Top 10 List -- Current Favorite DVR Shows

The following is the list of our favorite television shows that we currently record on the Digital Video Recorder (DVR).  I was just going to list our favorite shows, but I record some shows in blocks, so I included them as a single entity.  I love zipping through commercials on the DVR, enabling us to watch more content faster.  This isn't even the complete list of our DVR recordings.  I don't know how we manage to watch all this junk.

10. Intervention - Hoarders (A&E)

9. American Idol (Fox)

8. Saturday Night Live (NBC)

7. Desperate Housewives - Brothers and Sisters (ABC)

6. Suze Orman Show (CNBC)

5. Big Love (HBO)

4. Project Runway (Lifetime)

3. RuPaul's Drag Race (Logo)

2. The Middle - Modern Family - Cougar Town (ABC)

1. Community - Parks and Recreation - The Office - 30 Rock (NBC)

These Cut Flowers Just Won't Die

"Flowers -- in the dead of winter!"  That is a quote said by Patricia Neal in the original Walton's movie, The Homecoming, where she played John Boy's mother, Olivia.  We occasionally will buy fresh, cut flowers to brighten up our lives during the dreary winter months.

These "daisies" were purchased more than 3 weeks ago and still look -- well, fresh as a daisy.  My mom pointed out these aren't actually daisies.  She asked me what kind of leaves do they have.  They have chrysanthemum leaves.  She said they are actually chrysanthemums bred to look like daisies.   The leaves are actually pretty dried up, but the flowers still look great.  Whatever they are, they were worth every cent ($8) I paid for them.
