The Big Bang Theory
Hands Down. For right now. Ask me again in a year and my favorite tv show will probably have changed. :)

Painful Sunday
So last night, in my sleep, I managed to strain a muscle in my back. It was SO painful in the middle of the night that I had to wake up Jason to have him help me move around and such. I was able to take some medicine and do a few stretches to help me get back to sleep. I was hoping that the sleep would help, but I woke up this morning in just as much pain. So, Jason ran to the church to get the sound set up and I got myself set up on the couch. This was my view, pretty much all day.
Anyhow, Jason got home from the church and proceeded to take over the tv. (Okay, okay, I gave it to him for football.) I snoozed for a bit on the couch and when I woke up, this was what my guys were up to!
Jason decided earlier this week that, due to the weather being chilly and the Cowboys playing tonight, that he would make a pot of his world-famous chilli for dinner. Well, it is world-famous to me. Thank goodness, too, because I don't know if I would have been able to cook! So, he let the chilli stew for a bit and by the time the cornbread came out of the oven, we were drooling. It was delicious. By far the best chilli he's ever made! I love a meal that was prepared 100% with our cast iron. It just tastes/feels better for some reason!
Since we had it on hand, I just finished a snack of a slice of cornbread and some creamed raspberry honey. Delicious! That's the way winter evenings should be! The only thing missing was the hot chocolate. I opted for water instead. I could sure do without the extra calories especially since I wasn't able to work out.
I'm getting ready to head to bed to browse some magazines until I fall asleep. I've decided that it's time to downsize my magazine stash, so I've been going through them to tear out articles, decor ideas and anything else that inspires me. I've already gone through a HUGE stack and I've been tackling my new magazines as they come in. Right now I'm down to 10 magazine-holders full and I really, really hope to be done by year's end. We'll see if that happens with all the Nov. and Dec. traveling I'll be doing, but I'm going to try.
Well, goodnight and God Speed!

Being Halloweenies!
Today was a great day. I got up and went to work and spent most of the morning cleaning up and reorganizing my desk area. Jason had the day off since he's been working so hard and traveling quite a bit lately. I got off and ran a few errands; grocery shopping, the bank and the bookstore to pick up Jason's new book. I got home and ate lunch and only then did I realize that I hadn't gotten any candy for the kiddos. So, we hopped in the truck and ran to the store for way too many bags of candy.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing, baking 4 loaves of pumpkin bread and preparing for the night.
We've been watching Ghost Hunters Live since 7 p.m. I've been texting back and forth with Karen most the night. I'm really disappointed that she didn't get to come out for the Halloween extravaganza, but that's okay. There'll be other times for us to hang out here in Alpine. Jason and I actually cooked up a great plan for the next time her and Eric come out. It involves a road trip south, a cabin and Big Bend National Park. We'll be making plans soon, I hope.
Tomorrow we're repairing my dresser, doing laundry, putting away the Halloween decor and getting the house clean. Sounds like fun, right? Actually, Saturdays are always fun here.
Well, I feel I've been rambling for long enough. Besides, the doggies are laying next to me on the couch and all it does is remind me that I want to be in bed right now. Good night!!

Anti-day...
I didn't blog last night and I'm not sure why. I was feeling rebellious and anti-EVERYTHING, especially after work. Maybe it's because last night was my "night of rest" when I only worked out at lunch and not after work. I didn't have all those happy endorphins lifting my spirits. Anywho, I had my laptop set up on the coffee table in front of me and even began a blog, but I just couldn't commit. Because of that, I'll probably feel like I have to blog again tonight. I hope I have it in me to be interesting twice today!!
Work has been slow all morning and I've spent my time cruising the net for the following:
Dallas Cowboys Pumpkin Carving Kits (to purchase for next year)
Election news
Handmade crafty goodness for this week's favorites installment
Information on the origins of both Halloween and Christmas (thinking of doing a comparative study)
Recipes for the pumpkin bread I've promised I'll make tonight
So far, that's my day. I'm not expecting there to be much going on this afternoon, either, so I'll continue my frivolous internet pursuits after lunch.
Last night was Ghost Hunters night with two episodes airing that we've never seen before. The Seattle insane asylum was crizazy and I wasn't all that impressed with anything on either of the other two investigations.
We spent the commercial breaks of the first episode watching the Spurs lose to the Suns, which was disappointing for the home season-opener, but I'm encouraged by the fact that both Oberto and Ginobili were out due to injuries. I'm sure that it would have been a different story had they been in the game. It's an odd year, so I will take every game with a grain of salt; they seem to pull out the Championship regardless of their regular season performance in odd years.
Tonight is a pumpkin carving, seed roasting, pumpkin bread baking night while watching Leatherheads. I hope it's good. The previews look pretty darn funny.
Well, I'm off to check my email for the umpteen-millionth time since logging on this morning. What a life...

Loong day!
Today was quite a day. I woke up late and was late to work. Things didn't look great from the start, but they've brightened up considerably. Jason made it back into town at about 3:30 and was waiting happily when I got home at 5. We had a lovely dinner together and I just threw a carrot cake for 18 into the oven. (Work birthday tomorrow...sheesh.) It's actually my first time making carrot cake, but the batter tastes divine, so I'm sure it will turn out as long as I don't burn it.
I'm going to have to take a break from this for 2 hours. Ghost Hunters is about to start and America's Funniest Home Videos is on after that. So, I'll be back at 10!
Well, it's 10:15 and I'm back. I thought I'd have the gumption to sit here and type a while, but the lure of the bed and a good book are calling to me. Goodnight!
