Happiest Moment of the Day
So, my mom and have lately done this thing where we write down the happiest moment of our day. She is much better at it than i am.
These things can be anything. Examples from both of us include:
- Getting my house clean
- feeling a sense of accomplishment about a task
- Getting an owl pellet (seriously, i have never seen anyone so excited about what is essentially owl puke)
- a good day at work
- etc etc
So the happiest moment of my day…being able to give a bouquet of flowers to a customer just because, no strings attached. she was amazed. and i think it probably brightened her day too. nothing better.
What is the happiest moment to your day?
Writer’s strike
The Writer Guilds strike troubles me. first of all, just let me say to the producers of these shows: REALLY, THE WRITERS DESERVE SOME KICKBACK FROM THE INTERNET AND DVDS, WHERE YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE MONEY FROM THE THINGS THEY HAVE WRITTEN. there, got that off my chest.
Now I love TV. seriously, every night but Saturday has a regular DVR schedule. then, I watch it when i get a chance, since i typically work when these shows are on. Just quick breakdown for ya:
Sunday: Amazing Race 12, Desperate Housewives, Brother’s and Sisters
Monday: The Bachelor, (which will soon be done, and then it will be October Road,) Little People Big World, Jon and Kate Plus 8
Tuesday: House, Law and Order SVU
Wednesday: America’s Next Top Model, Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money
Thursday: Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, Big Shots
Friday: Women’s Murder Club
Every day: Regis and Kelly, The View, Ellen.
So yes, I realize that this is approximately 30 hours of television a week. But many times, I don’t watch all of the ones I tape everyday, and with the gift of DVR, i get to fast forward through all of the commercials. But yes, it is an obession, and sad, i realize. But hey, i have no friends or a boyfriend, so give me a break.
Most of these shows only had one or two episodes in the can before the strike. and others are doing without writers, like Ellen. I watch Ellen everyday, because she makes me laugh. and though funny, not as funny without her writers.
And now the rumor is they might not even bring back Lost this year unless this gets resolved. PLEASE, for the sake of television fans everywhere, figure this out.
Do you want me to be your mediator? because as you can see, I am pretty invested. There has to be a solution to problems like this.
Honestly, you could look at it this way. If this doesn’t get resolved, we will move on. and then you will not be making any money, and you will have to build up a viewership again.
Granted, i live in Minnesota in the winter, so there is really nothing else to do. but maybe i will find something. at the very least, some of these shows that are newer on my radar might be dropped.
So, to sum it up. I think the writers have a valid point. Let’s meet and figure this out for the sake of the viewers, the parties of all involved, and their families.
and seriously, call me if you need a mediator!
Dear Santa,

Bonus if it is a male.
And attractive.
and single.
Thank you.
Sing, sing a song
My blogger buddy Brenda tagged me. So, since I haven’t blogged for awhile, I thought I would get back into it. Here are the rules:
Here are the rules. (1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. (2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. (4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
So, for sake of easiness, I am going to do a theme. and the theme for this meme will be music.
1. I know all the words to Don McLean’s “American Pie.” all of them. and that is a long song!
2.I also know all the words to pretty much every Dashboard Confessional song.
3.In college, every time I was heading home for break I would listen to Simon and Garfunkel’s “Homeward Bound.” I love that song.
4.I really like that on Saturday nights, NPR plays jazz as I am on my way home from work.
5.I hate that Christmas music is being played everywhere already. Three radio stations in the area are now all Christmas, all the time. and at work…ugh, i really don’t like it. can’t we wait until after Thanksgiving? Please!
6.So, I am now out of random music things. so, here are more random thoughts. I recently cut my hair fairly short. I like that it takes less time to do in the morning.
7.I am on a carmel apple cider kick right now. yummy!
8.I have 3 new favorite shows. Dirty Sexy Money, Women’s Murder Club, and Entourage.
Ok, so I need to tag 8 people, but I don’t really have many regular readers on my blog, so I am going to tag people on facebook. So I tag Katie, Dave, Aubrey, Naomi, Samie, Adam, Rachel, and Kimi.
