At Least We Had Cake...

Meant to put this up the other night, but I was still bummed out about the Super Bowl.

In spite of the disappointing outcome, the evening had its bright side. Namely, my sister-in-law picked up another ice cream pizza, just like the one we had on Christmas Eve. Here's the original:

And here's the special, Patriots-themed version:

(I got one of the slices with sno caps, in case you're wondering.)

Delicious as it was, it failed to produce a Pats victory, alas. Perhaps we should have waited 'til after the game? Anyway, it's a rare treat that gets me to eat dessert on a day other than Thanksgiving or Christmas... but yum, this was so worth it!

The only problem is we now have to wait for another excuse reason to buy another one. Hmm... I'm thinking that the start of spring training next week merits recognition; what say you all?

Aslightly belated Happy New Year! Things have been a bit hectic in Kelly's corner of the universe the past few weeks. Not a bad hectic, for the most part, but still hectic.

In the not-so-good department, my car was hit a few days before Christmas - on my way to my HRT doctor's office, as a matter of fact. This is the fifth time this car has been hit (I've been the hittee, not the hitter, in each instance). My brother, who's a cop, is baffled; as he noted, I'm a careful driver, and he can't figure out how I keep having such bad luck.

The other driver was very apologetic and admitted it was his fault, which helped ease the aggravation a bit. I've had to replace every door and quarter panel at least once since I bought this car back in 1998. Other than seeming to have a target painted on it, this car hasn't given me a second of trouble since I bought it. I just got it back, good as new (or close to it, I suppose). They even detailed it for me for nothing; must've felt guilty making so much money off of all of these repairs! ;c) Here's hoping I've finally expunged any remaining bad driver karma from this car for the rest of its life.
