As the World Turns

When my first daughter Rita was born, we were very protective and rarely went out without covering her properly so that she would not catch a cold. We mostly stayed in doors and spent most of our time watching TV as that was the best source of entertainment. As Rita grew, she became very fond of switching the channels and watching all the cartoon channels. In those days there were no digital TV and we had a valve type TV with a huge knob which used to be rotated for increasing or decreasing the volume and another knob for changing the channels. Naturally there was no remote in those days. One day when Rita was 5 years old, we decided to go to a cinema hall to see a movie. Rita had endless questions till the time we reached the cinema hall. On reaching the hall, she was overawed by the size of the screen. The TV screen was the biggest screen she had ever seen. She shouted in glee “Papa such a big TV.” I told her it was not a TV but a movie screen. When the movie started, she suddenly asked in a loud voice, “Papa where is the knob to change the channel?” Everyone around us burst out laughing.

Hands down, I am addicted to the show Lost on ABC. I didn’t get into it until Season 1 was over. I was randomly home and I was the first episode come on repeat on ABC Family. It caught my attention right away and I could not stop watching it! I then proceeded to go on my computer and buy all the episodes from Season 1 and I watched the entire season in the span on 2 days! I literally didn’t move from my computer. It was perfect timing since Season 2 started about a week after I finished Season 1! So after that, I would make sure I had nothing going on Wednesday nights and I would come home and watch it live. Once I found other people who liked the show, we would have a Lost watching party! I am THAT into the show that I even go on the message boards after each episode to read up on the theories on the show and what other viewers are saying since that show contains SO much information! I definitely recommend anyone who hasn’t seen it, get Season 1 and start from the beginning!

Dog collars have a function, but are also purchased to compliment the dog or dog owner’s personality.  The first thing to consider is the function and safety of any collar.  Will the collar be worn for everyday wear, or will it be only worn for a few hours at a time?  Will the collar be worn in the house, or outside?  Some dog collars have a specific training purpose and should be used consistently when training.  These considerations can dictate what material a collar should be made from.  Should it be material or leather?  Should it be a fancy collar or simply sport a monogram?  Of course, we can’t forget to mention the tough dog spiked collar or the jeweled collar that some dogs wear so well.  There are shops that you can take your dog to and try on the different collars for size and style.  That is a fun way to shop for fancy dog collars, and can be helpful in choosing the right collar.  Most will probably agree that your dog needs a variety of collars for different occasions and different purposes ranging for utilitarian to fashionable.

My outfit today was picked out for a very special reason, as I am meeting someone out tonight for our first date! I am headed there straight from work so I had to make sure I dressed as if I was leaving directly for the date! I am wearing my favorite jeans that feel like a new born puppy’s ear as I slip into them since they have been worn and washed so many times! I then have on a gray-ish tank top with a white shirt over the tank top that says “Nature Nature.” The white shirt is cut low and that is why I wear a tank top underneath. As for shoes, I am wearing my brand new black converse because they go with everything! I feel very confident in this outfit because I know that it looks good on me and I feel like my date will very much appreciate it.
