I’m hoping my migraine issues will subside long enough to finish work for the week…at least my yoga class last night seems to have helped some.
What’s everyone up to this weekend? I have the lovely Giants-Eagles football game (on teevee, not in person) to look forward to. Oh, and the taking down of the Christmas tree ( we didn’t put it up until the 23rd, so we’re entitled to the extra week of tree.) Big fun.
I hope your headache clears up soon.
Nothing doing here. I guess I can work in some cheering for the Eagles. 🙂
I’m going to take a pre-emptive stress-reducing walk this morning in an effort to keep it away. 🙂
We root for Giants here…which is part of the problem with having an Eagles-Giants playoff game. There’s a DL get-together to watch the game on Sunday, but it might be weird to be rooting for the blue team instead of the green team. 🙂
I ordered the third season of Weeds on DVD, and that should be here today too, so I think we’ll be having a mini-marathon sometime this weekend.
Good morning!
Wow, you’re on the third season already! We’ve been sidetracked and are only half way through the second.
Morning ask.
There’s lots of action in the second half. It will definitely keep you absorbed.
The last episode was…wow!
Seriously though, the last 4 episodes were so good that someone (ahem) cheated and finished watching them even though I had fallen asleep.
The last episode of season two was, I think, the best of the entire series.
It was certainly action-packed. The whole thing at the end-what a cliffhanger!
We have all the premium channels free with our fios tv until february, so we’re trying to get through all the previous Weeds seasons and watch Season 4 before the trial period ends.
We watched the Tudors on Showtime too. It seems like Showtime has more writing talent than HBO these days (which I don’t think was true back when Deadwood and Six feet Under and the Sopranos were still on).
I’ve never watched the Tudors. It just didn’t interest me at all and I’m not a big television watcher anyway (I only watch Doctor Who, Torchwood, Weeds, and Mythbusters).
I have to admit that I didn’t think either season 3 and 4 of weeds were as good as 1 and 2.
Mythbusters rocks. We watched the Tudors while waiting for Santa to bring the second season of Weeds…we already knew how it ended for Anne, but it was entertaining.
I’ve heard that people thought season 3 was disappointing. We’ll see.
I am so not motivated to work today.
Ah, I just assumed the Eagles — I can easily switch as I don’t care which team wins.
I’ve ready seen season 3. I’ll be interested in your reactions once you’ve seen all of it.
Morning drive by. We’re supposed to be getting up to 6 inches of snow tomorrow, just as the ice is receding a bit. Ugh.
Apricots put up for the winter. Imogen did most the work. I’m mostly in charge of supplies and acquisitions (i.e. scrounging the bottling supplies on the cheap from thrift shops and the like, and buying the fruit from the local growers).
Good evening keres. Those look lovely. You reminded me that there are peaches in the pantry and it’s winter now.
Those look yummy. I love apricots — especially dried or in jams.
Yum. Someone, for Christmas, gave me homemade brandied apricot preserves and they were yummy.
That sounds really good.
Good morning/evening keres, Alice & Andi! The apricots look delicious!
Don’t you wish it look that delicious outside — what a blecch day.
I was hoping for huge mounds of snow, but maybe it will hold off until Sun. evening, as Jim and I were wishfully speculating the other day.
My family in Cleveland got a bunch of snow overnight.
Here in NC the redbuds are blooming already and there are dandelions in my lawn…
Wow! Reminds me of my south Florida winters. I could never get used to the Feb. garden planting (not to mention the damned fire ants) so eventually moved back home.
You know I think redbuds blooming in January is just wrong — it takes away the thrill of spring. Then again, I guess spring where you are just means the arrival of 90% humidity. ;P
Nah, the humidity doesn’t arrive until June. But it does take the immeasurable relief of spring away.
Forecast makes that look pretty unlikely. But it does look like we’ve got quite a few gray days ahead.
brrr. Yesterday it was warm and now the temperatures are plummeting.
I’m trying to figure out my new iphone 🙂
Ooooh…do you love it?
My favorite part is the calendar and contacts that instantly update the calendars and contacts on my laptop and desktop. And the Aurora Feint game and Wurdle are fun apps.
I haven’t had time to play with it really. But so far I really like it. I picked it up yesterday and have been going, going, going. I need to check out new apps – thanks for the recommend. The most I’ve done so far is hook it up to my itunes, download the facebook app and figure out how to make the weather app show my city 🙂
I picked a really busy weekend to get one. I should have planned to do it on a weekend I could have played with it all weekend.
Are you having fun with it? Olivia has an iTouch and sends me email from hockey games (no hockey game is complete with wifi and a brawl).
We have wifi at our hockey games – I haven’t been to one in a while but if I go soon I’ll definitely e-mail you 🙂
Cool! I’m due to get a new phone in May. Unfortunately Verizon has no i-phone. 🙁
It’s freaking 28 here, I’m out of cigarettes, I’ve burned my mustache and I’ve lost my remote. Damn this Monday sucks!
Grumpiness, burned mustache and all. 🙂
I hope you’re sleep now and will back back later.
Ouch.
Makes my whining about the snoring seem small. Except that I’ve spent my prime REM sleep time trying to get someone to stop snoring. Grr.
And now I have to wake yup CBtY, which is always a joy on Mondays.
The elbow in the side technique didn’t work? When it doesn’t, I go for the snuggle with Sniff on the futon technique.
Why do women never say they snore?
I’ve found the remote, but now I can’t find my glasses. This Monday is really not turning out good!
Who said women don’t snore — neither the elbow in the side thing or snuggling with Sniff are gender-based techniques. ;P
I know women snore, it just getting them to admit it. 😉
BTW poor Sniff, having to live through all that snoring.
That why he goes downstairs and sleeps on the couch. Bebo, OTOH, with the resilience of youth can sleep through anything — including being picked up and moved when she tries to take over most of the bed.
With George he gets right up to my back. When I’m sleeping I end up moving away from him. I wake up on the edge of the bed looking down at the floor a lot of times.
I think I’m heading to bed now. See ya’ll later.
Hope you have a nice long rest.
That’s better than waking up on the floor looking at the ceiling. Not that I’ve any personal experience. At least none that I’ll admit to.
I tried the elbow, the shove, the wake ’em up and roll ’em over, the cry of desperation…nothing worked.
And it’s too cold in the living room at 4 am for me to get out of the bed. Maybe if I took the down comforter with me.
It did quiet down enough for me to go back to sleep for a little while.
Well, hello FM. I was about to call out the Hooterville cops on you. Sorry about the mustache, but maybe it’s a sign from some higher power about those damn cigarettes….

lol, that is freaky!
No freakier than redbuds blooming in January. 😉
