A Good Time Ahead

There’s a lot happening this weekend.

It’s been a year (is that all?) with our current president. I’m with the majority of Americans, embarrassed by and weary of him. The news is full of analysis of his time in office, and it’s a little overwhelming. Enough said on my part.

On the exciting side of things (for some of us, at least), the NFL playoffs are this weekend, and my beloved Vikings are on fire. Could last Sunday’s game be any more exciting? I knew it was a good match — New Orleans is an incredible team — and I believed, right up to the final seconds, the Vikes would win. And indeed, it was during those final ten seconds when they pulled it off.

I don’t expect the same kind of excitement this Sunday, but I hope for a good game (ultimately defined by who wins).

I’m waiting for some news that could change so much for me, but more on that when it actually happens.

And, Sunday is my birthday!! Not only is it MY birthday, but two of my co-workers are due any day now. I’ve become friends with one of them, and would love it if her son was born on Sunday.

I haven’t been a good blogger lately. Other things have been pulling at my time, and by the time I get to my blog, I’m spent. I’ve missed out on so many of your posts as well, and I apologize. I hope to catch up soon.

Here’s to the coming weekend. Oh, I forgot, I get my hair trimmed tomorrow — always a good feeling. It’s going to be a good couple of days.

Go Vikings!

    1. The Saints are a good team, and the game wouldn’t have been half as exciting if they weren’t. But the Vikings have been on the other side of plays like that for so long, it was good to see them win. And thank you for the birthday wishes!!

      1. You know, I don’t even like football–I don’t understand it! But NOLA is 3 hours away so everyone here cheers for the Saints. I even check to score in the newspaper! 🙂 Now, I’ll be watching the Vikings and cheering them on.

  4. I’m excited for you, Belinda. No worries about being a good blogger. I think pressure never really helps and for me – it’s been a long break. Of course, I remind myself that I didn’t write for decades and my stretch now is about 4 months.
    Just this morning I wrote and that felt so great.
    Thanks for sharing your life. I love hearing updates and am wishing you a very Happy Birthday!
