T.V.

I decided that I fall asleep much more easily when watching T.V. Why you ask? My brain goes blank and I'm no longer thinking a mile a minute. It's lovely to sleep. Thanks to the T.V. for helping my learn how to not use my head.

Music

I have so many memories that are tied to certain songs. Some songs remind me of friends, while others remind me of old relationships, and more importantly my permanent one :) ( love you hubby) - some hold happy memories and others are sad. This weekend we flew to Missouri for a funeral. We sang a song there that now holds both happy and sad memories. Music is powerful. I'm grateful for it.

Biggest Loser

Have any of you seen "The Biggest Loser"? I came upon it for the first time last week. After two minutes, I was crying. Five minutes later, I cried again. This happened every 2-5 minutues. Small tears pooling. I mean I'm not balling or anything, but I definitely feel a hiccup of "cry" that is about to burst out of my throat, but I don't let it loose completley. Two reasons: I don't feel like balling when it really is so happy, and my eyes blow up like swollen grapes when I cry. Not pretty. But I find that show very touching and motivational none the less.

Music

I love the music in different i phone, phone commercials. The tunes are really catchy and make me want to dance. Very effective way of getting people's attention.

Facebook

Dear facebook,

I hate you at times. However, I love looking at friend's pictures and seeing what they're doing to entertain themselves. People have very interesting lives. Facebook is good because it keeps me in contact with people that I may otherwise have lost contact with. However, my eyes begin to burn every time I log on. Hint to self? Who knows.

Three Cups of Tea

Reading is such a wonderful way to relax and enjoy time to yourself. I recently just finished the book " Three Cups of Tea." Everyone should read it. It really opened my eyes to the reality of what life is like for the people in Pakistan and other surrounding areas, as well as instilling in me a greater desire to do something in the life that will truly help those who are less fortunate. I have been toying with the idea of going on a medical "mission" one day with my husband (after he becomes a doctor) for a few weeks to a South American country to help out with health and education. Now I really feel it is something we not only should do, but something that is possible.

NFL Playoffs

The NFL playoffs have just started. Yesterday I walked into the living room and found my husband watching one of the playoff games. Did I have any idea who was playing?No. Did I care at all about who would win? No. Yet after five minutes, I found myself right next to him on the couch, with my emotions completely immersed in this football game. When I say completely immersed, I mean I was rooting for the team who I thought had the best looking uniforms. Regardless, I spent the next 2 hours watching a game that really meant nothing to me. Now, I could have thought " I just wasted 2 hours of my Saturday watching a meaningless football game. But when it all comes down to it, I was able to spend 2 solid hours bonding with my husband, over a game that meant something to him. 

Bachelor

So the Bachelor has once again managed to occupy my Monday nights. I have such a love/hate relationship with this show. When it's over, I feel so relieved and can't wait to have my Monday nights open again. However, I can't keep myself from watching it in the first place. Pathetic, right? I know, I know. I just can't help it ( well I can but it' just so darn entertaining and it drives me nuts!)
