12 of 12 IV: October 2009

It's 12 of 12 for October - yay! It seems that this is the only reason I update my blog. All I can say it's all because of the new crack called Facebook. Well, here's my day...not overly exciting despite being a holiday. We had to work (no holiday for us- bummer!) so I couldn't take too many shots at work. Some kind of HIPAA violation or something. : )

As always...credit for this fun concept goes to Chad Darnell, click here to see more 12 of 12 participants.

7:30am - Fresh from my Boot Camp Chicks workout and all set to leave for work.

8:30am - My niece Sophia who's seven years old sending me a few instant messages. Oh, to be a kid again and have every holiday off from school. Such the life.


11:00am - The daily AJ's run to satisfy our caffeine kick.

1:30pm - My hubby fresh from his dental appt. Look at those pearly whites!

4:30 pm - Watching Mad Men from the previous night...Love, Love, Love this show!!

5:15pm - I was checking out the registration for The Freaky 5K. Our normal plans for Halloween at my brothers isn't happening this year so my hubby and I are going to do this fun 5K walk/run.

5:30 pm - Random shot of our little patio. Yesterday we walked to our storage unit a few blocks down the road to bring our bikes to the apartment. It's that time to get out and ride.

6:00 pm - Attempting to launch Farm Town on Facebook. Boy, was it slow...

6:15 pm - Finally! My farm it coming along. I had some blueberries to harvest. Cha-Ching!

9:00 pm - Watching the Rachel Zoe Project. Another addictive show. How cool is my pic? I got both Rachel Zoe and Taylor in one shot. Drama, drama! Just gotta love it!

9:30 pm - I'm ending one pic short for this month. My final picture is of the projected weather for this weekend...101? Give me a break! I'm anxious for some 70 and 80 degree temps.

It's been a while....

It's the start of fall with Labor Day holiday behind us, the kiddies back to school and fall TV closing in on us however it is still 100 degrees here in AZ and still feels like summer. However I will take 101 over 115. It doesn't sound like much but trust me there is a difference.

We spent Labor Day weekend on the home front. We watched our nephew Brycen win his first Pop Warner game-- Way to go Nitros! Joe camped out on the couch to take in all that College football had to offer and was so happy to see Notre Dame win their game(this makes for a very happy hubby- yay for me). We ran some errands and took some naps (which were much needed). I watched the Rocker starring Rainn Wilson and Christina Appelgate. I must say I enjoyed watching this much more than I thought I would and found myself laughing out loud.

These long weekends are great because they give me a chance to catch up on some recorded shows like Project Runway, Inside the Actor's Studio, What's Brian Bointano Cooking?, and of course Mad Men.

How great was the opening scene on this weeks episode of "The Arrangements" showing little Sally Draper driving Grandpa Gene's Lincoln!

We scheduled a trip to West Des Moines to visit Joe's family over the Thanksgiving holiday. We got a smokin' deal on airfare. I'm just hoping for some pretty decent weather meaning no snow! This AZ native is a stranger to that kind of weather although we did have snow when I lived in Texas but that was 25 or so year ago. We are super excited for the trip and can't wait to eat at a few of our favortie places and hit the huge scrapbook store....tenderloin sammie and Archivers here we come!

Must watch TV...

The DVR's are super busy now. Here are some of the TV shows we are watching this fall season. Yes, we have no life. After all we do have a wedding in 4 months so it's cheap entertainment for now!

1.

I am lovin' Mad Men on AMC. If you haven't watched it you are truly missing out. I completely forgot that people use to smoke in airplanes and anywhere else they darn well pleased. All the characters have superb storylines that it leaves you craving more.

2. The Big Bang Theory - Gotta love these brainiacs. The episode tonight rocked!

3. Two & a Half Men - Started watching the re-runs over the summer so this is on the DVR list.

4. Project Runway - Love watching who will be aufed.

5. Brothers & Sisters - Sally Fields and Calista Flockart - enough said!

6. Amazing Race - The teams are so entertaining this season.

7. Biggest Loser - Jillian rocks!

8. Pushing Daisies - The first episode this season didn't knock my socks off. Going to give it another shot.

9. Ugly Betty - Always entertaining

10. Grey's Anatomy- Hoping this season is better than last season.

11. Samatha Who?- I can't wait until this comes back next week.

12. Dirty Sexy Money - Guilty pleasure.

13. The Girls Next Door- I know. I just can't help it.

Shows that I'm going to give a try-

1. The Ex-List - 1st episode is recorded but have yet to watch

2. Gary Unmarried - So far it's been pretty funny.

3. The Starter Wife - I love Debra Messing so will see where they take the show.

4. The Real Housewives of Atlanta- I gotta kick out of TRH of the O.C., so why not?

Oh, and has anyone checked out Little Britain USA on HBO? I've seen it a few times and laughed my butt off.
