The Quiet Rainy Weekend

You may be wondering by now what the Cooties did this weekend. A bunch o’ nothin’ would be the answer. It rained ALL weekend, so it was hard to get up the energy to go out. So we didn’t. Well, Denis did – he went to the grocery store and took Cooper for a walk yesterday. I laid on the couch all weekend. It was glorious. Yesterday was a “Monk” marathon on USA Network. That show stars Tony Shalhoub and is pretty well written. Luckily it airs on Friday nights at 10 p.m. so it doesn’t conflict with anything else, so I can begin watching it on a regular basis.

But I have one complaint about marathon tv. During both the Alias marathon a couple weeks ago and the Monk marathon I was forced to see the same commercials about 100 times. I realized these smaller cable stations don’t have a lot of advertisers, but PLEASE SOMEONE tell them to run more commercials. If I had seen one more ad for USA’s airing of “Con Air” I was gonna find Nick Cage and choke him.

    That’s how I feel about the Christy Lane ad on Fox News. It’s maddening!

    Monk is a funny show. I’ve only seen a couple episodes…I forget that it’s on…

    btezra, I admit I watch a lot of tv, but I also read a lot, listen to music, go to plays, etc. – so it’s not like I’m completely void of any culture. But to completely relax, I watch tv. So to not have it would SUCK. =)

    Hey! TV can be cultural…I’m watching The Forsyte Saga on Masterpiece Theatre!

    Repeat after me:

    TV is good…TV is good…TV is good…

    So sorry if you misinterpreted my exhultation ….I apologize, I was not judging your Tv watching…not in the least. I am addicted to watching sports on Tv and that’s about the least intellectual thing anyone can do with their time. Apologoies extended 🙂

    Jaynee’s at her second baby doctor’s appointment. She also has a dentist appointment. She probably won’t be on until later if at all. I feel a nap coming on after her appointment. Maybe she’ll slip in a little TV watching. *lol*

    Jen, absolutely right. The best of both worlds for Jaynee. I just hope she scans and uploads the latest ultrasound pic. If not, I’ll do it tonight. We have a medium shrimp-sized baby so far. Maybe it’s a large size shrimp. The medium size was supposed to be a few weeks ago.

    Pics are up. I just got a peek at the pregnancy site. They’re a little blurry, but you can definitely see that it’s a baby in there.

    J – you still awake? 😉

    I just saw that. I was posting an entry to it. It should be up now for everyone.
