Hello and welcome to another edition of the Thursday Thirteen. Last week, I was sick ALLLLL week -- AGAIN!!! I was sick for almost 9 days...I FINALLY felt better only after drinking (what seemed like) 3 gallons of Gatorade -- oh man! That flu bug hit me hard. That was the worst I have been since in probably 15 years. With all of that being said, this week, I thought I would talk about 13 random thoughts I have had over the last week in no particular order – some coming from TV overload:1. OK, at 39 years old, yes – I think it is a travesty that Anna Nicole Smith died. However, with that being said, I DON’T think we should devote 8 hours a day on just about every channel between ABC and Z-Net to her death. I DO think that she was a fool for not updating her will, especially since her man is a lawyer! How foolish.
2. Virgie Smith – mother of Anna Nicole. OK, where does she get off asking to be the legal guardian of Dannielynn? First of all, she DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ANNA NICOLE WAS PREGNANT until her birth was announced on TV! Your 5 minutes of fame are over…please exit stage left.
3. Is it me, or do shows now seem funnier now that they are in re-runs? (ie Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker)…maybe it was the flu thinking for me too :)
4. I really love it when they have show marathons…This week, I was able to catch a Law & Order marathon, and Top Chef marathon, and a M*A*S*H marathon (of sorts). Not to mention my daily 2 hour dose of COPS, and my daily dose of Stump The Schwab.
5. HOT……cold…… HOT……cold…… HOT……cold…… HOT……cold……it was the story of my week. I need a new internal thermostat.
6. Lethargic suites me well :) Don’t ask me why, maybe it was the flu talking again, but I was content (even sick) to just lay on the couch and do nothing. Maybe it’s independently wealthy I like the thought of LOL
7. There are some REALLY stupid movies being made anymore. I watch these movie trailers and think “WTF!” The only one I can actually say I want to see is the new Jim Carrey movie “The Number 23” – that actually looks REALLY good!
8. Food TV did a BEST OF the top 10 places to pig out…there is a place in the Sierra Nevadas that serves 5 pounds (yes, 5 POUNDS) of pancakes for their breakfast!!! WITH fresh maple syrup! Mmmmmm not what I need, but it sure did look good!
9. I cannot wait for winter to be over – for the most part we have been lucky, but I am done with winter – bring me spring and bring me my nice weather and baseball
10. NASCAR is here – I am happy! My daughter loves going to the Home Depot so she roots for #20 Tony Stewart. Now me, I am a fan of whoever puts him into a wall – whenever she is not visiting :) I was flipping through and she goes “DADDY RACECARS VROOOM!!!!” … yes, my daughter loves NASCAR!
11. My daughter also registered for her first soccer lessons – so she asked me if I would buy her a soccer ball so we could practice…how can you say no? BUT, she did say it HAD to be purple and pink soccer ball – her favorite colors. So Daddy is going to be her goalie
12. My son is up and running around the house like a wild hibanchi!! It was just a couple weeks ago he could barely stand with him holding your fingers to walk – now, runs the house! LOVE it
13. I love my kids – I wish there was a way to bundle up their happiness into a jar and carry it around with me :) You cant describe it in words sometimes.
In closing, I would just like to say to Leanne, the creater of the Thursday Thirteen, thank you so VERY much for all you have done with the Thursday Thirteen. I wish you all the best in everything you choose to do, and for all those faithful readers of my musings, please continue to stop by - I plan on continuing to write ... with or without the TT13.
J-Dawg
