Saturday afternoon I then ventured further into Warwick and ended up having a Guinness at Halligan's. As I was enjoying the well poured pint, it dawned on me I really haven't been in downtown Warwick since prepandemic. WOW. I honestly forgot how much fun you can have in downtown Warwick. There are always several options for yummy food, beverage and fun.

Saturday night was a quiet night in, trying to rest up for The Super Bowl.

Sunday morning I woke up way too early, had breakfast and rolled back to bed. I think I was up from 4-6am trying to sleep to Super Bowl previews on NFL Network. Fun right? LOL. I'll totally admit that I used it as an excuse to be lazy and wait out for the snow to melt so I wouldn't have to shovel or brush too much off of my Jeep Compass. Sunday afternoon I tried retail therapy but it didn't quite line up the way I wanted. I tried both TJ Maxx in West Milford, NJ, then TJ Maxx in Middletown, NY. Struck out both times looking for a pair of light denim jeans. All good. I'll keep on trying them and other options. I find that my rule of thumb with TJ or Marshall's is that 2 out of 3 times you'll come home empty handed, but that third time boom!

(I'm probably the only person ever to end a sentence with the word "boom," whilst talking about TJ Maxx and Marshalls. lol)

My favorite commercial was The Soprano's Chevy commercial! You want to talk funny. I've been mentioning how after football season ending I have been planning on trying to binge watch The Soprano's. Growing up in New England and not having HBO, I haven't seen an episode. I've been watching tons of clips from the show. Ironically, the guy who hasn't seen an episode, hushed up the whole Super Bowl party in Vernon, New Jersey because I immediately recognized The Soprano's theme song. I also have had a little crush on Jamie Lynn for over 20 years or so. It was such a touching tribute to the late James Gandolfini, you can see Jamie tearing up while hugging her TV brother. You know where both of their hearts were. You can see it by clicking here. While researching The Soprano's, I learned that James Gandolfini would call both of the kids managers/agents up to make sure they were doing well and not spending too much of their money. He would also order the managers to not tell them that he was calling to check up on them, making sure they were okay.

My biggest regret this year? NOT betting on the freakin game. I successfully predicted many things about the game. Although I was wrong predicting that if it was close, Cincy would win, but if not close LA Rams would win. Rams won 23-20 of course. I got the coin toss right, predicted the Odel Beckham Jr touchdown, Cooper Kupp touchdown, Cooper being player of the game, etc. All things I could and should have made money on! Ugh ah well. Still great game with terrific halftime show. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE HALFTIME SHOW!!! I was screaming at the tv with my friends singing along to every song loving every minute of it. Success.

Thank you for taking the time to read my Epic Weekend In Pictures. Time to start planning next weekend when my parents return to Jersey!
