Survivor

Tonight is the new survivor. I have seen every episode since the start of the series. The hubs will only watch with me if there is a water challenge planned, so I will often use this time to stitch. I haven't been stitching a lot over the past few months. I am getting close to the end of a project (except for the dreaded backstitching), and I guess I am losing motivation. The holidays will get me back into stitching shape!

My new favorite side dish

I have often claimed Broccoli as my Dr. Seuss food. I'd eat it raw, cooked, hot, cold, in a house, with a mouse, on a boat, with a goat, you get the idea. I have recently started making broccoli slaw as a side dish, and I can't get enough of it. I was never a fan of cole slaw, so although I have been aware of this product for a while, I only used it to sprinkle in salads. I bit the bullet last month and decided to try it as a slaw and I LUHHHVE it!!! I'll never toss the long stems away again.

Watched Heroes with the hubs last night. I thought it was pretty interesting but the hubs was disappointed. He does not like the way everyone who dies comes back to life. The only thing I did not like was the way Mohinder turned into a slut. I thought he was a nice young man...he deserved to be green and scaly now.

Ummmm...yeah...

So I was all set to watch this last night and come 8 PM, I realized I was a week off. Bummer. Instead, we ended up watching Rome on DVD. I am really disapointed that they cancelled that show. Yes, it was downright butal at times, but I found it interesting and I really liked Pullo and Vorenus. We are still in season 2 (which I think it the last) and I am riveted.

For the past few months, I have been trying to break the habit of watching TV in bed. When we changed from satellite to cable, I purposely did not have the tv in the bedroom set up because I knew I would not be able to resist the temptation. The hubs rented Law and Order DVD's so I could watch those before I fell alseep - at least those had a concrete end. Then I started listening to the Harry Potter books on tape. I have listened to them all before, but I like them, so I put them on when I go to sleep. I rarely get past the first track, so they last a long time, but the hubs is getting tired of listening to the same story over and over.

This post needs no title...meaning I can't come up with a pithy title...

Today will be another lovely lazy day, once I have completed all my chores. I picked out some Christmas designs last night while the hubs and I watched this. Not a great movie but it was fun trying to recall the names of all the people in it. Once my kitchen is back in order, I'll start preparing and measuring my Aida. I haven't determined how many "thingies" I will need, but the most I will be able to make is 10. I may have my first one completely finished by the time this starts tonight!

Welcome to my new blog

Decided to start over with a new blog...

Yesterday I was watching Friends and Scott sat next to me and started laughing. I asked him what was funny, and he replied by saying he had never seen it before, and I said "What, this episode?" and he said "No, this show."

Hard to believe it was on 14 years ago and he's just now catching it. Of course, his favorite was Chandler.

Must go soon, BB9 is almost on.
