Mission: Obsessed!!!

Lately I’ve developed this really unhealthy obsession with the 60′s/70′s television show Mission: Impossible. It’s weird because my mom used to always watch reruns of the show when I was little and I thought she was crazy. And when she was little my Gram used to watch the original episodes and she used to think my Gram was insane for being addicted to that show. I’m in my twenties, my mom’s in her forties, and Gram is in her sixties, and we all love that show. I guess that just goes to show you that good television stands the test of time. I don’t really see any shows these days that I love to watch that I can see my future kids being obsessed with.

My mom and I watch a few episodes daily at the end of our work day and we can’t get enough. On the weekend we sometimes watch like four or five episodes. Addiction! It’s unfortunate though because there were only seven seasons. We’ve already watched five of them. I’m going to be really sad when it’s over. =/ I might try watching those Mission: Impossible movies, but I’m sure I wont like them. Part of the reason I love the show is because of the amazing cast. Boo!

It’s Their Cooking…

My stomach feels weird. It’s been feeling weird for the past few days and I’m not sure why. I’m thinking it had something to do with the butter pecan ice cream that I had on Saturday. Or maybe it was the dumplings I had on Monday. My Gram made them and they tasted good, but for some reason I always get sick when she cooks. If I didn’t know better I would think she was doing something to me. I doubt it though since my mom never gets sick from eating her cooking. Only me. I really need to stop eating food that other people cook. The only time I don’t get sick is when I eat my mom’s cooking. Suspicious. It’s bad when eating your family’s cooking makes you want to go buy the best colon cleansing product on the market just to get the food out of your system! That’s a very bad sign. Maybe it’s also a sign that I need to stop cheating on my diet. It’s really not worth the pain!

Ever Expanding…

For the first time in a while I think my family may go a few years without having children. It honestly seems like someone in my family is having a child every year or two. I guess that’s to be expected when you have a family as large as mine. The youngest person in my family is two years old. His sister is four. It seems as if there’s two years between every person in the family. I think the largest gap we have between people is about six years.

It’s sad because births really aren’t that special to my family anymore. I know when most people find out that someone in their family is having a child they get really excited and start handing out cigars. Not in my family. We’d go broke. I couldn’t imagine passing out boxes of romeo y julieta vintage cigars every year or so. Hopefully 2010 will be pregnancy free! Haha.

Nervous Week Ahead…

It’s almost 11 at night and I’m about to make some tea and watch a DVD or something. I’m kind of bored, but I’m not really ready to go to sleep yet. I’ll probably go to sleep around 1 in the morning though because I have to get up early tomorrow with my mom. Tomorrow she has to go to take a bunch of tests. She has to go to the cardiologist for blood work to see how her heart is doing. I’m nervous about that because she’s been in pain a lot lately. One time when she went to get blood work done her heart was racing so fast she needed emergency assistance. They didn’t even want to release her after the tests were over. Ugh.

But yeah, tomorrow after she finishes with the heart doctor she has to go take a physical for work. I’m not sure how that’s going to go. On Thursday she has to go back to the heart doctor to get the results of her blood work. I think I’m more afraid of these things than she is. I always worry so much that she’s going to get bad news. I probably wont sleep until Friday. And that’s if the news isn’t bad.
