Anarchy

For my husband and I, our latest Netflix addiction has been Sons of Anarchy.

Sadly, we are caught up on all the episodes on Netflix and I am too scared of The Powers That Be to do any illegal downloading. So, until FX starts playing the older episodes from this season, we are done. I'm not about to pay for it. We already pay enough for cable.

Dang, that is one good show.

The funny thing about my husband and I are how different we act when one is ahead of the other. If I'm a couple episodes ahead, I don't speak a word about the show because I'm not one to spoil things.

My dear husband, on the other hand, is just plain awful about it. He will plead that he just has to tell me just one thing, and it won't spoil anything, but then this other thing happened...

I think it's really cute. I also hope I can get him started on Breaking Bad. He can't spoil anything for me because I've already seen every episode.

Getting into the same show is a great bonding experience. He can't/won't relate to The Young & The Restless, and he doesn't seem to care much about The Walking Dead. We have to find another show because I liked obsessing over every episode with him, and the competition of keeping up with each other.

What do you and your significant other bond over? What show(s) do you watch together?

Stuff I'm Thankful For In 2013

Like many of you, I began participating in that Facebook tradition of posting what I'm thankful for every day in November.

Yeah, I lasted about a week, then crappy crap started happening. Instead of trying to catch up, I figured I'd make a list of things on my blog.

So, here ya'll go.

1.) Gravy.

2.) My Mom. I don't know what I'd do without her. She's been here for me no matter what. She's a Ride Or Die Mom.

3.) The way Morgan talks. "Tops ride in a top tar." She has the cutest lisp, also.

4.) The fact that I have things to pass along. For instance, I showed Chelsey how not to burn the crust of a pumpkin pie. I also showed her what my stepmom taught me to do -- sprinkle cinnamon on the top.
On Christmas, I'll show them how to make reindeer food. The glitter is what makes them fly.

5.) My husband. He fought the crowds this morning and got last minute stuff, PLUS he brought home sausage biscuits!!!

6.) The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I wish someone would tell them that nobody gives a dang about that Broadway stuff or the singing. We just want the floats and balloons, thankyouverymuch.

7.) The way dudes smell when they get out of the shower. mmm

8.)  Smartphones.

9.)  Memories. No matter what, I have memories of the past holidays and the people who made it special. I also have the chance to make memories with my family every day. I know it seems sappy, but  the thought of spending this holiday and Christmas and many more special days with everyone makes me feel good. Even if members of your family are in Heaven (or outer space, whatever you believe), you have their memories and stories to share to the ones you have around you right now.

10.) Elastic pants. Very important on days like today.

11.) Chocolate peanut butter fudge. It's an old family recipe that we call "Cake Candy" and my awesome seester brought me some today because she loves me.

                        

12.) The Young & The Restless.

13.) Grape juice. Not grape drink. Not grape Kool-Aid. Grape Juice.

14.) Brand new white tennis shoes.

                                                   

15.) Children. Not anyone else's. Just mine (including stepchildren, I love them like my own.) And my nieces. And my nephew. Grown-up kids, too... like my other nephews. Shoot, my whole entire family.

Well, I've got stuff to do. Green bean casserole to make. I hope y'all enjoy your Turkey day and your post-turkey naps. May all your dishes be paper and all your pants be stretchy. Love y'all!
