Fall lineup part 2

So, some of the reviews are in and here is what I think so far:

• Cougartown- eh... it's ok... probably won't DVR it
• Accidentally on Purpose.. decided to not even try it, the previews were ok... I don't think I'm missing anything.
• New Adventures of Old Christine- love of course
• Grey's Anatomy- love of course
• 3 Rivers- net yet shown
• Biggest Loser- they have started to draaaaagggg this show on for too long. So, I've sort of given up.
• The Good Wife- good. I think I will continue to watch it.
• Modern Family- funny! Will continue to watch it.
• Brother's & Sisters- tonight
• The Middle- not yet shown
• Private Practice- not yet shown
• Desperate Housewives- tonight
• Flash Forward- good... but I think I'm cutting it... only because there are only so many hours in a day
• Mercy- good... will continue watching it... I love medical shows... so, go figure

Other random things.

The garage sale went ok. I made over $20 which was my modified goal. We're in a recession... no one was shopping.

I got the flips... but after Wendy's recommendation... so I will have to try hers next time. So far I really like the ones I got... they actually have some arch support!!! The brand is "Rainbow"... I've never heard of them before but there was a kiosk at the mall with a GIGANTIC flip flop that caught my attention. They have like a 10 year guarantee to not fall apart and they are made in Carlsbad... so I thought it was a good deal all around.

Love

I need a good caption for this

Random

Being back at work hasn't been bad. I have plenty of pictures of the dude up at my desk, so I get to see his smiling face all day long. The days are SUPER busy so they fly by... and it's nice to be getting a paycheck again!

Getting excited for fall, although in these parts it's getting warmer instead of cooler... darn it. Supposed to be up in the 100's by Wednesday. YUCK. I want the cool weather please. Maybe October will finally cool off.

Also getting excited for fall tv. It all starts tomorrow... woo hoo.

Today:

• get flips flops that don't fall into the "will wash my car in them" category (so I can wear them to work)
• laundry
• dinner with an old friend, Kevin
• blog
• sort through Mr. Man's clothes that he insists on growing out of
• relax- ha!
• nurse my broken toe- ouch! (see story below)
• get stuff ready for garage sale next Saturday (my goal is to make $100)

Story:

So, when choosing a highchair for Greyson, I didn't opt for any old plastic variety.... nooooo... I just HAD to have the WOOD one that matched my kitchen table (stupid idea). Well... the other day when putting Greyson in his highchair, I dropped the tray on my toe. It took a direct hit and is all black and blue and I'm sure I'll lose the nail. Gross and painful! I look at the bright side... at least I didn't drop the baby. Whew! I can't wear regular shoes yet, because they put too much pressure on the toe (thus the need for "nice" flips) which also means I can't do any power walking or running. Boo.

Sorry I haven't had time to blog during the week... I'm SUPER busy at work and when I get home I am too pooped. Sundays will have to do!

New fall lineup

The are 14... count 'em, 14, shows that I am going to attempt to watch this fall. Is that crazy or what? A few are considered "try-outs" like "Accidentally on Purpose" and "Cougar Town," but some are tried and true like "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives," and "The New Adventures of Old Christine." There are also some that I am pretty sure I will get hooked on like "3 Rivers," "Mercy," and "Flash Forward." I might as well list the last few that I am going to check out... those include:

Biggest Loser

The Good Wife

Modern Family

Brother's & Sisters

The Middle

Private Practice

Good thing I have a DVR!!!

What shows are you guys interested in this Fall?

Go Melanie!!!

This year's US Open has been very exciting. My new favorite player is Melanie Oudin. She's almost 18 and the newest firecracker on the tour. She is AWESOME. If you've seen her play you'll know why I say that. She made it all the way to the quarterfinals this year. Next year, she'll win it!!!

I heart Melanie Oudin.

use the DAMN bike lane!!!

As I'm sure it is the case in the development of most laws and fine print, etc., I believe that the city created a bike lane because those people that ride bikes must've complained loud and hard that they needed a place to ride their bikes alongside cars and next to sidewalks. Well... they got what they asked for SO.WHY.DON'T.THEY.USE.THEM???? Yes, 4 question marks because I am 4 times as confused as the normal person. WTF, Chuck? So there I am, running on the sidewalk... where people should be walking or running... and I have to dodge many a biker ON.THE.SIDEWALK. Look... you have your VERY OWN lane. It's even labeled. USE IT!!! It's SO irritating when there is a bike lane and bikers insist on riding on the sidewalk AND at a million miles an hour AND super close to us runners/walkers... MOVE.OVER... as in INTO YOUR OWN LANE ASSHOLE! I so badly want to hurl a stick into their spokes... but I don't because I really am a nice person. I thought it though.

7 months already?

Seriously? Why not?

Latest project

I finally got around to making this silhouette of Greyson... it was super easy to make. If anyone wants to know how, let me know. I think I will make one of Tony and myself and have them all on the family "picture wall."
