2 Steps Behind
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a magazine freak...
For whatever reason books have never really held my attention. I need variety and entertainment value. Books usually dont do that for me. Well, maybe short stories...or the books that I read Alex. It just something that I have become used to.
Until now...
I am in love with this book called "Twilight". Now I know its a few years old and probably everyone but me has read it but I dont care. Im reading it now. I kinda did it on a dare from my husband who said I might just like it if I tried it (however he couldnt convince me on meatloaf...LOL) so I bought the first book. Its crazy how I got sucked in. While I am about half way through (I would be done by now I think but a headache for the last 3 days thanks to a sinus infection put a damper on that...not to mention football on Sunday)I cant wait to get to the next time I can read it.
There are 3 more books and then it will be done but there is a movie out Dec 12 and having seen the trailers...I cant wait!!!
til next time

Minor irritations
Im back...
I have to put one little irritation out here that has been bugging me since Sunday...
The Emmy's
As a big fan of award shows, I look forward to each and every one. I love everything a good award show offers from the preshows (who are you wearing?, etc), the hosts (jon stewart does an awesome job for the Oscars) and finally the winners (who can forget Cuba Gooding Jr winning his Oscar for Jerry Mcquire?). This is something that I look forward to. I mark them on my calendar and make sure that I am home. To me there is no award show to little to keep me away...
This Sunday became my exception. The preshow on E! was fine. I enjoyed Ryan Seacrest and Guliana talking to the stars but I really could have done with out the breakaways to Jay Manual and Kristin Dos Santo who were putting in their 2 cents. Im not sure if it was a time fill or what but it was boring and pointless to me.
Then the show started...
I have never been so disappointed in an award show ever. There were 5 hosts, which while unneccssary, seemed to have promise. However, from the start, it was like a bad train wreck. A lot of it seemed unrehearsed and not relevent. It should have been a good show because it was the 60th anniversary of the Emmy's. While the premise of the history was valid it was wasted by stupid one liners and useless crap. I dont think the stars knew what to do with it either.
Since the Emmy's are usually the 1st of the season, I hope that this isnt a segway into what is coming up. Otherwise, there will be one disappointed girl on their hands.

I...
Tag your it...I got this from Becky's blog:
If you are reading this....consider yourself TAGGED!!!
I am: a mother
I think: I need to figure out what I want
I know: that I wouldnt be where I am today without the rough road I have traveled
I want: to go back to school
I wish: my Mom was here to see Alex
I hate: gossip
I miss: the way things used to be
I fear: not being the best parent
I feel: loved
I hear: Alex's cartoons
I smell: the air
I crave: chicken & pasta for dinner
I regret: nothing, cant learn if you have regrets
I love: EVERYONE!!!!
I ache: for the baby I will never have
I care: more than I should sometimes
I always: kiss Alex's nose
I am not: perfect
I believe: God has a plan for me
I sing: Always
I write: to rid myself of frustration
I win: at trivia games
I lose: at video games
I never: want to be the bad parent
I confuse: to easily sometimes
I can usually be found: at home or work
I am scared: something happening to Alex
I need: to put laundry away
I am happy about: the life that I am living because its mine to live
I hope: make all the rest of my dreams come true

For my first trick...
So I am starting a new blog...
Im not sure where this one will be taking me but I guess we will see . I may not blog often but I will try to make an effort.
Where to begin?
Well, first let me just say I am very frustrated with the Fall 08 television schedule. When did Tuesday become the new must see TV night? I only watch a few shows...okay so I watch more than a few, however, 5 of the shows that I really watch are now on Tuesday night.
House, NCIS, The Biggest Loser, Dancing with the Stars results & 90210. The worse part is they are all on the same time.
While I am on the subject...
The new 90210. Im not sure what I feel about it yet but I feel compelled to keep watching. I do like the mix of old characters with the new (Kelly is the guidence counselor, Brenda the drama director). I think though that its trying to be Gossip Girl but not as naughty. I think if they can get more guest shots with old characters it might hold some water. At least for me anyway...
I was pleased though with the reveal that Dylan is the father of Kelly's son...I didnt think that Brandon would really not be with her if they had a child together.
Next...
In other news, Alex, my wonderful almost 5 year old, is going to preschool. Its been almost a month but he seems to love it. We decided to send him not for smarts but to get the hang of going to school and to realize that he isnt always the center of attention. He got a few warnings the first time but since then he hasnt had any trouble. Im very hopeful that things will continue to go well so when its time for kindergarten it will be smooth sailing.
Jason and I just celebrated 5 months of being married. Its been going pretty good...
Still takes some getting used to the name change, sometimes I forget. However, that is getting few and far between.
We have quite the busy October upon us...Birthday parties, a wedding and Halloween. Alex decided to be Buzz Lightyear this year. Thank goodness for Ebay. I still need to find him a hat for his costume but I might have that figured out more than I think.
So I think I have rambled on enough...
until next time.
