1. What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'? 

I'm going to go with my appointment on Monday with my cardiologist. I don't need to see her for six months. With everything else going on with my health, this was definitely good news. 

2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has it's thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way? 

"Every rose has it's thorn" but I'm hoping to get to "Stop and smell the roses" this year and get my health back in order. 

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated? 

I enjoy getting cards in the mail. I love texting with Amber everyday and also talking with her on the phone. I love when Adam and Gabby have us over. We saw them on Sunday for the Super Bowl.

We will see them on Sunday to celebrate Gabby's birthday which falls on the 14th, Valentines Day, so we don't want to go out to eat on Valentine's day. 

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day? 

Definitely a box of chocolates. Dark chocolate hearts with peanut butter inside from See's candy. No we don't have any plans for Valentine's Day. 

5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love. 

This is a famous love quote: 

“Take my hand, take my whole life too. For I can’t help falling in love with you.” —Elvis Presley    

My dad had met Elvis in person and he did sign a photo for him. This was back in the days when my father managed a movie theater.

1. The Winter Olympics kick off on Friday, February 6th...on a scale of 1-10 how excited are you? (1= eh and 10=watching every event all day every day). What's your favorite Winter Olympic sporting event? 

Maybe 6 or 7. I already have a few things set to record. I think I like the Figure Skating the best. 

2. In other sporting news, the Superbowl (American football's championship game) will be played on Sunday, February 8th. So tell us...what's your superpower?

I will be watching the game. I actually watched more football this year than I have in the past. Because I haven't been too active I got really tired of watching my taped Hallmark movies. 

I don't have a superpower that I can think of. However, I do mail out a lot of cards each year so that might be my superpower. 

3. Are you a romantic? 

I would say yes to that, however Mark is not at all so I am often very sad about that fact. 

4. Blue cheese-yay or nay? How about feta? If you said yes to one or both, what's a dish you like that calls for one of these? 

I'm going to say no to both of those. I might eat some at someone's house but I don't buy them.  

5. What's more important-doing what you love or loving what you do?

I'm going to go with doing what you love but I haven't been doing much of either of those lately.  

6. Insert your own random thoughts here. 

We were blessed over the weekend to watch James for several hours.  We played Bunko, Candyland and a match the pieces game. 

He wasn't having any luck at Bunko which upset him. I had showed you the ring that he had bought for me at school for Christmas and I wear it when we go there and it has brought me good luck playing Bunko. 

So I took it off because he was mad. It was so funny, he was rubbing the ring on the dice before he rolled them but it wasn't working for him. However he did very well at the other games. 

I also brought him over a new pair of pj's. He is really into the soccer player Messi so that made him happy. This picture shows him holding a magic wand. He was showing us some magic tricks.
