lazy grey days

last saturday, while hubby was working and it was cold & grey out, i spent the day putzing about the house and watching the 1st season of roseanne (on dvd). i love watching the first few seasons of roseanne. i love how everything looks, how everyone dresses and how their hair is done. i love how roseanne, jackie and crystal would go out to the lobo (bar) for drinks & pizza. (yes, i know it's a fictional show!) i've never had that & still don't.

and watching this last saturday, i thought of how weekends used to be weekends! after school & after work were just that! friday nights were looked forward to w/excitement! all before the age of all stores being open 7 days a week & open late every night ~ before the age of revolving shifts for industries other than factories...

today it's been finishing the book "round robin" (an elm creek quilts series book from jennifer chiaverini) and watching sex and the city, the end of season 2 and now onto the beginning of season 3. i had wanted to watch season 6, part 2, the last 8 episodes, but, i can't find the dvd's and i'm quite alarmed! anyway!

i cannot explain how much i love this show or how much i've connected to it! it makes me laugh & cry ~ it inspires me! i live vicariously through it as i have always dreamed of living in & working in the city! the show was with me through some very rough times. (total cornball i know!)

I'd forgotten all about Roseanne that was such a funny show.

i was so jazzed when they started releasing it on dvd! i might get season 3 & 4 but after that she changed so much ~ yeah, the show was still funny, but, roseanne stopped smiling, stopped laughing (unless it was a sarcastic laugh) and she seemed so bitter & nasty! it loses the magic it had in the first few seasons!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
