fun to see where they shoot and a ride through the prop house. We didn't get to go inside the studio for BBT but they were there rehearsing, i got a picture of their cars parked outside the bldg...lol. if only i could've gotten inside and got a pic of myself on Sheldon's spot, that would've been my chirstmas card photo! I have pictures of the outdoor lot too and it's fun to see on the episodes locations that i saw in person. my other fav show (also shot at WB actually) is The Mentalist, i 

Plus, I like the Ranger in my mind!
But I do like house hunters, international better than original, and I love Big Bang Theory when I get a chance to see it. If I'm not working I watch the first 15 minutes of Live with Kelly. I used to like PBS's GlobeTrekker but it's so often reruns now. Rarely go to the movies. Something my girlfriend and I were talking about on our walk this morning. One day when the kids are gone and DH and I are bored out of our minds because we're not running around to their activities, I want to start going again. There's a cool theatre that runs great little films and another place has a series of older films during the winter. One day. 



Was thinking about you all weekend. I am so sorry that things didn't go well with your friend.
