Vicki is having fun – and writing about it!
We still have three CSI shows and I end up watching them here and there. I’m not really a big fan of any of them, although I do favor the original one based in Las Vegas over the other two.
I’m surprised that they stopped at three shows. I was really hoping for a western themed CSI – like Dallas or even Oklahoma City. And I think they could do one based in New Orleans, too. That would give us a different CSI for each night of the work week.
I’m headed for Nashville this afternoon for the Tin Pan South festival. This is the week that Nashville honors the songwriters. There are shows all over town at all the different kinds of show venues for gatherings of all the great and the new songwriters.
I have an all access pass, so I can go to any show that I want. This is going to be so much fun! Plus I get to see one of my Facebook friends, Wendy, while I’m in town. This is going to be a great week!
My darling neighbor is Evelyn Dewars. I have known Miss Evelyn for probably 20 plus years. She has always been next door as long as I can remember. so imagine my surprise when we bumped into each other at the gas station and she mentioned something in her blog. I didn’t eve know she was writing a blog! So I thought it would be nice to mention Miss Evelyn in my blog and see if she likes that.
Have you noticed how none of the grocery stores keep pens at the check out counter any more? They have a stylus for using the credit card machine and they don’t want you to write a check any more. At my Food Lion, they take my blank check and run it through their register. Then they give me back the check! It makes to sense to even write the check out if they are going to give it back to you!
The women at work were talking about muffin tops and belly fat during the lunch break. It is depressing to see that all of us are gaining weight and its almost all centered in our middles.
I wonder if that is because we are so stressed out that we end up eating too much comfort food? There was a commercial for a weight loss product called Relacore that claims to help reduce belly fat. I saw the bottle on the shelf at the drug store last night and almost bought. But it costs $22 and you have to take 2 capsules, three times a day. So if the bottle has 110 capsules and you follow the directions, that is not enough in the bottle to last even 3 weeks.
If I have to spend over $30 a month on these pills, they had BETTER work. I’m going to check with my doctor first, and if she says it is OK to use them, I am tempted to give it a try.
The little furry critter that is our weather expert has emerged from his hole in the ground and been spooked by his shadow. So we have at least 6 more weeks of winter coming.
I have to wonder if this groundhog in Pennsylvania really speaks for the whole country or perhaps just the mid Atlantic states and points north, like New England, where more winter might be a little more easy to predict? I don’t expect the weather in Pennsylvania to be very similar to the weather down here. But then again, winter is winter. So I guess we’ll see what we get.
I don’t remember winter being this cold. It has been down in the 20’s and now we have freeze warnings posted at the apartment gates again. When they post freeze warnings we are supposed to open our kitchen cupboard doors and leave a little trickle of water running in the kitchen sink so that the pipes don’t freeze. I’ve never had pipes freeze before and hope I never have to deal with it. So tonight the water bill offsets the threat of frozen pipes.
Not going away on vacation this year. No one can afford it any more. So we are hanging around town looking for fun. Got any ideas?
