Blogging from Work

Sorry for the lapse in posting. I am blogging from work today! Yes, I am working on a Saturday trying to get a handle on some very big projects. I am hoping that my ultra busyness in May will lead to a nice and mellow summer full of days off! We'll see! My day started out with this:Isn't it gorgeous. I loved the bright purple and green colors in contrast (it looked even better in real life). This was a spinach smoothie for me and Greg (hence the pitcher instead of the blender cup) which included blueberries. I wanted a shot before the bright green spinach made it kind of brown. It actually became kind of eggplant colored but it was so pretty before. Still loving these and am having about 4 oz of spinach in mine each day. So cool!

We have been spending all our free time lately watching our new flat screen TV! It came almost 2 weeks early which was a huge surprise. We don't have cable so we were skeptical about how good TV would look on a big screen especially since it looked pretty bad on our little screen! Well Greg went out to Radio Shack and got us a new antenna that can receive digital signals over the airwaves. HOLY COW! The picture is amazing. Here is a before using the analog signal (totally grainy and sometimes warbly) and an after shot using the digital signal. And this is without cable or a roof antenna. Can I just say we couldn't read words on our TV before! And little did I know that there are extra channels! NBC for instance has NBC 1 which is the high def version of the regular channel plus 2 more channels. One that is all weather all the time (so handy!) and one that shows random other stuff. We are in heaven. I am sure everyone who gets digital high def says the same thing but we sit around saying stupid things like, "did you see that? Did you see that bead of sweat? I bet we wouldn't have seen that before!" or "whoa, look at Tina Fey's shiny hair! It never looked that shiny before!". Pretty pathetic. And my husband who is never into really "guy" things was supposed to go into work late on the day of delivery but ended up taking the entire day off so he could set-up and play around with the new TV. He went to Radio Shack twice to get special cables so that the DVDs would blow my mind too. So cute! We felt kind of guilty about spending money on a new TV when our old one still worked but it was 12 years old and only 19". We don't feel bad anymore!
