Here are some fabulous things in my life right now:
1. Hazel is home: happy and
healthy!
2. I lost weight last week in spite of PMS, hospital cafeteria food and watching approximately 15 hours of TV a day. Not much but I still lost! I even maintained the no sugar rule and did pretty well on the WW points.
3. I made a fabulous salad last night: spinach, fresh blueberries, grated parmesan cheese, peas and poppyseed dressing. It would be great with chicken or even crumbled bacon as a main dish. Yum!
4. I am practically an RN! OK that is probably blasphemous to any RN that reads it...sorry! But I'm actually having fun playing nurse with Hazel and her IV meds. I thought it was going to be really scary and hard but it's fun and after watching the nurses do it at the hospital for so long it wasn't that much of a stretch. I have to admit that this whole experience has made the medical field more interesting to me. I never used to be able to watch medical TV of any kind but now that it has a little personal connection, I totally love it! Scrubs here I come!
5. And speaking of TV, LOST is back on the air and I am so happy! In other TV news: at the hospital I watched about 1000 episodes of What Not To Wear....FUNNY! In addition I watched the tackiest show on earth: How To Look 10 Years Younger. I hate to admit it but it is also funny and they are pretty good at making people look better!
6. Last but not least: I'm amazed at how blessed I am in so many aspects of my life. I have an amazing family, fabulous friends and a warm comfortable home. What more can a girl ask for?
That about does it for me! More later!
Sooo......have I mentioned that everyone should be watching LOST? Seriously, I haven't seen such fab TV since...since...ever! It's so creative and bizarre and it just sucks you in. I love it. What you all need to do is rent the first season, watch the first 2 or 3 episodes and then try--just TRY to not watch the rest of it. If you think it's too spooky or scary, it's not! It's just the right amount of both. Go rent it now! Dad, Miss Laura & Gail, this means you!
Also, if you haven't heard the piece that won for Best Original Song, it is great. It's from an Irish Indie film called Once. It's rated R for language so you could probably find an edited version if you are concerned about ratings. You can listen to the song Falling Slowly here. This video clip is just the actors singing the song so it is rated G. The actors are also the writers and musicians. It is really very poignant.
