The new Dallas

by

Have you been watching the re-boot of the show Dallas? I’ve been watching it and I’m starting to like it. I’m old enough to remember the original Dallas and this version isn’t quite as good in my opinion but it’s getting better.

I can only get the show Dallas on one channel I suppose it’s because it’s on a specialty channel. It’s funny, I try to tape the show most of the time and I can breeze through the commercials when I do, but when I watch it live I’m stuck watching the commercials and I see ones that seem to match the show I’m watching like ones for sprinkler systems houston which seems to go perfectly with the show Dallas doesn’t it? Odd though since I’m in Canada!

I wonder what other show they’re going to make a remake of next?

I need to get a little more exercise

by

Ever since I injured my hand I find I’m not as active as I used to be. I suppose that’s because I’m not getting out walking the dog or going out in the garden doing things as much because I simply can’t because my left hand is hurting and I can’t use it at all.

I even tried using my Wii the other day but since I’m left handed and I normally hold the controller in my left hand it didn’t work out that well. Not to mention my hand was hurting with all the moving. Maybe when my hand is a little better I’ll trying using a kinect xbox and see if that’s a little better?

Hopefully my hand won’t take that much longer to heal, but it looks like it’s going to be at least four more weeks and if I need surgery maybe 8 weeks in all …

Nick Wallenda crossing Niagara Falls

by

Are you watching Nick Wallenda as he attempts to cross Niagara Falls on a Tight Rope? He’s just about to begin his walk across the falls and I think it’s going to be a nail bitter.

I actually thought about driving to the falls to see the historic event but I couldn’t talk my husband into it. We live close enough that we could have gone.

I haven’t watched any daredevil acts like this on TV for quite a while but this is worth it. I wonder if he has any insurance! I’d image that he couldn’t even get commercial insurance with the stunts he does …

I certainly hope he’s successful. Ok .. he’s about to start. I must go so that I can watch. Go Nick! Good Luck!

I need a nice long bath

by

I’m seriously thinking of having a nice long soak in the tub before I go to bed. That might be just what the doctor prescribed for all my aches and pains. See my last post to understand why I’m aching and bruised and in need of such a soak.

I’m more of a shower person. I don’t take baths very often but when I do it definitely is a pampering spa like bath experience that I’m going for. I’ll soak in the bath until the water has gone from being almost too hot to get into to too cold to stay in. I certainly have enough bath oils, bath beads and bath salts that I could take nice long baths almost every night but I just don’t. I’ve even been thinking of trying a seaweed detox bath every once in a while to see if it helps when my psoriasis acts up.

Do you pamper yourself with nice long soaks in the tub? I’m sure it would help if I actually had a nice big tub in my house. We only have one tub and it’s kind of small … a really nice one would be more enticing I’m sure.

Tired of recouperating?

by

I’m deep in recovery mode after an accident earlier this week. Honestly, I can’t really do much no matter how much I have to do and how much I want to do so I’ve spent the last few days sitting at home basically lying on the couch watching TV and putting icepacks on my bruised and swollen areas.

You see .. I had a bad fall thanks to my husband leaving a big ladder out in the living room on Wednesday night. It was lying up against a table and I tripped over it in the semi darkness early Thursday morning (2 am) and fell on it and basically bruised, sprained and maybe broke my left hand, bruised and sprained my left arm, bruised my left leg and bruised my left chest. I don’t think I could hurt much more if I’d been in a car accident. Well I suppose I could but you know what I mean. I did a good job of hurting myself!

There isn’t a lot on on the weekends at this time of year .. during the day I’ve been watching home improvement shows, interior design and home reno shows or ones where people are buying their first house and so on. Most are interesting. One of the ones I watched today had a couple looking at Wilmington nc homes for sale because they were moving from California or was it Oregon to look for a new home. I can’t remember the name of that show, but they always show the prospective buyer three homes and they chose one house out of the three and end up happy for ever after. Somehow I think there’s probably more than three houses shown I certainly looked at more than three houses before I bought this one … I think I looked at about 45b houses!

Anyway … I sure hope that my bruised body feels better in a few days because I’m already sick and tired of lying around. That’s just not me!
