Random Tuneage
Today is the day of random songs in my head.
I woke up with “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by Wham. There’s a line in the song that goes “Sun Shines brighter than Doris Day” which led me to…
“Que Sera Sera” because Doris Day sang that. Which then led me to
“Rock a Bye Your Bear” by the Wiggles – but I think that’s because Kei was singing it this morning and any parent knows that once you get a Wiggles song stuck in your head then that’s pretty much it for the day.
Until… I started thinking about the weather and how it’s 75 degrees outside (and such a shame that I am in the office) which of course led me to “Sunny Days” – the opener to Sesame street.
So I clearly need some new adult music on my ipod. Any suggestions?
Thursday Night TV Review
I love Thursday night TV, but with American Idol on last night and regular shows coming back after the strike, I did feel a little overwhelmed by choice. Good thing we have Tivo now. 🙂 Recap:
- American Idol – Boo Hoo. Michael Johns, my fellow Aussie, is gone. Seems to be little reason for me to watch it now. I mean he was good for the ears AND the eyes.
- Survivor – Yes, I admit I am one of the few people who still enjoy that show. Feel really sorry for Eliza but maybe she is more annoying in p[erson than she is on TV. LOVE that she was smart enough to recognize that the stick was not an actual immunity idol but had the courage to use it anyway AND out Ozzie as the one with the idol. He is so cocky.
- 30 Rock – not as funny as other episodes but I do like this show. I just love Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. But sadly no laugh out loud funny moments last night.
- The Office – The new episode had me crying with laughter. I think Kei summed it up best when he said that it was like the British version of The Office – uncomfortably funny. And now you can watch the full episodes online – Sweet! One of the best moments – Pam handing over a bottle of wine and Jan saying “this will be great to cook with – thank you”. I KNOW people like that. 🙂
Baby Update
Had a Doctor’s appointment this morning. Just five weeks and three days to go (eeeck!). Apparently the child has decided to lie sideways across my belly. I figured as much as I have been getting some pretty nasty kicks in my side lately. Heart beat is good, blood pressure is good and everything else is just dandy. Well, everything except the big “H” – women who have been through this before will probably know what I mean by that. This is the first experience for me and not at all pleasant, but bearable for now.
The good news is that I seem to be managing my weight better this time. I think it’s all that running around after Thomas.
Oh, and the hormones have been getting to me a little – particularly after work when I am tired and emotional. Of course Kei saying “I’m sorry you’re hormonal” is NOT helping.
Signing Off
Have a great weekend. Hope it’s sunny where you are too. You didn’t think I’d go without posting this did you? 🙂
