Betsy Dwyer - Sunday, February 27, 2011

Ever felt like you forgot how to fly? I have not flown in over 1 month, due to moving, marriage and flu, in that order. I was called at 3 am to fly, during that 24 inch snow storm. I could not see my car in the driveway and my little hamlet of a town had not been plowed yet. So I could not do that one. Then I got called to do a 4 day over super bowl weekend, I was moving , the movers were already with me. So that was a no. Then I got a call for Feb 14-18, I was getting married on the 19th - I did not take it because it was too close to wedding date. I never missed my own wedding before. Talk about hot water, a lot of apology and disappointments. 

So now I have a trip leaving March 2- 10. I am at a loss. What did I do before that was so clockwork? My groove is gone, the timing is off, and my checklist of shopping has fallen a bit. Will they know? Probably not. But when you have been living in a house with regular doors, toilets, stoves and ovens, you get clumsy when on a corporate jet. You bang your knees and head a lot. I feel like Gulliver in a shrunken tube - a bull in a china shop. 

Will I fit and succeed? I will let you know.

I tore a ligament in my right gargoyle foot and had to stay off my "hoof" for 3 days. I actually watched television nonstop whilst on pain medication. When did television get so voyeuristic? I like to mind my own business, even when I am 90, I will not be sitting in my window watching people do what they do. I am perplexed about the following shows:

Big Brother- people living in a house who do not know each other (my childhood)

Celebrity Rehab- spoiled people wining all day (I can fly and get this)

The Kardasians- A lot of hair extensions and more use of the b----- word.

The housewives of NJ, NY, OC and DC. - Botox, gossip, designer clothing and more wah wah.

Flavor of Love. starring Flav a Flav. Why do these girls fight over him? Is he hot? How about the teeth?

Cupcake Cooking- cupcakes? really?

Jersey Couture- do those words even go?

You are cut off- spoiled kids living without credit cars, trying to mop a floor - sad.

When did kathy lee get back on TV? I thought she was living the dream with frank

Ru Pauls Drag race- has nothing to do with cars, nuff sed.

Cheaters- following your husband around with a video camera to catch him cheating, then you slap the shit out of him, and you go back to him and start over.

Animal hoarders- phone book hoarders- food hoarders.

Tory Spelling and Drew- I thought we had enough of them on some show in the eighties.

John and Kate plus 8 turned into Kate. When did that happen?

The real L word. New Haven CT at dusk

Dr 90210- I am going to throw up if i see more blood.

COPS- lost people get nailed

What happened to Star Trek, Lost, 24, Weeds, Nurse jackie, Lassie where are you? The Flintstones, SpongBob, no more reality TV for me. I shut down my cable and went to the library. I feel like I have peeked into frighting lives of strangers.
