Wheel of Fortune is on and I just observed them showing the winning "at home" number during the interview process instead of waiting until the end. Hmmm... I wonder if I missed my number somewhere. Probably not. I hope couple #3 wins. Couple #1 is too peppy cutesy. Yeah, this is what I do now -- criticize complete strangers on tv. I'm so pathetic.
Jen fixed dinner tonight.Always amazes me the things she just makes up as she goes along. She cooked a box of whole wheat spaghetti (I would have only used half the box and told her so). After boiling and draining, she mixed a couple of eggs with seasonings and mixed it in the pasta. Then she put the whole thing in an oblong pan and topped with frozen meatballs (the kind that are already cooked), sprinkled on mozzarella cheese and poured tomato sauce over the top. Covered with tin foil and baked for about 40 minutes. Served with green beans. Would have been tasty with garlic bread too but we didn't have any. Hunter came over and ate with us.
Here's before and after:
For someone who LOVES music and is ready every year to be entertained with all awards show, it seems that I am invariably disappointed. The Grammys almost always disappoint and Country Music Awards is the same. CMA because it's not the kind of country songs I like and a lot of the music is just too jazzy and loud with women showing off their butts and boobs and guys wearing tight jeans. Okay. I know how I sound. My age is showing. It's always the same people every single time. And most of them are boring as hell. Like Keith Urban. His music sounds all the same and I could never name anything he's sung. Oh well, I'll get over it. I usually don't watch anymore anyhow.
The Grammys I was all ready to enjoy. Liked Adele's opening but wasn't impressed with the David Bowie tribute. Also felt it was rather drama queenish of her to stop the music and start over with an apology on how "she just had to get it right." She's had enough rehearsals to get it right, for crying out loud. Carrie Underwood in her short dress singing with Keith Urban was too showoffy. And the song stunk.
Beyonce carrying on like she was a queen was overkill. So was Adele ripping her Grammy in half to give half to her because she was so moved with her music. Give me a break! The guys taking their pants off and going on stage to get an award in their underpants was right out of junior high and STUPID! Even Bruno Mars (who I really like) didn't play a song you could get into. Lady Gaga (who I also like) sang heavy metal with a band and I hate heavy metal! I like James Corden but rolling down the stairs was dumb.
I did like Katy Perry's performance wearing her "resist" arm band and I adored the commercial about IBS. ha ha
Well, nuts! Couple #1 won on Wheel. They did miss the $50,000 final round though. Oh shame on me! Now I'm really not gonna win on Hit 5. God doesn't find favor with people who applaud folks losing.
I got a couple of shots in my knee today and it's remarkable how quickly it helped. I haven't had any pain all day long. Loving it! She said it was bursitis with some arthritis going on too. Now we gotta find out what that achiness around my waistline is. So much belly fat there, its bound to have something to do with the blubber getting in the way of other organs. I'll gladly take that over other really bad stuff. Never want to hear liver troubles.
Picked up a converter box at the cable company as they're going digital and planning to scramble everybody's channels unless they have a box. That's really Christian of them, I thought. The box is free for one year and then you pay $4 a month. Which I'm sure they'll raise the price on sooner or later. I asked if I couldn't buy one and nope! So I checked online but couldn't figure it out. I can live with the $4 but it's little stuff like when the nickle and dime you to death that slowly adds up over time and when you're on a fixed income, every new fee is noticed. I'm already living pretty frugally and my one extravagance is lightwt gambling. I'll never be a big roller.
I have four tvs in the house and now three of them won't be able to be watched because they wanted $4 for each box with no free time period. I can manage. I have a roku on two sets. One in Jen's room and one in the living room. I can always transfer it to my bedroom or sewing room IF I decide I want to watch Netflix. Which is pretty much all we watch most of the time anyhow. That, and Amazon. I also have a VCR in my bedroom and sewing room so I can plug in and watch VHS movies. I have a few onhand and you can usually find them cheap in second hand stores or garage sales. And there's my DVD player in the living room that I can use for the movies I have on disk. Again, I don't have a ton of movies but enough, and I can also borrow free ones at the library.
Every now and then I tell myself I'm weaning myself off television and am going to read all the books I have on my shelves and have never read. I also have pages and pages of lists of books I've printed out (all the Pulitzers, for example) that are my "intend to read before I die list." It's probably not going to happen. I'm a slow reader -- plus I get tired way faster than I ever used to. And I can't stay off the computer. There's always going to be THAT!
Wayne just dropped in and brought Jenni flowers and candy. So sweet.
Friday I'm heading into Port Townsend. Will stop at Disco Bay to visit Lauretta Thorne Scrafford who has some pictures to show me. Gonna make a treat to take in as thank yous to a few people too. A really terrific treat!
Uh oh, it's only 8 o'clock and already I can feel the fatigue setting in. Course I got woke up at 5 a.m. with leg cramps and never did get to really fall back to sleep. And there's my phone. My beloved new phone that I loved got a glitch and I can't fix it. I became very aware of my problem with OCD last night when I attempted to get it running for THREE HOURS! I just couldn't accept the fact I was getting nowhere. I didn't cry but I almost did. Went to bed at 8:55 with a headache and in a blue mood. And then the helicopters were doing maneuvers at the airport running their engines for over 20 minutes. It was LOUD and I was not happy.
