Went to basketball game last night and learned something new, of the totally random variety. Prior to DH's varsity game the JV team plays. The JV team was all wearing those baggie long basketball shorts, while the varsity team wears mid-thigh shorts. So I asked DH why this was the case. (he knows my preference for the thigh exposing variety of course) So he tells me that those are last year's uniforms. The JV team gets the handmedown uniforms from the varsity team the following season and the varsity guys get new ones. Apparently the shorter shorts have regained popularity so they chose those.
I was extraordinarily productive today, in a way. I planned out the next 4 weeks of meals in detail. (just dinner because I eat salad every day for lunch, or soup, but no planning required) I like to cook, but I hate the daily what to eat decision stuff. So no decisions for the next month! Showed it to DH and he was all on board. Includes eating out once a week because that is just going to happen.
Wow, Laura, that's impressive!
I have a ton of people who ravp'd to my Super Bowl party tomorrow, I'm not sure where they'll all sit! My tv is not that big! But hopefully it'll be fun. Trying to convince myself to go to the grocery store, since I definitely need to, but it's a hassle with the boot, unless I want to pay for a Lyft home
Grocery delivery is how I survive.
I've made plans to go out grocery shopping at the super-busy-but-cheap store (Market Basket) during the Superb Owl. I live on the edge.
I used to love going to the grocery store during the Super Bowl! It was empty, and as long as you didn't want beer or tortilla chips, you could get everything on your list.
The only reason I don't do that now is that we usually go to my mom's for the Super Bowl. I don't give a damn about the game, but there's always good food, which means I don't have to cook. And since my mom and stepdad are vegetarians, Tim knows he'll get a good meal where he doesn't have to cobble together a sandwich from a hamburger bun and condiments.
I hope everyone is rooting for the Saints.
My parents met in Goose Bay. Mom was an Air Force nurse and dad was a doctor.
I can't believe this has never come up before! I have vivid memories of Goose Bay because it was such a strange environment. The snow drifts alongside the rides were 8-9 feet tall so you were always driving around in white mazes.
I hope everyone is rooting for the Saints.
Absolutely! First of all that non-call was bunk of the first order. Second, fuck the Pats. Tired of their shit. As I noted on FB I hope Brady gets tackled so hard his kneecaps fly off and put out Belichick's cheating, peeping eyes and he staggers out to the 50 yard line with bloody gouged sockets like some testosterone raddled King Lear. And I just found out the Rams owner is a big game hunter who likes to kill Lions. So fuck that guy too.
Basically the NFL is toxic plus at this point. But I'll always root for whatever brings joy to New Orleans.

I just have their stories about it, I've never been there. I believe dad was posted there two different times, but I'm not certain.
Here is an article about my mom from when she was based in Winnipeg. [link]
It mentions that she was a veteran of northern flight missions, that's from her postings in Goose Bay.
I love that article about your mom. So cool.
