I don't watch a great number of shows on a regular basis, but those that I do watch, I definitely don't miss them. I watch them online if my stations aren't coming in very well (stupid digital TV) or if I have something to do. Lately, it seems most of what we have to choose from is Reality TV. I know some of the shows I watch are really stupid and dramatic, but I can't help but enjoy them. A lot of the shows I watch, I really like to pay attention to the clothes and makeup of the stars and just the fashion overall. We have to get new inspirations since SATC no longer has new episodes. I realize this may make me lame, but when life gets you down, you gotta have something to look forward to!
These are the shows I watch, in no particular order:
1. Desperate Housewives
2. Modern Family
3. The Office
4. The Biggest Loser
5. The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad
6. The Voice
7. Brothers and Sisters (just ended this past season)
Shows I would probably almost always watch if I had cable:
1. What Not to Wear
2. Most shows wedding related
3. Home decorating shows

Miss You
This has been quite an emotional week already. Monday morning I learned that a dear friend from Miami passed away. It's been hard to think of much else since then. I met Corrine my sophomore year of college and quickly became pretty close. She was always someone I could talk to as a student, after I left Miami and when I came back as staff. This news was so shocking, it was always her husband who was going in for another heart procedure. Corrine always had a smile on her face and said things straight up, she was nice to my friends and family and she felt like family to me. She's been the secretary in the Miami Men's Basketball office for the past 26 years and will be missed by so very many people. I wish that I could be there for the services, but everything was so soon and I couldn't make it happen. She wouldn't have wanted people to make a big fuss over her anyway. But this week and always she'll be in my thoughts. Love you, girl!

Happy Easter
It's about that time, for another post. Happy Easter everybody. Still truckin' here in Austin. Wish I could have been with my family today. I went to a great service this morning at Riverbend Church. The music there is just amazing and the sermon was good too, about 1 Corintians 1. My kitties are sitting here with me now, surprising that they are both on the same couch during the day, just napping. Normally one is in the closet or under the bed or something. Guess they are really starting to come around. Bette Davis (the little one) really likes me now and always comes to me when I am home and she's become really friendly. Daisy (the orange one) doesn't like me as much, except when the food dish is empty. She's still nice though and lets me pet her. I bet that eventually we will seem like a family.
This week though, there were two incidents of bad cats in the middle of the night. Tuesday, I woke up to find a broken glass jar all over the steps that previously held sand and shells from a beach I went to...what a mess! Wednesday, I woke up to find my flip flops with many many teeth marks in them. Tally used to chew flip flops all the time, so I knew to put them up high where she couldn't get them every time I took them off. These cats never seemed to go near them, so I didn't think it would be a problem. Well, I left them out and of course the next morning they were all chewed up. :-( I thought my days of ruined flip flops were gone! At least now I have an excuse to shop for new ones!
In sad news, I just read that Dr. Shriver passed away last night. He was former President of Miami University and a wonderful guy! I'd met him several times, I worked with his daughter for a long time at Miami and his son was our announcer, so I worked with him at all of our home events. I feel sad for their family! They were all really close. He will be missed along with all his Miami history stories that he told.

Pilates
I just did a pilates video for the first time in a LONG time. Hopefully I can do it more than once! And, my friend just gave me the newest Lifehouse CD for my birthday. I don't know how I put off getting it for so long...it was out in the fall. I'm going to be rocking out to that until I learn the whole thing!

New Post
There's not much for me to say, but figured I'll write something for my standard once a month post. Ha. I did get a couch, finally decided on one. It's way too big for my apartment, but it's nice to have a plethora of places to sit. I wish it was a little more cushy, but it's the best in that style that I could afford. I've been hitting the job search a lot harder lately, but still haven't heard much. I just really want to work in an office and a full time job would be really nice. It's hard not to be discouraged, but I've been watching some movies and playing spades online to keep from dwelling on things. It's been pretty stressful though since my main job is so far behind on paying me. I've already had to resort to tapping into my savings account. I just have to believe that there is something out there and keep applying.
I got two new kitties and they are pretty much worthless. Having them makes me miss Tally even more b/c she was a good cat, aside from her obvious problems. She laid on my lap, slept with me, talked to me, needed me and just loved me in general. These cats have been with me a month and still aren't warmed up. For a long time they were just called, the Fat One and the Little One, or the Orange One and the Dark One. The previous owner gave them dumb names (my opinion of course) so I waited awhile to name them. The Little One still doesn't have a name b/c she's been a bitch and rarely comes out of the closet. Miracle today though! She let me pet her and pick her up!!! This is definitely a first. Most of the time when I see her or talk to her she just stares and acts like I'm going to kill her. If only she knew I just wanted to pet her! Today was huge though....maybe she'll come around eventually. She might even be partially blind. Her pupils are almost always fully dilated, so maybe she only sees some movement. That would explain why she's so scared in a new environment, I guess. The Big One, now named Daisy has been more friendly and asks for pets even though she spends most of her time under the bed or in the closet. She talks a lot too, or I should say quacks b/c she sounds like a duck. That's how I named her, Daisy for Daisy Duck. At first it was going to be Daffy Duck until my mom pointed out that Daffy is a boy and the whole point of renaming these cats is for them to actually have gender appropriate names this time around. Some people may think it's wrong to rename eight year old cats, but do they really know their names anyway? If they did, they should be glad to get new ones! I just really wish that they were more cuddly and cared when I got home from work or watched TV with me or something. That's what cats are for! Hopefully I didn't get a couple of bad seeds. Ugh. They are pretty cute, but they just don't feel like mine yet...I suppose we'll get there eventually.
