I know I’m late with today’s post.
To be honest, I had a cram packed full day yesterday and didn’t have time to even think of a topic.
But I’ll put my thinking cap on and try to get us back on track for tomorrow.

Happy Valentine’s Day
Without Valentine’s Day, February would be… well, January. ~Jim Gaffigan
Superbowl
Wow, who would have thought that the Superbowl would be such a blowout?! Peyton is a better QB than that. Once the rout was on, the first play? why bother to keep watching? I’ll tell you why…The Commercials!
Yup they are what I watch for every year. Remember the Darth Vader car commercial? That was the cutest little Darth Vader I’ve ever seen and when his Dad started the car so Darth would think he’d done it… precious!
Budweiser commercials with those gorgeous Clydesdales are always my favorites.
Last year was the one about the foal bonding with the farmer and the reunion after the little horse had all grown up. This year it was horses and puppies. How can you miss with that combination? It’s my favorite from this year.

Ok I admit it. I also laughed at the Bud Light commercial and the Tebow is Back (T-Mobile) commercial. I even chuckled over the Geico commercial with the pig at the registry. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there!
I thought the Muppets commercial was a let down but maybe you disagree.
What’s your favorite?
Will He or Won’t He?
It’s February 2nd and the question on everyone’s mind is…will he or won’t he…see his shadow that is.
According to tradition if it’s cloudy when the ground hog pokes his nose out of his burrow today, he’ll be pleased and go about his business BUT…if he peeks out and it’s sunny, he’ll see his shadow and it will scare him back into his den and with his retreat winter will again close her icy arms around the land for another 6 weeks.
That’s a lot of pressure on a rodent. Let’s face it, no matter what they say in Gobbler’s Notch , PA Punxsutawney Phil is no Mickey Mouse.
If you want to join in the fun remember, statistically the ground hog has only been right 37% of the time. On the other hand, how often are the meteorologists right?
Happy Ground Hog Day. 🙂
So how ’bout that Superbowl?
Moderation
One of my blogging friends recently wrote a post about her annual goals. She goes Birthday to Birthday instead of New Year to New Year. That’s a good idea too that I never even considered. But anyway… this year she chose a word to be her inspiration and guide for the year. She chose a great word…Balance. I’m sure she will enjoy success with a great word like balance. http://learnmoreeveryday.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/another-year-older-a-balancing-act/
If you can find a balance in life or a balance in all things or however you want to think about it, then surely you will have a roadmap for a nice year.
Not wanting to be a total copycat I wondered what would be a word for me if I were to use the same idea. My birthday is right around the corner and although Balance is something I could certainly use I felt another word might be even more appropriate for me. That word is MODERATION.
I go overboard on almost everything I do. Oh my choices and decisions start out good enough. I plot and I plan and then I implement and that’s when everything gets out of hand. I once described my life as feeling like I was on a run away train going 90 miles an hour and all I could do was HANG ON!
I always have more on my plate than I know what to do with.
A perfect example..my blog. I don’t have just one. I have this one which is my main baby, then I have www.dustyroadsphotos.com a companion photoblog, then I have my professional photo web page dustyroadsphotos.zenfolio.com, and my photo card shop, dustyroadsphotos.etsy.com and mustn’t forget flickr.com. Updating all of them takes a lot of time.
Then there’s the posting frequency. I see the traffic drop off dramatically when I miss a day so I set a goal for myself to write a post every day and to post a photo every day. So now I have to try to be creative both in writing and in photography and do it over and over and over again all while working full time and trying to get housework done. Cat hair piles up quickly.
Obviously there’s no moderation in that! 🙂
The other big area that needs moderation is food. Remember the line, I think from the movie Field of Dreams, “If you build it they will come”. Well, in my case it’s “if I cook it I will eat it” and I never mastered the trick of cooking for one. It’s just easier to cook in “bulk”. Of course then it can’t go to waste so it goes to my waist instead.
MODERATION…yup that’s what I need in my life. I guess that will be my word for the year. 🙂
