First Watch 2010

“Please don’t snow. Please don’t snow. Please don’t snow.”
“If it does…. snow enough that I don’t have to work anymore this week, but not enough to knock out my internet.
This I pray, Amen!”

 

Losing Dish Network is a given. It goes off every time it rains heavy. That is normal, right? I mean normal for satellite reception. (Had to do a Google search. I cracked up when I found the following items.)

Dish Wedgie - Dish Hoodie - Dish Skinz - DishWraps - DishRags

 

 I wonder if these work.

 

Does anyone out there use protection?

 

 

 

I was saddened by the departure of Lance Smith on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown at the end of last year. Lance was hilarious as the host of this show for the past eight years. I couldn’t imagine anyone stepping into his shoes. Kudos to CMT for replacing him with sexy Evan Farmer. Evan is the perfect choice. I loved him as the host of TLC’s While You Were Out.

Bye, bye Ugly Betty. I never “got you” and didn’t understand what others saw in you in, but to each his own. You leaving will open a time slot that ABC will probably fill with something else I don’t “get.” Because nobody asked me… like they should, because I would be great at that job. Cavemen…seriously. Leno at an earlier time…no way.

My latest TV find is American Pickers on the History Channel. Two guys rummage through old barns looking for items they can sell…or add to their collections.

Hubby hasn’t stopped talking about the “dressing down” that Lucky Spencer gave Elizabeth on General Hospital earlier this week. I can’t remember the last time he has enjoyed seeing someone else "get what’s coming to them" like that. Must have been back in his city council days.

We’re liking the new Lucky, played by Jonathan Jackson. Well actually, he is the old Lucky, because he played this role years ago. Not sure hunky Greg Vaughan would have pulled these scenes off as dramatically.

Over on Y&R, the new Tucker McCall character is now being played by Stephen Nichols. I recognized him immediately as the evil Stefan Cassadine from GH. I also knew he had been on another soap I used to watch. It wasn’t until he walked into a room wearing sunglasses that I shouted out, “oh yeah, Patch from Days.” See Patch wore a patch over one eye….
Too funny.

Only two more weekends till Daytona! Be still my heart.
I’ll fill the waiting time with guest appearances by NASCAR drivers on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader this week on CMT but Not the 24/7 Jimmie Johnson show on HBO. I get enough of him during the season.

Good grief, I hope my hubby doesn't see the OU dish cover. He'll be buying it and the neighbors will either shoot it down or spray paint it orange!

We have unprotected TV...don't think I want to climb to the peak of the roof just to advertise for somebody.

I'm not real sure about the CMT Countdown replacement. His voice is too nasely...didn't watch the TLC program, but I'm sure he'll wear on me. Lance was just too good.
