TV: It's Better Than Drinking or Smoking

Emmys 2009

Well, there's Grey's Anatomy and of course Private Practice (they are practically connected by blood.) There's Parenthood (which took the place of Brothers and Sisters which some moron took off the air.) Modern Family is a must see and I do admit my husband and I found ourselves back again, after many years, watching the last season of Survivor. I know......we swore we would never watch it again, but times were hard, and reality can be such a bitch that for one hour a week we sat on our faux leather couch, shut the door to the family room and escaped to whatever paradise island they were in. I'm not proud but I'm not ashamed. We may even watch it next season too......sometimes all you need is a little fantasy, your spouse's arm around your shoulders and escapism. Besides, it was good to see Jeff Probst again, like a long lost friend. There's nothing wrong with that.

No Pain, Yes, Gain

The question for me is not how long tattoos LAST but how much PAIN I would feel. I am not a good pain patient (chronic pain sufferer aside.) I do react to pain on a higher level than most people; I've been this way since I have been a child. If it didn't hurt (ow, the thought of needles digging in my skin makes me nauseous) I would think about a temporary tattoo for a month, maybe even for a year. My logical thought though is it would hurt just as much to have it removed, if not MORE, than to get one....I'm a wuss, I admit it. I try to stay away from all sorts of pain. I have enough pain in my life due to Fibromyalgia and Chronic pain disorders than to look for pain and pay for it. Pain is my enemy, no way would I do anything that would inflict pain willingly; the only exception, childbirth for my two lovely children. That's it!

Cheese AND Jelly or Jam Makes MY Heart Grow Fonder

Scrambled eggs, kiwi, and toast!

My favorite way to cook eggs is to scramble them (not too loosely and not so that they are overdone) with cheese. I use Pam (butter flavored cooking spray) and if I really want to watch my cholesterol I will use just one egg yolk and two egg whites. However, I admit, I love the texture of the eggs when I add cheese. I have been known to add a slice of Kraft American cheese (don't judge me) or Jarlsberg or Cheddar. I've also been known to have toast with butter and grape jelly to accompany this delicacy too or just add the jam or jelly with the eggs. Oh Mo, stop complaining, try it first. Sigh, yes, Mo is my dear friend but she does not like the fact that I have put grape jelly on pizza. Dear friends, don't be hating, be flexible, besides, I only add the jelly if the pizza is dry. Adding grape jelly or any type of jam to scrambled eggs is delicious ANYTIME. You are welcome.
