What are you watching this fall on TV? I like to know what I'm missing! We did give up on some shows already - NCIS: LA, The Forgotten, and some are already cancelled - which is OK because we didn't love them.
We still have our old favorites that we are watching - Big Bang, How I Met your Mother, Grey's, Private Practice, Office, Project Runway, Psych (loosing interest fast though), Biggest Looser (thank god for the DVR - I just like to see who gets eliminated, I don't need to watch people work out!), Bones, and our TLC Shows.
We really picked up the ABC Comedies this year - Cougartown, Modern Family and The Middle are ALL great and we're enjoying those so much. Also - I just recorded White Collar on USA and can't wait to watch that - My mom insists it's great and we'll love it. Also, totally digging Glee this year - just for me! It's so teeny bopper stupid sinful but I love it!
So what new shows should we be watching that we're missing?

Give it up for Boston...
Thursday night Adam and I went to our 2nd Red Sox game this season. It was a split game for me as the Red Sox took on the Chicago White Sox. Adam assured me if I wore white socks with my tennis shoes and my Red Sox shirt, I'd be supporting either team in a win.
Unfortunately the sox of the red color lost - stupid Tazawa on the mound - two games this season, he was up to pitch at both of them and he SUCKS! How's he's pitching in the majors is beyond us. The rookie they brought in near the end was much better! Final score 9-5.
It really was a great game, but what made it even more fun was the opening antics -
The National Anthem was sung by - (brace yourself mom) Shaun Cassidy. Oh yeah, seriously - CUTE! Still!!! Great voice... the women were going crazy!!! The rest of the night I had "I Think I Love You" stuck in my head - over, and over and over - until the bottom of the 7th and we sang Sweet Caroline.
And 3 first pitches all at the same time, 2 people, I don't know who the heck they were, but the best first pitch was by Boston's own Dennis Leary!
All in all, a great night out at the ball park!
We're so lucky that it's so easy for us to get up to Boston for the games!

Is it worth it to even travel anymore??
I just read this story on CNN about how US Air is increasing their baggage fees by another $5.
OK $5 - that's my breakfast at Dunkin' when I splurge once in a great while on a medium iced tea and a egg white turkey sausage flat bread - no biggie.
But earlier this year, American increased their baggage fees too.
Couple that on top of the rising cost of the tickets - it's a near impossibility to travel for Adam and I - two people - let alone a whole family - I don't know how they do it?
Case in point - my mom wants to come to RI for Thanksgiving - that plan has now been scrapped because for 4 months now we haven't been able to find anything under $400+ bucks for her for 3 days - not worth it what so ever.
Yesterday, I priced airfare for Adam and I for a jaunt to Vegas - the one city you can find a cheap hotel room in, (because we're in desperate need of some down time together away from computers, emails, phones and the house), over $400 on southwest. SOUTHWEST - the supposedly cheap airline is charging $400 - last year we could get that flight from Providence for 2 something.
Adam and I have used up 2 of our 3 weeks of vacation already - both times opting to stay home and work on the house because we can't afford to fly anywhere and can't get our act together far enough out to plan a driving trip somewhere.
So my question is to you with families out there? How do you even afford to take your 1+ children to Disney any more for a trip, the trip every true American family wants to make with their children at some point in the duration of their innocent childhood - the airfare, the hotels, the park fees, the food. It's insane?!?
I know people on the news are tauting that you can find awesome deals right now - but where are they please? Because anytime I search I find NO DEALS. Sorry if that deal is in the middle of bumble-fuck Mississippi, eh I'm not interested.
I'm starting to feel that the airlines and travel industry are returning to the days when travel was a luxury for the wealthy - because let's face it you have to be pulling in 6 figures to fly your family on a vacation or rack up a pretty hefty Visa bill!!

Last Weekend
Well most of our weekends are pretty uneventful - cleaning house, laundry, errands, etc.
But this past weekend I can say was swamped!
Saturday was the Annual Save The Bay Swim for my work, and Adam as always was a trooper to join me at 5:30 am in Jamestown to help. He's a great schlepper, helper and is a mean parking patrol person!
I spend most of my time at the event in and out of the water so we rarely see one another.
But he's the best at always making it to the after party in time before they clean up to grab me a Del's Lemonade and a hot dog!!
We rushed home from the event to get cleaned up because we had to leave for a showing on the house.
So lunch and the market it was.
Saturday night we were so exhausted I dont' even think we did anything.
Sunday we were supposed to leave free to see houses with our agent, but we got everything in we wanted to see on Friday night so we had a day to chill - a rarity in the summer for us.
We went down to Galilee and got some great goodies at the farmers market, including two bottles of our favorite local honey.
Then we headed to the docks for lobsters and picked out our dinner! A little lunch on the beach - steamers and fries, some ice cream (dripping down adam's arms!), pick up some clams to have with the lobsters for dinner - what a great and perfect day! So glad we FINALLY made it down during lobster season!
And MMMM DELISH the lobsters were wonderful! Even the kitties enjoyed their pieces - yes we give the cats lobster - we love them and they are spoiled brats.
However the night ended quickly for me as I came down with some heat stroke. I guess little liquid over two days in the hot sun all day with only a diet pepsi and half a bottle of wine with dinner that night will do that to a girl - not smart - but oh well!
WOW that really is boring now that I re-read all of that!
Sorry!
We have nothing eventful in our lives other than work.

Movie Review
We decided to take some time off on sunday and just spend the day together. We haven't really done much of anything fun this summer so far except for our trip to Boston. Our weekends are filled with housework and house hunting.
So we went to lunch sunday and to see The Hangover.
Dear Lord I Haven't laughed that hard in the longest time, by far one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long while.
It's a bit crude and vulgar so if you aren't in to that skip it - but if you've got a sick sense of humor like us - You'll love it!!!
