That spring is near. It was beautiful here this weekend — 75 and sunny. Unfortunately, along with spring comes the return of my allergies. Which meant I spent a good portion of the weekend sneezing.
Trees and flowers really don’t need pollen to grow, do they? Because my nose could certainly do without it … :rolleyes:
So I hope everyone had a good Valentine’s Day this weekend. I did. Wheezley and I went out to dinner, ate way too much food, swapped presents, and watched bad movies on TV.
As a result, I have several new books to read, including Graceling, The Stepsister Scheme, The Way of Shadows, and Blue-Eyed Devil (which I already started and am loving).
Now, I love me some books. But Wheezley got me something even better — and cheesier. I am now the proud owner of – wait for it, wait for it – an A-Team T-shirt!
Yes, I can now wear my T-shirt while I watch the DVDs of my favorite TV show. It’s really sad how happy this makes me. 😎
What about you guys? Anyone get anything cool for Valentine’s? Share in the comments.
After a week of snow and cold temps, the weather here is beautiful today. Like, in the 60s beautiful — and it’s supposed to be this way all week. Makes me feel like spring is just around the corner … :bubbles:

Congrats to the Steelers for winning the big game. I feel sorry for the Cards, though. That was a really heartbreaking way to lose. But now, on to the important stuff — the commercials. 😎
Overall, I thought the commercials were pretty weak this year. I liked the Clydesdale commercials, especially the one with the horse playing fetch. But then again, these are always my favorites. I also enjoyed the Audi commercial with Jason Stratham that was a bit of a spoof of Stratham’s Transporter character. Other than that, though, nothing really blew my socks off.
The one with Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz started out well, but then, it got a little sappy. And I had no idea what they were advertising. The Olympics? Jewelry? Buying stuff online?
The beer commercials were lame and not funny at all, along with the car and cell phone commercials. Overall, they were all just … meh. They didn’t even show any cool movie trailers this year. Even G.I. Joe looked cheesy.
And the commercial for Heroes where they are playing football with all the NFL greats … I hope you got a lot of money for that, John Elway. Because it was lame. :rolleyes:
I wasn’t that impressed with the halftime show, either. Half the time, I couldn’t even understand what Bruce was saying/singing. And I felt real sorry for the cameraman he slammed his crotch into when he did his run-and-slide move. The NFL should just get Jimmy Buffett to do the halftime show next year. Seriously. Call Buffett now.
