Big Brother night....

That's what Tuesdays and Wednesdays are in our house.. And tonight is one.. I am so glad when Tuesday rolls around. perfect TV nights. But tonight we will be taping it. We are going to one of those first time home buyers meetings. We have seen a bunch being advertised and put on byhome builders and new planned communities, but when we saw this one being presented by a small city in the area of Denver proper, we thought that they can't be shoving too much smoke up our butts. and this is an area we have been looking at homes, so if they have any good links to grants and incentives for that particular community, we are going to listen. It just sucks that theya re so long. The one we are going to says it runs from 5:30 to 9:30, straight though prime tv time, not to mention hanging with the boyfriend. But to be honest, he has been Mr. Grumpy McGrumpster lately, so maybe a meeting is just what we need.. :)
I will let you know if it was a waste of my precious Tuesday afternoon hours. But the way i look at it, even if it is something we don't want to do, we will know that, and that is more than we know right now. so it can't be all that bad. again, i will let you know if i will be eating crow tomorrow.

So, speaking of Big Brother, I personally think that Evil Dick will be on this week. for an appearance. I don't think he will stick around, but it will be fun to see the house guests' faces when he comes in. They will all be scared of him. These players this season are nothing compared to the hell that Evil Dick raised in the house last year, and HE WON!! He knew how to play and did it well.

As lasagna tends to do, it is getting better by the day. I had leftovers for lunch yesterday and they were awesome. I have some here today, but i think i am skipping lunch (i know, not healthy, but i have enough to spare, and seeing that i stopped fully working out, believe i can miss a meal and still be ok) and eating when i get home to not be hungry during the meeting.. Makes sense to me.. but don't fret, i am also not hungry right now. so, not starving myself.. believe me i love food too much to do that.

Since my boyfriend was really grumpy yesterday i did a lot of putzing around the house and ended up getting the whole extra bedroom (where i have my clothes and things) cleaned and organized. I have a stack of things to take to the goodwill. Well the one near me is an ARC. Feels good to give things to people that may want to use them. But i don't think i can give underwear. I mean they are clean and most are not even used (i got the wrong style about two years ago and they had been sitting in the back of the drawer since that fateful day).. will they? They are not in a package.. well i will check on that.

OK, enough about my under garments. here is some other interesting facts..

Today is Cagney & Lacey Day. The TV show debuted on March 25, 1982, starring Meg Foster as Chris Cagney and Tyne Daly as Mary Beth Lacey.

Let me tell you, classic TV!!!)
