A Random Monday
July 30th, 2007 at 8:29 pm (rbp)
Is it monday still? It sure feels like it. I’m feeling quite random today so here we go:
- I hit “play” on my Tivo to watch a repeat of Gray’s Anatomy. Turns out the Scripps National Spelling Bee went long; so I’m getting to watch the last two contestents duke it out. These kids have to know how to spell non english words!! did you know that? I didn’t. The kid’s trophy is bigger than his head. I always wanted a trophy bigger than my head. (I can’t help picture it full of beer and having it dumped over his head. Maybe I’ve watched too many sports shows with trophies…)
- I’m cruising along with my Alpine Lace stole/scarf/whaddyacallit. It’s fun to knit, but hard to knit on with much else going on. I have no desire to knit on anything else than my lace scarf. This bodes well for finishing it.
- My house in Colorado still hasn’t sold. I don’t know why - it’s a beautiful house, in a great neighborhood. It’s the single biggest point of stress in my life right now and seriously pissing me off. Wanna see me twitch? Ask me how the house in Colorado is doing.
- We ran out of Harry Potter to listen to in the car. The Husband and I were listening to all the books on CD (actually on ipod since I put them on there) during our commute to prep for the latest book. We have both finished reading the last book. The Husband is re-reading the last book more slowly this time. The new book d’jour is Artemis Fowl. It’s entertaining so far; but much much shorter than Harry Potter. I already have the next book “Artemis Fowl, the Arctic Incident”; but wonder what we’ll listen to next. Any suggestions? Something light so I can listen to it while I knit and The Husband drives.
- Grey’s Anatomy finally started. I love Dr. Bailey. She’s awesome. I think I identify more with her as a working mom than I do with the frilly-overly-airheaded Meredith Gray. I also love Izzy. I wish I was as smart as she is, and as pretty. I like watching Modern Marvels too. I feel like I’m getting edumacated then.
Off to knit!

Are you guys new to Grey’s?! We got hooked in last summers reruns.
Have you thought about listening to the Golden Compas books before the movie comes out?

ooooh! Golden Compas. There was a flurry of reading of them while I was student teaching for 5th grade. I read some. Thanks, Jill, for reminding me to finish reading before the movie comes out - it looks great.
You’ll sell your house…you just need to NOT want to sell it, heh. That worked for me. This is the first day I don’t have to do anything BIG. Well, it’d be nice to put away the kitchen…the cabinets need to be parafined…then there’s the living room…let’s not forget the garage of hell. sigh. At least it’s ONLY going to be in the lower 90s. lol We definitely need a long weekend away - I’ll let you know so we can do the fiber thang.

Okay drastic measures are needed to sell the Denver house. My friend Nikki says, “buy a statue of St. Joseph and bury it upside down in the yard and your house should sell.” Buy at a Catholic.
