Interesting info though: This will be a better year to watch…no ‘half-dressed cheerleaders’ …. From B/R, BLEACHER REPORT.com, “The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers are two of six teams to not have cheerleaders in the NFL”
2. Ignorance probably is blissful until you discover you’re ignorant
3. Would imagine most people would put me in the “Doc” category of elves...wanting to 'take care of things' and my waistline looks like his. Although in this hormonal suspension, I’m quite Dopey, Grumpy, and Sleepy, too! Lack of hormones brings out the ‘schizo’ side of life.4. Our riding in the car with another couple changes up according to the “length / distance” of said trip…for close-by jaunts, I’m in the front seat with hubby. Longer treks bring about ‘girlfriend discussions’ and ‘guy bonding’ so I go to the back seat of the Expedition. Hubs tends to be a 'type a' so rarely would I be driving with a group. Thanks, Lori at Mountain Woman at Heart, great question! Everyone go say hi to Lori.
5. Beauty is NOT seeing your “hormone-lacking, schizo side” looking back at you in the mirror'
6. Appetizers are my forte for taking to a party…helps me feel less guilty for not piling on tons of calories for my friends.
