My TV Shows Are Singing To Me...

My all-time favorite TV show.

Only watched a couple of episodes of this show since it was short-lived. The music lives on though, at least for NG and me. He spins this soundtrack every weekend.

My favorite Mom/Daughter tandem.

This show had two theme songs, I forgot which came first. Both are great songs in my book though. I fell in love with Ed Stevens in this show. Sigh.

Aliens? Sure, why not? I remember they loved Tabasco sauce. This show lasted for 3 seasons. I don't remember how it ended. My memory is bad.

This is the only CSI that I watch, I am behind a season or two though. Grissom is leaving [or already left] this season [9th, if I remember it right]. He will be missed.

I grew up and lost interest in this show after 3 seasons. Lex Luthor is a hottie.

I soooo need to catch up on this show. The 8th season just started and I still have to watch seasons 5-7. This show is not only funny but they have cool songs, I'm like one degree from Zach Braff since I met Joshua Radin last year. Whee.

I watched the first two seasons of this show. I'm kinda over the teeny-bopper shows me thinks. I'm getting old.

The Notebook...

Whenever this movie is on, I can't help but watch it. It's been showing on ABC Family and each time I see that it's on, I have to stay on that channel and watch it. I love this movie. I love the book. I love it. Period. I just do.

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday." [Noah Calhoun]

A few days ago, we had the furnace checked because the flame of the pilot light went out again. The guy who looked at it found cracks on two of the burners/heat exchangers, over time it'll result to Carbon Monoxide emissions. Bottom line, it needs to be replaced. It's an old furnace, made in 1977. We're looking at around 3k++ to have it replaced. It is NOT cheap. NG will have other heating companies come over to give us options, just to compare the prices and get the best deal. Being a home owner is not fun in times like this. Not fun at all.

I made my first grilled cheese sandwich for brunch today, NG liked it, I liked it. I got the recipe from Betty Crocker. I love cheese. I will surely make that again soon. Pepperjack and Monterey Jack cheese. I'm loving it.

MajorDad just sent me an email if we have plans for NG's birthday, I replied saying, we'll either have lunch or dinner with him. I lovelike my father in-law and I think, it's safe to say that he likes me too. I get more emails than NG from his dad as it turns out. I told NG, that's because he doesn't reply to his emails. Hee. I can write an 18-page email [front and back..hee] and still have more to say. I am not that way in person, but when it comes to emails, I can be talkie IF I want to. MajorDad's birthday is on February 12th, he told me last year that we could celebrate our birthdays together when he found out that mine is a few days after his. We're all Aquarians. NG, MajorDad and me. I'm not knowledgeable about Astrology but it seems good from our end.

Keeping the faith. It may be tough once in a while but we just have to as much as we can. Have a good one. God Bless.

COOLNESS...

I stumbled upon Live From Daryl's House a few days ago. It's the website of Daryl Hall. I'm not a big fan of Hall & Oates but I liked some of their songs that were played on 103.5 K-lite YEARS ago. I think, I just became a fan of Daryl because of this website. Each month, he invites a musician/band to jam in his home, you have to visit the site and watch the shows for the experience. So far, he's got 15 episodes. I've watched most of the episodes and even if you don't know the artist or not familiar with the songs, you just have to listen to it because Daryl and his band is just good. Go check it out when you have the time and let me know what you think. My favorite episodes are with: Kevin Rudolf, Company of Thieves, KT Tunstall. Have a good weekend. God Bless.

Worth Sharing...

* MajorDad forwarded this to me and I thought I'd share it with you too. Have a good day and God Bless.

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It
is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about
what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My
purpose is to__________ today. I am thankful for______________'

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that
is manufactured in plants.

5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan
salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts.

6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues
of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead
invest your energy in the positive present moment.

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
college kid with a maxed out charge card.

9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument.
Agree to disagree.

13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their
journey is all about.

15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years,
will this matter?'

17. Forgive everyone for everything.

19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends
will. Stay in touch!!!

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I
am thankful for__________. Today I accomplished_________.

You'll be smiling before you know it.
