Tony Orlando Lost Weight, A Satellite is Going to Slam the Earth And I Love Mondays!!

(Not really on the loving Mondays part, but the rest is true and you're supposed to put crazy titles on blogs, so that was about as crazy as I could get at the moment!)
It's winter time, it's cold and kind of gloomy. We have colds. And it's Monday. How's that for whining?
Now. All better. With the whining out of the way, I guess I should think of a few things that are good about this day.
Monday is almost over! (It's nearly 4:30!) And Tony Orlando lost 103 lbs on NutriSystem "at the tender age of 63!" HA! That commercial makes me laugh right out loud. It was a REAL "glamour DON'T" for Tony to show that picture with his shirt off. GACK! In fact, I think it may even backfire on NutriSystem. If I had a poster of poor "big boy" Tony on my fridge, I might easily be able to keep my appetite under control. It's tough to see a former heart throb looking more like a heart by-pass candidate.
So, I still have my sense of humor for a Monday. I'm sure glad for that. Looks like NutriSystem gave Tony a face lift too. Do you get that free with the meals?
I don't know...seems like we get harassed too much on TV. Leave me alone already! I'm at home in my own space and NutriSystem has been calling me fat since Halloween! Seems like the TV was invented to ENTERTAIN US, not be our parents, our food police, tell us what is and isn't beautiful, and WHO is and isn't beautiful! We could opine on those things ourselves way back when. (Remember when beauty was in the eye of the beholder? And when "pretty is as pretty does?") So, sorry Tony. I was a little hard on you there, buddy. Glad you got rid of 103 pounds of unsightly belly fat. You can come and tie all the yellow ribbons you want around my oak trees or knock 3 times on the ceiling if you forgive me for talking smack about your diet on my blog. You look great, the doctors matched your eyes up pretty evenly when you had your work done and the hair looks almost real!
Once upon a time, we watched TV just for FUN! There were sitcoms, variety shows, documentaries, and there was kind of a schedule that you "knew" what was happening when. When I was a kid, "Welcome Back Kotter" was on Friday nights. Sonny and Cher was on Sunday nights. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom was a Sunday night event too. You dodged spending the night with grandparents on the weekend because Saturday nights were filled with Lawrence Welk re-runs on PBS! No fair!
I can't remember when The Tony Orlando and Dawn show came on..it was mid-week, I think, but I loved it...way back when.
Today, like every category of our lives, we have too many choices. Too many channels. Too many decisions that really are not decisions at all...just too much to think about.
Monday is a constant reminder that we have 4 more days ahead to get things done in a weeks time...then we have earned a weekend.
This week, all the politicians are jockeying to be correct in who will win primaries. There is a satellite on a collision course with the earth. I guess we shouldn't worry too much though. It's only going 10,000 miles per hour and it's only as big as a (quote) "small bus." Hmm. Kinda scares me. If anything the size of a small bus hit my house at a casual 10,000 miles per hour, I'm not sure I'd make it out alive. So, we'll see what Neil Cavuto has to tell me about it. Perhaps he can reassure me that it's no big deal.
Everything looks worse on a Monday. I'll bet Tony Orlando cheats on his diet on Mondays. Hmmm....a Hershey's Kiss sounds pretty good right now. I'm going to the candy bowl and congratulate myself. I made it through MONDAY.
Till next time...
