Lucky like a four leaf clover...

While browsing a website with blog prompts on it, I came across this one:

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day looming ahead write a poem about a time you got lucky.

Most people would think about a time they found a lucky penny or hit the mega-millions.

But with my dirty mind... I go to a time I got lucky -- if you catch my drift.


Let's be real though, I have family that reads my blog. Plus I suck at writing poems. Unless it's a haiku. I think I can handle three lines. But we won't go there!


So a time I got lucky...

There's the time I gave my daddy the puppy dog eyes and bottom lip and got to go to Germany for 10 days.

Or the time I slept off a double concussion and still woke up.

The day I met Beau. No wait, HE'S the lucky one in that situation!

Once I got suspended from middle school. I know what you're thinking, that's not lucky! But it was because I got out-of-school suspension instead of in-school. The teachers gave me my homework the day I left so I did it all that night and got a 4 day vacation. Score!

Lucky could include the time my car slid in the snow and as I was headed for a huge tree, a rock stopped me and just cracked my bumper.

I always consider myself lucky when I get a tattoo and the spelling is all correct!


But I must say, the luckiest day of my life was the day I was born. I have such an amazing family who are always there for me, good or bad. We may not always get along but in the end, we can always count on each other.


Lucky, indeed!

Life and television catch up...

I know, I know. Bad blogger!


Life has just been crazy and my mind is somewhere else. Hopefully I can get back in the swing of things soon... hopefully.

Yesterday was a good day though. My bestest (guy) friend and I went for a walk and let me tell you, it took its toll on me! Because of my back I have been so out of shape. So after our 6 mile walk - which turned into a hike at one point - I woke up this morning barely able to move my back, hips, and knees. The downside of being a 23 year old in a 50 year old's body!


We walked down next to the bridge to enjoy the moment.
Well, enjoy it as good as I could since he was jokingly going to push me in the river!

Even though I've been mentally somewhere else, I've still been enjoying my trash TV though!


It was a good season premier but I was a little disappointed. So much happened in just one episode! A hurricane came and left, Denise went into a coma and came out of it, Fort Marshall isn't closing anymore... I just thought it was a little much. Then again, it was a 2-hour premier so I suppose they did what they had to.



Maybe it's just me but I am SO tired of one new episode then reruns for 3 weeks. It's quite annoying wanting to see what happens next and having to wait weeks to know.



This is one new show that I am highly addicted to. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you do. Here is the plot via IMDb:

"For the longest time, ever since the prison facility closed down and the remaining hard-core loner prisoners had been evacuated in a final transport, none of the visitors of the small island of Alcatraz seemed to give a thought to their common final fate.

Suddenly, the fog around these criminals is being pierced. One by one, another specialized law-violator with a purpose is being seen in present-day San Francisco, where the newly recruited partnership of a dedicated law officer with an unusually skilled Alcatraz savant faces a plate full of secrets, violence, previously unknown scientific occurrences and interrelated, deep-rooted grudges by police, guards & criminals alike."

The show keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time and keeps you interested. Plus, it makes me want to fly to SF to visit The Rock!



What the heck?! Abby barely yelled at them this week. You know that's why people watch the show... who wouldn't want to see her yell at little kids and make them cry? I was shocked at the costume choice this week which made me think that they wouldn't win. And guess what, they didn't. That's going a little too far, Abby!



Um, holy crapola! I don't want to give away too much since a lot of you may have DVR'd it and will watch it tonight but oh my gosh. And the ending - what happened with Clay and with Brooke - killed me!



Sons of Guns was also on last night but I didn't have a chance to watch the whole thing... I have to finish it tonight so I can see the integrally suppressed .50 cal completed. 


Tonight I am finally - after 7 months of having to do laundry at my parents house - getting a new washer and dryer! The ones we had broke last August when our basement flooded from the hurricane. It will be so nice to not have to lug our laundry here and there!

So that's been my life, for the most part, this week. Today I am stuck at work but I have the windows open enjoying the 60-degree weather (with a high of 70 today!!!!)

Hello, spring!

The day has come...

I am one of those crazy people who count down to season premiers...

Especially when it involves one of my favorite TV shows!

Did you guess what I'm talking about yet?

For those of you who need a reminder...


MARCH 4 = TONIGHT, PEOPLE!

Holy heck, I've waited almost a year for this day to come (thanks, Lifetime)

You can bet your bottom that there will be a post about it tomorrow!

Thursday Thoughts...


[ONE]
Waking up to a dog nose pressed up against your face... is there any greater feeling? I wish I could stay in bed all day, cuddled up with my baby girl.

[TWO]
Could it really be March already? But didn't we just celebrate New Years the other day? At least it means that it's almost time to do some spring cleaning!

[THREE]
How could this happen? A young life destroyed by temptation. You will get through this... WE will get through this.

[FOUR]
Army Wives, 2-hour season premier THIS Sunday! Thank the Lord it's back! It's been forever since the last season ended.

[FIVE]
"You may need disc replacement surgery." I'm only 23 years old; those are not the words I want to be hearing. Hopefully this next test will show that surgery is unnecessary.

[SIX]
Why does the weather have to bounce back and forth like this? Cold and snow flurries one day but Saturday's forecast is high 50s. Make up your mind, Mother Nature.
