Happy Valentine's Day!!

Just a little post to say:
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I hope each of you have a lovely day today! Whether you are giving a Valentine's kiss to your spouse, your child, a loving parent, or a beloved pet, I hope you all have great day and celebrate the love in your life. I am grateful for my son as my Valentine -- even though he has a nice young lady now who is HIS Valentine! :\
Well then... Hey, I will celebrate the inanimate love of my life: my television! (Oh, and my laptop too...) LOL!!! ;)

Best,
Gloria

Super Bowl XLVI - Go Giants!!!
New York Giants: 21 ~~~ New England Patriots: 17

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NY GIANTS!

Although I am a born and bred New Yorker, and I certainly am happy the Giants won, I DO feel badly for the Patriots, especially since I am in Connecticut now!
BUT, a plus for me with the Giants win is that my son and I made a bet: He chose the Patriots to win, so then I took the Giants. Whomever won the bet would get the other person to be their 'servant' for a day.. Ahhhhhhh... looks like I will be having a nice day in the near future.
Thank you, Giants! ;)

REVENGE Repeat!

Just a short post to say: I'm sorry! If any of you watched "REVENGE" tonight (Wed), after catching up on the shows online at ABC.com, and saw it was a repeat, I hope you are not mad at me! I did NOT know it would be a repeated episode! I mistakenly thought last week they said it was going to be a new show tonight.
They DID say tonight that next week (Wed., Feb. 8) will be a "NEW" show. Do you believe me? Well, if you don't trust me, I don't blame you... :(
My apologies!!
Best,
Gloria
