 Shout out to the Cincinnati Bengals!!!


Okay, for the 100th time, you all know that I am not a huge sports nut, but I do enjoy certain teams and I really enjoy the games that are towards the end of the season when they are headed to playoff games or tournaments.

That being said, I have spent the past weekend and Monday night, watching football games! WHAT IN THE WORLD???? Who am I?

You can’t help but be excited about the Cincinnati Bengals…31 years since they have won a playoff game so it is about time. The young coach and the new quarterback have brought some great energy to the team and as a result, to the city that I used to call home.

My friends on Facebook were enjoying every minute of being a crazy fan of a team who is on a winning path! Now, I know the Super Bowl would be amazing, but getting this far feels like the Super Bowl is within reach.

I love when a city is “lit up” with excitement like I know Cincinnati is right now. It’s been a long time coming but it’s also something to be excited about while in the midst of this covid stuff.

We all need something to get excited about. So, I’ll take it…I’ll take a football triumph…right now, it’s all I got!

The Ickey Shuffle made it back to the stadium. (a crazy dance done by former Ickey Woods). The “Who Dey” chants were heard through the TV. The Bengals dominated much of the commentary throughout the day on Sunday. Seemed everyone was a little surprised!!

Next stop, Nashville, where the Bengals will take on the Tennessee Titans. I’m feeling lucky and I know Cincinnati feels it too!! Let’s do this!!!

You may be wondering how I could devote a whole blogpost to a sports team…well, in a roundabout way, I am, but I’m also saying, “let’s get excited about something!” We’ve been in a funk and we need a way out! I know I’ll start to get excited about other things eventually, but I figure one day at a time. I can get excited about a snow day, or a Facetime chat with my grandsons, or maybe a surprise phone call or visit from someone! It really doesn’t have to be anything big…we just need to consider the small things as “exciting” things, right??? 

Today, I had blood work…routine blood work, but it would be nice to see my cholesterol in the acceptable range! Now that’s exciting!!  What are you excited about today????

  I WAS READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP….   Happy Friday Friends! I had planned to send out my blogpost on Wednesday, as part of my “back on track” thing, but the information that I wanted to share was not quite ready. So today, a Special Edition of Martini Musings…just for you!!! As you may know/remember, I had a day of photos and filmmaking a few weeks ago. This video was an all-day production and I really didn’t know for sure how it would turn out or exactly where it would be presented. Yesterday (Thursday), I received the email with the link to a video that will soon be on the AARP Facebook page and website. In addition, there would be an article on the AARP magazine online, with the possibility of the article showing up in the AARP magazine. Because you are the people who have loved me for most of my adult life (some even longer!), I want you to have the first dibs on the viewing. This video is a snippet of my journey and why I joined The Ethel Circle, which is a Faceb...

  I’M BACK…AGAIN! I had this ready to go a couple of weeks ago, trying to get back into my normal Wednesday blogpost, but for some reason, the evening got away from me and my good intentions to get back to “work” on my blog, just went out the window. Let it be known, I’m back. This post will address the “Where have you been?” “Are you okay?” and “I miss you!” comments I have received from some of my beloved followers. My last post was at Christmas time over three months ago. I am so sorry! To say I’m not sure what went wrong would be the truth on some levels but on some levels, I’m pretty sure that it was just a time of being in a FUNK … F ully U nder the spell of N egativity and K erffluffing (causing confusion & disorder)! Yep, I was in a funk. Now those of you who know me, know that FUNKS are not my style! Trust me, I do not like funks and I rarely allow myself to go there. This time was a little different. I actually got into the funk before I even realized it. ...

  Go Baby Go!!! Yep…Derby week is in full swing and tomorrow, Louisville will become THE place to be for three days! If any of you are reading this and will be in the area…Welcome and have a great time!! If you want to have a mint julep, feel free to stop by! My week has been so fun and the events did not disappoint. It all started with Opening Night in the Turf Club at Churchill Downs. It was a beautiful evening with a light breeze. Our driver was very kind, but sadly, her car did not have air conditioning, so we were a little warm heading out to the track. Note to self…be sure to ask that question when scheduling!! After arriving near the gate, we enjoyed the easy ride on the escalator and elevator to the Turf Club where we were seated and greeted and ordered our first cocktails…a mint julep for me!! I have to say, it was a lot of fun and I think that winning a few races helped keep the fun going! Food and drink along with good people, celebrities and excellent people wa...
