I'm getting all excited for Fall. For a ton and a half of reasons. The cooler weather, the possibility to go home for a visit, new babies, the fun traveling, and the TV shows. I'm being serious here! There are some good shows coming. Like New Girl...
Yes, I'm excited to see this new FOX show. It just looks like a funny show! One that is totally relatable. And will have my attention. Something that will take my mind off of real life. And isn't that why we watch TV? To forget about our troubles, even for just a few minutes. So I'm anxiously awaiting the Fall lineup. This is one show that I'll be tuning into. How about you?
XOXO

I LOVE Lucy!
Today is Lucy's 100th Birthday. And if you know anything about me, know this. I LOVE Lucy. Since I was young, I've been the biggest fan. I would always get in the best mood, when I Love Lucy was on. It was and still is, my favorite TV show.
Over the years, I've collected various memorabilia. But honestly, I don't have much. And I definitely don't have any DVDs. I always see them at the store. But find it hard to part with $30-40 for one season. I know. I'm lame. And one day, I will.
But today is all about Lucy. A day to celebrate her life. And all of her amazing work. I've actually found a marathon on TV. And I'll be tuning in, until D gets back from work. Maybe I can even convince some of his buddies to watch with me. They're all coming over for dinner tonight. This could be fun! Happy Birthday Lucy!
XOXO

Sick Saturday
D is still sick. Poor man. I don't know what exactly happened. He didn't look good yesterday morning. D insisted it was lack of sleep. I didn't believe him. And as the day progressed, he looked worse! But I got here early this morning. Way to early if you ask me. D was in full "sweat effect" mode. His fever broke early this morning. But he is still not feeling well. The mere mention of food makes him sick. I can't even convince him to eat soup. I've tried. The furthest I got, was convincing him to drink 7UP. He is also grey! The color of grey is not so good. But it is getting better. At least since yesterday.
Right now, I am watching PBS. All the food shows. Don't you just love Saturday afternoons? When they show all of these food and garden shows. Diary of a Foodie and Garden Smart are becoming some of my favorites! I actually got some ideas from Everyday Food. I can't wait to try them! And I just LOVE to hear Pepin talk. It is kind of weird, I know. But I love his accent. D was not to pleased with my selection of shows. So he is in bed. I think that is best though. Really, I do! You should see how bad he looks. And his fever is coming back!
I am going to have some soup. I made homemade chicken noodle. It is really good. Even if it is close to 100*F outside! I think I will eat some soup and continue learning about flowers to plant in our garden. Maybe D will be feeling better by tonight. He did have a good day at work. But right now, he is just under the weather.

A Day at Home
It is somewhat of a "Stay-at-Home" kinda day for me. I am being a "Homebody" for the most part today. Really I am. Earlier today I went to the hospital for a somewhat "routine" procedure. And I have to return later tonight. Just for an hour or so. Then I start praying...and hoping for the best.
D has been great about it too! I don't think he got much sleep last night. But he drove me to the hospital at 4AM while I slept in the passenger's seat. My appointment was for 5AM and the hospital is about an hour away. He brought me back home, put me to bed, made me breakfast, took the doggies out, got ready for work, made sure I had my medicine, and left for work. All before 9AM. Goodness, he is a good man!
I slept until about 9:30AM. Being sick sure does make you tired! I think in the last few weeks I have slept more than I have in my previous 26 years. No lie! But I enjoyed my breakfast...pancakes with fruit! All while watching Regis and Kelly. But I didn't stop there. The fur babies and I sat on the couch and watched The View. My mouth was watering while I watched Tyler Florence. Seriously, the man can cook! Thinking about making it for D for dinner tonight. It just sounds too good! Forget his "Healthy Eating Plan." There are plenty of days for that! He probably would have enjoyed the "Hungry Girl" segment...I have been following her for years because of school.
And I also started us a Twitter account. Who knows what will actually get posted there. I guess you will just have to take a look. Then I played with my personal account for way too long! I finally decided to follow some people. Because I was only following 1 person. Yes, 1 person! Got that all cleared up. And I was actually having some fun on Twitter.
Now I am doing laundry. I have actually been doing laundry for a while now. But I have to. We have so much dirty laundry! I cannot believe that 2 people can dirty that much clothes. But apparently, WE CAN! And it didn't help that we hadn't been home in weeks. Yes, peeps I said weeks! Therefore, I have done 6 loads of laundry and it doesn't even look like I have made a dent.
Now I am off to do some crafting! It has been a while since I have done some serious crafting. A long...long...LONG WHILE. My craft room is literally crying for me to go in. I have been crocheting pretty regularly. But that is generally easy. I can stick a project in my bag and go. I have probably made 5-6 baby blankets in the last 2 months. But I am wanting to do more crafts. I have been wanting to make a couple of aprons. One for my parent's neighbor's granddaughter. Did you get that? Yeah, I know. Her birthday is in July and she is just too cute! I made her a crochet tea set with desserts. I just thought an apron would go good with it.
I should get going. The wash just finished and I can already hear the clothes in the dryer wrinkling. And for a girl that doesn't like to iron...that is no good. Have a great day!

My New Favorite TV Show
My new favorite TV show is Cake Boss. This is a fairly new reality show on TLC. Filmed at a bakery...Carlo's Bakery, located in Hoboken, New Jersey. The star of the show is Buddy (above in the picture.) He is one of those lively Italian guys. The kind you just have to love because they are so great. The Valastro Family is starred in the show, along with the staff of the bakery (most of which are members of the Valastro Family.)
The show is different from Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. Another show that I absolutely love! But Cake Boss is definitely my favorite. I love the interactions with the various family members and staff. Lil' Frankie reminds me of an old friend's boyfriend. There is just something about them that makes you laugh. Sometimes Ace of Cakes can be a little flat when it comes to the employees. The cakes are always amazing, but they lack a little in "liveliness."
Cake Boss on the other hand, is a great show with lots of action. I think I like it so much because it reminds me a little of my family. The cakes are amazing! Not better than, or worse than Ace of Cakes. They are just different. Both shows and bakeries have specialties. It just depends on what type of cake you are looking for. For cartoonish characters, I would definitely say Ace of Cakes has them beat!
But let me tell you, I would absolutely LOVE to go get me some of those authentic Italian Specialties. And one day, I would absolutely LOVE to get a wedding cake, birthday cake, or baby shower cake from there! Or maybe one of those boxes like the pregnant lady received in one of the shows. You have to admit, everything looked delish!
If you want to watch Cake Boss, it comes out Mondays on TLC at 10/9C. It will definitely entertain you. And leave you wanting some Italian Delicacies!
XOXO
