Ok, So Odds, Ends...and a Cute Guy...

Well, the cold front has FINALLY hit Florida. The temp last night was in the FORTIES in St. Petersburg. While walking the dogs, I could actually see my breath. It was invogorating, and I loved it. The dogs? Not so much. The temp has warmed up some, and by Thanksgiving, should be back up to almost 80. Boo.

I am on call (again) this weekend, and have already had 2 visits this morning. I was on call last week, and had 2 visits then, so I am already looking at bringing in another couple hundred dollars, which my credit cards are going to be thankful for. (Or are they? I mean, if I pay them off, then they don't get all that lovely interest...) Anywho, my first visit of the day was in a home in the Old NE part of town. Lovely house, lovely family, and it was at 7:15am, so I got a full night's sleep before it, which is always...well, lovely. (The puggies were not too happy with the idea of getting up so early on such a cold morning, so after going outside while I threw on some clothes to go to this visit, I put them back on the bed and threw the blanket over them, where it appears they stayed til I got back. I was able to enjoy drinking a hot Pumpkin Spice Latte from the Buck of Star after attending the death...something that only seems to be really good when it's cold out.

Upon getting home, I watched last week's episode of ER, entitled "Blackout." It was a damn good hour of television, especially for 9am on a Saturday. I was not a big fan of Maura Tierney's character when she first came on the show, but I really like her now - well developed, well, rounded. I haven't seen this Thursday's episode yet, but I am looking forward to it.
Finally, while spending time with the Taffy Carlisle Huffington yesterday (where a story was created for all our podcast fans....Look for it on the next episode), I was perusing her new People Magazine where my husband Matt was voted the sexiest man alive. Along with numerous other "DUH!" votes. ("Denzel? REALLY!?!? Clooney? You gotta be kidding me!!! BRAD PITT!?!? Who woulda thought......") There is a section on sexy men with scars. Anyway, Bradley Cooper is one of them, and I am putting him in the ring for consideration for "Cute Boys Of The Podcast." Taffy may know him from two of her favorite things in the world, Nip/Tuck and Wedding Crashers. He has great blue eyes, looks good with stubble and a mischevious smile. In short, I'd blow him. So what do you say? Does BC here get your CGotP vote?

Ok, So Finally A Break (or, I'm Sitting In My Underwear Right Now...)

So, the family has gone back up north, and the annual Employee Appreciate Dinner has come and gone (more on that on the next podcast). I had a crazy week at work, getting in late every night, and today is the first day in over a week in which I have nothing on the books to take care of. So, I got up early(ish), and I sat my big ass down to watch some DVRed stuff. I plan on doing nothing I don't want to today, and much of day will be spent either here in my house in my underwear, or wandering about Best Buy, looking at things I really shouldn't buy, but probably will.

Anywho....


So, I am all caught up on Dirty Sexy Money. I know Lola is a fan of the show (she and I talked about it at the Jazz Festival), and I am leaning towards really liking it. I have to say I am intrigued now, and while there are some characters I REALLY don't like (The bitch who plays Juliet? Really?) and I don't understand why they have to have emo twin boy without his shirt on every single episode, there are some characters I really like, including Nick's wife and Karen. I also think that Bryan is going to be the non-Darling child. And any show with Blair Underwood in it? Hello!
Next on the list is to catch up on The Office and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, two shows that I have really grown to love over the last few weeks. I also have the entire season (so far) of Ugly Betty, ER, Bionic Woman, Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters to watch over the next week.
I'm never going to catch up.
And yes, I know Pushing Daisies is supposed to be a great show, and No, I'm not watching it, and Yes, once I catch up on the things I already have recorded, I will try and watch it online or download the eps on iTunes.
