So many channels yet nothings on

by

I can’t believe that there was almost nothing on TV Tuesday evening. Yeah there was Dancing with the Stars, and I wouldn’t be surprised if American idol was on too but I don’t watch those shows. I just don’t get anything out of them. Even if I did like them there’d be no way that I could get Chris to watch them!

Heck, he gave up on the Amazing Race on me when the contestants started to get too whiny and he actually likes that show. LOL I don’t even like the show that much when the couples, friends or relatives start bitching at each other a lot.

At least House was on. I taped it, but didn’t get a chance to watch it yet. We watched Monday nights CSI Miami instead.

I didn’t even sort through the new clothes that we bought yet! Man I hope most of them fit. Well … for our budget it’d be better if I only like half of them because we sure spent a lot of money at Winners yesterday afternoon!





Do you have what it takes to seduce a celebrity?

by

Are you a fan of Mirelly Taylor? If so, you could win a date with her in GoFish.com’s Seduce a Celeb contest!

If you’re interested in win a trip, a hotel stay and most of all a date with a beautiful celebrity go on over to Go Fish and watch some Free videos at GoFish.com. Watch Mirelly’s video where she’ll explain what you have to do to enter the contest and then do the three tasks which involves making three different videos and submit them as directed. The contest will run for the next 14 weeks.

That’s all you have to do to enter this interesting contest. By the way, did you know that since the viewing audience is able to fully participate in this online show that this is the first program of it’s kind? Yes there’s some television shows like American Idol where the viewing audience has a say in what’s happening in the show, but for this show audience members who chose to participate become part of the show through their video entries.

Now in case you don’t recognize the name Mirelly Taylor – she’s been seen on shows such as Las Vegas, Punk’d and Numb3rs, as well as in the movies Kiss Me Again and Serving Sara. She’s a rising star.

Whether you enter the contest or not you’ve got to check out the video entries! Some of them are really funny. Of course, if you want to stand out from the crowd you should submit a video that’s creative to say the least.

I think this sounds like a fun contest to enter and to watch. I’m sure there’ll be some great video submissions and I can’t wait to see some of them. Since this is a unique kind of contest it will be interesting to watch how it plays out. I wonder if they’ll have sequels? I hope they do a male celeb next. Yeah, I’m married, but I think Chris would let me go on a date with a celebrity just once.

Settling in the Watch Heroes and 24

by

I’m still not feeling all that well but at least I’m not in quite as much pain as I was yesterday. Yesterday was very bad!

Tonight, Chris and I marinated and grilled some Rainbow trout, and I did my potato veggie grill again. Yes, I’m going to list the recipes sometime soon if any of you are interested. So far the food is sitting ok.

We taped Heroes, 24 and a few other shows on the DVR and we’re just relaxing watching the shows. Is anyone else watching Heroes? It’s the second last show. Actually I think tonights 24 is the second last show too.

Pretty soon all we’ll have will be reruns on TV again … I think this year we’ve had more reruns than new episodes of all the top shows. Kind of sucks doesn’t it.

If I was a horse you’d shoot me …

by

I really wanted to get around to all my Green Thumb Sunday participants today. I wanted to see what’s blooming in their gardens and weed the sites out that haven’t been participating in quite a while. I also wanted to visit some of the sites of people who participate in Photo Hunters and the Do Follow blogroll.

I had hoped to get into my garden for at least an hour to work on pruning and tidying the areas that I haven’t touched yet.

Most important of all I wanted and needed to redesign the theme for this blog – I’m tired of it, and I need to redesign it so I can put some ads up for the new network that I’ve been accepted into (my big deal!!), and to top it all off I wanted to re-design my husbands blog Guitar Licks too because it’s theme totally sucks and I’ve got a really cool theme to use for that site.

Forget mothers day. I’m not a mom. Chris’ family never got it together to do anything for his mom this weekend either so our Sunday was supposed to be free … for me to work …

I wasn’t able to do any of that today.

I think whatever my husbands been fighting since Friday got to me. Except since I have Crohn’s disease it hit my stomach hard and I’ve been in awful pain all day. Not to mention almost constantly feverish.

I feel horrid. I wasn’t able to eat much either. I tried to eat dinner but my abdomen really started to hurt once I got a bit of food down and I had to stop. I hope I’m not going into yet another flare. I’ve already been in a constant flare for more than two years – I don’t need it to peak again.

I’m so sick of this. I can’t make any plans. I can’t even rely on the small plans I make for myself because it always depends on how I’m feeling. This makes me feel useless.

I want to go to a big blogging convention in Las Vegas in November and I’m being asked already if I’m going and, honestly, I can’t say. All I can say is that I want to go. For all I know I’ll either be so sick I’ll be in the hospital at that time, or I might be feeling healthy for the first time in two years. I just don’t know.

Instead, on days like today I’m just lying on the couch, grimacing in pain. Watching TV to try to take my mind off of the hell my body is putting me through. At least I had the Survivor finale to watch this evening. Good going Earl!

If life’s a race I’m falling behind … and If I were a race horse people would be thinking about putting me down about now.

Did you see the Colbert show on Thursday?

by

Ok this is a really bad video – not mine! I was watching the Steven Colbert show on Thursday night and his guest ended up being Jane Fonda. Instead of sitting across the tablef from him like all his other guest normally do, she sat in his lap, kissed him several times and got him totally flustered! It was hilarious!

What’d you think?
