1. I usually write these after dinner on Sunday night, when I can look back over the week and think of joys and frustrations. Last week though, just as we were about to sit down to dinner, my boyfriend said that he thought he should go to the ER. So we spent the rest of the night at the hospital. He had to stay for three more days, but he is back home and feeling better than he has in weeks. There is nothing that makes me happier than that. And since I didn’t get to write anything last week, I’m doubling my gratitudes this week and going for 6 instead of my usual 3.

2. The Kansas City Chiefs just won the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills, so we are going to the SuperBowl again, for the three-peat! Go Chiefs!

3. That blizzard we got a couple of weeks back is melting away. This week the temperatures are supposed to be high 40s and 50s, and we may even get some rain towards the end of the week. That should get rid of a bunch of the snow piles that are left, and we can move on from the freezing temperatures and feel a little more normal as we roll into February.

4. One day after sitting at the hospital all day, I went to the cafeteria to get some dinner, and I found a chocolate pudding parfait. It may not seem like much, but it had been a long day, and that was chocolatey and delicious and I was very grateful for it.

5. Saw a commercial tonight for the new season of Food Network’s Tournament of Champions. I cannot wait for it. I love this show! And they just keep adding more talented chefs and prominent chefs as judges, and I will be there for all of it.

6. We have decided to try out a meal delivery service. We currently have 3 meals from Cook Unity in the fridge (this is not an ad, by the way we got no freebies from them), and I look forward to 3 tasty meals this week that will not take a lot of time to make or clean up after. We have needed a way to eat a little healthier with not much fuss, and I am hoping this will work out well for us. We’ll see. I look forward to trying the meals.
