Tuesday Update

Nothing much has happened to update about. Work was OK yesterday, nothing exciting happened. A co-worker gave me a Red Bull drink that the food court had been giving away in the afternoon. I brought it home and gave it to Doug. We ate leftover spaghetti, ratatouile and salad for supper. We watched Find! and realized that twins with big feet also have big... wait you don't want to hear about that. There was nothing much on TV so we watched four different shows where the host was visiting Torino, Italy. They all went hunting for truffles and got to eat thousands of dollars worth of truffles.

Friday Update

I got off work an hour early on Thursday. That is always nice because we can get an earlier start on making supper. Last night was super yummy Hamburger Rice Hotdish.

Went to the Walmart last night. You know how you can tell you are shopping at Walmart? You see a mother and child blocking the isle 2 feet inside the door, you see at least 2 people riding the electric shopping cart your first 5 minutes in the store. And finally, you see a half crushed Bud Light can rolling around the parking lot as you leave.

My Name Is Earl was funny as always. I am starting to get into watching The Office. At times it almost gets too close to how office life can be. Kind of scary. I still don't Like Will and Grace much, too mean spirited at times.

Wednesday Update

This week is going rather fast. Last night we watched the first hour of American Idol and then we turned to Scrubs. There was actually one or two girls that sound like they may have a chance on Idol. Scrubs is the funniest show, the next funniest is My Name is Earl. Nice audio Thomas, I like it. You will have to let us know how it is done. This morning Doug got up very early. I guess that is what happens to you when you go to bed early.

Tuesday Update

Last night Doug and I watched the final episode of Dead Like Me. What a shame, they could have done so much more with the show. Now we have to find something else. Oh well American Idol is back on, although I am not really impressed with anyone they have shown auditioning yet. We also have Scrubs (Tuesday), Lost (Wednesday) and My Name Is Earl (Thursday). And the Winter Olympics will be starting soon as well.
