Football, Football, Football!!!

Sunday morning, Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening, Monday evening, and... coming soon, Thursday evening ---- football on television. Now, don't misunderstand me, I love the Chicago Bears and I am happy when their games are televised but there are some games that are not exactly important to us that we end up watching just "because it's on". If we added in College ball we would then have Saturday afternoon as well - which I found John watching this past Saturday. Since when does he watch College ball? And, get this, he has now started watching Canadian Football League even when the Montréal Alouettes aren't playing. What is going on? Do men just watch it all no matter what league, what team??? Really, just ribbing my husband!!!

Enjoy Your Weekend!

We All Need A Good Laugh

Remember this skit on the Carol Burnett Show? One of the funniest skits ever. Tim Conway improvises most of the skit and Harvey totally breaks up. A real classic moment in comedy. We should all laugh hard and enjoy ourselves. Laughing is great medicine for whatever ails you. Take a few couple of minutes and watch... and laugh.

Housework

Vertigo has caused some interesting problems for us. My very dear, sweet, hardworking husband now must do almost all the housework. I am able to do light dusting and polishing, as long as I do not have to look to far up or down. I also do our laundry although getting things out of the back of the dryer can be difficult some days. Vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping are definitely not for me; all that looking down is disastrous. So, I go through life with my eyes forward - not bad, actually!

Madame Liberty

The mid-term elections are over. Almost all the results are in. The American people are blessed with the privilege of being able to vote. They have let their representatives know their approval or disapproval of their work - this is their job evaluation. Some, sadly, have lost their jobs and others have kept theirs. Whatever the results and however each one of us feels about those results - the American people have spoken. We can only pray that the new Congress will work together, regardless of party, for the benefit of the American people, their employers. I really think they forget who is the employer and who is the employee and that has nothing to do with party and everything to do with arrogance.

To Paint Or Not To Paint, That Is The Question.

When you spend most of your day sitting in a chair in the same room, in this case our living room, you have a tendency to look at everything in much more detail and with a critical eye. Vertigo has slowed down my life, almost to a halt, and so I spend a vast amount of time in a mission-style recliner in our great room. I have been thinking, and thinking, about the paint colors in that room, kitchen, dining, and entry. Because of the chair placement, I can see portions of all these areas. We have a very wide open area with gorgeous vaulted ceilings - lots for the eye to look at. I have been pondering our color choices, as John can certainly tell you, and talking about it for almost a year now. One of these days I will make a decision in the meantime; hmm...
