Wow Wednesday

August 20th, 2008

A little bit of random good news around here today…

** Griff did well again today in school. Good on the stairs. Good recognizing the college kid who’s picking him up several days a week.

** My supervisor gave me my numbers today, and they were better. Woohoo! Now, they aren’t as high as I’d like them to be, but they’re getting better, and that’s what I’m going for, after all. I am now a 3.68 on a 1-5 scale. Yay, me!

** I did 1,600 spins on the Wii Fit Hula Hoop today. I kick hula tush. I even met my piddly little Wii Fit two-week goal a week early.

** We’re going to church on Sunday! Now, we have no idea where we’re going, but by gum, we’re going.

** Tonight, Project Runway is designing for drag queens. I mean, seriously, how fun is that?!

Wordless Wednesday - Watch out Project Runway

July 30th, 2008

She cut her own hair and now she’s making her own clothes. Clearly, she has a creative future.

She took a huge Target bag and a pair of kiddie scissors and made herself a dress.

The back view. Cute, huh?

Can I tell you what a proud mama I’d be in years and years if she was on Project Runway? I’d SO have to go visit so I could meet Tim Gunn.

Cable Confessions

July 10th, 2008

Yesterday, I wrote about how I love tv. I failed to mention that I also love cable. Or that I think cable is a basic utility like water and electricity. Or how I cannot imagine life without a dvr.

That would probably explain why so much of my viewing is on cable, especially in the summertime. Who doesn’t love that cable shows new shows in the vast tv wasteland that is summertime?! This week and next are the big summertime series openers, and I’m all excited. Here’s what we’ll be watching at Chez Chel in the next few weeks.

Tonight, “Burn Notice” begins its second season (in about seven minutes, to be exact). I didn’t watch it last summer, but USA put it on one day a week or so ago as a marathon, and Mike and I have been watching all week getting ready for tonight’s episode.

Next Wednesday, “Project Runway” starts its fifth season. I adore this show. Seriously. And I love that so many people at work watch it, too, so we get to discuss it the next day. It airs at 10 p.m. (EST) on Bravo.

And next Friday, oh, next Friday. It’s the “Monk”/”Psych” night. Griff’s excited about that one, too. For those of you who don’t know, Monk’s amazing and funny and fun and delightful. And Psych makes me laugh so hard I think I’ll spit Diet Coke. USA scored with that combination. And you know, right, that the cutie patootie who plays Gus also played Bud on “The Cosby Show?” How could you not like that?

So, with those shows and all of the Astros games, we’re pretty booked.
