The Chiefs are going to the big game!

After 50 years, we are going back to the Super Bowl.  The last time this happened I was an infant.

What a ride.  The game against the Titans was a good game.  It seemed like it went quickly and then again it seemed like it took forever.

Happy Martin Luther King day.  A bunch of happy people in KC.  We watched from afar and felt just as much pride.

Today we are having a low key day.  I am making dinner for my in laws tonight.  My MILhas not been feeling well and is having some tests today and tomorrow.  I have a pork roast in the crock pot and I am making a big dish of mac and cheese and home grown green beans.

Have a great day!

cookies for breakfast

Sometimes you just gotta have cookies for breakfast.  I have done well all week, then no plans for breakfast today and since I am doing intermittent fasting, when I work out and then wait till noon to eat - I was starving and they were just starting at me.  The plain old cheapo store bought sandwich cookies.  Very boring.  But I am one of those who hates to waste food, so I grabbed the 6 or 8 left and just wolfed them down.  Booooooooo.

At least I have a plan for dinner.  Fish and baked potatoes, veggies.  And I am using the left of the broth (frozen - defrosting now) from Thanksgiving turkey.  Will puree with some roasted red peppers and have a yummy soup with lots of vitamin C.

Yesterday I was planning to drive to city to see my sick uncle and my dear grandmother, but the forcecast is yucky so I postponed.  Since I had front loaded my workouts and chores early in the week, my husband and I enjoyed staying home and watching Downton Abbey movie.  It was good.  Now we are watching The Crown.

I hope you are warm and cozy where you are.  If you have been very good, enjoy a little cookie treat with me.  Here are my newest 3 dogs I am getting there photos printed to put on my shelf with my current doggie and my doggie Chico who passed in Oct.  The last one is Chico.



ct.  I still miss him.

20/20/20/20

Tonight at 8:20 it will be 20:20 of 2020.  What will you be doing to celebrate?  We will probably spend hump day evening watching Downton Abbey.  We were very late to this party.  We just started watching after Christmas.  Heck we are late to the Netflix thing, only signing up for it a year ago.  But we are enjoying it quite a bit.  We have that and Amazon Prime.  Actually Downton is Prime.  We start today on the last season and are loving it.  Then we will round up the movie.

We are having Tuscan shrimp and beans and buffalo roasted cauliflower.  I am sitting here waiting for the vet to call us saying our two little chihuahuas can be picked up.  They had their dental cleaning appointment today.  I got up early and got their harnesses on, took them out to potty and then drove to the vet with their favorite blankets so they would not be cold and scared waiting in their little area.

Chihuahuas are known to have bad teeth and require a cleaning every couple of years in which they are put under anesthesia and on an iv if they are older.  Mine are both at the age where the may or may not need iv/blood test, since they are rescued we don't know exact age, so we opt for these safeguards just to be safe.  Well the vet has called twice saying my little girl now has developed a heart murmur and has at least 2 teeth to be pulled.  I am sad for her.

At least they will be good for coupe more years, fingers crossed.  And hopefully the little boy we just rescued a few months ago will not require any teeth being pulled.

The weather is great today.  Enjoy your day, wherever you are.
