TDC=Too Darn Cold!

By -
So as mentioned in the previous posting, i had a whole night planned with my girlfriends. Well the fact of the matter is, is that sometimes the weather really does dictate what you can and cannot do. And admittedly, I would've taken driving in the snow last night, then running around in the cold. I can't believe i just said that! Anyway, cousin Kelly was out due to a bad cold :( and Cindy was at a convention, which left Shannon, Jaime and I set for a night on the town. We decided on pizza first at Dulono's which is always delish.... good laughs, Shannon had a blind date, Jaime had a goofy hair stylist lady, so we had lots to chat about. As it was time to leave, and as we opened the door to brave the cold once again. I stopped and said just as we were almost to the car, "How about we skip the museum and the wondrous punch and just go back to my place?" And I think as much as they wanted me to have a fun birthday night out, they were also thinking of my cozy apartment vs. frost bite. Coziness won out to craziness! Which was fine with me... because we had a nice time having snacks and talking into the night. So here is a pic of a night we had last weekend, and this is pretty much the same thing.

Speaking of good friends, I was reading my friend Diana's blog about her good friends, and it made me think about all my good friends. What a blessing it is to have not just one or two but a whole plethora of wonderful and amazingly kind friends. I prayed for good friends, and i think there is a verse that says something about double for your trouble... But I got double double double... God is good like that!


The Patriots are going to the Superbowl! Will Brady make it a 4th win? TBD! Also, watch for a special sports related blog edition of Superfluous that I will be posting soon: Is there a conspiracy against MN top players?

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
