It was a rainy, thundering day today and my internet connection was awful so I gave up and decided to play my Jewel Quest game which does not require an internet connection since I own it on a disk. I didn't know how the TV was going to react since it, too, is satellite based but I decided I wouldn't watch any movies in case it got knocked off. So, I turned on the Comedy channel to watch comedians. I felt like having a laugh or two.
It was not a wasted effort. Although the TV did lose connection a few times, I watched a load of Julio Iglesias comedy shows and I just love him! He's a *clean* comedian and I really enjoy that. He's so funny when he talks about some of the places he's performed (like Saudia Arabia!). His jokes about his stepson hit the mark if you have ever raised a boy (I had two). I watched him for five or six hours and laughed out loud a lot. Laughing is healing or so I've read in some of the medical articles I've read so I figure I will be fine that much faster because of him...LOL!
The Beast was watching a day long documentary about the old kings of industry. We all know their names...Rockefeller and those guys that were all the venture capitalists of their day. He had to keep running into my room to tell me various ways that they screwed many supposedly brilliant people because they were NOT businessmen (like Edison). I hated having MY programs interrupted to hear about people that had no conscience about the way they did business just to amass a fortune that most of them never got to enjoy. But they sure left fortunes for their descendents to use and misuse.
But once he went to bed (early, which he seems to be doing a lot of lately), I could watch to my hearts content without interruption. It was heaven and it had stopped raining and thundering by then. The temperature outside is a really nice 72 degrees and it's going to go down into the 60's by the time I go to bed....nice! No AC on mostly because the humidity in the house hasn't gone up at all even with all the rain.
My girlfriend in California, Carol, decided to send me a surprise to make me feel good and guess what it was? Scented candles. They are so cute in mason jars and they smell great. She sent me a cinnamon, a French Vanilla and a Lemon Pound Cake one. They smell EXACTLY like they should. The Lemon Pound Cake one smells just like the lemon pound cake the Beast bought the other day. Even Chewlee recognized it when she smelled it. After I got them and thanked her for them (she knew I loved candles), she drops another bomb on me and says she sent me something else that will take until around the 9th of September for me to receive.. She says, *I know you will LOVE this one!*
So now I am really wondering. I loved the candles. What the hell could she be sending me that will top that??? I will be sure to let you know when I receive it. Any ideas?
Another Julio Iglesias is ready to start so I am going to leave you so I can relax and enjoy it. After this is a Kevin Hart one. I know the name but can't put a face to him. I hope he's a *clean* comedian. If not, I will be channel surfing....LOL!
Love you all. Have a great Sunday. Hope you have good weather. More thunderstorms for us or so my weatherbug tells me. Oh well! The flowers can use it. ***Hugs***
