Off the radar

I have been MIA since last Friday or so. That's when we got satellite with a dvr - for both TVs. Then to add to the "new toy" fun time, we also had a free Showtime weekend. I have so many movies recorded... :D

Also, on G4 (it's a channel), they have the best show ever ever ever. "Happy Tree Friends and Friends". That's right folks, you heard me. The and friends part? Oh, Joe Cartoon, Retarded Animal Babies, plus others. I have it set to record every week. Hell yeah!

I love the Search option satellite gives you. We've had satellite before, and I've missed it. There were so many shows I had to give up when we moved here. I love "What Not to Wear", but cable didn't have TLC. I do now, baby!!!

So, as you can see, I have been learning everything there is to learn about my new toy. It's been a week. I think I can take a break now.

Well, now that's not true. I have not been sitting on the couch for a week.

Little Diva wanted an email address. I kept telling her I would find her one on one of the kid-safe sites. After two days, I couldn't find anything. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zip a roonie. I searched the web for an email that wouldn't allow porn in, and there aren't any??? Give me a freakin' break.

One cool thing that I found, and downloaded, was a kid's browser. It blocks the entire internet with the exception of approved sites (like Crayola, Disney, PBS, etc...) That means I can feel happy as a clam (What a stupid expression. As if clams are happy.) that she can sit down and surf as much as she wants, and not run into any creeps. I recommend it for all parents. It's called KidRocket.

Now why can't they have safe email addresses too?????

I have tried to blog several times this week, but I end up getting busy with other stuff, and run out of time. That sucks.

This weekend will be a busy one for us. It's the last full weekend to get shit done before my in-laws arrive on the 23rd. We have to make it look like we actually care, ya know. Okay, mostly it is rearranging, finish unpacking, organizing, and making everything look roomy and spacious. In a word, perfection. It's not like I'm expecting too much, right? Right?

The dogs will have to go to the groomers for a wash, we have to get Diva's b-day party nailed down, get her a plane ticket back home, buy blank CDs, get Diva some gifts, stock the house with food before the 23rd, I have to sew some stuff before May 11th, we have to make sure we have enough money for the dog sitter, etc, etc, etc... Very busy around here. As the dates get closer, you can watch my stress levels rise. Won't that be fun??
