Whew, what a week!
Hooray - it’s Friday! I can’t tell you people (person :)) just how excited I am. First of all, I finally finished all my work for the week. Of course, I got two new projects today, but I don’t have the start them today. Well, I’m not going to start them today. Next, tomorrow is my sewing group. That’s exciting - we’re putting together our apron quilt, I think it’s going to look phenomenal. Finally, I don’t have any work (except those two new projects - but they’re small) next week because we’re going to VEGAS! Woo hoo!!!
Now for a TV update:
What’s up with the IV Real shirts on SYTYCD? I scoured the web today and the best I could come up with is a site called 4real.com…looks like celebrities and real people working for change all over the world. But here’s my question - and cut me some slack because I’m not cool, and I’m a marketeer by trade - if you’re promoting something, why not just promote it? Let’s not make it cryptic - the shirts should just say 4real.com, right? Then people would rush to the site and sign up and start changing the world because Will, Twitch and Comfort think it’s cool, 4 real.
Next, Burn Notice started yesterday. My husband and I are about to eat nestle toll house cookies and watch it. I can’t wait. Also looking forward to Flashpoint, which starts tonight I think. Then Monday is The Closer and Saving Grace!!! Woo hoo! Awesome start to my vacation.
Book update:
I read Lady Killer by Lisa Scottoline and I LOVED it. How is it that I’ve never read her books before. I was missing out! Also finished Blue Skies and Runaway Mistress by Robyn Carr - loved them both. She’s excellent. Both of those ladies write the best characters - they never have the characters saying dumb stuff or stuff that doesn’t fit. You’re never wrenched out of the story by bad writing. I sent Robyn an email, and she sent the nicest reply. She’s definitely a new fav.
I’m almost done with The Appeal by John Grisham. It’s pretty good. His writing now doesn’t even seem like the same guy that wrote The Firm, Pelican Brief and Time to Kill. But I still read them as they come out. They’re mind candy. This one seems particularly disturbing because it’s kind of inside the world of PACs and fixed judicial elections - things that already scare me.
That’s it - more tomorrow. Time for Burn Notice and cookies!

I was so disappointed when I got home last night. All day, I thought it was Wednesday, and I was super excited for the Top Chef finale. Turns out it was only Tuesday and I had nothing to watch. But today IS Wednesday - so tonight I have both Top Chef and So You Think You Can Dance.
Did you hear that Steven Tyler is in drug rehab after like 20 years of sobriety? Sad. I hope he comes through it okay and with renewed determination.
We’ve been watching In Plain Sight on USA. Pretty good, so far. I like Mary McCormick. I’m looking forward the the summer season: Mad Men, Burn Notice, The Closer, Psych, Monk, Saving Grace…good stuff. I’m not looking forward to NBC’s “American Summer” programming: Celebrity Circus, Nashville Star, America’s Got Talent. Yuck.

Saving Grace and other shows
Is anyone watching Saving Grace on TNT? I really liked the first episode, but the second one was a little wierd. I still love Holly Hunter though, so I’ll keep watching it. Plus, there’s really not much else on. So here’s the status of my TV watching right now:
Everyday:
Days of Our Lives
Uncommon Threads and Creative Juice on DIY
Mondays:
All TNT - The Closer, Heartland, and Saving Grace
Tuesdays:
Greek on ABC Family
Eureka on Sci Fi
Wednesdays:
Top Chef on Bravo
So You Think You Can Dance
Thursdays:
So You Think You Can Dance
Burn Notice on USA
Fridays:
Monk and Psych on USA
Saturdays:
Big fat nothing…I hate Saturday (for TV purposes).
Sunday:
All Lifetime: Side Order of Life, State of Mind, and Army Wives.
I guess TNT is trying to throw a wrench in my Tivo schedule this Sunday, because they’re starting a new 3-week special series called The Company that looks great. I’m going to have to figure a way around the not being able to record two cable channels at once.
I also love History Detectives on PBS. I’m not sure when it comes on - my Tivo just records it when it doesn’t conflict with anything else.
Anyone else watching something good that I’m missing out on?
