Ready for another weekend of canceling your plans to watch the Olympics? Tune in at 3:10 pm ET today to watch the US take on Italy in the women’s ice hockey quarterfinals, then catch NBC’s prime-time coverage to find out if the Quad God took home gold. On Sunday, the bobsled and pair figure skating competitions kick into high gear, plus Team USA will face off against Team Germany in the final men’s ice hockey preliminary-round game. (For more, check out theSkimm’s full Olympic schedule here.)

Missed out on those McDonald’s McNugget Caviar kits? Same. But there’s still time to snag the best Trader Joe’s Valentine’s Day items. And if our valentines are reading this: We expect the final product on that list.

Funerals aren’t usually comedy gold. But How to Get to Heaven From Belfast is the exception. The new Netflix show from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee follows three longtime friends who discover their estranged childhood pal has died under mysterious circumstances. Or so they think. When things take a strange turn at her wake, the trio sets off on a road trip across Ireland to figure out what really happened. Naturally, a hilariously chaotic investigation (think: Knives Out meets Bad Sisters) ensues.
Happy (almost) long weekend. I’m officially entering my mid-30s on Monday, and while society says I should be spiraling, I’m trying to see it as a privilege. So here’s how I’ll ring in the big 3-5:
Spoiling my two golden retrievers, Brady and Lane — which, let’s be honest, happens every weekend. Lately they’ve been obsessed with these glow-in-the-dark balls.
Sipping lots of margs. If I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll try making Ina Garten’s go-to recipe. But more likely, I’ll head to Taqueria El Poblano for the best margarita in the DC area.
