This and that

 At yesterday’s Mets game, one of  the umpires was a woman!  You go, girl … Spring training game, no winner — the score was tied at the end of 9 innings, so they chose to stop playing.  And I’m so happy baseball is back. Spring training is fine, but they don’t show a lot of the games, unlike the regular season …Opening day is in 31 days.  In the meantime, we’re still bingeing Star Trek: Enterprise. I bought some nail polish from Amazon.  Since it’s a personal care item, it was shipped in an envelope that read “Amazon pharmacy”, leading Drew to make jokes about “buying good drugs” and was I willing to share?  Yeah, pink is definitely his color … I probably should have ordered more hand cream while I was at it.  And maybe some cuticle cream.  This winter weather is murder on my skin. I can’t wait for warmer weather. But at least it’s warm enough to walk the neighborhood.  I really enjoy walking. The last time I walked, I couldn’t help but ...

 The theme? Fever – cabin or running one

Weekend walking

Image
The weather has improved, so I was able to walk the neighborhood this weekend. Saturday’s walk: Some people just can’t let go of Christmas. This house, which sits on a corner lot, has two driveways.  The original driveway leads to the front door.  The garage was added later; it faces a different street than the house.   I happened to catch an airplane flying over the house. Yeah, they do fly low around here. And then there was the helicopter. We see a lot of helicopters around here, too.   It felt good to be outside. And 5hen, Sunday, another walk. Saw a house that was still decorated for fall. Yes, fall. I couldn’t bring myself to take a picture. But these two houses…I love the look of a wraparound porch. I walked three miles on Sunday, and still managed to get home in time to watch the Mets game   

More ramblings

 Baseball is back!  So good to be watching spring  training games. Soto hit a home run his first at bat as a Met.  They won the game 6-2. A good omen? If baseball is back, can the spring weather be far behind?  I am not a fan of cold weather.  Daylight Saving Time is fast approaching.  I won’t complain about the extra hour of daylight, but the time shift … not my favorite… But I guess the extra hour of daylight means no excuses, I can take walks after work.  And that’s not a bad thing,

Emotional dilemma

 I’m not sure how I should feel about something that happened tonight. We had tickets to see Jeff Dunham at the UBS Arena.  We’re big fans. We’ve seen almost all of his tv specials.  We’d previously seen him live at the Nassau Coliseum in  2013  and at Westbury Music Fair in  2014 .  I even named my blue Prius “Peanut”. (IYKYK). Overall it was a great evening. We had wonderful seats, floor seats, four rows back from the stage. (No photos from the show itself, they asked us to please not take photos or videos during the performance,) I was able to get a burger on a gluten free bun - ridiculously expensive but delicious. Jeff was hysterically funny.  And at the end of the night Drew bought me a t shirt — I chose a blue one with Peanut on the front. Now here’s the thing that happened that has left me in an emotional quandary. Background:  As you know, thanks to Wegovy I have lost 120 pounds.  I’m still 40 pounds above my ideal weight, but t...

Saturday 9

  Flowers What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: Flowers (2023)      Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here .   1)  In this song, Miley Cyrus sings about gold as though it represents the best. Do you more often wear gold or silver? I wear both.    2) She also sings the praises of buying herself flowers. Are there any cut flowers in your home right now?  My birthday was Tuesday. Drew gave me roses.   3) She tells us she's going to paint her nails cherry red. Do you handle your own mani/pedi, do you go to a salon, or do you just let your...
