MzSerena’s Garden

So every year when it comes time for Rob to have his vacation, I sit down and think about where we can go and what we can do. One of the things that came up this year was the idea of exploring New Jersey waterparks since it’s not that far of a drive to New Jersey.

The idea of a family beach vacation sounds like a lot of fun, since I rarely ever spend time out in the sun. I haven’t been to a beach before, so that would be different for me. I have been to a beach front lake, but that’s a totally different type of beach. It would be a great thing to take a real vacation away from my home town.

The idea of driving a few hours to New Jersey to explore beaches and waterparks sounds like a great idea. Summer is wrapping up, however, so perhaps it’s an idea for next years vacation plans. I know I’m going to do it one year, I just haven’t figured out what year it’s going to be, since money ends up being tight every year. Maybe if I plan early, I can get the money saved up by next June to take a small trip like that.

So, I have shunned hoodies for a long time, mostly because I’m not a fan of things on my head. However, I’ve noticed over the last few years that the winters aren’t nearly as cold as they used to be. Also, I’m not out in the cold for extended periods. Mostly it’s to go to and from the car or house or store. So a heavy winter coat is too hot for me.

I figured that this winter, rather than killing myself with my winter coat, I’d pick up a couple of hoodies to wear instead. So far, I have two that I bought from people in fatshionista, which makes me quite happy. I love both of them. Especially the black one I just got. *see picture* Mom got a big kick out of it when I told her about it.

I want a zip up hoodie still, then I’ll be satisfied and stop buying them. Maybe. Anyway, I’m done babbling about clothing.

I only have one thing left on my things to post about list! *faint* I’m shocked that I finally got through the list of stuff. Just in time for me to add new things to it starting tomorrow. Yeah that’s not a joke. Tomorrow and Saturday will be out of touch days for me. It’s going to be crazy busy, in a good way. I should have plenty of pictures Saturday too.

I’ve decided that since my 2-3 yr old television is going bad already, I’m going to have to get a new television. This does not make me happy, in a sense, because of the money factor. On the bright side, it will be a flat panel LCD, possibly HD, but I haven’t decided on that just yet.

I should get some stuff done so I’m not totally useless today, even though I want to be. Being useless isn’t always a bad thing. *nods sagely*

Cast members returning for 30th `Dallas’ reunion – Yahoo News.

DALLAS – J.R., Bobby, Sue Ellen and other members of the Ewing clan are getting back together for a “Dallas” reunion party.

Cast members of the popular prime-time soap opera that ran from 1978-91 will return to the Southfork Ranch north of Dallas on Nov. 8 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the show. Several key actors, including Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, have confirmed they will attend.

Hagman, who played central character J.R. Ewing, a scheming oil baron and cattle rancher, said he is looking forward to the event.

“I may not be able to do the 40th,” said Hagman, 76, in an interview with The Dallas Morning News. “Thirty years is pretty good, and the show is still very popular.”

The reunion at the ranch in suburban Parker, north of Dallas, is open to the public. Tickets go on sale Aug. 22 and will cost between $100 and $1,000. The event will include fireworks, a country music concert, a question-and-answer session with the cast and tours of the mansion.

The show is perhaps best known for the “who shot J.R.?” cliffhanger that concluded the 1979-1980 season in which Hagman’s character was blasted within an inch of his life. (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing’s sister-in-law, Kristin.)

“Dallas” featured the antics of a wealthy Texas clan that punched, slapped, drank, cavorted and schemed to gain control of the family fortune. The reunion promises to be tamer.

“Larry and I will have a bowl of Mueslix and a small shot of prune juice and be in bed by 9 o’clock,” Duffy, who played Bobby Ewing, told the newspaper. “We’ll let people file by the bed and watch us go to sleep. I think we can hang with the best of them until midnight.”

For the love of all that is holy, they really need to give Rob the SAME SHIFT ALL WEEK! I mean seriously, two days it’s 4am-1pm or around that, other days it’s been 11am-8pm, tonight was 3pm-11pm, tomorrow is 2pm-10pm. This seriously screws with my dinner planning up. For instance, I’m going to be making what I’d be having for dinner at lunch time so that Rob can get a decent meal before work.

Meal planning is a pain in the ass on days like this, but I do it. Tomorrow I will be making BBQ Chicken Breast on my Panini Grill, Busch’s Grillin’ Beans and *ponder* maybe quick taters. I haven’t decided yet.

I should go to bed, but I’m watching Big Brother: After Dark on Sho2 and after that I’ll watch more Olympic coverage til I fall asleep. I’d do so much better if I could fall asleep when I hit the bed, but I lay and toss and turn. I mentioned that I need to talk to the doctor about it, maybe she can give me something to help. I know it’s not covered by the Walmart plan, but I have a discount card that should make it fairly reasonable, I’d hope.

Anyway, I need to sleep, then get up and be a human in the morning to get work done, so I’m outta here.
