TVing it up!

I was having a rather craptastic day, and as I started on my reading list I saw thisAlex J. Cavanugh's blogfest so I'm jumping on the bandwagon.

Without further delay, here are my 10 favorite TV shows in no particular order...

The Simpsons - I've been watching this since day one, and haven't missed an episode.

True Blood - vampires and wolves and fairies oh my!

Entourage - no need to elaborate

Seinfeld - a TV show about nothing, love it. Serenity now!

Dexter - a serial killer you can relate too

LOST - my FAVORITE show ever

Prison Break - so much eye candy in one spot, hard not to love it

Star Trek The Next Generation

Family Guy - who doesn't love Peter

House - season premier is tonight!

Big Bang Theory - Sheldon, Sheldon Sheldon


Then there is Dirty Jobs, Glee, The Biggest Loser, The Smurfs, Survivor, Repiblic of Doyle, Hellcats, Big Love, Futurama, Ren & Stimpy 6 Feet Under, and although it only started last night I think Boardwalk Empire has promise!

Out and a'boat in Newfoundland

2 days left to my vacation in Newfoundland, and then I'll get my act togeather I promise! Being around the Bay has its up and its downs. Ups - I'm HOME, downs - no WiFi for 99% of my vacation. I was driving today and got some reception and iPhone nicely told me today that I had 42 unanwsered texts. I won't tell you how may unanwsered emails I have.


This is the view from my parents front step.

The wind farm in my community (I still say it was constructed to blow the fog out to sea)


Typical foggy day laundry



The evening fog burning off the Cape


The other side of the Cape, without the fog!


Chamber Cove



There are many more shots to come, but since I only gots 2 days left, they will have to wait!

Rain Rain and more Rain

I like the rain!
I love the sound of it. It's the most beautiful natural sound. It catches my breath.
It's calming - I can sit and listen for hours.
And the smell - it's something surreal.
It's hard to explain, but there's something special in it.
I like how voilent a thunderstorm can be. How it can start and stop so suddenly.
Rain makes puddles and rainbows.
Rain feeds the flowers and makes everything clean.

This morning I dind't have class, so after dropping off my husband to work, and my daughter at school, I headed to Chapters in search of a book on stretching (found a great one, but that's not the point). With my new personal challenge, I parked at the far end of the lot, so the lots closer to the building were open for the people who were rushing around and those with children, I mean it was raining but I was not in a hurry. I wandered around for about an hour, made my slection and headed to get checked out. When I left Chapters I held open the door for 3 people, and didn't get a second glance, they just bustled on in. Ok. Home I headed for home. I opened the car and inhaled the fresh scent of rain before hopping out, weaved around the puddles and bounded up the front step, I just put the keys in the door when the soaking wet mail man turned around the side of my house, he was dripping! So, without even thinking, I told him to stay where he was, it would only take a second, ran into my house and grabbed a rain poncho out of my camping supplies. He was a little hesitant at first, but he pulled it on over his head and mail bag and off he went! I knew there was a reason I bought 6 rain ponchos for my camp kit when there are only 3 members of my family, other than the fact they were on sale for $2 each.

I spent the rest of the morning in the back yard wrapped up under the awning watching the lightening and reading my new book. Yep it was a good start to my day.

On a seperate note, I got the mark from my anatomy OSCE tonight... ROCKED IT! 92%!
