Well, it's been a while since my last post. So here's what has been going on with me....
FINALES.... and lots of them. A couple of weeks ago marked the season's end for many of my favorite tv shows. Dancing with the Stars ended very satisfactory for me. I was rooting for Apollo all the way. I even voted for him. I'm glad he won although Joey was a worthy competitor. He was just a little too goofey for my taste. The Office ended with a long awaited move in the office romance department. I hope that Jim and Pam work out. Of course, most tv shows start losing their appeal once the guy and girl finally get together. I hope this doesn't happen to The Office. It's such a funny show. As a side note, Wes surprised me one day and actually downloaded the theme song for The Office as my ringtone. I love it! Back to the shows. Veronica Mars...RIP...I can't believe it's over! And the finale was so frustrating. They turned what should have been a series finale into a regular old season finale with several cliffhangers. Why would they do that? It was very unsatisfying for me and I'm sure several other loyal fans. Ok, so I saved my favorite for last. LOST. Wow. That just about sums it up for me. I got bored with this show for a while but the writers have really reeled me back in. The ending for this season was really mind-blowing. A flash-forward! If you don't watch LOST then that doesn't make any sense. But trust me, it was something I didn't see coming. Unfortunately, I have to wait until February to find out what happens next.
HOUSE GUESTS....which included some friends of ours, Wes's parents, and my brother and his family. We had some friends of ours , Todd and Anca, over for dinner about 3 weeks ago. They are fellow newlyweds (married in December) who invited us over for dinner a couple of weeks after the honeymoon. It was nice to be able to finally have them over. It was a great night of food and conversation. We also had Wes's parent come to visit on Memorial Day weekend. I was a little nervous because it was the first time I ever cooked for his parents. Thankfully, it went well. We had a picnic on Saturday at the Arboretum at UK and watched a movie that night. Sunday I had a little time to recover before my brother and his family came to visit on Monday. They arrived shortly after lunch. We had several hours of fun playing with our nephew Jacob. Wow, I really do miss seeing him. He is so much fun! We had some adventures playing hide&seek around the house and did A LOT of swinging at the playground. We were able to have dinner together that night at Chedder's and did some driving around Lexington to show them the area. It was a busy but good weekend.
CAR ACCIDENT AND THE CLINIC....but they were two unrelated events. Last week I was rear-ended on my way to work. Thankfully, I was ok and so was the other driver. The traffic on that road is always backed up. I guess that she didn't notice that I was stopping. My car could have been worse (at least it sounded like it could have been much worse when she hit me) but I'm sure it will cost an outrageous amount to fix. Thankfully, her insurance is paying for the damages. All I have to worry about is finding a place to get it fixed. That should happen within the next week or two. Finally, I decided to go to the Lexington clinic to have my ankle x-rayed on Monday. I fell down the stairs at home about 6 weeks ago. My ankle has been bothering me ever since. While I thought it was just a bad sprain, I wanted to be sure. And...I was right. The x-rays did not reveal any fractures but did show that I had small tissue swelling. So, they referred me to a podiatrist to check for ligament damage. This whole experience has been such a pain, literally and figuratively. I'm never falling down stairs again!
Well, that pretty much sums up the events in my life since my last post. Hopefully, I won't wait so long to post again. Until next time...

What were you thinking as you tumbled down the stairs? Well, probably not much, as the instinct was simple survival at that point.
I remember a girl who always wanted her parents to have a home with an upstairs so she could have a bedroom upstairs and a window seat. I think now upstairs are not as attractive as they once were for her. Some lessons, like running on stone walkways, we just have to learn from experience.
However, I must admit, even at my age, I would still like to have a basement in the next house I buy. So steps are not so bad, but we do have to remember to respect them as an innocent trip on the stairs can turn into something much more involved.

Shannon was stunned to find out Gilmore Girls was not having its season finale but series finale. Apparently they were wanting to bring it back but all the deals feel through at the end. That is her favorite show, and I admit it was a good show, at least until this year when they couldn't think of any good plot lines so they had Lorelai break up with Luke and go back with loser Christopher. No one wanted that and it didn't make sense. And when it became the last season with 2 episodes left, they did not have time to properly wrap it up. Just ended dumb. I sound so girly talking about Gilmore Girls. I am going out and shoot a wild boar.
Yes, I've finally wised up and decided that a single level home sounds very nice. Stairs are just too much work and in my case, can be very painful!
I didn't watch much of Gilmore Girls the last season because I thought the writing wasn't very good. Before then, I thought it was a very good show. The dialog was usually clever and entertaining. I didn't like the way the show ended either. I thought it was rather dissappointing. I've read that the original creator/writer may consider doing a Gilmore Girls movie to tie up some loose ends. I hope you were successful in shooting that boar. :)
