My Comfort On A Cold Day

Posted on by LFFL

Breakfast

A 6″ x 5″ x 2″ Cinnamon Roll, a Five-Way Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Hash browns with cheddar cheese, and French Vanilla Cappuccinos.

Well this is going to be my comfort food for the day.  This should last me all morning for breakfast and maybe even lunch.  Thank goodness for local diners!

I refuse to leave the house because the streets are slippery, there’s snow on the ground, and mainly because it’s like 8°F outside!  I abhor this weather.  I’ll take 150ºF over this nonsense any day.

It’s a snuggle kind of day under a throw blanket on the couch with flannel pajamas and hot food and drinks while watching television and DVDs.

It’s been so cold lately that I think I’ve now seen every episode of:

  • Criminal Minds
  • CSI: Miami
  • Looney Tunes (the early cartoon years)
  • Law & Order: SVU
  • The First 48
  • Breaking Bad
  • Perry Mason (the black & white days)
  • Twilight Zone (my love for the genius Rod Serling)
  • All my peeps on the Food Network (I could stare at food all day)
  • Modern Family
  • Oh—I’m now one of those people who is deep into Scandal.  Talk about an addicting television show!  My word!  I’ve missed several episodes though and will be forced to get the DVD series, I’m sure.
  • And, of course, last night I had several different channel options to choose from to watch the new Bonnie & Clyde movie.  Who knew it’d be on so many different channels at the exact same time.  Take your pick.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, snuggle on the couch in your comfort clothing with your comfort food while watching your favorite comfort TV shows and movies.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Always make good use of cold days if staying indoors.  Warm weather will be here soon enough—no, not really, more like 4-5 months.  I CAN’T POSSIBLY WAIT THAT LONG!!!

MY HOMIES

I remember when I saw the first episode of Spartacus.  Wow! is all I can say.  The blood, the guts, the heads flying from one side of the arena to the other.  I mean, this isn’t for the faint of heart, you guys.  So be sure that’s your thing before you start watching.  I mean, I didn’t even know something like that was my thing.

It’s crazy what those folks considered entertainment back in the day.  You fought till the death in the arena.  So if you were a fighter and still breathing each day, you were considered pretty darn good because you have to keep fighting until one of you ends up with a gruesome death.  There’s no other way around it.  Those are just the rules.

And I love the storyline, but you’d have to watch the series from Episode 1 to even begin to understand what is going on.

GANNICUS deserves an area all to himself.  All he has to do is stand there and look pretty and all is right with the world.

Gannicus, Gannicus, Gannicus.  What can I say about Gannicus?  I remember when I first saw Gannicus.  It was love at first sight.  I remember it as clear as day—a new top-notch fighter who had never been beaten in the arena, was being introduced for the first time.  And BOY did he make Continue reading “Am I Really The Only Girl Who Watches Spartacus???” →
