  1. Here's hoping for a boring, uneventful news week.

  2. Watching the pilot for Once Upon a Time. Does the acting and dialogue get better?

    1. Dana

      We didn't think so, although I know a number of people really enjoy it.

      Not really, but I like it anyways!

      I like the premise but am not so sure about the execution of the idea. I'll give it a few episodes at least.

  3. Sometimes I want to smack Nurse Jenny on Call the Midwife.

  4. aklhakegbahlgh. That's pretty much my mind now after waking up at 3 last night and not being able to get back to sleep.

      :(. Hope you have a better night tonight!

       

  5. Is anyone watching Mr. Selfridge on PBS Masterpiece? I saw part of the pilot episode and am wondering whether to stick with it.

  6. Here's another regional pronunciation question: Do you say "shone" so it rhymes with shown--or so it sounds like shawn?

      Short 'o'. I'm Australian, so British pronunciation.

  7. Trying to decide on a camera bag is almost as vexing as choosing an iPad case was. Too many choices, and the ones I like best are shockingly expensive.

  8. So many cleaning projects today that I don't know where to start.

      I felt the same way! I actually wrote 6 rooms on the 6 sides of a die and left it up to chance! :)

  9. I accidentally just used the word "tricksy" at work. At least I didn't talk about the nasty Hobbitses.

  10. DH is "cleaning up" our big bookshelf, and it's stressing me out. We do have books we should probably give away, but getting rid of books makes me twitchy.

      It would make me twitchy too. *twitchtwitch*

  11. Cats do not make good workout partners, especially when they keep walking under you when you're doing a push-up.

      Lovely, "helpful" little creatures aren't they? :) Mine both like to walk under me during pushups as well as try to sit on my chest and give "kisses" during crunches.

      And yet people are always saying how aloof they are.

      LOL, sounds like my workout buddy - our dog.

  12. Why can't I find a girl's half-slip anywhere? Do kids not wear them anymore?

      Maybe try Von Maur or Bergners, Macys.

      Thanks, RootAnn! I was just at Target and didn't see any, but I didn't think about checking their online-only items.

      I've had good luck at Sears.

  13. A week ago we broke a record with mid-80s temps. Now we're in a "winter" storm watch. Can I just hibernate until it's spring for real?

  15. I'm pathetic at filling out my NCAA bracket. My heart always beats my head.

      Oh thank you. My son is not the only one excited that today is the ides LOL!

  18. Don't forget to spring forward.

  19. How can they end The Hour like that and then cancel the show?!

  20. My knees sound like Snap, Crackle, and Pop when I exercise. Not painful, but distracting.

    1. mommymilkies

      mommymilkies

      Arthritis? That makes mine crackle. Make sure you don't extend your knees past your toes. And Katy Bowman's knee strengthened have helped mine tons!

      I don't have arthritis that I know of.

  21. If you've been meaning to watch Downton Abbey S3 on PBS online, do it soon. All seven episodes are available but won't be after Sunday, March 3.

      I don't think these websites will be pulled of the episodes (also free):
