Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1. Did you watch the Super Bowl? Did your team win? What's your favorite game day snack for  whatever sport is happening? 

I did watch the Super Bowl.  I really didn't have a team to pull for, so I didn't  care who won.  Since, it was just me I ate a baked potato. 

2. What's your 'superpower'? 

Besides being organized (I am not OCD, BUT CDO haha) here lately,it is being very flexible!!  With the weather we are having this year, we are having virtual instruction days.  Now, since I am OCD, and with technology not going as I planned (internet crashes, assignments won't post, etc.) I have been very flexible and maybe a little creative on getting my instruction across!!

3. Will you do anything special on Valentine's Day? If so do share. Any thoughts on/about this particular holiday? Share a favorite verse or quote relating to love. 

I am a widow, so nothing special on Valentine's Day.  BUT, when hub and I were together, we really didn't do anything special on this day.  We celebrated loving each other everyday.  There were many occasions, for no special reasons, I had flowers delivered to school or would come home to a nice dinner he had prepared, and even sometimes a weekend trip was planned.

I know people who go all out and celebrate Valentine's Day, but just show some love all the time; not just for one day.

I really can't think of a favorite quote relating to love, BUT one quote/saying I don't agree with is...Love means never having to say you are sorry.  To me, love is saying you are sorry.  Maybe you had a bad day at work and lashed out at hub for no reason...then say "I'm sorry." 

4. Are you a fan of the rom-com genre? If so what's one of your favorites? If you're not a movie go-er then what about a book you love that features a great love story? How about a favorite love song? 

I haven't been watching much television/movies these days.   A book that I have read and enjoyed the movie is The Notebook.

"Unchained Melody" my favorite love song.

5. Let's get creative...write an acrostic using the word L-O-V-E. 

Love you always

Obsessed with you until the

Very

End of your life.


6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Last week the stomach bug came to my house.  I was so sick and when I am sick, I cry.  And being by yourself sick, is no fun at all.  Saturday, was the first day I had missed watching grands play any sport, so I cried.  I didn't feel like reading a book, so I cried.  I had purchased the grands a swingset, but since I was sick they didn't come up, so I cried again! It was not the best weekend!!  BUT I felt so much better on Monday!!


 I can't wait till I see their faces, hearing their giggles, seeing their fights, as they play on this!!

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!

  1. Oh I’m so sorry you were so sick that you cried. I remember one time I was so sick that I wanted my mommy. That was about 3 years ago and I cried like a baby. I haven’t ever done that since I was a child - just good memories of my mom taking care of me I guess.

    I agree with you on the quote - “Love means never having to say you are sorry” That’s just crazy. I knew it was wrong when I first heard it as a teen.

    I hope you are feeling better and able to enjoy your grandchildren.

    Take care - Debby
