seems that The Mr. and i haven't quite made our mark yet...

our mailman mistakenly delivered magazines to us b/c both of our address #s is 170.  so littlegirl and i went on a stroll so i could put them in the right mailbox.  the lady was outside and as i gave them to her, we talked for a few minutes.  

first, she said she's getting ready for the "neighborhood yard sale"  which, of course, i know nothing about.  
then, she asked where i live.  when i told her, she said "oh the Smiths??" to which i responded "yes, the Smiths house ten years ago".  of course, that prompted her to ask how long we've lived here.  
that would be 10 years.

when i met my first friend in the neighborhood about 7 years ago, i had the same reaction.  she asked if we just moved in.  i said "no, we've lived here for 3 years now"

granted we don't have an HOA in our neighborhood, so i don't know anyone either.  so i'm not sure how i was to know about the yard sales and such.  but still.  The Mr. are out and about in our n'hood waaaaay more than most people.  we always work outside or take walks.
in one instance, i was referred as "oh! you're the lady with the stroller!"

i was just telling my friend that when we lived in our apartment, i couldn't wait  to be in a neighborhood so i can meet neighbors....




**and i got the title idea from a great little show that shouldn't have been canceled that The Mr. and i only just discovered on Netflix streaming.  guess we've been too busy hanging out with our neighbors.

who's your favorite?

i saw a commercial the other day for the new show coming in the fall: cougar town.
it's nice to see courteney cox in a new show. i guess dirt is over. i doubt i'll be watching this new show either.
one thing that struck me, though, is that the announcer said something to the effect of "a favorite Friend is back." which made me dispute out loud. i noticed just now, watching another commercial for it, that he left that part out this time. i rewound it to be sure.

The Mr. then asked me who i thought that would be. so i listed for him who i thought that was. i said:

1. chandler
2. phoebe
3. rachel
4. joey
5. monica
6. ross

i listed who i thought may be in that order according to what i thought would be public opinion.

my own personal list would pretty much keep it the same, except i'd put monica below ross. and depending on the day, i'd probably change out joey & rachel.

of course, he googled it & after disputing that chandler would be even near the top (he ranked him #6), this is the list he found:

1. chandler
2. joey
3. ross
4. phoebe
5. rachel
6. monica

so, here- i ask you. you're the public. what's your opinion??

writers strike sucks

as i was sitting here trying to think of a topic, The Mr. told me that Journeyman is over as of tonight. that's actually one of the shows that is different and we really like it. we've even stayed up plenty o' times till 11 so we could watch it.

this writers strike really sucks. LOST is gonna be affected, too- apparently. and i was already fearful they'd lose a lot of viewers for making us wait till the end of january.... but with the promise of running consecutive episodes made it bearable.
but since they only have 8 of the 16 in the works---- who knows now!

we have a few good shows out there right now that we enjoy. pushing daisies was so quirky, fun, & different. not sure how that will go.

we so miss the office.... the only thing good to come out of thursday tv nights since that original lineup in college.

the only reality shows we really watch are: so you think you can dance, & dancing with the stars.

we've been delaying watching some shows in our tivo queue so we'll have something to watch later if the strike continues.

someone pay these people! we must see tv!
