Oh TV, Oh TV, Where for art thou TV?


I love my TV. I watch way too many shows, DVR those that I miss and find myself watching those I don't even care about. Simply because it is there. Since being pregnant, I have lost much of the weight--40+ pounds, but considering I gained nearly 60 pounds, I definitely had alot to lose. I think that may be the first time I included that information on this blog. Anyway, it was way too much. I am now paying the price. I am slowing getting rid of it, but it is a huge work in progress. Before we attempt Baby #2, I am promising myself to get back down to my good old size 10. I have a bit to go. You're probably wondering how this is all related. Time is ticking. Baby #2 needs to come soon, so the weight needs to go--along with the TV. I am hoping this is the incentive I need to get my big bootie off this couch and get moving. However, since in ND (where I had NO cable--did I mention NONE, NOT A, ZIP, NILCH? And for all you smarties out there--yes, there is cable in ND, but since my Grandma's house is sitting empty, they cancelled the Direct TV)I have been sitting here watching our 12 stations, 4 of which are in Spanish and 1 in French. It has been kind of painful, but I guess I am doing okay. I miss my DVR. I miss HGTV. I'm not sure I miss the shows exactly, but I miss having the option to watch them if I choose. Chris isn't sure that I will make it through the summer, but it is a challenge I'd love to accept! So, from now on, please don't talk to us about what happened on "Moving Up," "One Tree Hill," "UFC," "The Deadliest Catch," or any other show that is not on PBS. If you have a question about what you missed on "Clifford," "Sesame Street," or "Teletubbies," then hey, I'm your gal. I take that back, I hate "Teletubbies." So for now, let the countdown continue--no extended cable for 9 days and counting.

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought
