Don't knock it 'til you try it

If you've ever watched Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime you can't tell you didn't love it! Or at least find it kind of funny. I've been enjoying Sunday evenings at 9pm because of this little gem.

It's cute, witty, mindless and darn right funny! If you haven't had a chance to check it out you I would recommend it to all of you. Also those who have onDemand I've found they have most if not all of the current season on there.

I've never watched Tori and Dean until about a month ago I saw it was on Oxygen onDemand while I was on the elliptical and I couldn't take clips of watching Teresa flip the table one more time. So Tori and Dean it was...oh my gosh those two are hilarious, I love it. I know from twitter a lot of you already watch it, but if you don't you're missing out big time!

I will admit I cried once or twice while watching Biggest Loser last evening, how can you not cheer for the whole group! I think they have a great group this season.

Well there you have it a little tv chatter!

So long Summer 2009

We wrapped up the last "official week" of summer on Nantucket! The week after Labor Day is the best week to spend on Nantucket and that is exactly what we did.


A quick shot of the new signs they've put up at all the beaches, a great idea of those who are not familiar with the Island. #19 is "Surfside".

The one and only "Turkey Terrific" from Provisions of Straight Wharf. A classic Thanksgiving sandwich and normally I save this treat for our Ferry ride home but I couldn't wait and ordered one to have on the beach, the sand crunch was free of charge. It's their #1 seller!

A full ACK recap to come this week. I'm happy to jump back into the blogging world, though most of "my" readers are on Twitter so I guess I haven't really been gone at all!

I never thought I would say this but BRING ON FALL!!! I will order myself a Pumpkin Spice Latte and love it! I have already done my tote to purse change over and was happy to do so.

OHHH and what better time to start blogging again with the new fall shows about to air! Wootwoot!

*I was only doing a list of shows currently on this season

DVR'd - a recording is set in case we have time to catch up

30 Minute Meals

Boy Meets Grill

Northeast Angling

On The Water

Divine Design

Keeping Up with the Kardashian's

Gilmore Girls reruns, I teared up when it ended

*Days of Our Lives (this may or may not actually be true, I cannot confirm)

Here are a list of must sees in the Kimba household i.e. most are mine. Pretty normal, I assume after I publish this post I will come back with more. All of these shows are DVR'd and most are watched when we have time. Our DVR recordings normally do not get watched, but it's good to have them. *One recording may or may not ALWAYS get watched, I cannot confirm. The nightly news with Brian Williams is a staple if I'm home in time. Fox 25 or 7 news always is on when we go to sleep. CNN, MSNBC are fillers for any slow nights. Now that Baseball season is upon us, we can scratch the above list and replace it with two simple powerful words, the Red Sox! A shout out to the Celtics and Bruins, a C's game does not go by without watching 95% of it!

Any fun shows are must watches in your house?

Enjoy!

Yay for health and Lilly!

I'm on the upswing and feeling good!

Thank you for your very sweet thoughts! I have had a few people around me the last couple of weeks who have been sick as heck and I can't say I'm surprised I finally got it. And no I did not get a flu shot. So add that to my list of to-do's for next year. 

I DVR'd the Jubilee Lilly show on Martha today and was so happy to come home and watch it! How fun was it to see our own blogging gals and my fave Jewelry Designer KEP in the audience, I can't wait for them to get home and they update with their own stories and pictures! Just like my gal TCP I wore my Lilly scarf to work today, it added a little pop to my black suit! 

Did you watch? 

All i can say is having it stay lighter longer and seeing all of that pink and green I AM READY FOR SPRING!!!!!!! 

Cheers to All Things Lilly!

Aren't we just too cute!

Check out the two pictures M took of us! I have the hardest time uploading pix from our Mac so please forgive me.

I know most of you are huge The Bachelor fans, but this gal is watching another the other Bachelor that is on Monday nights, 24, Jack Bauer never lets us down!

The snow was not to bad by the time I was up to shovel and to tell you the truth I don't mind shoveling at all. I think of it as a little extra workout! Though I prefer my morning workouts with less snow blowing into my face.

How did you ladies fare with the snow?

I would actually rather talk about the snow then the fact the Dow was under 7000, and stayed that way at the close. First time since 1997. So what were you doing in '97? I was a freshman in High School, nuff said, it's been a while.

Sorry this is so random and short, but like i said Jack's on!

Hi, welcome and thank you to my new followers!!!

As Seen on TV - Vol 1

Strap Perfect

And I thought the Snuggie was the best thing seen on TV in ages (Shamwow is pretty close), but the Strap Perfect has to be the oddest product yet! The ad shows the women in skimpy tank tops with big bra straps, after you attach the "strap perfect" you look like you lose 10 pounds and gain a cup size. 

What will they think of next?!

Haaachuuuuu

I'm rocking a pretty bad cold and I was actually told by my co-worker I should go home early as my coughing was scaring everyone. I agreed and took off, though it was 4:15, still I beat the traffic and was able to jump on the bus without waiting!

The upside, i'm at home working with a rerun of Wife Swap on. The show is so bad it's kind of good, I never watch it but when I do I get a big kick out of it!

I was happy to beat MG home so I could turn all of the Christmas Lights on and he could see how nice it looks when I come home everynight and their on!

I'll be posting our weekend wedding pix tomorrow!

Now TMZ is on, only bad TV is allowed when I'm home alone! (Too bad I already watched last weeks Starter Wife!)

Do you Facebook?

I've seen a few of you blog in the last few weeks about Facebook. It's been a fun little connection with people I grew up with. And it's also been fun to find out more about my blog friends! If you'd like to "friend me" my email is kimbakimba @ gmail.com

Moving along, I read on US Weekly.com that Lipstick Jungle is NOT being cancelled per Brook Shields. Now It has be wondering is she just saying that and they're finishing up the season or did my prayers (along with others) get answered and it's still on!

I enjoyed the post by A Glimpse of the Girl Nest Door regarding finding new blogs. I too enjoy searching everyones blogrolls for new blogs. It's always nice to come across a fun new read, and I do tend to backtrack to be caught up! No one likes to be out of the inside joke loop!

I will make a point to start posting the new blogs I find. Some of them may only be new to me, but it's always nice to get a shout out!

Yeah for tomorrow being Tuesday!!!

Late to the party...

So i just found out Lipstick Jungle is being cancelled...

I swear to you every show I get into gets whacked (knock on wood for One Tree Hill)!

On a very very happier note, I'm meeting CBM for a coffee this afternoon! One of the many perks of working so close! I will make sure to have a patron at Starbucks snap a picture!

This blog is going to get shaken up a bit so hang on with me!

Cheers

Agh

I hit my head just so in the shower last night (i bet down to turn off the water and moved to quickly). Things like this happen to me all the time so I didn't think much of it. I woke up in the middle of the night with a splitting headache and spent most of the day with that same pain. The weird thing is it was only in my left eye and temple. I "web md'd it" and the only thing I could come up with was an eye strain. Yes, that could be it, but I have never felt this type of pain before and it didn't go away with Advil. I wasn't on the computer at work as much as I normally am so I thought that would help, but it is now worse (i know i'm on the computer now). So needless to say i'm off to bed, but this is just so odd for me.

Tomorrow i'm going to be a great day!!! I have my weekly 8am leadership conference call but Kimba's working from home tomorrow so i'll be able to wake up and start working right away. We have our walk through in the morning and our closing in the afternoon!!!

Ok it's off to bed, i'm not feeling all to well.

Thanks for the comments, i'm happy to know everyone else also made the best out of pre-cana!!!!!

Oh, and i'm so happy Ambre Lake won Rock of Love II!

Gouda Football

We watched the Patriots game over at J & G's and we brought this wonderful oozing bundle of joy.

Crescent-Wrapped Gouda

Crescent-Wrapped Gouda Ingredients
7 ounces round natural Gouda cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 8 oz. can crescent dinner rolls


Instructions for Crescent-Wrapped GoudaHeat oven to 350 degrees. Cut cheese round in half crosswise to form 2 circles; remove from wax. Separate dough into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Place one rectangle on top of a second; repeat with remaining rectangles, making two double-thick rectangles. Press each into a 6-inch square; place cheese circle in center of each. Pull corners of dough to top center of cheese. Press dough tightly against cheese. Twist dough in center to seal, twisting off excess dough. Press seams to seal. Repeat to make second gouda wrap. Press out excess dough. With canape cutter or paring knife, cut out decorative shapes; place on top of each gouda wrap. Brush with beaten egg. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 mintues before serving.


Summing it all up, I took the Crescent and wrapped it around the gouda and put it in the oven until it started to brown and ooze. I did not use an egg, but I'm sure it adds more to the crust.

Just cut with a knife and dig in. Some people like to use crackers, but i don't see the need with the crust as a "holder"!

We had a very nice weekend. Friday we stayed in and rented Superbad and I was fast asleep by 10pm. Saturday we went to the gym and then ran around to Costco, Target, Best Buy and two Circuit Cities. Why you may ask, Music Guy talked me into buying a new TV. Which really was needed. The TV we had was one I got when I was a Sophomore in High School. I really do think it out weights me. This is the best time of year to buy one as the Super Bowl is coming and they drop the prices and they go back up the Monday after.

Speaking of Super Bowl, Lets Go Pats! It was a fun game to watch with a group of fun people. What was not so fun, the game after. My poor Packers, not even "poor" I'm a bit use to seeing Brett Favre throwing an interception in a big game. It sucked and I was not happy.

