Friends

Friends are one of the greatest gifts we can be given. They make us smile when we are sad or let us vent when we need to get something off our chest. I am so grateful to have good friends. The truth is there are many different types of friends. There are the friends that you've had so long you don't remember a time when you weren't friends. Some friends you can pick right up with even if it's been months since you've actually talked. Then there's the friends that you have a connection with that regardless of the time and distance it always seems to be there. Living in a small town I feel like I have a lot of friends I dont see often but know they would be there if need be. It's a great feeling to know that there will be people there for you if you fall or that will be there to help you celebrate the good things in life. Friends love you for who you are and dont give a second thought to your flaws, or short comings. They are the best to laugh with, cry with, and talk with. They give you perspective, support, love, encouragement and sometimes criticism. I have been blessed to have many friends and even more blessed that I married my best one.

Eric new obsession

I dont know if any of you have ever seen the NBC show Heros but it has taken over my husband. He started watching it on Netflix on a late night when he couldn't sleep and since then almost every hour of his time when he's not working or sleeping he is watching it. His schedule is weird so he usually has a few days off in a row throughout the week so it gives him ample time to watch 3 1/2 seasons in a short period of time. Sadly I have gotten into the season also but not to the level he is. Last night we were out and several times he would say things to reference to the show. Now let me remind you that this is a sci-fi show about people with special abilities so it was funny that he was making up stuff while we were out about people saying what their "ability" was. Even going as far as doing certain mannerisms like the villain in the series. I couldn't stop laughing nor could I stop going along with it because it was so funny. I think Eric is as crazy about Heros as I was about the Twilight Book series so I just have to laugh because he's never gotten caught up on something like this. We will see how the love affair continues since now he can only watch one episode a week now like all the other Hero lovers.

Am I lame???

Is it lame that for 2 Fridays in a row Eric has had to work and I have done NOTHING????!!!! It's not for a lack of invites but the lack of desire to do anything. Last Friday I laid down with Eric for a nap before he went to work and then fell asleep and instead of getting up when he left just stayed in bed till the next morning! Now tonight I am reading blogs and such which isn't lame in the least but I feel like I should be out being social with my friends. Even as I'm writing this Im frustrated with myself that I cant muster up the energy or desire to go out. I guess there's nothing I can do about it just hope it passes before to long or my friends may think Im becoming a hermit.

This and That

I have a bunch of jumbled stuff in my head that I am trying to sort through. Its like my brain is on overload and I cant get it to come out in writing correctly. Its not necessarily stressful stuff but just stuff.

For instance I am watching Jay Leno thinking why is Heidi Klum so pretty and she seems funny and nice. I have to say thats just not fair! Also with all the drama with Jay Leno, Conan Obrien and who will get the late night spot after the news. I myself haven't watched Conan since he took over the late show and find it hard to watch Jay at 9 because there's so many other shows on at that time. Such the dilemma....I guess we will have to wait and see what NBC decides.

I know I need to post pictures of my new sofa, which we love by the way! I knew I would like it I was unaware Eric would love it so much. Every-time we are on the sofa watching TV, he's like I love this thing, it makes me laugh. Speaking of laughing Eric and I have this constant battle with me turning off the lights when I leave a room. You would think I was 5 years old or something. Eric is constantly saying, "Are you going back in there?" Its horrible Im like babe Im sorry Im all for saving energy but I just cant seem to remember. So now when he ask me I start laughing and hang my head and go back to the bathroom, bedroom, closet, kitchen, laundry room and shamelessly turn them off. At a wedding we were at in December they had a little sign above the light switch that said "please turn off light." I ran and got Eric and was like we really need these! Anyway, moving on.....

Eric by fluke one night couldn't sleep and started watching Hero's on Netflix with his computer. He became obsessed with watching them until like 2a.m. I would wake up and he would have his ipod ear buds in with his little laptop just sitting there all into these shows. I was like I cant believe you like watching them like that, his new laptop is only 10 inches but he said wearing the ear buds made it seem like surround sound so that made up for it. I thought he was crazy but now Im am totally into them now and we are about to start on Season 3!

I colored my hair darker this week and its taking me awhile to adjust. I typically take to a new hair color very quickly but not this time for some reason. I guess I should post a picture of my new hair- do also, I need to make a list of things I want to do on my blog. Oh, and I am only a few post away from 100 and thinking about doing something fun....but what??? Any ideas would be great!

My Snow Day

It's the time of the year when you get lucky and get a snow day!! I had to go to work for just a little bit this morning but I really should have stayed home because the roads were slick. I made it home safely however and have been enjoying my unexpected day off. I have made cookies, washed the sheets in the spare bedroom, played on facebook, put supper in the crock pot and now Im just waiting for Eric to get home. I am thinking he is probably going to want to take the jeep out and play in the snow but its so cold, I am not sure Im up for that. For now Im going to make another pot of coffee and snuggle up on the sofa. Enjoy the snow everyone!

My first post for the New Year.

Its been so busy with the Holidays so here's a run down of whats been going on and things on my mind.

• We had a great Christmas but I don't feel like getting into all the details, call me lazy.
• I have had my blog almost one year and I am so glad my friend talked me into doing this.
• Speaking of that, Christina if you are reading this I think I would like a new blog look for 2010. I'm thinking, browns, maybe some teal blue, go crazy you know me and I trust you. No rush I know you are a very busy girl.
• I had a nice low key New Year but didn't get my New Year's Eve kiss because my hubby had to work:(
• We got our new sofa and I love it.
• I need to really deep clean my house for the new year but I know I'll keep putting it off.
• Eric is addicted to Heros that his has been watching on Netflix, via his computer. He uses head phones to listen to it and says it makes him feel like he has surround sound, I just laugh.
• This is my 90th post so I need to decide if I'm going to do something fun for my 100th one.
• I don't make New Years resolutions but I need to think about being a better saver.

On that note I wish everyone a very happy and healthy 2010.

Decisions, Decisions.....

Eric and I are in the market for a new sofa. The sofa we currently have is starting to look pretty worn and the cushions are starting to break down to the point that I have towels folded up under neath them to help out. At your first glance you wouldn't notice the wear and tear but if you seen it everyday you would definitely notice. Anyway we found a beautiful Natuzzi red leather sofa at a local furniture store and now we need to decide if it is the one we want and if its worth the money. We really like it but neither of us want to be the one that says "yes" lets get it. I've talked to a few friends that have Natuzzi and they say its worth the money. So to my blogger friends if you have any advice on this subject please let me know. Thanks
