Jazz Virgin

Last Tuesday, my neighbor Dave called and asked me what I was doing.  He had an extra ticket to the Jazz game, and asked if I wanted to go.  Now those of you who know me, know that sports usually isn't on the top of my list for things to do, but I don't mind a good basket ball game now and then.  Needless to say, that in all my 26 years of living in Utah, I had never been to a JAZZ game (and I've probably only watched them maybe once on TV).

It was actually pretty fun.  The tickets were pretty high, but you could see the whole game from where we were.  Thanks to my neighbor Dave for taking me. 

 

Every year, I count the days dreading winter, and then when it gets here, I count the days until spring.  I do like to Ski, but it really doesn't take the place of the warm sun.  Needless to say, my whole year is living to hate the winter.  So long and cold (even though here it's only about 4 months).

Anyway on with the kids...

We decided to update the living room which requires a lot of time.  It took us about 3 days to do this, we had to sand, prime, go skiing, and then paint.  This is the boys doing their best to help.

Zack is working hard here you can tell by his tongue.

Zacky insisted on help us prime.  He's a good helper.

This is the final product.  In man terms it's brown and light blue.

This is what Evan did most the time we were painting.

Shows That Must Go

These are shows on TV which I think Should just go away (not in any order):

 

image

Yes the Bachelor.  I just don't get it.  Marriage is failing enough in the US why not make it even better and put the start on TV.

image

Yes, just as bad the Bachelorettes.  Is that really even a word?

image

Extreme Make Over Home Edition.  It's been on for probably 10 years, and every time guaranteed Ty is going to cry.  Plus they build the castles in the middle of the ghetto, nice.

image

While I know this is going to loose me tons of points on the home front, I think it should go. Super Nanny, boring!

image

Americas Got Talent.  Let's be honest here what does David Hasselhoff know about talent.   Although I will admit the tryouts are funny.

image

I have to admit when ER first started I was a very loyal fan.  It was 1994 and I was at Ricks College with nothing better to do. 

image

I know I'm not going to make any friends with this one but Law and Order and Law and Order SVU must go.  Way boring, I've tried to watch this show, and it just doens't work for me.  The biggest reason it must go is because there is basically a whole channel on (A&E I think) dedicated to this show.  Must go.

image

All I can say about this one is weak and boring. 

 

ON THE OTHER HAND THESE ARE SHOWS I THINK ROCK

I'm not going to explain why because to me it's obvious.   You can watch for yourself and decide.

In some ways this is a tribute to time wasted in doing mindless activities.  In  other ways it's also a tribute to peace of mine and the way to get through a long week.

 

I tag Suzy, Nat and B, along with anyone else who want to do this.

This is one of my personal Heroes.