Sorry for the lack of post, with everything going on last week and just the stress I've put on myself when the weekend came I had no energy to be creative. I'll kick that!

Some TV shows I'm all about:

Snoop Dogg Father Hood
One Tree Hill
Biggest Loser
Cashmere Mafia
Cheers (I never watched it nor watched reruns, I am now though, I heart TV Land)
Sex and the City (again never had HBO, reruns)

All of my other shows are reruns now.

Speaking of Sex and the City, does anyone have a good place where I can rent the DVD's. I really think I'm going to be a big fan but I do not want to spend $200 to catch up. I've been DVRing it but it is always all over the place.

You are not the biggest loser....

Well my girl Kae was eliminated last night on the Biggest Loser. She looked fantastic when she came back for the live weigh in! I didn't realize Neil (from Marblehead) was only 25, he looks 35. Nothing wrong with looking 35....but there is when you're 25. I wish when they were weighing in they would tell you their height. I like Sami Brady...err Alison Sweeney as the host though she's been looking a little busted as of late. Great show!

It's been a busy last few days. I spent as much time in the office yesterday then I did at home. But I am hoping to leave early today and won't be back until Monday! Looking forward to a very nice Thanksgiving on the Cape.

Hit the gym this morning, I always forget how freaking wonderful it is to have the gym out of the way!

Oh...speaking of Biggest Loser one of the trivia questions was "How many grams of sugar is in one large scoop of canned Cranberries" I don't remember the exact number but it was close to 104. The same as 5 candy bars. Yep, canned cranberries are my fave side dish. Thanks!

I know some of you are participating in NaBloPoMo and I am also trying to make a showing. I have posted everyday and though some are pretty weak it's still a post right? Well the other night Music Guy said my blog is now watered down. I agree but who asked him anyway! So thanks to those who are sticking with me. Something exciting is bound to happen in the month of November for me to post about, I promise!


One thing I am thankful for are my fabulous blog friends!

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

Can't talk people busy

Gosh I love that Fed Ex commercial!

Well the last quarter of the year has started and it was started with a bang. My outlook calendar is booked solid from 8-5 (ok fine most days 9-5). But since that is the case it means business is gong well.

I've gotten back into my gym routine this week after a few weeks errr month of slacking. Hey you try to get into a routine after being Cape, ACK and wedding bound for weeks at a time...back off! :)

Very much looking forward to the game tonight. I have to kick off a meeting at 4:30 and I think I'll run to the gym after for a quick workout and then walk home and be set for the Sox game by 6:30. I also have to run by the store and pick up chicken sausage, peppers and onions to make the Kimba (more Music Guy) famous Fenway Sausages.

Exciting stuff I know people.

I discovered you can watch some of the hold episodes of The Hills and Life with Ryan onDemand. Two shows I only knew of but never watched. But thanks to our housemates on ACK I am hooked. Yes that's correct we spent some of our beloved time on the Island catching up with LC. I never watched Laguna Beach so I've been searching the internet and asking those around me to fill me in. Sad very sad...Hey Kimba MSBNC called...it said cut the shit.

Hope you guys are having a good week, and are ready for PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!! (sorry Suz)

The Starter Wife

Did any one see Debra Messing's new series on USA Network "The Starter Wife"?

I found it pretty funny, i also enjoy her as an actress so that helps. I am trying to catch up on my DVR's. Most of the things I DVR are not ones Music Guy would want to watch, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and of course Wedding Shows. He's great about it but I don't tend to stick around while he's watching fishing shows. Actually I'll take that back, i do!

It ended up only taking 3 hours and 23 minutes to do my hair last night. Good thing my stylist and I enjoy talking! But last night was one of those nights I would have enjoyed just reading and not chit chatting. But I a good sport and played along.

I am not going to be able to met CBM tonight for a drink. Today/tonight is the only day I can work late to prepare for a meeting Thursday morning. It might actually work out better for her and I as the weather is suppose to turn crappy by 5pm.

Trying to figure out what I want to do this weekend. I need to spend a lot of time "picking up" I am in the middle of changing over my summer and winter clothes. Meaning there is stuff all over. It will depend when Music Guy goes down, if he leaves early on Friday I'll stay but then part of me thinks why waste a perfectly good weekend. There will be times we won't go down if we see the weekend will be a washout. Thoughts?

I need skittles, that's what I think.

Sox Tuesday

You know you have a good friend when they text you from some very fabulous seats at Fenway!

Not much blogging time but wanted to thank you all for the Cake Server idea's, I need to get one ordered by end of week to insure it arrives in time for the shower!

I just figured out this weekend will kickoff the crazy summer weekends Kimba will be enjoying. Of course the weekend events post will come later in the week, would hate to run out of things to blog about on a Tuesday!

Much love to my boy Blake on idol! And a sad goodbye to Gilmore Girls, it's been real ladies!
