I'm so sorry to read of Marni's passing. The loss of someone so young and vital is tragic. {{ita}}
Looking forward to the House season. I've never watched the show live. I'm thinking I'll have to tape and watch this season too. Local television is just one nasty political ad after another. It ruins the experience completely. Maybe I'll be able to watch after elections are over. Beer and furniture ads are easier to ignore.
ION, I'm having a gathering with food tomorrow and I haven't done anything to prepare. Guess I should get on with that....
It's too bad you are TJless, Laura. You could do what I did for the Zmayhem baby shower, and let them do the "cooking". Their carmelized onions and feta in phyllo dough are really good.
With House starting a new season this week, thus starts the running of multiple VCRs here, which will end up with three of them running at the same time once the Law & Orders start up. It's bad enough that there's a show pile up, but why'd it have to be on the night I'm out every week?
My deepest sympathies, ita.
It's too bad you are TJless
Is this even in English? TJ-less? Tee-jay-less? It's like oxygen-less, not really a concept that I understand.
Here is how you know I watch too much Food Network (and I haven't even been watching it that much since I got Real Cable!!): I randomly turned on some bartender competition show, and recognized one of the competitors.
Sheryl, you should just give in and get a TiVo, truly. They come with dual tuners now, so you'd be able to get rid of a couple VCRs, it sounds like. You can't argue (well) with efficiency!
I have to say, I got a trial month of DVR when I moved and it's going to be hard to give it up.
I have to pick clothes for the funeral tomorrow. I haven't been to a funeral for fifteen or twenty pounds. Sure, I have lots of black, but it's about tone.
I considered shopping today, but honestly, I shouldn't. I love new things, but shopping would have stressed me out. Anyway, had a migraine and just lay limply around instead.
Now I have to decide--tank top sweater with skirt with gentle ruffles, or spaghetti strap tiered dress with cardigan over.
For starters. There is also the wide-legged knit pants with the close T-shirt.
I should go check tonight. My ride is coming at 8am tomorrow. But I don't want to accept physically that I'm going to a funeral, so I'm lying here in the living room instead, pretending that tomorrow morning isn't going to rip me to shreds, and publicly. Pretending that it's not going to rip to even finer shreds people I care for and respect greatly.
This hurts. I hate the silence.
I'm so sorry, ita. I wish there was something that I could say or do to make it a little bit better.
