I'm a total pain in the ass who won't accompany my sweet husband to a Super Bowl Party. I sent Chris off in the freezing cold to a party a town or two away. I've had a mellow weekend and I just couldn't face going out into the frigid weather. Instead, embarrassingly I am going to watch - get this - Beaches and curl up on the counch with a box of tissues and the dog.

I made a really ribstickingly good chicken and barely soup this afternoon and the whole house has a wonderful smell.

Right, off to the couch then.
