Hope you all enjoyed the SuperBowl. Could we be having another storm this week? Looks like school might be out by June 30th this year! Have a GREAT week!

It was a good superbowl. My brother came over and everyone was rooting for different teams. Caro & I could have cared less, but as the game went on I sort of wanted the Cards to win. It was a nail biter!
ok, so this is really funny. On Friday Phil comes home from school and at dinner he says has to pick someone to read a biography on for school, dress up as that person and do a presentation. It has to be a president, first lady, or someone who has contributed to american history. So he says he wants to be Amelia Earhart. He thinks she's cool. So, I said since we'd have to dress up as this person I thought we'd at least try to be "gender specific".
So he says to me, and I quote, "Come on mom, all I'd need is a couple of grapefruits!"
So after Mark & I stop laughing he will also consider being Rosa Parks. At least with her I told Mark all we'd need are some oranges. Ultimately, we have chosen to be Abe Lincoln, which I guess is good. So, lauren's funny friend phil was back again in full force.
Other than that, not much else is new. have a good week...
Go Phil! I am not really sure if Amelia was grapefruits but I do respect your son's sense of humor and historical characters.
Once in an interview that asked if I could be a historical figure who would it be and why...let me preface the answer by explaining that the interviews were running about an hour behind and it was a bunch of middle aged men who all love history. Surveying my audience and using my somewhat questionable sense of humor I said Sojourner Truth. You need to google her to get the full impact of the fact that she was a former slave, kind of old and shriveled who exposed her breasts to an audience and said "ain't I a woman..." Needless to say they were speechless with my choice and I got the job.
Tell Phil to keep them guessing...
Deb, that was priceless! I cannot stop laughing :)
I would have paid money to see Phil dress as Amelia Earhart. He could have worn the snoopy red barron googles and all. That boy is going to be on the Comedy Channel one day and we will all say we knew him when.
Deb... how did you ever keep a straight face?
The best part of the superbowl for me was that I won the pool for $50 I watched until the halftime show...Bruce is looking old... and then went home and put the kids to bed. I guess I missed all the excitement. Ed was the only Steelers fan in the room.
Looks like more snow - the kids already have an early dismissal. Ed left at 3:30am for a flight to Cleveland. I guess I will be shoveling.
I was in the city on Saturday with the girl scouts to see Wicked. It's such an amazing show... even better the second time.
I got the flu last week and was out of work Thursday Friday and Monday. I had a fever Friday Saturday and Sunday. I don't wish this on anyone. The doctor yelled at me for not getting the flu shot. What do you guys think?
I haven't tried the popcorn balls yet...as I haven't had an appetite.
I have never gotten a flu shot and I've never gotten the flu. That is saying something when people repeatedly hack all over me everyday I'm at the hospital. I will tell everyone who is our age to not get a flu shot. If you are old (say 60 or over) or prone to getting the flu to get one, otherwise, don't ask for trouble.
I get a flu shot every year and so do my kids....the only time I got the flu was before I starting getting the shot.
I highly recommend it! (Sorry Dan)
That's ok Lynn. Try the flu shot next year Nancy and if you don't get sick afterwards get it again. A few years ago 3 techs got a flu shot then got the flu. Maybe it was just a bum batch but I swore I wouldn't take it. So far so good, but my luck is sure to run out at some point.
There's been a change in the history report department. We are now doing the Wright Brother's. He cannot decide whether he wants to be Wilbur or Orville, but I do know that there was some disappointment when he found out they were not responsible for making popcorn as popcorn people were Redenbacher, not Wright. So, we are about 30 pages into our book.I'm thinking he's on an aviation kick. We'll still need to get goggles but I did tell him he could not dress up as half one brother and half the other. Crazy.
I had a popcorn ball last night and it tasted ok to me but I am a little congested so maybe I am not a good judge.
