Arts and Crafts and Premiere Week!!

Ok, so this past weekend was awesome.  Lacie's wedding was a blast, my arts and crafts project turned out great, the Sooners won (barely....whew!) and Blue Man Group was sooooo much fun.  


I only have time for a quick recap here, but no worries, a full one will come later.


Since I am really proud of my fall craft project I wanted to share it.  All I have to say is "Welcome Fall!!!!"  The first day of Fall is officially tomorrow, and I am super excited.  Cooler weather, football games (high school, college, and pro), pumpkins, and fall TV, what more could you ask for??  My wonderful sister helped me craft my new fall wreath below.  It was so easy to make; if you don't think you are crafty enough...think again... you are!  All you need is a bare wreath and about 10 different swags of fall leaves, pumpkins, beads, whatever you want to fill the circle of the wreath.  Just stick the stems of the swags directly into the wreath.  Finish it off with ribbon to hold everything in place, a bow up top, and you have a great fall decoration!  Love it!


  
I thought Casey wouldn't even notice the new addition to our apartment, but she really liked it!  I love it when she notices the little things....she isn't as into details as I am so I get real excited when she appreciates the same things I do.  She is just the best roommate ever.


On to my next favorite thing about fall.....Fall TV.  As I am writing this I am watching Gossip Girl that was taped from Monday.  Since it is premiere week I thought I would let you know what fall shows I intend on watching.  The following isn't mutually exclusive, but they are shows that I am pretty dang excited about.  I will go in order for each day of the week....thankfully I have DVR and can watch any of these items at my leisure....


Monday - How I Met Your Mother and Gossip Girl (I also will randomly watch Dancing With the Stars....now this is not something I am proud of....my mom LOVES the show as does my grandmother....Me....I personally watch it to see Maks without a shirt on at least one occasion every two weeks....other than that I am not that into it unless one of the celebrities sparks my eyes....seeing as how the man I was most excited about was Michael Bolton I figured this season was one I could sit out on).  But I am extremely excited for the return of Ted's adventure to finding his wife and if Chuck Bass will regain his memory and if Dan Humphries really is the father of the baby he is helping raise....love Gossip Girl...it keeps me young...haha...xoxo...


Tuesday - GLEE!!!!!  There is really nothing else to say....this cult phenomenon is a hilarious riot and I freaking love it.....love love love it!!!  I love Sue, Mr. Shuester, Puck, Quinn, Finn, and even Rachel Berry gets to me.  The music, the drama, the comedy, it is all good!  Can't wait for the Britney episode next week.  I also watch Biggest Loser....another reality TV program.  But, I am going to defend this one because it has great workout and eating tips and you get to see the struggles and achievements of the contestants.  Truly inspiring.  I also watched Parenthood for the first time ever and was pretty impressed.  If you like Lauren Graham you will love the show....and it also stars Dax Shephard and it is good to see him in a role where he isn't a complete idiot.


Wednesday - Modern Family!  The Emmy winning comedy is back and I cannot wait!  I love everything about this show there isn't even words to express (see previous posts about my favorites and the Emmys....I am obsessed with this show....)


Thursday - Sadly, I hate to admit that I am going to check out Greys Anatomy.  I had given up on the show, but the season finale last year was so good that I have to see if Derek lives or dies....I mean we know he will live, without McDreamy what do you have??  Part of the only thing that has kept the show going the past two years has been Patrick Dempsey's hair....it has been the best quality of the show since dead Denny started inhabiting the hospital.  Anyway, the finale from last season reminded me of something we would have seen in season 1 or season 2 when the writing was spectacular as were the ratings.  I will give it a two episode window to catch my fancy.  And then I am planning on checking out My Generation.  It is a show about people who graduated in 2000 and where and what they have been doing the past decade.  It has gotten awful reviews, but I am still going to check it out.  Again,  I think I will just give it a two episode window.  Finally, I will finish out the last season of the Office with Michael Scott.  Sadly the Office hasn't been as good the last year....but it is still the Office and it is still Michael Scott.  I will be faithful no matter what.


Friday and Saturday - this is the weekend, not going to be addicted to TV on these nights.


Sunday - Sunday is devoted to Brothers and Sisters.  Love this show and I am really not sure where they will take it this year.  But, I am a loyal fan and the writing is pretty dang good, so again I will still watch it for the upcoming season.  Oh and Mad Men can go here too, even though it has been on since the end of summer.  Love this show!  The costumes, the drama, the smoking in buildings in the middle of the day, it is depicts the 1960s so well. I say that as though I lived it or something....haha...sadly I didn't, but if I had....listen, the show is just that good....ok?!


And sadly the Bachelor will not return until January.  So no Chris Harrison until then (sigh)!  Oh well, looks like I have enough to keep me occupied.


Ok that's all I got for now....I promise to give a better recap of Lacie's wedding later.  Oh, and my dear friend Katie Travis is getting married this weekend.  I am flying out Thursday for that.  And then, I am off to Hawaii with my dear friend Holly....lots going on the next few days...but I will try to keep in touch.


Until then...Ciao for now!
