Getting ready for our new TV

by

I’m crossing my fingers and knocking on wood in the hopes that my cold is getting a little bit better. I was totally miserable yesterday … and I guess I’m not much better today, but the runny nose is slowing down, so hopefully that’s a sign that my cold is beginning to get better.

I have a lot to do this weekend, so I hope that I feel at least a bit better by tomorrow. You see we’re hoping that the new TV that we bought two weeks ago is finally at the store so that we can pick it up. I’m so looking forward to checking it out and getting it all hooked up to the new home theater that we bought last weekend.

Plus, last weekend we started to do some small renovations to our living room .. ie finally re-hooking up two electrical outlets that we hadn’t hooked up the last time we did renovations to our living room dining room.

We were going to rearrange the furniture in the living room in preparation for the new TV last weekend, but that’s when I started getting sick so we put that on hold. So tomorrow we might be picking up our new TV, rearranging the room and then fiddling with hooking everything up. I expect to be busy for hours! We also have to remember to get some new air filters for the furnace … It’s time to put new ones in!

Darn … my husband is just talking to the guy from Best Buy right now and our Samsung Plasma is NOT in. It might be two more weeks! Crap! Ok now I’m ticked!

At least the sales guy from Best Buy is working with us … he’s going to give us another $100 off the TV (we’ve already got $200 off it!) or 50% off on a new TV stand. Our current stand is specially built for our DLP so I do think we need a new stand … we’ll see. Sigh





George Costanza – a spokesperson?

by

Ha, I just heard that Jason Alexander is going to be the new spokesperson for jenny craig. Good for him!

I tend to stay up late at night – due to my Crohn’s pain for the most part, and as you probably know there isn’t much on TV late at night … so I often end up watching old reruns of Seinfeld and other old sitcoms. So I see a lot of the old “George”. Plus I did manage to catch one of the Curb Your Enthusiasm Seinfeld reunion shows and yes … Good ol’ George has gained some weight.

It’ll be nice to see if in a year or so if he’s all slimmed down. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him slim, Have you?

A quiet New Year’s eve and start to the year

Happy New Year!

I just realized that I didn’t write a New Years post to thank my regular readers and visitors for visiting this blog in 2009! Thank you for sticking around and leaving comments and being faithful visitors. I hope that my posts continue to entertain you in 2010.

So how did you celebrate New Years?

My husband and I had a quite evening. We’d had three rounds of guests in our house from the 20th of December through to the 31st and a family wedding, so once the last of our guests were safely on an airplane home we went into relaxation mode.

We had a nice dinner on New Years eve, followed much later by a glass of wine and a piece of Chocolate Fudge cheesecake at Midnight on New Years. During the evening we watched two movies that I’d taped earlier and then caught the tail end of Toronto’s New Years eve televised celebration just in time for the count down to midnight.

We spent Saturday and most of Sunday relaxing. I think we’re finally rested up and recovered from the holidays or at least I hope we are!

We hadn’t been planning to do anything over the weekend at all, but late yesterday afternoon we ran into one of our neighbors and they invited us in to have a drink for New Years and to see their latest renovations. They’d just finished redoing their kitchen and man, am I jealous! It’s beautiful and oh, they put in double copper sinks! I love the look of them! It seems like our neighbors are starting off the new year just right.

So … what did you do for New Years? Did you get together with friends and family or did you just have a quiet evening at home?

My dog is a nut!

by

My dog is a nut … I’m sure that any other Labrador Retriever owners out there feel the same about their precious pet.

I’m biased, but I think she’s really smart .. smart enough to purposely ignore us when we tell her something, yet completely understand if there’s a food treat involved. LOL Midnight even knows how to lie! When she was a puppy she’d fake pee, crouching down on the ground in a pee making position so that we’d think she went .. yet she didn’t realize she was on snow and that we’d see that there was nothing beneath her. I’m sure she just did that for a trip outside.

Last week, when I was upstairs having a shower our Lab came up for a visit. She’s only recently been permitted to come upstairs so it’s a big deal for her. I guess I didn’t close the bathroom door fully (hey it was just me and her in the house) so she pushed the door open and the next thing I knew there as a dog head pushing the shower curtains aside to see what I was up to in there.

After a moment or two of watching the “rain” come down on me, she decided to jump into the tub! Yeah, I had a dog in the shower with me. It was a little weird, but I didn’t mind all that much.

Since she was in the shower I thought about giving her a bath, after all, I was dressed for it! However, she stayed near the end of the bathtub, away from the shower water. Did I tell you that while she loves swimming and water in general, she doesn’t seem to like rain? So we nixed the doggy bath idea.

It took me a few minutes to get her out of the bath/shower once I was done. I think she’s a little nervous to jump over the side of the tub. Once she did jump out she slipped on the tile flooring a bit, since her feet were wet. Just that alone might be enough to discourage her from visiting me in the shower again as she got a little scared when she slipped and once she’s scared of something she avoids it. Luckily she hasn’t encountered much that’s scared her.

Do you have a silly dog? Has your dog ever jumped into the shower or bath with you? If so, what did you do?

I need a TV in the bedroom

by

Do you ever feel so crappy that you just want to stay in bed? I feel that way a lot thanks to my Crohn’s and this strange tiredness that’s come over me in the last couple of weeks.

I’ve been thinking about it, and since we have an extra TV upstairs,, why not set it up so that I could actually stay in bed occasionally when I want to? All we need is a TV wall mount and we’d be all set. Yeah .. we don’t even have the TV set up … but if we got the wall mount and maybe put the TV on the wall across from the bed it would be great.

Not that I like watching day time TV though … LOL I guess we’d need to set up a DVD player too.

Do you have a TV in your bedroom?
