Bigger IS Better

So I finally went and bought myself a new tv. Early Happy Birthday prezzie to me :) It's been at least 8 years, and considering that TV is my main entertainment (symbiotic with my knitting), it's totally worth the money spent! 

It's huge!! 55" compared to my previous 37" one which is now in my bedroom. Not sure how often I'll use it in there as I rarely have a sick day, I'm not a fan of falling asleep to a movie, and it's currently just hooked up to the bluray player, but it's in excellent condition and you never know. Now I just need another hdmi cord! Lol

I bought a wall mount kit and wow - those are some detailed instructions!! I'll probably have to ask my landlord to help with installing the actual part that goes on the wall, but I think I can manage the tv attachment.  

I also finished my Beyond the Wall shawl!! 

Ends need sewing in and it needs a blocking, but the knitting is done!

I have changed my hair, again.

I absolutely love the blonde!! The cut will show better once the colour grows out, so I'm looking forward to the next trim! Not sure if I'm having more fun yet, 'cause I have a lot of fun, but you'll know as soon as I do. 😏

Spoiler pics below on the What The Fade. No very spoilery, as I'm only on Clue 2, but perhaps you're not that far along.

I am almost at the next Fade section!

I had a great weekend with the ladies from work. We went to Blue Mountain and the weekend couldn't have been more perfect!

We missed Julie on Friday night, but she came out Saturday night. I had to come home to my little brood, so I missed the Segway adventure, but it was still such a memeorable experience, and I'm deeply grateful to be working with such strong, fierce, and fabulous women!! ❤️👸💪🏻💖

Petey is still symptomatic, but is more himself. Still waiting for his inflatable collar 😒. 

A bit more Fading before I completely fade. 

Get the Munchies Out!!!

Yeah baby, it's that time again!! Weeds is back!!! I've taken this week off work for a staycation and I have a crushing deadline so I will DVR tonight's episode and start watching the first 3 seasons again. Don't worry ... I don't inhale.

Athlete of the Week

Mike D'Aprile came by today to interview me as Rogers Local Athlete of the Week!! It'll be on the 6:00 news, towards the end of the sports segment, tonight on Rogers Cable 10 in the Barrie, Alliston, Angus area and channel 53 in the Collingwood area.

Isn't he cute? I caught him by surprise, but still ... He wore Amanda's Thorpe hat and a scarf that she knit (I know!!!) for her teacher for a humourous bit at the end.




And I can tell that a lot of you are not voting - it's just a click of the mouse. Just do it!!

BT Today

Did anyone tape BT today? Especially Amy's segment? ARGHHH!!! I knew that there was something that I forgot to do - and setting the PVR was it.

Edited to add: Amy's got the You Tube version on her blog!

Watching AR with Wannietta - part II

What with the Oscars on tonight tv totally sucks - thank god for AR!!

Poor Drew - altitude sickness. Did he get that the firs time 'round?
Did anyone ever say that gay men couldn't drive? Musta missed that stereotype.
"I don't think that the car liked that." It's a poor workman who blames his tools.
LMAO!!! Kevin & Drew are a freakin' riot!!
SNAP!!! The more connecting flights that you have to take, the greater the odds of more delays.

Awww c'mon - the Beauty Queens?!? I'd almost rather see Rob & Amber winning.
Sometimes you can get too hung up on the details.
Uchenna's looking like he could spit nails.

Finally!!
Good man Uchenna - bite your tongue!
"Grab the bags Amber."?!? Not that I'm sexist, but still.
Hmmmm - a little dissension, trouble in paradise? The newlywed glamour is fading.
By Machine - totally!!! I can drive that.
Different kind of nuts & screwing Dustin.
Geez Mirna - she needs a step stool. I mean, unless you want to do all of the top ones by yourself. I'm sure that most of you'll need a step up to reach them.
No more than 40km/hr? Is that a rule or a suggestion?
Danny & Oswald are funny - "my manicurist ..."

C'mon Mary & David - don't ever give up!!!
Mirna & Chmirna have gone a leetle over the edge. (which is not much different than a lot over the edge once you're over it)
Valley of the Dead - is that like the Valley of the Dolls?
Son of a nut cracker - again!!
Maybe you should drive from now on Kevin.
Poor Mary - there are alliances once in awhile but there are no friends in a race.
That's what happens when the blind lead the blind.
I don't think that Drew was really up for this Race.

Facing off against Mirna & Charla. Sounds like the name of a new show.
