Meme--Don't Look!

This cat is funny. She's a fetcher. We have a box of plastic bendy straws and LP and BP love to throw one into the next room and Nesta will retrieve it to them. Every once in awhile she's cart off the straw to her secret hiding place, so somewhere in the house she probably has a stash of yellow, blue, pink and green bendy straws.

Bummer

BP and I took the LP to his heart doctor yesterday and spent four freaking hours waiting around Riley’s Children’s Hospital. His last appointment was in July and his doctor recommended surgery for LP’s vsd (small hole in the heart.) He said that this surgery is better done now when there’s little damage, rather than waiting until LP’s in his thirties or forties and he’d have to be on blood thinners the rest of his life. The surgery is booked for the end of May, which we’re not looking forward to at all.

This is about television

Project Runway.
Daniel V got screwed. He deserved to win. He won the majority of the challenges on this season. His designs were wonderful. I like Chloe, but in my mind she came in second. The judges were right about Santino’s clothes. They were beautiful, but the tops didn’t fit. Why would you go to an important debut like this and not fit your clothes on a live person?? I’m glad Michael Kors offered Daniel a job. He’ll go far.
I’ll miss Tim Gunn.



Sons and Daughters.
There’s a new sitcom on ABC. Sons and Daughters is produced by SNL’s Lorne Michaels. It is very very funny. Max Gail (Detective Wojohowicz from Barney Miller) plays the main character’s stepfather. What fun it is to see him back on tv. They have a stereotypical old lady character by the name of Aunt Rae. She’s what Archie Bunker’s older sister would be like. Check it out. Wednesdays.


The Amazing Race.
It’s too early in The Amazing Race to be interesting. They have a wacko dentist and his wife. The dentist (name is “Lake” as in the ocean) who one team calls “Scott Peterson.” Ha ha.


New sitcom.
I love Julia Louis Dreyfuss but I doubt if I’ll watch her new show The New Adventures of Old Christine. The previews show typical blah sitcom fare.

HP Day

I skated out of work for a half hour to go and buy Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on DVD. Special 2 disc set. Eat your heart out, Muggle!

Foggy, Paint, and the Oscars

It’s very very foggy here today. We got some snow yesterday but later on in the week it’s supposed to climb to 60 degrees.


We accepted a bid to paint our soffits, fascia and window trims. The guy is supposed to come by on Wednesday and talk to BP and get a down payment. Now we’ll just have to wait until we get a week or so stretch of 55 degree weather—maybe later this month or April.

Last night BP watched the Oscars with me. He loves Jennifer Lopez. I think she’s evil. I think her evil mind almost made Jennifer Garner trip on the stage.

What’s with that hairdo everyone had last night? The Uma Thurman/Sandra Bullock hair of the Grecian goddess. Pulled back but wavy. I saw a lot of people doing their ‘do like that. I hated the color of Michelle Williams’ (of Heath Ledger fame) dress. It was mustardy yellow lime. Yuck. Even a hot dog wouldn’t look good wearing that.
