Tonight at 7

Ahhh! I am falling behind today and will be so sad if I don't get a list up here. It feels like I am not the only one. Everybody I have spoken with recently has shared the same sentiment. There is just not enough time to get everything done in a day. Pete and Hans have started our seeds for this years vegetable garden. We composted last year and had some great compost to add when we turned the soil. I am really excited to see what will come up this year. I worked a little on the front yard but then I realized that Easter is in March and not April and I had big plans for some new Easter outfits. When will I fit in all the TV watching that fell behind from vacation? I don't really watch that much TV, the kids take care of that. Hans and Olive mostly just watch Spongebob. It is on in the morning, right when Oscar is getting ready to leave for school so it is a convenient distraction.There are some shows we love to watch together. Planet Earth, Dirty Jobs, Cash Cab. Pete and I both have a hard time even listening to some of the shows Siobhan and Oscar will watch. Hannah Montana, Drake and Josh, Suite Life of Zach and Cody. My grandma was a huge TV watcher. She didn't drive or work outside the home and she lived for her stories. Ryans Hope, All my Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital. Those were staples. It was not even a consideration to ask if she would like to go out between the hours of Eleven and Three. I remember Laverne and Shirley, Barney, Mamas Family and Alice being regulars in the later afternoon. I'll still watch those shows just for the feeling of Grandmas house it will give me. So, I guess it's pretty obvious what this weeks list is. What are your favorite TV shows? This is another one that if I go back a ways I can probably rack up quite a list, so here's my five......

#1. First I would say any British comedy. My favorite is Are You Being Served?, another Grandmas house favorite. I also love As Time Goes By, To the Manor Born, Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine. All of them. My favorite time of night for years was between 10 and 11pm when everyone was asleep and it was Brit Com hour in Salt Lake. I miss that.

#2. No Reservations. This one Pete and I watch together. I like Anthony Bourdains sense of humor and the a lot of the food looks so good. That has always been something I have always loved about Pete. He would watch cooking shows and then the next day make what he saw. He is a lot of fun to cook with.

#3. A Haunting. My Mom and I found that we both watched this and it was fun to discuss episodes with her. I do believe in ghosts and this show scares and fascinates me at the same time.

#4. The Office both British and American versions. I think I may have enjoyed the BBC Office a teensy bit more. I loved this series. Ricky Gervais is a pure genius.

#5. I think the TV show that Pete and I may have enjoyed the most together is My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss. Just like most of our favorite shows(Arrested Development,sure to be on Petes list) it was cancelled and we were never able to finish the season. I loved this show. It was hilarious. It was a reality show that contestants were competing for a position with a large corporation that was completely bogus. I guess I just don't have that much sympathy for reality show "celebrities" because I could not stop laughing at these poor people. The things they would put up with for a chance to work for someone they knew nothing about. The catch phrase became a staple for Pete and I,Get the hell out of my office!!
