A Sad Day for Flamingo

The Famous Featherstone Pink Flamingo Lawn Ornament factory is closing. Thankfully I have my boxed set and it seems that it will be worth more now in the box then in my front lawn.

My cat is crazy. Today she decided that Dora the Explorer was a TV show she wanted to watch. Jerry was watching Bonanza on the Tivo and it stopped. When it flipped back to live TV, Dora was on. Tabitha came flying into the room so she could watch. She was mesmerized. Crazy cat!

Traffic Weekend

Wow...traffic in town is crazy this weekend. Part of it is the Florida/Georgia football game. I have no loyalty to either team so *shrug*. Also the Air Show is this week. I did watch the jets practicing yesterday as I was driving home from work. So cool.

I do have to say that the weather here is perfect. Maybe even a little on the coolish side but over all it is sunny.

Winners and Losers

Losers: Jaguars...they didn't even bother to show up for the game today. They looked terrible.

Winners: Lisa and Mike for completing the Chicago Marathon. Way to go you two. I'm proud and impressed.

In other football news, CMU won again. They are doing great this season. Fire up Chips!

Dishes

How can two people go thru so many dishes. Our dishwasher was slampacked today. The odd part is that Jerry was even gone for 3 days. I guess I'm the guilty party then. *shrug*

Tomorrow my college roommate Lisa and good friend Mike are running the Chicago Marathon. Have fun you two and run like the wind!

Tomorrow I'll be buying new printer cartridges....wheeeeeee

free...

Ok...maybe not free, but I am a "bachelorette" for the next couple of days. Jerry is in Atlanta for a work seminar. Fun Fun....

I took my car to get the driverside mirror replaced. I backed out of our drive and the neighbors tree attacked my car and broke my mirror. Anyway...I went to the dealership at 10am and the service dude told me that they wouldn't even see my car until 1:30pm. So I took the courtesy van home. They service dude said "Go to the mall...shop" but I couldn't imagine spending 4 hours in the mall. I'm not a mall rat at all.

Wow *UPDATE* ...I just..and I mean JUST got a call and nearly $300 later and my car is ready to go. Guess they got my car in sooner then they thought. Now I just have to wait for my ride from the courtesy van. *sigh*

Sunny Day Shoes

Today was absolutely beautiful out. Jerry and I woke up, went and had some lunch and then headed over to the St. Johns Town Center for some shopping. My hairdresser was telling me about these cute Crocs over at Dillards so I wanted to check them out. These are my new Crocs. I bought them in Black. Well, actually Jerry bought them for me. I was wavering back and forth. "Do I need them? I mean..I already have five pair of the Beach Crocs". He snatched them out of my hand and proceeded to the cashier. I can't wait to wear them on Monday.

After Dillards we strolled along the shops ducking in and out of stores at our leisure. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. So much nicer then a traditional mall. Especially on a sunshiny day like today.

A Decade!

♥ To my best friend, my confidant, my silly, the straight man to my jokes, my love, my husband, Happy Anniversary! I love you more and more each and every day. You never cease to amaze me in your tolerance for my antics. Thank you! ♥



...I know...the afterlife is still up for grabs

mmm..Mocha

Just tried the new Splenda Flavor Blends. I have to say that the Mocha was very yummy! Yet another inexpensive way to enjoy some froo froo coffee!

Cake Day

Fridays are what I call....Cake Day. It's the last day of my work week. No school...so therefore..CAKE.

So I hope everyone has a wonderful Cake Day!

TV!

So the new season of TV of course has started. There are many pleasant surprises and some disappointments. Tivo has helped a lot because many of the shows I like are on at the same time. Let me break down what shows I like on each day ....also some shows that just didn't work for me at all.

Sunday:

• Usually Football or HBO series.


• The Wire


• Deadwood (but they cancelled it)


• The Sopranos
• Big Love

Monday:

• The Class (Suprisingly funny)


• How I Met Your Mother (Although I think they "jumped the shark" now that Ted and Robin are together)


• The New Adventures of Old Christine (She make neurotic funny)


• Heros (This is probably one of my new favorites)


• Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (Witty, edgy...You can't go wrong with Aaron Sorkin)

Tuesday:

• Friday Night Lights (I can see myself caring about the characters, they seem like people I know in RL)


• The Unit (I Dennis Haysbert)


• Smith (Interesting...not sure...but I'm watching it)


• Veronica Mars (She's so cute and brilliant...how can you not love her?)


• Eureka(Yay for science fiction shows!)

Wednesday:

• Jericho (I don't really care about these people...why am I Tivo'ing this?)


• Lost (What the heck is the Dharma initiative!!)


• The Nine ( Just watched the Premiere and not sure I get it)


• Project Runway (The only reality show that I can tolerate)

Thursday:

• Happy Hour (So very funny...why did Fox take it off?)


• Til Death (Link not provided because I'm boycotting how many times they schedule the show on Fox. had it on a season pass and after two episodes ... cancelled our season pass. Forced humor...will avoid from now on)


• My Name is Earl (It's all about the Karma


• The Office (The whole cast is great)


• Smallville (hmm...I watch it, but I'm not committed to it)

Friday: Sci-Fi Fridays!!

• Doctor Who (Love it!)


• Battlestar Galatica (Anyone who doesn't watch this must be a frakkin cylon)

Saturdays:

• Hmm...nothing that we really tivo except for the Digitally Remastered Star Trek


• Maybe an College Football game

So yeah...I'm addicted to TV. But with Tivo it's great because we can save shows for days where there is nothing on....wait..what day is that again? Let me know what shows you like or dislike.
