House Call

First of all, if you haven’t figured out by some of the cryptic blog post titles here and there, I am seeing someone. As I told my mom, it is not the dude from the laundromat, but the situation is complicated and I am still trying to sort things out. I am not sure where it is going or if it will go anywhere, but he makes me laugh and for now that is enough. :)

Of course, all the time I am spending with him has drastically cut into my stitching time. I take my stitching with me because we keep insisting that we need to work on spending time in “companionable silence,” but for some reason when something gets unzipped, it isn’t my stitching bag! :lol:

Nevertheless, I did get some stitching time in this weekend while watching Season 1 of House M.D. As you may or may not know, when I moved to Texas I left my $10 yard sale TV in Iowa. As a result of this TV-lessness, I have been totally jonesing for Dr. House and finally decided to join Netflix so that I can watch TV shows that I missed while I was in Germany or have never seen in English and movies on my computer.

Writers strike or not, with no TV I have obviously not yet seen the current season of House, but I am thoroughly enjoying seeing all the previous episodes in order. I figure by the time I catch up on the first three seasons, Season 4 should be close to being released on DVD.

Anyway, while I was drooling over Dr. House, I worked on Outi’s replacement birthday exchange piece. Though I have no pictures to share at the moment, you can rest assured that I did not drool on the linen. ;)

And as I usually say when I have no pictures to do the talking for me and I am running out of things to say, the exchange piece is coming along nicely, I am enjoying stitching it immensely, and I believe it is on schedule to be finished and mailed by December 1.

TTFN!

    Good luck with the new boy…. :-)

    My husband got me hooked on House when he came back from England. (He was working there for six weeks). House is apparently very big over there because of Hugh Laurie, but it’s a great show anyway.

    Best of luck with the new relationship!!

    If you’re looking for other shows to watch on DVD I’d recommend Grey’s Anatomy (the first two seasons are fantastic). I’m hoping to catch up on How I Met Your Mother because I just recently got into that show.

    I love House as well and I am also a Netflix member. You can watch most TV shows on your computer from online. I had to laugh about unzipping and not being your cross stitching. Good luck with the relationship.

    Glad you found a way to get your Dr. House fix. I’ve not tried netflix yet, but am tempted too. The video store near me just closed, and the others are a distance away. I’ve heard good things on netflix, so maybe. Also, that’s great you’ve found someone that you click with and makes you happy, sounds like your move is working out well in a number of ways. :)
