Well so I already know that I am new at this whole blog thing...and I am most possibly a very late convert...which I have to admit is a new feeling for me these days.
I guess it must be a sign of the times mixed with me getting older. I have to admit I am not used to being "behind the times" or trying to play catch up with some new trend. I did afterall have a myspace page for 2 years ...that makes me not a complete dinosaur right?
That is exactly what I plan to use as my bragging rights to my teenage son when he gets older to prove that I am not an ancient artifact, some old news cool person who is now just referred to as a "mom" or parental figure. That's right, I completely plan to brag that I managed to keep up with the times, the music, the shows (*I do watch the new 902010 if that counts- although most of our children will never truly understand why the return of this show is so exciting to us- or that it is a return and not some "new show") lol
I have a full spectrum of shows on my TIVO..... Programmed right next to my Oprah, and Rachel Ray TIVO, Dateline and 20/20...(you know so that as the responsible adult and parent that I am :)..... I can keep up on the latest foods that will give me and my family cancer or some other secret sort of toxic poisoning, find out who is currently trying to invade our country or of some other sort of international conspiracy or that we somehow find addictive fascinating that the man living next door to us could very well be some sort of deranged serial killer..cause lets face it they cant even make that type of crap up in fiction as good as real life unfortunately) ....
Right there next to all of those show I also have my very young, hip, and cool TIVO shows of Greys Anatomy, 90210, ER, Dancing with the Stars, Law & Order and One Tree Hill.
Even though I will not even try to pretend that I have time to watch all of these shows. Nope, In my new adult life I have very optimistic expectations at the beginning of the week and end up deleting half of it all come Sunday due to the fact that in some crazy way I refuse to become a slave to my television.....then why the TIVO? I don't know the answer to that....I suspect that I am gravely in danger of "free time denial"....yes...I fear I am in denial as to the fact that I truly do not own my time as I used to as a single person. Every week I have these grandiose visions of me sitting in my comfey oversized loveseat chair, snuggling a hot bowel of popcorn, all the while enjoying catching up with all the latest and greatest of the love dramas of Dr. Grey and Dr. McDreamy.....But alas! to no avail... Soon reality kicks in and the husband calls, my precious son needs me, The house/laundry demands my attention...or honestly a hot, quiet bath sounds more appealing at the end of the night, not the TV.
So ok, I admitted it....... I am not some poor victim of my circumstances, at the end of the day sometimes all I want to do is take a long hot bath, sip on a glass of wine and enjoy perhaps squeeze in some relaxing time out on my porch watching the stars. Yes, I guess it is official,.,,,,if there was any wonder before......I am officially old!! :)
A special thanks to Mrs. Horton for not only inspiring me to begin posting my blogs and daily gratitude but for helping me with some of the more finer details "technically speaking" for setting everything up. The Mrs. is a little more tech savoy than I gave her credit for! :)
To my family, to our good Health, to having a great day at work and for my little boy having a better day at school today, for my loving and sweet husband who I hoped would come for so long, For a loving family and another day to spend with them close by my side I am truly grateful!! The rest I guess falls into the pile of the "small stuff" :)
Chat with you tomorrow!!

Hooray for you Mrs. Misuraca and I must say...you my dear know how to jot down a serious note. I loved reading your blog and can't wait to read more. Thanks for being a great friend...you do inspire me all the time because for some odd reason, you constantly look at life with a silver lining. I love that about you! Let the Blogging Begin!
Ahhhh, the bond between a mom and her son, I know what you mean. I look at Triston and my heart glows, I love him and I truly, TRULY feel sorry for his wife.... I hope I'm nice to her.
