The One-Eyed Monster is Back!

For one day - and hopefully for one day only - we have indulged in a whole lotta TV watching. Today was the fateful day that our expanded cable TV service began again - after almost 2 years of being without.

Today I have totally immersed myself in catching up with old friends on Food Network! First, Giada (she's too skinny - she needs to eat more of those carbs she cooks up!) and then the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten (I love her - she obviously eats what she cooks - and she & her husband Jeffrey are so cute - and her house in East Hampton....oh my!!). Ina made butter cream for a cake today - chocolate butter cream! I wanted to lick the tv screen, it looked so good!!!

I watched Rachel Ray make a 30 minute meal and some lady do a show called HEALTHY APPETITES and even out of sheer euphoria watched Guy Fieri's show (I really don't care for him, his food, or his style - but it was all due to the Food Network spell cast upon me).

When the kids got home, they immediately wanted to check out TV Land. And to their delight, one of Andrew's favorite shows was on: Hogan's Heroes! It was an episode we don't have on VHS, so it was an extra bonus. Later, Anna wanted to check out the Hallmark Channel - and they were advertising one of her favorite series, Love Comes Softly for Friday night.

We also watched an episode of THE COSBY SHOW - that brought back A LOT of memories of the 80's! and it was STILL funny today.

Dan immersed himself in ESPN and sports world on the other tv. Yep - we were TRUE tv junkies today!!! We even all watched an episode of Iron Chef America before putting the kids to bed (I love that show even though half the food they cook looks disgusting! And I, for one, think Alton Brown is HILARIOUS!!! Can't wait to catch an episode of GOOD EATS again).

It was a nice convenience to read the headlines on tv, to have the Weather Channel, and to see FOX NEWS again (I didn't miss Bill O'Reilly one bit though, even though I know he is on "our side").

Tomorrow we'll have to start monitoring our tv watching again - but today it felt good to just VEG OUT in front of the old boob-tube (never understood why it is caled that?!), the ol' telly, or as one preacher of a church my parents attended for short while called it: DEVILVISION...

My blood-shot eyes and fuzzy brain are now going to bed. But not before I pray for my husband:

Day 26
Pray that your husband will discover and live his God-given purpose. Pray that he will offer all
his dreams to the Lord, and pursue only those goals that will bring God glory and count for
eternity. (Jer. 29:11; 1 Cor. 10:31)
