Goodbye Telemundo!

Is it wrong to be so excited about getting dish that I contemplated calling in sick all day?  The day we abandoned cable marked the beginning of a few dark months....but we are back on the right track.  I'm super stoked about catching up on meaningless TV, food network and Property Virgins....more than I should be.  Also?  Morning news that is not the Daily Buzz.....Hello George Stephanopoulos!  How I have missed thee.  It's very freeing to say that Telemundo no longer comprises 25% of our channel line up.

Also, my eyes have been opened to the fact that Attic Man?  Most likely the guy that came and did my instillations today...I know it was an act when he pretended to not know where the attic door was or how to open it...creepy?  yes.  Will I make my husband do a quick check through of the attic tonight?  Yes.  and the closets, dryer, behind the curtains and inside the showers.....You can't be too safe.  We are talking about Attic Man here.

Don't pretend that you don't look behind your curtains when you feel creeped out.  And other places that people definitely couldn't fit like in drawers.  Or in the kitchen cabinets.

Safety first, people.  Safety first.

Until next time!

An Old Friend Visits

Yesterday morning I woke up to find my closet door wide open. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but I'm very weird about sleeping with the closet door open. Meaning: I just don't do it. Call me crazy, but there is just something eerie about sleeping with the closet door wide open, you know, because anything could be in there! And it certainly isn't just shoes, clothes or belts. Also, what is possibly more eerie than the closet door being wide open, is turning out the bedroom light only to find that the closet door is shut, but THE LIGHT IN THE CLOSET IS ON! Not only is it on, it's on in a weird, science fiction, spaceship way.

Maybe it's a good thing that I don't watch scary movies.

I usually blame this sort of weird thing on Attic Man, who seems to have visited our new place. While he was here he also got our floor pretty dusty and left a few dishes in the sink. No to mention, put a WHOLE LOAD OF CLOTHES IN THE FLOOR OF MY BEDROOM.

It's not over yet, Attic Man.

Until next time.

Me Being Happy

I'm on the thing about being happy, remember? There is too much that is awful going on in the world for me to be complaining about anything going on with me. Really, the things I consider major upsets include hangnails, bad hair days, time crunches, tickets and the like. Some people in this world have really terrible and hard things going on in their lives.

Happiness today looked like my favorite heels, beautiful weather, a clean apartment, and the mask husband brought back from New Orleans which I may or may not have been wearing around my apartment. Oh, also, I cooked a delicious supper, if I may say so myself. I will put the recipe on here, but I'm being lazy on the couch right now.

Also, I'm watching 500 Days of Summer. Again. I'm about to start a new book as well. I haven't been reading much lately, as far as a novel goes, anyway. I only have boring stuff so I'm calling it a night! Cheers!

Until next time!!

PS-Attic Man knocked down the hanging bar in my closet. He's unruly sometimes.

Introduction of Attic Man

Jeans today - You know what that means: WORK BLOGGING! Thursdays are my favorite day, and just can't be ruined with the restraints of dress pants. I know, I have set goals, which include wearing dress clothes to work Mon - Fri, but lets live a little. According to People: Style Watch, jeans are appropriate in the work place when paired appropriately.

I couldn't help myself, anyway. Club Closet was in full effect as I was getting ready for work this morning. If you aren't familiar with Club Closet, you are in for a treat. It includes one DJ (me) who is also the featured artist, two to three dancing fools (me, husband, and possibly attic man) and our small walk-in closet. We were rocking Lady Gaga. As a result of the atmosphere in said closet, People: Style Watch might tell me I didn't pair appropriately.....but I'm over it.

"Who is Attic Man?" you might ask. I think it's time for me to share about how I'm convinced that someone is living above my apartment in my attic: Attic Man. His existence is quite convenient for me. Let me give you some examples: Where did I put my keys? Attic Man! He must have moved them. Why is no laundry done: Attic Man! He hid the dirty clothes. Where is the remote control? Attic Man! He was probably watching MTV or BRAVO while I was at work, and left it somewhere weird. You get the picture.

When Attic Man's existence is not convenient for me, however, is when I'm at the apartment alone. Suddenly Attic Man turns really creepy and could come out of the attic access in the closet at any moment and take me up into his lair with him. And I don't even want to picture that creeper up in my attic, living in the dark.

Attic Man is pretty quiet for the most part and doesn't usually cause problems-just when he leaves the dishes on the counter or in the sink or drinks the rest of the milk. It's debatable as to whether or not these things are indeed Attic Man, or someone else that lives in my apartment with me..........One time, though, Attic Man caused the light fixture in my closet to mysteriously fall to the ground in the middle of the night one time. That was on the more creepy side of The Attic Man Saga, more of which I'll share later!

Viva Club Closet, featuring VIP Attic Man!!

Until next time!

Perfection

Every once in a while, a pretty near perfect day will roll around. I don't really need anything grand or especially out of the ordinary to be going on for this to occur. Today was a normal, routine day; but it left me feeling more than satisfied.

Maybe it's all about outlook. I'm not sure. As opposed to popular belief, I'm still figuring it all out. I'll let you know when I get all the answers. It will probably come in the form of a published New York Times bestseller. Right. Anyway.

Typically, Sunday seems depressing. No. I'm done with that. I got up early and went running with my trusty training partner. I went to HEB, which even seemed enjoyable. I fixed one of my favorite meals for lunch:

frozen cheese ravioli
1 medium onion, chopped
3 zucchini, diced? sliced? julienned? um....cut up
1 jar of sun dried tomato Alfredo sauce

Cook ravioli according to package. Saute onion and zucchini. Drain ravioli. Add veggies to drained ravioli and mix with sauce. Enjoy! (I usually serve with bread and salad)

We watched church online before chowing down. After lunch, I goofed around with my dear husband, in between him working and me watching select, quality, no doubt, reality TV i.e. Millionaire Match Maker.............And helped him pack for Galveston. We took a much needed trip to Sonic. What better way to welcome spring-like weather than consuming a large diet limeade??

I dropped him off on campus and drove home through CS with windows down and the music up. Days like today make me realize what I do have, and how lucky I am to be able to enjoy these little things in my life and share them with such a fantastic man.

I will be logging some hours with my book while bringing it to a close. Hopefully, Attic Man will leave me be........I can't blog about him while home alone. The explanation of the being known in the Sanchez household as Attic Man will be saved for another blog.

Until next time!
