This Week

This Week

What’s on my mind this week?  Football.

NFL Sunday Ticket package is purchased, and the apps downloaded on my phone and iPad.  The Eagles schedule has been carefully added to my Google calendar.  And instead of a fancy dinner, my husband and I will be celebrating our 4th anniversary at the Meadowlands for the Eagles-Giants game, in luxurious club seats.  I.  Can’t.  Wait.

Football aside, this week has been a good one.  I’ve made some good progress on the clothing purge and some work projects (already started on #HGQ03!). I got to catch up with Usha over afternoon tea and see several of my girls at Arielle’s cooking class.  And I’m planning to make a giant pot of gumbo and a batch of pralines on Friday night for a cozy evening at home with the husband, watching Captain America 2.

Let’s dig into those links, shall we?
