Good Morning everyone...just getting out of bed and trying to decide what I should do today. part of me wants to go back to bed and be lazy before i go back to work in the morning. But I need to get chores done...

I have the tv on and just now I saw the cereal commercial where the women is taking down her decorations and she turns around and santa's sleigh and reigndeer are behind her because she had too many holiday snacks and needs to drop a few pounds...I love it when they play those kinds of commercials all winter long. hope everyone has a good sunday!

I am watching Battle of the Bulbs right now and the Christmas commercials make me long for the season right now.

Whew....finally....all caught up from Friday til now. Friday and Saturday were long days....ballgames take me all over the place this time of year. With four teams, it seems someone is playing everyday except for Wednesday! Well, that was the case this week and will be next week, too! Only thing is this week there is a Wednesday night meeting that I have to be at. So, that means no nights at home for me this week....my next night at home will be next Sunday. The good news is all of that time is usually spent with kids. If you are going to be away from home, you might as well be with kids....

Better get the DVR fired up. Speed will have some coverage of the daytona test sessions on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The Barrett Jackson auction is also this week. The big car on Saturday night is going to be the ambulance that picked up JFK's coffin at Andrew's air force base and transported it around Washington.

Its okay though, I brightened things up by putting my Valentines Decorations up.

I kind of forgot about getting mine out. I will have to add that to my list for this afternoon.

Good morn...I mean afternoon,

I spent the morning taking down my 6 ft tree and taking down all the decorations in the house except for 1 room, another week...maybe 2 that may be pushing it. It is so depressing seeing the bare wall where the tree use to be, and that is why I couldn't do the other tree today, I can't quit Christmas cold turkey got to do it gradually. It will be awhile before I can take the outdoor decorations down they are under 2 feet of snow or frozen to the ground.
Have a good Sunday!

I'm still caught up in a New Year clean-a-thon although I spread it out over several weekends so I don't shock myself. Don't have enough storage left to buy anything new so I have to part with some old clothes (they're too big anyway) and things I haven't taken out of storage to use in the last two years.

O'Malley is supervising to ensure I don't throw anything of his out.

Have a great day and keep a merry thought in your head!

Interesting, same thing is happening around here past couple of weeks. Not getting to work so decided time to make more room and get rid of a few things
Well so far not got rid of much but am making room it seems. Still not use yet to the drafting table being in the office but I will get over it.
See the real problem is the more Christmas stuff I keep buying then it's more that I have to either keep out or put up. Will post a few pictures of the office in a bit so you get the idea what I am talking about. Bought 5 large tubs thinking it would get me through the cleanup and reorganization. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA boy was I ever wrong. Ahhhh but I love it all. (Just not sure where to put it all)

Will post office pictures later want to take new ones. Old pictures missing a lot of new things.

Okay new topic to discuss. Who is going to watch Idol this year? I keep saying that I am not going to but I always end up watching it. I will have to at least tune in to the first couple of episodes to see how the new judges are working out.

I have never been a fan of the show, and when you have a judge that performs the Star Spangled Banner like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhFgNoRIOI8&feature=related I really have no interest.

Ok....so here is the deal....

I always start off watching it. The first few weeks are really entertaining, but when the time changes and it starts warming up outside, I usually do more outside. I'm pretty sure they don't as good numbers during that time either...sometimes I just think they drag it out a little too much.

With that being said, I plan on watching. I just wish 24 was coming on with it!

Sorry but I just don't watch what I call regular TV. Such as ABC, NBC, CBS, and so forth. In fact outside of Christmas Shows, Nascar, Indy Car, or some other race, I seldom have anything on other than a movie channel when the TV is on.
I am so sick of TV commercials blaring in my face every 5 minutes. So sick that these commercials think I am an idot. As well as sick of all the drug ads telling me I have some sort of a dysfunctional event taking place in my body. We the consumer pay dearly for these ads everytime we go to the store. Just think how much cheaper things would be if there was way less ads.
Plus as I agree with xmas365 about that one person. Actors are public people because they choose to be. So they should act like a normal person and show respect to us as well and to our country. If not I can choose to not watch or support then in anyway.
