Fall and Rise

I like to read.  I have always liked to read.  I read all kinds of books.  Currently I am reading T is for Trespass by Sue Grafton.  I just finished Golden Buddha by Clive Cussler.  I also enjoy watching drama television shows.  I love the CSI shows, Law and Order, Criminal Minds.  I also like shows like 24 and Fringe.  I watch a lot of TV – with Cable, there is always something interesting on.  Lately I have been watching some A&E series.  I watched Hoarders last night – incredible show.  What these people go through is simply amazing.  I like to stay in shape, so I jog, do 50 sit-ups and 50 pushups each day.  I am 48 so I don’t work out real hard, but I am staying in pretty good shape.  And, of course, going to my kids sporting events is probably me greatest hobby.

We love hamburgers on the grill – actually my boys love cheeseburgers.  And all of us love our burgers loaded with onions, so I have to chop up about 3 onions to satisfy everyone!  We also had Suddenly Salad Pasta, which is easy to make and really tasty.  We also had some French fries.  I have to admit I never get the fries anywhere near as good as any fast food restaurant, but we have them anyway and as long as we have ketchup we are good to go.  Two of us have our burgers on Sourdough bread, while the other 3 have their burgers on burger buns.  We have Milk to drink. We always have Milk at dinner.  Yup, can’t go wrong with burgers for dinner.

First of all, its football season, and I am a huge football fan.  I love both college and professional football, so my weekends are spent in front of my 52” Plasma TV with pizza and chips and mountain dew.  I watch 8 hours of football on Saturday sometimes.  And then there is Sunday night football, and Monday night football – I love it all.  I also like the fact that fall means jeans and sweatshirts.  I like it cool.  Also, fall means the kids go back to school, and that gives our household some structure that’s missing during the summer.  Between school, sports, and homework, the kids are very busy during the week and that seems to make the house run smoother.  I seem to have a better grip on where my kids are!
