Friday Fragments

Yes it is another edition of Friday Fragments. The best way to end the work week.


We have one item off the home improvement list...fix the ice maker in the fridge. Of course that still leaves three pages of other things. But we should go order the door this weekend.

Stupid criminal this week is from Columbia (the country). Seems as if three men tried to rob a grocery store but their getaway vehicle was a little loud and woke up the neighbors. You ask what was the vehicle...why a donkey of course. You just can't make this stuff up people.

I'm not going to talk about weather because we are lucky. Other than Thursday all week was in the 50-60 range. I would like rain however. Pretty please.

Oh my, Glee did the big butt song. I've heard the crooner version before but this was ten times worse. And I think it was one of the worst episodes that they have ever done.

I hit Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday after getting my hair done and they still had some Christmas clearance stuff. I got two cute snowman soap dispensers for 60 cents each. They had Yankee Candles in the fall and winter smells 50% off but they still are so darn expensive. I'm going to wait to see if they come down in price some more and then I'll get some.

I broke my comb this morning. Do you think that is a sign?

Have a great weekend.

The October Version of TV Reviews

So most of the shows have started up (except for Nashville, that's tonight). Because I don't have anything else to talk about and I'm sure you are waiting for my opinions on the fall season, here you go.

Scripted Shows

Revenge - AWESOME! Only two episodes into the year and I am counting the days until the next one. That's always a good sign. If you haven't seen this, think GOOD night time soap opera. Because it really is one.

Person of Interest - I was worried second season wouldn't start off well but I was wrong. Another great show if you need something to watch. It makes you think and has just enough based on reality to make you wonder if there is something out there like the machine.

Glee - Worried about this one. Although the last episode was redeeming it is now off for a month because of baseball. If it continues like the last episode great. If not, I may have to pass.

Once Upon A Time - yes a new entry to my normal watching. Whitney got me watching it and it comes on right before Revenge. If I miss one, it would be ok, but they sure have some great costumes and scenery in Fairy Tale Land.


Unscripted Shows (In Other Words Reality TV)

Project Runway - season almost over. I'm on Team Christopher or Melissa for the win. After this is over they are having another All Stars which I won't watch. Although our local contestant (Kayne Gillespie) is on it.

Amazing Race - this one gets DVR'd and I watch it when I can. I hate the food roadblocks and please make them do something. While the bull racing was fun to watch this week all the racers had to do was ride on the back of a motorcycle that someone else was driving. BORING.

Dancing with the Stars - I tried to watch this since it was All-stars and I'm a sucker for that. But this week's results show that continues to have the crappy dancers staying on (yes I'm talking to you Kirstie and Bristol) have ruined the show. Bye Bye Bye.

Top Chef - about to start new season. Yes I'll be watching.


Daytime TV

The Chew - yes I DVR this every day so I can watch it when I get home. I skip a lot of it but there is great chemistry among the hosts (except for Mario who I'm not sure why he is there). I've never cooked any of their dishes but I enjoy them. Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall and Michael Symon can come visit me any day.

Friday Fragments - Goodbye September

It's Friday Fragments time. Joining up with Mrs. 4444 to put those random tidbits in my brain to good use.



Stupid criminal of the day was the guy who tried to carjack a Porsche but didn't know how to drive a stick shift. Needless to say he didn't get far before being arrested.

Fall is trying to come to Oklahoma. It rained yesterday (thank you) and it isn't 100 degrees. However the humidity is so high the windows are fogging up as I drive to work in the morning. Oh well, I can live with that.

My Thursday nights have gotten so packed with stuff. I joined a bible study, I have three tv shows on at the same time (thank goodness one repeats later so I can dvr them all), wine tasting after work. Phew. I did watch one of the shows when I got home but still have two left. I think maybe at lunch today I'll watch one at work.

Speaking of tv, I'm undecided if I'm trying any new shows this season. The only one I'm thinking about is Nashville but it doesn't start for a couple of weeks.

Revenge starts up on Sunday night. Glee has been on for three weeks and I'm starting to lose my interest. Has it "jumped the shark"? If you haven't heard that term, then you need to Wiki it.

I got sucked into watching Dancing with the Stars. I just can't resist All-Stars versions of stuff. I just heard that Project Runway was doing a second season of allstars. Our local boy Kayne is going to be back on it. I might have to watch it for him.

We were successful in eating out of the freezer this week and I now have a few empty spaces there. I can cook this weekend and have a place to put leftovers. Now just to decide what it is to make.

Life at a small school...Whitney decided to quit her job a couple of weeks ago. She applied for one job, within two hours had an interview set up. Ten minute interview and she starts on Monday.

Have a great weekend everyone!
