... There seem to be a lot of unknowns in my life right now.
I don't know where we're going to be living in a month.
I don't know what city we're going to be living in in two months.
I don't know where I'll be working in two months.
I don't know where Alma will be going to law school in a month and a half.
There's not much I can do about these unknowns.
I'm trying not to be too stressed about this.
A is for Alexis & Alma ...

B is for Broken...
... I broke our television today. It no longer turns on.
Really, it's no great loss - except now we have no way to watch SYTYCD.
The TV was already partially broken. No remote control, which was a huge problem when I felt too lazy to get off the couch. The down channel button was broken, so changing the channel meant possibly going through all 65 channels, especially if you go to fast and accidentally click past the one you want. And the DVD player connection was broken, so we couldn't watch any movies on it.
Like I said, it's no great loss, but it was the only thing we had to watch our favorite shows on.
At first I was excited cause I thought I finally had the perfect excuse to get the HD TV I've been coveting at Costco. But thanks to recent (certain sport equipment) expenses, we don't have much extra cash laying around.
I guess what I'm getting at is ... Anyone happen to have a TV they want to get rid of?

H is for Hundred ...
... This is my 100th blog post! Exciting. It took me a little longer than expected to get to it because I've been so blog-lazy lately.
... I just realized I have over 200 recipes in my cook-this list on my computer. And that's not counting cookbooks. I'll probably never get them all crossed off, but it's always good to have a lot of choices to choose from!
Just thought you should know those two things. Hope your week is going swimmingly!

G is for Golf...
... I've lost my husband to golf. Literally. He comes home from work, then heads to the range for a couple of hours almost every night.
Last night he said: I'm so happy the NBA finals are over so I have more time to golf.
When Alma picks anything over watching the Lakers in the FINALS, you know it's a big deal.
He also said: I can't believe I can love anything as much as golf. I think I like it better than basketball and football.
I hope I'm not included in that "anything." But it may be a possibility.
Unfortunately, I also seemed to have lost his half of our monthly paycheck. Oh that's right, it's not lost. It's sitting in my living room, in the form of a brand new golf bag full of shiny new golf clubs and a pair of golf shoes and gloves.
Geez, golf is an expensive game. I've lost my husband's time and his money!

S is for SYTYCD...
... So You Think You Can Dance has started in earnest, but unfortunately I haven't been able to watch as many episodes as I want largely due to the NBA conference finals monopolizing my television screen.
I did, however, watch last night's episode, and I learned some bad news and some good news.
First, the bad news. They seem to be kicking off all the good dancers. Don't bother getting attached to anyone, because chances are, they probably won't make it. Remember Natalie, Katee's BFF from last year? I was really rooting for her, and she somehow got cut.
But don't worry, just because I'm a little miffed right now doesn't mean I won't be watching and loving SYTYCD this year. I'm sure there will be a few dancers I'll grow to love this season just like last year.
Which leads to the good news. Fox is having a FALL SEASON of SYTYCD this year! Yippee! I guess they got the clue that the whole world loves SYTYCD. This is great news. Now I'll have a full two-seasons worth of SYTYCD and I won't have to wait an entire year to see it again. And maybe Natalie will audition again and get the credit she deserves this time.
The world really is a beautiful place.
*Note: Alma is not as excited about this news as I am. But he'll be in law school, so it won't really matter as he won't be spending much time in front of the television screen.
