Couch 188: Who needs those people, anyway?

I don't like dressing of any sort really. Sometimes I will add oil and vinegar if I am having company, but I really prefer it plain.

I will never forget my 8 year old nephew's reaction when i gave him a 20 year old plastic ice cube (hence yellowed and desiccated) containing a bug - this was when Jurassic Park first came out? - "Amber! It's amber!"

Its like, who needs the superbowl, or an oscar? Those moments are the best, one to one

Hugs, Elio, that sounds like a lot to go through. Glad you still get to be grandparents to him though. And he’s adorable!

H never uses salad dressing. I like vinaigrettes generally, but there’s a garlic cream dressing at a local place that I like.

I learned just in the past month that I like salad better without dressing.

If it’s Greek salad, I don’t need dressing because the olives and feta provide enough contrast in salt and acid to the lettuce. (Uh it’s possible I’ve watched too much Top Chef...)

I ended up coming home a day late from vacation. The airport had a major incident and I had to wait all day while my flight time kept changing to later and later and later and later. Ugh. I finally now am home, a day later and I don't have a day to rest. So, this is going to be an exhausting week at work. No T this week. I am not a fan of myself as of late.


On a good note, my D liked what we got her and my dog is so happy to see me -- he won't stop kissing me and he isn't letting me out of his sight.

ok now i realise most the stress in my life came from my ex. he rang twice last night convinced that i was going to be flooded as i am quite near a low lying suburb but i couldnt convince him that you actually drive up an incline to get to my suburb so it was safe from the flood.

painted a photo in memory of my dog today. I'm happy with it

wow, lots of good reads. Going to go to start and enjoy this post with a cup of coffee

It was finally warm enough today to take the dog for a nice proper walk. We went to the local park and walked around the path. It was nice to get out in nature for a little while then I had to give the him a bath because he got a little muddy. He was pleased with the walk and less so the bath but all well ends well. I will probably take him for a short walk this evening around the block then settle in for the night. H will be tying up the TV with the Super Bowl so I’ll probably go upstairs to my room and stream something on my IPad.

i've had such a rough weekend. i just wrote my t an email crying, and i never cry.

I am eating broccoli chicken cheese casserole hot from the oven and trying to remember what I know about the Punic Wars.

I’m not watching the Super Bowl. I know Tony Romo’s going to win.

Watching the Super Bowl commercials. I don't care who wins.

No one is missing anything by not watching the SuperBowl. It's incredibly boring. 3-0 at the half. Zzzzzz.

And I want Rams to win because they're not the Pats, but they're looking so bad offensively that I don't see any chance of it happening. I would not be surprised if they got shut out.

My boys are watching the Super Bowl with their dad. I am reading in my cozy chair, and catching up on emails and the like.

I went downstairs and stole the Cheetos. They are vile and addictive at the same time. You all can have the Oreos and the other sweets, salty-crunchy is my junk food nemesis.

It's hard to read or type with orange fingers.

I made a pot of vegetable barley soup this evening - found a can of diced tomatoes with Hatch chilies - oh man this is the best veggie soup I've ever made!!

I've never even heard of the Punic Wars. And I'm not watching the Stupid Bowl either.

Maybe I should turn it on—I like low-scoring. More tension. But that is probably the baseball in me talking.

I also love Cheetos, but not the crunchy ones, the curly ones. I attribute this to my parents using them during potty training. (Have at it, Freudians.)

From your lips to trumps ears!!

I know NONE of these songs adam is singing. One sounds like he sampled something from my day.

Really? I am having a blast! I love Tony Romo's digs at THE WORLD for complaining he talks too much! "that darn jim nantz predicting the missed field goal" "gee my mike is broken!"

Yes, salty-crunchy for me, too! Crunchy Cheetos are awesome. And sometimes, I love the salty-sweet (yogurt-covered pretzels, kettle corn).

Halftime show was awful, too.

So it wasnt just me!

Eta - i love that a player is named "girlie"

He helped one of my fantasy teams to finish the season in first place! (Didn't win championship though.)
