Yoo 386 - Serious Business

I sit here, listening to the local news buzz from my TV downstairs, quite pleased with myself. Like girly squeals and bouncing around on my exercise ball pleased.

A forty dollar antenna (the leaf, totally recommend it) and some intimate time with my TV instruction manual and settings later and I'm all set up with local TV. Local TV meaning NBC meaning the Olympics.

The Olympics is serious business up in here.


So serious that I scheduled my wedding before instead of during and almost purchased a cable subscription just for one month to watch.

That was after I realized that streaming live coverage online was only possible if you had a TV subscription and before I realized that I could get the local station with a cheap antenna.

I'm a problem-solver, is basically what I'm bragging about here. *fingernail shine* I mean, how many other people could have figured that out? --> besides millions and tens of millions...

SPEAKING OF FINGERNAILS...mine are all gone. I was so vigilant last week, as was the Kyoo mom. Every time I started picking at them she'd remind me that I wanted fingernails for the wedding and then I'd remind myself that I wanted fingernails for the wedding. And they were mighty fine! All for the wedding and the duration of this week. Long, beautiful nails (relatively speaking for kyoonails). Until I went back to work. Work! I bit them all off today.

Shame!

But back to how I'm a problem-solver. One time I hoisted a box up to a tree branch and lured my stuck cat into it with a can of cat food. He took the bait, jumped in, and I lowered him down all elevator-like. He'd been stuck up there for over a week so I was kind of his hero. A dumb cat's hero = one to put on the resume.

Stew on that while I go watch the opening ceremonies and otherwise remove myself from society and fall in love with a hundred new athletes for the next two weeks.

Have a great day :-)
