It's Over

Well here is the box with all the Dark Shadows DVD's - over 125 of them.   It includes the entire TV daytime series - 5 plus years, the remake in the early 90's, the two Dark Shadow's movies, and a bunch of DVD's filled with bloopers, reunion shows, outtakes, commentaries, guest appearances on What's My Line and other TV shows and more.


It's over - Finished up the last DVD last night. 


Kinda sad - been watching these since last Spring I believe.  Sorry to see it end!   Oh well, never fear - my husband has now gotten me the entire Twin Peaks series to watch and also the TV show "The Monkees"! So will still have something to watch while I'm hooking!

The big thing in eastern PA here is the weather - we got about 6 inches on Wednesday, about 12-14 inches yesterday and an inch is expected today - I'm tired of this white stuff - Spent two hours shoveling with my husband yesterday just to get our cars in and out and there is no where to go with the snow so it was getting hard to lift the snow to the top of the mounds!   I was kidding my husband yesterday and told him I wanted to grill something that he would have to go shovel off the deck to get to the grill! LOL Never happened and I was kidding! 

Never mind the mess on the floor (have to pull things out of the cabinet to use the printer) - The other day I was printing things out - here's a way to get your kitties quiet! 



They were absolutely fascinated listening and watching the paper in the printer! Too funny!   Riley went over and put his paw on the paper and then looked at the top of the printer and then back down and was trying to figure it out - Just had me laughing!  I wonder if he looks at me while I'm picking out wool and thinking "look how fascinated that human is touching that wool" and then laughs at me?  Hmmm something to ponder.

Now, I just feel like venting about something - feel free to skip this part.   The other day, in the mail, I got an envelope from AARP -- in it was a registration card made out to me with a sticker that said call to activate and arrange payment terms!  THE ENVELOPE AND CARD GOT SHREDDED AND  I WAS NOT AMUSED

Then on the phone the next day was a message from our medical insurance Blue Cross/Blue Shield - and to paraphrase "Now that you approaching a certain age, be sure to schedule these blah blah blah test"....  THE MESSAGE GOT DELETED AND I WAS NOT AMUSED

And then again, in the mail, from my family doctor, a pamphlet about all the tests I should now think about getting because I approaching "that age".  THE PAMPHLET GOT RIPPED UP AND THROWN AWAY AND I WAS NOT AMUSED

And did I mention that after telling a "so called good friend" about this - she told me she had a house in an adult community I may be interested in!  I WAS NOT AMUSED (OH okay maybe a little amused!)

I still have TIME I'm not there yet!  My upcoming birthday was not an issue but these things are trying to make it a big deal! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Wonder what's going to happen to me the day of my birthday?  Am I going to wake up and suddenly be and feel different?   Will I self-destruct if I don't join and sign and schedule and get tested? Oh my goodness!  Okay done venting! Just have to laugh I guess (after some grumbling of course!)

Have a great weekend!  I plan to and plan to stay feeling young and alive!

Yeah, it's kind of insulting at first because they have to start nagging about *IT* so darn early! They just can't wait to put you in *THAT* category! Wait till they start asking if you're elidgable for the *Senior Discount*!!!
Though home in a retirement community does sound nice. They probably shovel your snow for you!

I got that same envelope from AARP a few days ago. It ended up the same place as yours. We are still young, I just don't look in the mirror. hehe

Well Joanne it's not over, it's just begining ...all down hill on Feb. 4th. But I have to say you always have a positive attitude about things. You will be just fine. And remember, you only look half your age.

I can relate about the end of the Dark Shadows run. My husband and I rented the entire Poldark series that was on PBS when we were teens. Now, I'm dating myself. It's fun to watch the oldies but goodies!
