You Read It Here First

 

We don't often have celebrity news in Buttercupland. Not that we're (totally) uninterested, but there are a million other places where that's all they write about. But in October 2023, almost three years ago, I did a post predicting that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would one day get married. I had visited Kansas City and took an interest in Travis Kelce and the romance that was just starting to be an "item." Here's a link to my very on the money prediction. 

Sadly, although I live three miles from the venue, have a very nice dress worn to several weddings that photographs nicely and I was a very early booster of the match, I am not invited. Madison Square Garden holds approximately 20,000 people. Surely there's room for one local influencer. 

If my dress doesn't meet the dress code, I can zip to Macy's and see what I can find and I will not try to smuggle in my phone and snap pictures. I proved I can adhere to a no-photography rule at Alnwick Castle and I was very tempted. Please, Taylor.

It is tempting to take a quick subway trip, seven stops on the local line, and see what's going on at the Garden, even without an invitation. But it's 96 degrees now and tomorrow and Friday are predicted to be 99. I will rely on those professional celebrity sites to keep me up to date. 

Today was a quick zip to the grocery and the bank and an iced coffee while I was out. I'm keeping it cool.  I had several ideas for the Fourth weekend, but, alas, the weather may be keeping indoors,

As ever, thanks for visiting and keep cool.  

All You Need Is Love and KC Football

 

I'm not the biggest fan of professional football. Actually I'd pretty much stopped following it when the Giants fell off the Superbowl radar. But that changed when I went to Kansas City in the fall. Though I haven't stopped hoping for a Giants resurgence, I kind of/sort of shifted my allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs-abilia was everywhere and pictures of Travis Kelce and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were everywhere I turned. Though their relationship was in its early phases I predicted that it would go the distance.  

Three months have gone by since I made that bold prediction. In not quite two weeks the Chiefs are going to the Superbowl and Taylor and Travis are still together. I'm still predicting that this golden couple will get married after the Chiefs win the Superbowl. Just remember, you read it here first. 

From the (blurry) Buttercupland Archives 

Back in 2014 I got to meet Justin Tuck, former defensive end for the Giants. It was part of a blogging promotion sponsored by our local drugstore chain. Amazingly ten years have gone by. The Giants haven't been in a Super Bowl, Justin Tuck has retired, but Buttercup keeps happily chugging on in Blogland.  

In non-sports news, it's cold, but not icy and there's been lots of walking on my schedule. I've been remiss on posting about my 2023 Journey of 1000 Miles, so that will be my next post. It was a good walking year and I'm hopeful that 2024 will be equally energetic.   

Thanks for all the good wishes on the Buttercupland Blogaversary. Much appreciated! 

As ever, thanks for visiting. Keep cozy and take good care.
