My opening news for today is from last
night, and despite the attempts by our families and friends to pretend that
they don’t believe us; Michael and I did have an authentic, unintentional sofa
sleepover! ;^)
No, I’m serious. One minute we were starting to watch the
movie; and the next – it was time to get up for Tai Chi. I definitely fell asleep first; Michael would
have gone home; but Mom invited him to just stay instead of going out in the
cold just to go home for a few hours of sleep.
We did have fun with getting teased about it today – whether that was at
home, church, or at the Inn.
We’ve also had a very busy day; and I am
wiped out. Tai Chi was at my house;
breakfast was at Michaels; and we had a good morning at church and Sunday
school. The service ran long, so Michael
and I needed to hurry to the Inn, and thanks to some snow and more sick
call-ins; we had even more work to do to get ready for the lunch crowd. There wasn’t a lot of snow to shovel, but
enough that the sidewalk did need to be cleared. I helped with the kitchen prep work at first;
worked the dining room for the meal; and then Michael and I did our homework
during our afternoon break – before helping to get set up for the Super Bowl
buffet-party.
Doors opened for that at five; there was a
social hour while most of the guests also watched the never-ending pre-game
festivities; and then everyone had time to get first plates of food before
kick-off. I am not going to offer a
play-by-play of the game.
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles for winning their first Super
Bowl championship today; but now I’m just glad for the break from football – or
at least there will be a break once the boys finish with the post-game gossip
at school tomorrow.
The game and party did mean a late night
for Michael and me – and everyone else that worked late tonight. I’m glad that our guests had fun, and Michael
and I did too; but that’s made it tough to get home so late and still have all
of my work and studying to get finished.
It was past-midnight by the time I was in bed; I’ve used too much power
for the time phasing to get everything done before morning; and no it’s time
for me to crash and nap while I still can.
The football fans around here are more
excited than I am, but I can admit in my journal that I just can’t enjoy very
many professional sports because they’ve generally forgotten what sports are –
a game that’s supposed to be fun and entertaining.
I’m way too tired for any sort of
rant. Let’s wrap this up; I’ll get some
sleep; and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
