Rain, rain go away !

My older brother use to sing to me "Rain made it rain and she thought it was a shame".  Funny uh.  Well, living here in Ca. I want it to stop raining because we want to be outside.  Believe me I know most of the country is in blizzard weather and for that I am so sorry.  I would not want to have to deal with snow.  I mean you can only make so many snowmen or have a snowball fight (although I must admit some of my best memories are growing up in Kansas making snowmen and having snowball fights. Ha!  Well,maybe it's the age,).  Now that I'm older I can't seem to get enough sun, especially in the morning with a cup of coffee in hand and sun warming my back as I sit outside in a lawn chair.  Heaven.

Tonight we are going to Tight Wad Tuesday at our local theatre.  Is not that a funny line.  We are going to see Valentines Day.  Yes, I know Valentines is over but that's how it is with Tight Wad Tuesday.  We might not get to see the first runs but we do get to see them at a discount price, it's a night out, and we don't have to think about the rain.  Sounds like a plan to me.

Right now I'm watching the Food Channel.  Don't you just love this channel.  I swear I can always turn it on and relax and enjoy.  They make cooking healthy, fun and easy.  I mean I have tried a lot of the recipe's and they are good and easy to make and to top it off healthy for you.  My favorite is Giada, Barefoot Contessa,  Sandra Lee, Rachel and of course Paula.  She reminds me of my Mom's cooking. 

I also love watching HGTV.  Especially house hunters when they go outside the US.  I don't get that, I mean some of the countries are fine but who wants to buy a condo with all the latest furnishings and half a mile down the road the local people are living in poverty.  I mean come on, people.  Being a little decadent aren't we.  I would rather find a warm ocean beach in the good ole USA and help the locals  if you can afford the area you can afford to put back.  That is just one girls opinion. 
I do like the show Color Splash.  Isn't he good.  Most of the time I do agree with him on color and style.  There use to be a decorating show on with a guy name Christopher  ? .  I don't remember his last name but he was the best.  No one has come close to his ideas and his how-to-shows.  He would take you through how to do all the decorating and even the best price stores.  I really wish he would come back  I remember he decorated a studio apartment.  Just one room and part of that room had kitchen cabinets, small stove and small frig.  Of course off of this was a small bathroom.  Anyway by the time the show was over he had divided it into kitchen, living room and bedroom.  It was amazing !  I was so impressed and it looked adorable.  Christopher where are you now????

Speaking of which my own place could use some cleaning up so will write more later.   Tootles
