For the longest time we've had a dish attached to our house to watch tv. Which really sucked because of course everytime there was bad weather or if the wind was bad the tv would go out!
Well no more! Verizon finally put Fios in our neighborhood so we could get Fios TV. We got it all hooked up today and can't wait to figure it all out. Besides the lower bill for having the tv, internet and phone there are two things I'm REALLY happy about the new Verizon TV.
1. We can actually record a show and watch something else at the same time. As a matter of fact we can record TWO shows and watch something else at the same time! Sweet!
2. If we record something downstairs we can actually watch it upstairs! This is great when you want to watch something in bed.
So glad to have the new Verizon Fios. Its gotta lot to live up to.

What if?
I was reading this article I found on CNN about how the wife made her husband get a job delivering pizza just to support the family. It did make me reflect a little on how the admin employees in my company are still waiting to hear what the final verdict is on who has a job and who might not. Admin includes me.
We've already received a wage freeze (although the agents who actually stuff the envelopes did not) and of course insurance went up this year!
So what happens if I loose my job? My hubby will not have to tell me to get another job. I'll do it on my own cause I know that we'll need to continue our income to survive. I won't be too proud. As a matter of fact there is a new Kroger grocery store opening around the corner from the house. I'll apply there. Plus its closer.

Where will you be?
I have never watched an inauguration before but I will be glued to the tv tomorrow!
Mr. M and I have decided to take the day off and watch all the festivities. I know that it will be showing on all the tv's here at work in our lunch room, but why watch it in there? Is that really a great way to spend my companies dollar? ;-)
Besides, this is history in the making. Although I can't be there (and truthfully I don't know if I would want to be in all that mess) I want to be sure to watch it - as it happens.
I need to see if I have any blank VHS tapes (I know, that's old huh?) and record it for a momento. Although I'm sure you'll be able to buy it somewhere on DVD once its all over.
Although today is the holiday, tomorrow is the day I've elected to take off.
One thing that I have pondered... why do we not have a President-mobile like there is a Pope-mobile? Would be great for parades such as tomorrow. Did we not learn anything from Dallas? (and I live in Dallas so unfortunately we get to hear about it at least once a year).
Good luck President Obama! Make us all proud!

Just Disgusting!
{Begin Rant}
I watched American Idol when it first came out all the way to the end, and would even vote a time or two. Now-adays I enjoy the first part - you know the try-outs, and yes its to see the really bad people who think they can sing - and then I'll check back closer to the end to see how its going.
Of course last night was the Premier of the latest season so I tuned in every now and then (was really watching The Biggest Loser - which BTW I was SO upset to see the grandpa and the youngest guy in the bottom two. Should have been the lazy *ss who just made it above the yellow line. Take the $2,500 and go home and let those who really want to loose weight remain!!).
Anywho, one of the things they kept tempting you with was "the bikini girl". Of course I wanted to see what that was all about, especially when the two lady judges have a cat fight with her. I understand that it sometimes helps to have a gimmack of some sort to get noticed and get shown on the show. However the object of this show is to find people who can sing. That was, at least, until two men judges decided that bare skin, boobs and *ss trumped the singing portion of the show. Of course the two girl judges didn't like her but eventually gave in to letting her go to Hollywood. And truthfully? She didn't sing well. I just think its disgusting to think they let her go.
Typical! Disgusting, perverted men letting their "little" heads think for them.
