I Need Lucy

It's been a ridiculously tough week. And it's only Tuesday. If we're Facebook friends, you seen my post. About marriage. Yes, I contemplated marriage. So I could run away, from all of this. But we all know, that won't solve anything. Let's just say, it's a good thing, this man, is in Espana right now. :)

So to cheer myself up, I decided to watch a few YouTube videos tonight. More specifically, I Love Lucy. She's my favorite! This is one of my favorite episodes. And it makes me laugh every single time. I hope you enjoy it too!



So what do you do when you're having a bad week. Or when you are just feeling "down in the dumps." I watch YouTube videos, bake yummy cupcakes, and paint my nails. Anything to feel good again. Hopefully, it works tonight. ♫

The Incredible Hulk

I never watched "The Hulk." Not the movies. Not the TV show. It just didn't interest me. Not my style of TV time. But when my parents came to visit in March, my Mom found this show. OK, so the fact that I only get 2 English channels, and 6 Spanish ones, might be the reason.

My Mom was looking for something to watch on TV. It was already getting warm outside. OK, it was HOT! And we were looking for something to do. My Dad was taking nap. We found "The Incredible Hulk" on RTV.



My Mom was so excited. She watched every single day, while they were at my house. And I have to admit it, it was a pretty good show. A few times in the next weeks, I watched. And well, I became a fan.

Yes, I work. And 90% of the time, I'm not at home in the middle of the afternoon. But those few days, that I was home, I watched. Yes, I was becoming a fan.

Well, recently, the schedule was changed. Some "Western" now comes out. Ugh! And I was really starting to like this show. But what can you do? I did enjoy it for the last 3 months or so. ♫

Abby Cababby

If you are a parent, or spend time with little ones, you'll know who Abby Cadabby is. She is one of the characters from Sesame Street. She is Mi Princesa's favorite character to be exact! And I'm trying to come up with some craft ideas. All based on Miss Abby Cadabby. Something to make for Halloween. And I'm coming up empty handed. Please leave me some suggestions. I could really use them... ♫

Now What?

I finally watched last weeks episode of House. It was amazing! I'm still in shock that House and Cuddy are a couple. Something tells me, this is going to be a fun season. And very unexpected. Is it just me, or is it weird that House is actually somewhat happy?

Hmmm, it makes me wonder what is in store for this season. Honestly, I'm pretty excited about this show. I just hope that it doesn't disappoint. Because it's off to a very good start. Funny how I only found House about a year ago. Now, I can't get enough of it!

I just hope I get to watch tonight. I usually catch all my favorite shows online. Days or weeks after they air. But I'm almost as excited about tonight's episode, as I am about Grey's Anatomy. Oh, and there is no need to point out the obvious. I like medical dramas. ♫

Hoarders

Have you ever watched the show Hoarders? I have an insane need to watch it. I don't know why. But I just have to watch it. There is something about the people who suffer from this illness, and the professionals who try to help. The fact that many people, know this behavior is wrong. But they just can't make the changes on their own. I don't have cable. So I watch it here.



This week the episodes were a little crazy. OK, they were really nuts! Teri and her family, I just felt so bad for them. And Kerry, honestly, the man broke my heart. The couple lives in Hawaii. And Teri is in so much denial. Even though most of their home is unusable. And their children have to sleep with them. The couple has 2 young children. And CPS was called. It was honestly a sad situation. But I do think this family has some hope. They made some big changes during the time of filming. Adella, she has no business living alone. We all knew she would be right back there again. Honestly, she had already lost one home. Did we think the situation would improve? I have little to no hope, that a real change will happen.

Gordon and Gaye, well I'm speechless. They are given just over 72 hours to clean up and repair their home. Or else it would be condemned by the city. The family gets crazy. They blame everyone else for their issues. And don't want to continue forward. But the authorities know about their hoard. And Sir Patrick, I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like him. His home is completely stuffed with everything and anything you can imagine. He believes that all his stuff is valuable. Treasures. Even though most of his collection, really isn't worth much. It's just "junk."

Hoarders both disgusts me, and makes my heart break. If you really watch the show, you know what I mean. It's about way more than the mess. Most of these people have so many issues. Lots of mental issues. Most of the women have been sexually abused. The hoard is generally about protecting oneself. Or feeling less lonely.

The mess is never really about the mess. There is always something else going on. This show really takes you in, and makes you a part of it. If you haven't seen it yet, I would recommend watching an episode or two. ♫

Dateline

I miss Dateline! I used to watch it. You know, every week! What twice a week? I think that's how many times it comes out. But the point is, I miss it! A lot!

You see, after the whole TV conversion thing last summer, our local NBC station's signal is for the birds! I don't get NBC anymore! Oh and the whole recording shows...well that's out the window too! But I at least get to watch my favorite ABC shows online.

But our NBC station, it saddens me so! I have to record "The Biggest Loser" at J's house. Because I have to watch it for school. But Dateline, oh how I miss you! I LOVED your stories! And I LOVE Keith Morrison...



Looks like I'm not the only one. :) But don't judge me. I like the way he tells a story. I first thought his voice was a bit creepy. Then it was soothing. My best naps came when I was falling asleep to some story he was telling. Sure it had to do with murder, but I slept like a baby. I know. Weird. But it's true. And I miss his story telling. I wish our local NBC station would get it together already! ♫

The Electric Company

Do you remember The Electric Company? I don't. It came out in the 70s. That's before I was born. But I've heard some people talk about it. My Mom is always telling me how my brother and sister watched it.



And then, it was cancelled. I'm thinking that Sesame Street probably killed The Electric Company. Anyway, it's back. And on PBS.



If you are like me, you might catch it on TV. Or you can find it on YouTube. They have a few episodes posted.



And how do I know about it? Because some of my Goddaughters and I sat and watched it the other day. It's actually a good show. I know. Surprise, surprise. But I really did enjoy it. As did the cutie patootie little girls I was hanging out with. So did you used to watch it? Or are you a new fan too? ♫

Little Dorrit

Last year, I watched Little Dorrit on PBS. Yes, I spent my summer, on Sunday nights, watching Little Dorrit. I read the book in high school. And I really enjoyed it.

I absolutely LOVED watching the movie. It was shown in 90 minute episodes. And was amazing! I would anxiously wait for Sunday nights. If I was working, I'd watch it online.

Then when it was over, I heard that the movie was being sold at Target. I really wanted it. But I never bought it. I have the book. But this movie, Little Dorrit, is on my "Wishlist." That is how much I LOVED watching it!!! ♫
