Xmas Shopping

So it begins.... today Harry and I went out Christmas shopping. I love the holiday season and Christmas is my favorite holiday but man we were out only 3 1/2 hours and I was at my wits end with the stupid people out there shopping. I think the older I get the worse I get with crowds and traffic. We went to Target, Mervyn's and Wallmart and buy the time we left Wallmart I was ready to go home... I had had enough. So this was the best start to the holiday shopping season but we did buy a bunch of lights for the house.. I'm going to have a great time decorating our new house this year... I CAN'T WAIT.

Roaming Dogs

Maybe it's just because I lived in apartments all my life but I have never seen so many animals loose in the neighborhood. I see tons of cats but that's not really unusal. What surprise me were all the dogs running loose. Having Daisy and her being dog aggresive it's always tough when owners walk there dogs unleashed. But at our new place there are random dogs walking around the neighborhood unattended. This morning when I took Daisy out for a walk we noticed one across the street. As soon as this dog saw Daisy both dogs stopped and stared. Luckily I noticed this and started to head back to the house quickly as the dog started to run towards us. I got back in the house just in time but Daisy kind of gave me a look like that had to be the shortest walk ever.. instead I took her out in the backyard where it was safe. I think I'm going to have to buy some mace or pepperspray or something that I can use on "attacking" dogs.

Writers Strike

Well the TV and Movie writers have gone on strike. Many people have asked me will this effect my job since I work in TV. But for once I'm happy to say I work in reality TV and we don't use writers. That's not to say that reality TV isn't highly produced but we don't have official writers, plus we are a non-union show. So my job is safe and actually if the strike goes on for long there will be alot more reality show being done. I do hope the strike is resolved quickly. This strike not only effects the writers but soon it will have a trickle down effect and start effecting all the supporting jobs.

I'm a huge TV person and I know some shows have a few extra scripts already written that they can film.. but soon enough they will run out and then will get no more new TV. Which will effect production and postproduction a lot of people will be out of work. This could be the beginning of a very hard holiday season.

Feelling Better / Toy Room

Well today I was feeling better.. other then waking up in the morning with a stuff nose I felt 100% better then yesterday. So since I felt better I wanted to get some stuff done. Harry and I posted a bunch more items out our Ebay Store (which btw is doing pretty good). I also worked on my Toy room some more and got all but the bookshelves done. It looks great and I can't wait to show it off.
