New Banner, Nice! and a little bit about Mr. Rogers

Woo Hoo!!!  New Banner!!!

Since I changed the way my blog looks a few weeks ago I've also wanted to change the banner but I'm not very good with that sort of stuff.  So the awesome Frances took it upon herself to work on it on one of the days I was working.  And as you can see, she knows me quite well, being the superhero fan that I am.

(By the way, Frances just started a new blog, check it out.  Also don't forget to check out her Etsy shop.)

Now, to be clear, I am more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan (but due to my blog's title, it was only appropriate to use Marvel characters.  Unfortunately for me too, Batman is not a part of the Marvel Universe, so can't be pictured on it.

For anyone new, so there is no confusion, this blog doesn't focus on comics (my favorite character is Batman) but rather a sort of "A Day in the Life of ...".  On occasion I may blog about a comic or character or (my love of) movies .  The reason that I don't focus on comics is that I'm not an expert.  Nonetheless, all are welcome to be a part of my life.

In other news, I hopped on the scale today and am excited to tell you... I'm at 200.6 lbs.  I'm actually quite happy with that result.  Now, as many know, I never focused on reaching a certain weight but now that I'm there I'm just tying to get to 199.9 lbs being that I don't remember the last time I weighed under 200.  I know it's not much of a challenge but rather the excitement of it.

I'll leave you with this little bit of trivia I learned recently:  Mr. Rogers liked to weigh 143 lbs because it takes 1 letter to say "I", 4 letters to say "Love" and 3 letters to say "You".

Eli Schmeli

Meet Eli, our Betta Fish (who's original name was Levi due to his blue color).

This first week of March we decided to have a day in honor of Eli being with us one year, but Netflix sent us a different movie I requested, and I wasn't able to find a dish I've been wanting for a long time, so plans changed.

Eli's Day was going to consist of having our Sushi Bowl for lunch and "Caldo Siete Mares" (7 Seas Soup) for dinner...

...as well as Frances and me taking a trip to the Newport Aquarium and, finally at the end of the day, watching Finding Nemo.

Maybe next year, buddy, maybe next year (or next week).

Happy Pi Day

Happy Pi Day Everyone and Happy 134th Birthday Albert Einstein.

This is actually the first time we celebrate Pi Day.  I was really hoping to make a pie today but unfortunately I couldn't find the time or the right recipe.  (I did actually find a healthy pie to make but will have to wait until next year.)  I also wanted us to watch a movie about Pi or Pies.  I searched and found out there is actually a movie titled Pi but after watching the trailer found no interest in it.

Instead we decided to watch a more recent movie that came out this week, Life of Pi.  As of this writing, I find this film visually wonderful.

So what about dinner? 

Every Saturday we choose our meals for the week starting for Sunday, the next day.  This past week I didn't choose many items so most of our meals were chosen by Frances.  So when I asked her what dinner was for Thursday the 14th, she stated pizza.  Great choice, Love!

And now, dessert...

Since I didn't make anything I asked Frances that if I would buy some pie what would she like.  She's never had Key Lime Pie, so I bought a store brand pie but nonetheless it was delicious.
