hey, it's better than drugs...

Well, if you're wondering about the title, let me explain... see, everything I watch these days is on Tivo. I don't watch anything live. It drives me crazy to watch commericals when I don't have to! So, even if I'm here during the show, I'll do something else for a little bit until I can start the show and just run through all the commercials. Sad, I know, but it's an addiction.

But, my addiction is slowly taking over other areas of my life. One of my favorite things about Tivo is that no matter what I'm watching, I can pause and rewind it any time I want. Yes, I am in control. Unfortunately, though, I am only in control of my TV. When I missed info on the radio yesterday, I for a split second thought to rewind it. But, XM sadly is not Tivo. And, when both George and I missed something on TV this weekend at the Inn, I immediately wanted to rewind it and get the full story. But, again, no Tivo.

But, the worst had to have been later Saturday night, when I handled a conversation horribly. For a minute, yes, it crossed my mind that there were no problems-- I would just Tivo it and try the convo again. And of course, there is no such thing as Tivo for life.

But, I think there should be. Because I've decided-- life is way too complicated to not get do overs.

Anyway, overall I had a fabulous and relaxing weekend in the Outer Banks. sooo nice to get away. But, unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. so, back to work tomorrow...

too many Us magazines...

ok I was trying to find a downloadable version of this for steph somewhere unsuccessfully, so here's a viewable version instead. if you missed this when it aired, here it is in all its glory... ashton kutcher as KFed on SNL :Þ (yeah it's months later and I have no idea why, but I am STILL laughing!!!)

Pennsylvania in the news...

okay okay, you all know I am DEFINITELY a Philly fan... but, with the Pittsburgh boyfriend and all, I must say I partially converted for a few months. It was kind of sad, really. I waved a Terrible Towel and listened to frighteningly odd (but hysterical) songs to the tune of old random songs... (Mahna Mahna anyone?) But, it was a good time. And George had such a great time watching all the games that it was just impossible not to enjoy myself. So, congrats to all the Steelers fans who have wanted "one for the thumb" for all these years. well done.

on other random notes-- is it me or were the Rolling Stones terrible! seriously! They are so OLD! and playing new tracks to promote a new album duing the SUPER BOWL? definitely thought that was a little tacky. I also didn't think the commercials were up to par... what was with that Hummer one?! BUT-- LOVED the magic fridge and the streaking sheep!!! gotta love Super Sunday (and the Monday Morning water cooler chats)...

Well, after the crazy weekend, I sat down to watch one of my favorite weekly shows-- Wife Swap. And, I must say, as soon as they said the woman was from PA and I saw her, I knew she had to be from Bucks County. and yes, I was right... she was representing Northampton Township, and I must say she didn't do it very well. But, it was still fun to see my hometown(ship) on TV. makes me a little homesick. can't believe they made her switch with a Christian farm woman from Tennessee with 8 kids though... ahhh great TV :Þ

ok off to relax. hope everyone has a good week!
