Welcome to February in Wyoming?

Um.

Yeah.

This was what I woke up to this morning. And don't let the -22 fool you. With the windchill factor, it was actually -34!

Super Bowl Day!!!!!

It's Super Bowl day!!! WHOOOHOOOO!!!!!

As a Seattleite, I'm super excited. As a Seattleite living just north of Denver? Even more exciting. I have a connection to both teams, which has literally never happened, and I'm actually looking forward to watching the game itself, not just the commercials… which has also literally never happened.

Usually, Super Bowl match-ups involve one team I despise (like the Patriots or 49ers) and one team I'm "meh" about. So I root for the team I'm "meh" about so as to not promote evil, obviously.

But in this case? I like both teams! No one is evil! I love Russell Wilson AND Peyton Manning!

It's gonna be a good day!

If you find yourself hosting an impromptu Super Bowl party, here's my list of Do's and Don'ts.

Happy Hump Day everyone!!!

I be jammin'

Some people spent yesterday watching the absolutely EPIC playoffs (where both of my teams won!)

I spent it doing this...

Canning jam! Raspberry, and blackberry-raspberry, to be precise.

And yeah, I made up the last one. From scratch. And it was delicious.

Domesticity for the win, baby!

I love canning. There's something soothing and comforting about it. It's almost Zen-like for me.

Plus, you end up with beautiful jars of homemade food!

(Next up, salsa. Well, soon, anyway.)

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have school work to tend to. Because the soul-crushing stress is beginning to get to me…
