FINALLY A REAL POST

Sorry for the sorta long hiatus. I didnt even realize how much I havent been posting, but then I looked at the date of my last posts. woops. This is what I've been up to, and some of my reasons for my blog hiatus: (Warning: this post is about 10 posts crammed into one, so its gonna be a long one)


WHAT IVE BEEN UP TO:

PLAZA RESEARCH
I participated in a focus group and was paid $100 for basically talking about my opinion for 2 hours. It was the easiest $100 I've ever made. This is the website I signed up at to participate in the focus group: www.plazaresearch.com

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
I went to the shows tour a couple weeks ago, and it was AWESOME. We had really good seats, and were pretty much close enough to touch the dancers. My sister brought her camera, and here are some pictures from the show:
(waiting to get pictures from sis before i post them)


SOME OF THE MANY THINGS CONTRIBUTING TO MY LACK OF EXTRA TIME TO BLOG AWAY EVERY DAY....

NEW WEBSITE ADDICTION
I discovered a new website called ITSYOURTURN.COM to fulfill my game loving addiction. Its a really cool website where you can play a large assortment of games, and have a bunch of games going at the same time. You have a couple days to make each move of the game, so you can play when you have a couple spare minutes. Thats what its intended to be for at least. For me, I end up playing the games ALL DAY EVERYDAY. I'm trying to let go of that addiction, but its taking time.

BUSY AT WORK
For a while at work, I wasn't very busy, and had lots of extra time to blog every day, but lately I've had a lot of work to do consistently, and havent had as much extra time to blog away.

SHARING A CAR WITH MY HUSBAND
I used to go online before work each day, but now i get up an hour early to drive my awesome husband to work every day. He had a motorcycle for awhile which he used to drive to work, but that was totalled in an accident a couple months ago.

MY NEW WINTER SLEEP SCHEDULE
I've been going to sleep a LOT earlier lately becuase of the fact that it gets dark so early. Im narcoleptic, so at night, I pass out in one second without even knowing im falling asleep. It moves my already early bedtime from 9 oclock to sometimes 730. It makes for very short days, thus lack of extra time for blogging.

MY ONGOING TV ADDICTION

I'm still watching my shows mentioned in my earlier post, Monday through Wednesday. Now I've added a new show to my weekly schedule not mentioned before:CHUCK. I
started watching it because it came on before HEROES,and didnt particularly love it. But, NOW Im hooked. Fall is always a busy time for me because all the shows im busy watching. And on THURSDAYS I have been going on to abc.com, cbs.com, and nbc.com and browsing through all their shows online, since you can watch full episodes of lots of shows online now. Its pretty fun. It sure is a time waster though.

As for TV SHOWS....LOST IS COMING BACK SOON!!!!
I hope this isnt the last season for the show, because of the stupid stupid stupid STUPID writers guild strike. JUST PAY THEM WHAT THEY WANT AND DONT TAKE AWAY MY SHOWS PLEASE!!!!! I also heard a rumour somewhere on the internet that after the next 3 episodes of hereos, that its not coming back. PLEASE NOOOOOO!!!!!!

Glad to see your back on the blog bandwagon. I've been trying to participate in a focus group, but so far I haven'te been eligible for anything. Cool you got $100. Good thing you don't live in Chicago right now because then your bedtime would be 4:30. Seriously, it was pitch black by 4:30 today. and yes, I'm excited for LOST! That also means my LOST group gets back together which=more socializing time. :)
