tivo glitch...

so my tivo had a glitch and didn't record grey's anatomy last week. thank goodness for full episodes on the internet. my favorite quote from the episode i just watched:

"what would you prefer, meredith, chocolate cake or an std?"

so not ready...

for winter to be here. what happened to autumn/fall? it was here for like 5 minutes. then it changed last night to winter. i know, it's utah, so in 5 more minutes we'll have another day or so of summer, but still. i'm so not ready for this...

my deck isn't either...

and these little guys think it's too early, too...

talkin' turkey and tv...

apparently in my previous post, i forgot to mention one of my favorite tv shows. sherri kindly pointed it out. it's another show i'm somewhat ashamed that i follow, but watch it faithfully none the less. lipstick jungle. i love it. go watch it. and no patty, my tv isn't broken. i do indeed get the channel with pushing daisies, but i've never seen it. is it that good? maybe i'll watch it next week.

i've been working on many swaps the past few days. i repeated the pumpkin atc i previously posted, just tweaked it with different colors and paper for a swap hosted by chris (aka stinky dog!) over at the shack. she is also hosting the witch atc swap that i previously posted. and of course, i can't turn her down, so here is another addition for one of her swaps, talkin' turkey atcs. i went out of my normal comfort zone on this one. i acutally bought a quik kutz die for the first time. i didn't have any turkey stamps and couldn't find one i liked and then i saw this beauty on sale at roberts, so i got it. i can't say i loved cutting all the feathers out, but i do like how it turned out. and i improvised on the legs, since my add kicked in and i wasn't about to try and cut out all the tiny legs!!!

gobble
stamps: studio g
cardstock: morning marigold, close to cocoa, chocolate chip, pumkpin pie, really rust, patterened paper by bo bunny

tv...

i know, i know, it's such a waste of time, yadda, yadda, yadda. sitting in front of the tv for hours at a time doing being a couch potato. but come on. it's so needed sometimes!! and plus, i try and multi task and i've worked on many swaps while catching up on my shows. so i thought i'd share some of my favorite tv shows and obsessions...

my favorite new shows (that started last season...)

eli stone...i adore eli stone. he is hilarious, in an odd sort of way. and it makes me laugh. can i just share, however, that i'm not thrilled with katie holmes coming on the show. can't she go somewhere else?? i do love eli's spiritual guru too. cracks me up when he switches back and forth between his "character" as a the chinese acupuncturist and his true american born persona. and come on....they can work a season around george michael??? seriously!!

life...i love this show!!! the way charlie crews and dani reese are so perfect together!!! i know, it's a stretch on how they solve the crimes they solve, but it's very entertaining!!! it cracks me up that charlie never shuts up!!!

dirty sexy money...this is my vice. why on earth do people watch this show? it's because it's amazing that a family could be this screwed up!!! the ad thing is i'm sure there are so many people out there that do live life like this!!! i love watching the family drama between everyone. and having nick george try to keep it all together!!! it's got an odd mix in the cast, but it works well!!! and simon elder (blair underwood), uh hello!!!

and new finds this season (some new, some older):

ace of cakes...oh my hilarious. i can't get enough of duff and his crew. not to mention they make some of the most unbelievable cakes i've ever seen (or even thought could be made into or from cake!) but they are so freaking funny!! i sit and laugh every time. i still crack up when i think of duff dressed as the pink elephant driving down the street!!! i don't know how mary alice manages this whole mess!!! you can check out charm city cakes here.

dinner: impossible...ok, so i used to make so much fun of my dad for watching the food network. now it's one of my favorite stations!!! this show is great in that it's a huge race to see if the two chefs, robert and michael, can create a menu and do the challenge in the alloted amount of time. it's funny to see what they both create and what happens along the way. both of them are hilarious!

then there are my previous favorites:

• gray's anatomy
• brothers & sisters
• heros
• anything related to the real world/road rules (my true vice...i've seen every season of all of them...isn't that sad?)
• dirty jobs
• jon and kate plus 8
• biggest loser (you'd think i would have learned something by now!!)
• my name is earl
• deadliest catch
  

know you all know what i do on my days off!! catch up with the tivo!!!
