Sunday 'N Stuff

My first day off at home has been productive.  We woke up this morning and watched CBS Sunday Morning (my favorite weekend show,) then got right to work.  Several hours later, we were all getting short with each other, but the house was clean.  It's awesome to sit in a clean house.

After lunch, we headed out to see what Mom and Dad were up to.  After all, we didn't go in last night when we picked up Hawkeye.  Mom was messing with Libby, and Dad was doing some kind of manly thing with some manly equipment while standing on the manly forks of the manly tractor.  That means I'm not sure what he was doing.

It must have been interesting, though, because Kevin stayed out there the whole time we were there!  It was -46°!  Well, maybe not THAT cold, but it was cold.  I even rushed the girls through their rides, because I wanted to go inside.

I watched the Colts lose, and I watched the Cowboys lose.  *sigh*  I should be used to it by now, since I live in Chiefs country.  I'm just so sad for Peyton.  I guess now I can hope for the Patriots to continue breaking records.

I guess I'll go watch my usual ABC shows now.  It's nice to catch a new episode every now and then, and Brothers and Sisters is new tonight.  Even the Golden Globes have been canceled.

OK, I have an idea for a new reality show.  People will compete to write TV programming.  New shows, existing shows, whatever.  The winner gets a contract, and the viewers win, too!

Maybe not.  Maybe we should all just deal with it.

Oh, and Kevin and I realized something tonight.  For the first time in many years, I will be home on Super Bowl Sunday!  I can't believe it!  I'm going to throw a HUGE Super Bowl party.  I'm not going to invite anyone over (other than maybe Mom and Dad) but I'mgoing to have a HUGE party for us.  In celebration of me being home on that day.

Yeah.  A party.  That's the ticket.  Go Chiefs!  Ooops, they've been out of it for several weeks.  Let me see, Go Patriots!  That's better.

I'm so pleased with Blue behaving like he does for the girls!  One of these days they'll be able to saddle up for themselves and go for a ride.

Well, You could always come here for the superbowl.   I don't have a big screen but the weather will be nice.   I think that is a good idea you have about competition for the writing jobs that are available.  I say, they have had it too good and the television isn't all that great.  So bring on some new writers.   Anne
