Last week of September

It's 8:30 a.m. and I feel like I should take a nap.  I don't know how my body clock got so screwed up. I looked forward eagerly to the Emmys yesterday and sat down at 3 pm to watch the pre-show with the stars showing off their dresses, shoes, jewelry, and hair.  That was kind of interesting.  Anyhow, I sat there crocheting (like the good granny I am) and before the Emmy Show itself was over, I was yawning and watching the clock.

I actually went to bed at 7:55, and while I did read for a while, I discovered I really wanted to call it a day.  I still haven't made up my mind if the memory foam mattress is helping me sleep better or if I need to take it off and go back to my firm mattress. I've been switching them back and forth for months trying to get a really good nights sleep, but alas......I think my days of sleeping like a baby are gone for good.

Frequent trips to the bathroom don't help any but I suppose I don't really want to get to that stage of life where I can't make it to the bathroom and have to start investing in Depends.  Life is so hard sometimes.  I'm on my second cup of coffee but I seriously doubt it's going to wake me up.  I did crawl out of bed at 3:30 (because my back was killing me) and tried finishing up my snooze in the recliner.  Just wasn't as restful as I thought it would be and I finally got up at 6 and decided my day had now begun.

John O'Brien is stopping by around noon so I can give him some Facebook lessons.  I don't understand a whole lot about FB myself but I suppose we can muddle through the basics. He's joining us girls tomorrow for lunch at the casino.  I wonder if his wife knows he's going to be dining with 7 or 8 women.  Hee Hee

I always look forward to the Oscars and the Emmys. More so than the Grammys, Tonys, and People Choice awards. I've completely given up on the country music awards as few of them know how to sing a REALLY GOOD country song.  But, back to the Emmys...... Talk about boring and disappointing.  I felt like I was watching a bunch of junior high boys showing off. I don't think I laughed once.  Sometimes you give comedians a stage and they suddenly think we're all being entertained.  Nope. 

I guessed pretty close on all the categories. Wasn't that excited about the actor and actress wins for comedy and I would have liked Sofia Vergara to win over Julie Bowen but I think everyone knew Eric Stonestreet was gonna win.  He makes me laugh out loud every week.

I don't subscribe to Showtime or HBO so I missed seeing a lot of the shows that I think I would have liked--Especially Boardwalk Empire and Homeland.  I was glad Aaron Paul won for Breaking Bad and that Maggie Smith got it for Downton Abbey. Also thought Kevin Costner and Tom Berenger deserved their wins for Hatfields & McCoys.

I'm glad they finally gave Tom Bergeron a statue for Dancing with the Stars and I think I would have liked that show to win over The Amazing Race this time around.

Got a phone call from my son wishing me a belated happy birthday and he said his dogs are living with other people now.  I'm glad because he was gone too much to have them penned up at home. Maya has lost a lot of weight and doesn't even look the same. Here's now and how she looked a few months back.

 

Has anybody had problems with Gmail this week?  It won't let me insert addresses from my address book. I have to put them in manually.  Can't imagine how that happened.  I guess I better get up and get moving or I'll never wake up.  Oh, I just rememberd...I wanted to post a picture my cousin, Marlee, sent me while she was on her walk in Gig Harbor.  I'm always intrigued by pictures of the homeless. Not sure why. I guess I just can't imagine living like that and would like to know how they manage.
