Checking out some of this weeks new TV shows

by

My husband and I are home tonight – after eating a big, homemade dinner, we’re now furiously trying to catch up on many of the new and returning TV shows that have been playing this week.

We just finished watching The Event. I have to say I wasn’t all that intrigued by the show. It kind of reminded me of last years Flash Forward – a show that I really liked … but not as good. Maybe I’ll like the next episode better.

Now we’re watching Criminal Minds. We both really enjoy this show. I almost wish this show was on year round. So far the first episode is living up to my expectations.

Our PVR is pretty full so we’re speeding through the commercials and trying to watch as many shows as we can tonight. I think we’ll be watching TV until midnight tonight.

When we finally give up on watching TV I’m starting a new skin care routine .. well I sort of started it last night with an at home facial. I’m going back to deep cleaning my skin at night and then putting on a face cream before bed. Gotta take care of my skin.

Anyway .. are you watching some of the new TV shows this week? Which ones have you watched? Do you like any of them?





Where the heck is my husband

by

Sigh … I’m still waiting for my husband to come home. He’s been out of town all day. It’s just about 10:30 and he should be home by now.

In an earlier post I mentioned that I’m taping all the returning TV shows on our PVR this week and well … it’s filling up quickly! It’s almost at 80% right now. This is not good.

I did try to watch a few shows that I didn’t think he’d be interested in watching, but I’ve run out of those now.

While I’ve been waiting for him to return I went up stairs and took care of my skin. I gave myself a facial – i did a facial mask and a deep moisturizing cleanser and then followed it up with under eye cream and moisturizer.

I’m all set for the night … I just need my husband to get home. Where the heck is he?

On my own for the day

by

My husband is out of town today. Normally he has Monday’s off, but this week, he changed shifts with someone at work and he ended up having today off.

As it happens that worked out well for him, because on Sunday evening we found out that a close friend of ours father had passed away. The visitation and funeral is out of town … in my husbands home town, so early this morning he got his things together and drove out of town for the day.

I didn’t go with him because I haven’t been feeling very well for the last week or so. I’ve had awful abdominal pain .. maybe yet another Crohn’s flare. Although oddly enough I’m feeling a little bit better today (hopefully that continues!). He went early so that he could see his parents and he had to go over to his aunts. We’re storing our pop up trailer on her property and she didn’t like where it was parked so he had to move it to the back of her yard.

Anyway … because of all the phone calls last night making arrangements for todays trip our PVR is pretty full! All the new and returning TV shows started again last night and we didn’t get a chance to watch very many of the ones we taped. We only watched House, Chuck and Weeds (from Sunday night). Tonight I’m taping a bunch of shows and I don’t think my husband will be home until 10:30 or later. I’ll probably watch a few shows that I don’t think he’ll be that interested in … but I think our PVR will be at about 90% by the time he gets home! LOL So early in the TV season and it will already be full. Oh boy.

So I guess tonight I’m eating alone, walking the dog on my own, and spending most of the evening on my own too. Sigh … Oh well .. at least this trip out of town should cut out the trip we were planning for this coming weekend to take care of the trailer.

When Chris does get home I’m going to try some acnepril. I’ve been breaking out lately so I figure this is worth a try. I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks if it’s helping.

Ok … off to feed the dog!

Do you read before bed or go right to sleep?

by

I imagine that I’m not the only person in the world who can’t get to sleep unless they read a book before going to bed. Ok I don’t mean a whole book – but at least a few pages before dozing off.

Are you like that? Or are you more like my husband – a person who falls asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow and if you’re not asleep within seconds you think there’s something wrong? That’s the way my husband is, anyway! I keep telling him that it apparently takes the average person 7 to 10 minutes to fall asleep when they go to bed, but if he doesn’t fall asleep within a minute or so he’s up and he thinks he has insomnia.

Me on the other had – the only time I can’t sleep (for the most part) is if I don’t have something to read before bed. If I try to go to sleep without reading I just toss and turn and lie awake for hours. Whereas if I pull out a good book – preferably a murder mystery or a horror story I can be falling asleep within a few page turns. I guess you could say reading is my sleeping pill. It’s definitely a sleep aid.

Needless to say I’m always looking around for book bargains, checking out Amazon books for new listings or to see what the tops sellers are etc.

I actually bought a Kindle in May and I stocked up on public domain books and free or “inexpensive” ebooks, so my reading list is full for a while … well … unless I see a good deal on a book from one of my favorite authors I suppose.

A girls weekend

by

Since I’m on my own this weekend I think I’ve come up with a plan to keep me busy and put some fun in my weekend.

I’m going to call up a few of my friends and see if they’d like to get together for a girls day and maybe night out.

We’ve always talked about getting together and hitting a spa – maybe for facials. I think tomorrow would be a great day to do something like that, provided we can get appointments, that is. Then, maybe a trip to Yorkville to wander through some of the high end shops.

I can’t really afford to buy any of the items that I might see in Yorkville, but I do like looking at the designer clothes and Prada handbags and other fancy items.

Then, depending upon how much free times my friends have, maybe we’ll go out for dinner and then go to a dance club.

We haven’t gotten together for a girls day and or night for quite a while so I’m pretty sure my friends will be interested. I’d better stop writing and get on the phone to see if they’re free tomorrow!

Now I feel better – hopefully this will work out and my weekend will end up being fantastic.

What are your plans for the weekend?
