The Super Duper Hodgepodge

Ok, who watched the Super Bowl? This was the first year since childhood I didn't bother. I did not want to see New England win another one and I am not a fan of the Eagles but I don't absolutely detest them as I do the Falcons so I was just fine with the outcome. Last year I had to suck it up and pull for the Patriots because Atlanta was there but not this year. I watched a bit of the first half and felt the Eagles could pull it off and then I called it a night. It's not that easy to keep up with a toddler without a whole lot of sleep the night before. LOL Anyway, huge CONGRATS to all you Eagles fans out there!

Let's get the Hodgepodge started, shall we? Joyce asks us questions, we answer, and then visit each other. Today's a good day to join in the fun if you haven't already. 

1. February can be a little bit tricky given the weather and the winter and the whatnot. I read a list (here) of things you can do to make your February brighter which included-start planning your next trip, take more baths, make your own chocolate covered strawberries, and exercise in preparation for swimsuit season. Anything on the list you might try? Hahahaha! No. Which suggestion on the list appeals to you most? None of those, actually. I mean, I am exercising but not for swimsuit season, it's so I can keep up with a toddler. Tell us something not on the list that helps make your February brighter. So, those lists would benefit me better during the summer months when I can't stand going outside due to the heat. I love winter and winter days and winter trees are my favorite trees. If the day is gray, I'll be loving it. We do get plenty of sunny days down here in the low-country of SC so I don't need to do anything to have a brighter February. Plus, I'm chasing a toddler every day and taking her outside is like getting a break which makes me appreciate living in an area where I can do that during the winter. Of course, we take her outside no matter the weather. She loves it out there. 

2. Tell us about something you've seen or done recently that you'd say was 'super'? Hmmmm...keeping up with a toddler? 

3. Best thing you ate in a 'bowl' last week? ArtistDaughter made taco soup and sent a bowl over for me to try and it was delicious! Now I know this isn't a big deal to most but this girl who is brilliant and talented and loving being a mommy to Baby R only recently asked me, "How do you cook frozen broccoli?" and was stunned when I told her the directions are right there on the bag so it's kind of a big deal she tackled crock pot soup.  

4. Something you're 'cheering' for right now? I'm cheering for more winter! More snow! And for spring to stay away mostly because summer comes before spring even has a chance to end and with summer comes that oppressive heat.  

5. The Winter Olympics begin Friday, February 9th in Pyeong Chang, South Korea. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being all in and 1 being no interest whatsoever), how interested are you in the games? Maybe a 2. Which event do you most want to see (you'll find a list here). None, really. I'm not a fan of the Olympics though I appreciate the superb abilities of the athletes. If it's not football (college and NFL) or college basketball I'm probably not tuning in. There was a kid on ELLEN this week who competes in ski jumping (with flips and such while in the air is that called freestyle skiing?) and he was so cute and sweet. I would tune in to watch him but I don't want to see anyone land wrong and die so...

6. Insert your own random thought here. Is anyone trying elderberry syrup to ward off the flu or a cold? All of us are. There are too many people out there with a super bad case of the flu and we do not want it. There's a sweet mom nearby who makes organic elderberry syrup among other organic remedies so we buy from her. She even makes the elderberry syrup without honey for those kiddos under the ripe old age of 12 months. What are y'all doing to ward off that nasty flu? 

Speaking of football because I know I mentioned it up there somewhere, have y'all seen this yet? I love these things!

Stay healthy and enjoy the rest of your week!
