For those of  you who follow American football, I hope you’re happy with the results of Sunday’s games.  Both games were hard fought and went right down to the wire–and beyond, since one went into overtime.  The Superbowl should be fun, although often the playoff games to get to the Superbowl are often the better games.  Not sure yet whether I’ll be cheering for New England or New York.  I have two weeks to make up my mind.

But I do need your opinions on something.  In honor of the playoffs, Reggie and I decided to make our own pizza from scratch.  We conquered the dough, which turned out great.  The sauce was fine, as was the cheese for the top.  But here’s the thing–she’s decided she doesn’t like meat on pizza.  Yeah, you heard me–no meat: no pepperoni, no sausage, no nothing.  Instead she wanted to screw up my pizza with stuff like artichokes and spinach.  Seriously–spinach.  What’s up with that?  Do I look Kalith?  I know Larem and Barak like all kinds of weirdness on their pizza, but I expected better of Reggie.

She thought I should eat healthier stuff.  Fine.  But I like my salad on the side, not on the pizza.

What do you think?

I hope everyone has had a great time celebrating the holidays!  Alexis has a houseful of company, so she’s feeling a bit scattered.  The baking alone has kept her hopping–she made her family’s favorite cookies, a pumpkin pie, and a blueberry pie.  The blueberry recipe came from the same aunt who made the snowflakes.  That pie disappeared completely as soon as it was time for dessert.  Yum!

Reggie and I cut our own tree–first time I’ve ever done that.  We bought decoration–and the ones representing my favorite football teams were given prominent display.  Reggie is an understanding woman, don’t you think?

Take care–I’ve got today off and I’m going to make the most of it.

Alexis has had me toting boxes and crates so she can get her holiday decorating done.  I’m happy (and relieved) to say that the last tatted snowflake got hung on the tree this morning. Unless she goes on a binge and buys a bunch of new decorations, we can all rest easy for now.  She made me promise to post this picture again.  He’s always one of her favorites–she grins like a loon when she unwraps him.  Despite the truly manliness of myself, I have to admit I kind of like the little guy myself.

Her favorite ornaments are the tatted snowflakes that her aunt made for her years ago.  Although her aunt is gone now, each snowflake Alexis hangs on the tree shines and polishes all of her favorite memories of her.

So does anyone else have a special ornament/decoration that means a lot to you?
