TV pleasures: So You Think You Can Dance

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Another of my fav came back a few weeks ago. So You Think You Can Dance. I love watching the contestants learn dances out of there comfort zone. The choreography of last year was beautiful and made me cry. The contemporary routine by Mia as well as so many of the others. It is beautiful to watch. I’m already enjoying seeing the routines this year. The bar is getting higher and higher for this show.

Nope I don’t have any fav yet. They are all so good and their personalities are interesting. Over the next few weeks I’ll see how it plays out and can’t wait to see who will win this years So You Think You Can Dance.

TV pleasures: The Closer

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

I’m waiting for the new season of The Closer to start. I love this show and the way they solve cases. So as I wait I am watching the encores of last season. And the funny thing is as I watch again I see things I missed the first time I watched the episode. LOL. This happens to me when I reread books to. It is like I find something new and fun. Brenda and the crew is always fun. Some of the things they did last year were hilarious. And Brenda’s southern charm is quirky.

The Closer new season is coming soon and until then I am having fun with the old episodes to get my Closer fix.

TV pleasures: Army Wives

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I’ve admitted many times I enjoy watching TV. Well one of the shows I was really looking forward to coming is Army Wives. With the way they left us last year with them in the bar I couldn’t wait to see who survived. I was rooting for the Roxy, Claudia Joy, Denise and Roland. Well last Sunday was the season 2 premier. I knew from the teasers someone was going to die I got my cold drink and curled up in a chair anxiously waiting for the show. When I saw all the regulars I breathed a sigh of relief no one was killed off. Some were hurt. The owner of the bar more so and almost at death’s door. As the show wore on I wondered who was going to die. Well I never saw it coming. Claudia Joy’s daughter died. Man I was crying when they finally showed who died.

I’m also an emotional TV watcher. LOL. All I can say the premier was so worth the wait. The sneak peek of what is coming this season will definitely have me turning it. So Army Wives one of my TV pleasures is back.

Temptation Tuesday – One of my Reading Places

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Since I was feeling crappy I decided to curl up with a book in one of my favorite reading places. On my couch. Actually spread out on my couch with the covers over me and a book in my hand. Sigh the bliss. I have a few places I like to read at in my house but my couch is one where I can relax, read then fall asleep if I want to. I could have gone to my bed another place I like to read but didn’t feel like it. The couch called me so I’ve been curled up on the couch reading and drinking some.

Temptation Tuesday – Strangers in Death

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

A quick blog. I’ve got the new JD Robb book Strangers in Death. I’m reading it as we speak. I have to get back to reading. I have a bet with a friend to see who will finish reading it first. The prize for the wager is a Sony  E-Book reader. {rubbing hands together in anticiaption) I’m so going to enjoy winning.

Heck even if I didn’t have the bet as incentive I would still read this book fast. Refer to my love affair post. The prize for the wager just adds to the joy of it. {wicked grin} Watch out McKenna I want that reader bad. 

Back to reading.

Temptation Tuesday – A Good Book

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

I’m in the middle of a good book. One from the In Death Series. There is nothing like a good read. It sucks you in and makes you forget everything. Sigh. I burned dinner. LOL. Anyway this is short because my book is calling me.

 So come share some good books that make you forget everything..

Temptation Tuesday – Gadget Crazy

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I mentioned in my blog yesterday that I love Gadgets. Well it doesn’t fully encompass how I feel about them. Imagine if you will pulse pounding, over the top giddy feeling. A visceral thrill and wanton need. That only scrapes the surface about how I like gadgets. LOL. When I got my color laser jet printer as a gift last year I was over the moon. {blushing} even posted here about it. {grin} Still loving it.

Currently I am in the search of an e book reader. I’ve been doing my research on the different types. Getting all pro and cons of all. Going to the sites and salivating over them. Yeah I have it bad for Gadgets. Still not sure which I will get. I’ve narrowed it down to these two.

Still weighing options on both to decide which I will get. Feel free to share your suggestions about e book readers.

Teasers….

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Ahh… day job crazy and ill. Added some lemon to my tea.My tea bag had another saying that I found so true. It said:

Gossip is something negative that is developed and then enlarged.

Very true.

Now your turn. Give me your best teaser.
