Jim and I aren't big movie watchers. We don't even own a DVD player. If we ever want to watch a DVD, which is usually a comedy from the 90's, we pop it into the PS2.
Well I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, which is what True Blood is based off of, so of course now I want to actually see the show. We don't have HBO either so that was a no go. I looked into how much the first season costs on DVD and it was like $40. No thanks.
Soooooooo, I realized it would be much cheaper for me to sign up for Netflix than to buy the season DVDs. And then since we have the Wii, we can instantly get shows/movies through that. Although I've heard that selection isn't that great. I haven't really checked it out yet.
Whatever, I was just super excited to watch the first two True Blood episodes last night!! And who knows, maybe we'll actually start watching some movies.

it's been forever
I know, I know...it's been forever since I've posted anything, and for some reason it seems like I don't have time, but I guess I've just been preoccupied with life.
Here's what's been keeping me busy...
- my new camera which includes borrowing other lenses to see what works for me and playing around with all the different settings
- figuring out all that photoshop elements has to offer
- class at work which has me getting up earlier than I'm used to
- sitting on my butt and watching TV because I'm too tired since I've been getting up earlier than I'm used to
- working out
- busy weekends
- family stuff
Can I just say TGIF! This week has been brutal! And holy crap it's windy out right now!

Stupid Superbowl!
So Jim and I finally got around to watching the "The Office" episode that was on after the Superbowl. Well wouldn't ya know it...we didn't get to see the end of the episode because we didn't tape longer than an hour. Silly us thinking that the Superbowl was going to end when the guide said it was going to end.
...off to see if I can watch the rest of the episode online...

i ♥ brinner
Brinner you say? What on earth is that? According to Urban Dictionary,
2. Brinner: A combination of breakfast and dinner, much like 'brunch' (breakfast and lunch).
So tonight I made blueberry waffles and we had some delicious bacon that my parents brought us back from a local place up north near our cabin. Mmmmm, mmmmm, good.
Then we watched So You Think You Can Dance, and that was about it. We're such homebodies, but that's fine with me...it's a lot cheaper that way too...lol.
Tomorrow I work sort of an odd shift, 11am - 8pm, but that's because we have some equipment running and I volunteered to stay a little late to keep it running a little longer.
