Time goes fast.....

With keeping up with 3 blogs now I forget my private thoughts one here often. We are a week away from Thanksgiving, amazing. And a month give or take away from Christmas. I am very excited about Christmas this year because of having our apartment in Manhattan. I can not wait to see all the holiday decorating and the energy NYC produces that time of year.

Though I am excited, I am also anxious. I have a minor surgery procedure to deal with on December 7th. I have never really had any type of surgery and I am 47. It is only a polyp in the uterus and d and c but I am still scared. I have only had my tonsils taken out at age 2 and my Wisdom teeth surgically removed at age 17 and 26. So though it is not a big deal it sure is a big deal to me. I am freaking!!

I am taking one day at a time until then trying not to worry. Though as we get closer I am not so sure I will be able to push it out of my mind.

Happy Halloween!!!

New TV Season...........

I hate to admit it, but I was a bit disappointed with the first episodes of season 2 for "The Middle" and "Modern Family" this week. So far though "Vampire Diaries", "Biggest Loser", "How I met your Mother" have been my favorites. I did watch the first episode of "Boardwalk Empire" and I thought it was good enough to watch another couple of episodes to see if I get hooked. I watched "Raising Hope" I thought it was pretty bad, but I will give it 2 more tries. And the "Apprentice" was just like other years, entertaining, but nothing different or great.

I have a lot more taped to watch. So far though...Vampire Diaries and Biggest Losers win for best of the New Fall Season for me. Always love the bad boy Vampire!

TV FALL SCHEDULE RESEARCH TIME!

Went over the new fall schedule to see what new shows are of interest to me to DVR and which old TV shows are coming back. I am ready! I try to have this figured down to a science, but it never fails I get into a show and then it gets cancelled. So I started taping shows and not watching them until a second season is ordered. The only problem it is clogging up my DVR! I have episodes of "The Gates" and "Scoundrels" on my DVR, but I am afraid to watch it and get into it like I did "Eastwick" a story of 3 witches plot after the movie "The Witches of Eastwick" . Another show I got so into was "The Nine" and after the first season they did not even finish the story line boom gone. There is nothing worse than wasting your time getting into a TV show and then it gets cancelled. Time is precious!

Of course I have my old favs coming back.
"Vampire Diaries"
"The Office"
"Desperate Housewives"
"How I met your Mother"
"The Apprentice"
"Biggest Loser"
"Modern Family"
"The Middle"
"Hell's Kitchen"
"Bored to Death"
"Cougar Town"

This alone with my two soaps I tape: All my Children & General Hospital - should fill my time!

I hate not being part of a show that goes big. I lost out on shows like "Boston Legal" "Mad Men" and "Dexter" . I feel if I did not watch it from the beginning it is just to get into it. Though I did watch Boston Legal starting season 3 and got the DVD's and got to be part of that great show. I have season one of Dexter on DVD, but have not watched yet.

So I will be taping many new shows, but the ones I feel may have promise due to what I like and enjoy are the following. "Boardwalk Empire - HBO" , "Outsourced" , "Mike & Molly" , "Detriot 187", "Raising Hope", "The Event", "The Whole Truth" , "The Defenders", "Blue Bloods", "Body of Proof"

I am wondering if I will have any time for life in general after taping and watching shows!

Happy 47th Birthday to me!!

My Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me!!

DAD turns 80!

My dad is turning 80 this week on September 3rd. We had a party for him. Of course he did not want a party and because I am daddy's little girl, my mother put me up to the task to convince him he wanted a party. Dad it will just be a small family and close friend party.....Dad says "OK". Then mom took over and before you knew it over 40 people were invited. Dad walked into the party and says to me "What happen"? I said "Dad, Mom happen"

We had a wonderful day celebrating a man who is TRUELY the BEST DAD in the WORLD! I love you DAD!!
