P365: Day 23 - Football
Football isn't normally watched at our house. I don't like it and Ben usually doesn't watch sports on tv. Today, however, he decided to watch it and enjoyed doing so. It was nice to see him do something other than play his online game, even if it was just him watching another type of game.

P365: Day 21 - Cold Winter Day
Of winter's lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer's secret
Deep down within its heart.
-Charles G. Stater
Casual Friday - 5 Highlights from this past week
1. Lazy kind of week
Ben's back has been really bothering him lately, I'm coming down with something (have had a low grade fever and felt yucky the last few days), and the pups have been extra lazy all week.
We've been doing a little bit of this:
2. New International Delight creamer flavor: Almond Joy
I'm sad that I can't get Marshmallow Mocha any longer, but I just may have found a new favorite to replace it. I'm loving the new Almond Joy flavored creamer!
3. Quote
I love quotes and have quite a collection of them saved. This week I came across a new one to add to my collection. It reminds me of my best friend and the kind of relationship we have. I never have to wonder where I stand with her, nor does she with me. We both know, without a shadow of a doubt, that if one of us needs a good swift kick, the other will be right there to oblige. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times over the years she has put things into perspective for me or opened my eyes. I may not always like hearing what she has to say... she may not always like hearing what I have to say... but we say what is on our minds and what may need to be said, without hesitation.
The quote:
But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is doing good. -Oscar Wilde
4. American Idol
Very excited that American Idol started back this week! Even more excited that Ben is actually watching it with me... at least for now! I'm very hopeful about the new judges and think they were perfect picks for the show. It's going to be a good AI season. I just know it!
5. More snow!
It snowed all day yesterday and we ended up having nearly 5 inches of snow. According to the weatherman, we still might get more.
