What your TV can tell you

Your TV can tell you a host of things - the weather, news, daytime dramas, what's in or out, hot and not.  I am fascinated when I visit people and their recorded shows list pops up.  It says a lot about what people do in their spare time.  In the spirit of a quick blog before I call it a night, here is what is on mine as of today:

• So You Think You Can Dance
• This is a newly found Lane and Payden go-to summer fave
• What Not to Wear
• Secretly I wish Stacey Clinton would come visit with her $5k card
• Kate Plus 8
• Ever since Jon left, I am just not into it.  Delete
• Bones
• My FAVORITE show - not on in the summer. 
• House
• My second favorite show and also not on in the summer
• Giada at Home
• Love her, love her food.  And I've met her!
• Rachel's Week in a Day
• What I would do to cook five meals in one day for the week
• The Biggest Loser
• Love the show but Lane won't watch it with me.
• The Office
• What will the world be like with out Steve Carrell on The Office?
• Monster-In-Law
• Movie with J-Lo
• Ocean's Twelve
• Personally, I was good at keeping it at 11

So that's a peek into what's on the DVR. 

After all that, there is nothing on or recorded that interests be, so I am watching Swamp People.  Something must be wrong in the world.

A love for lists part 2

Here are some fun facts:

1. I enjoy organizing.  My shoes are all in clear plastic boxes.  At this moment, my clothes are sorted by color and by style - 3/4 length, jackets, button-downs, and so on
2. I get up at 5am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to work out before work.  Crazy I know.  My husband is my trainer - every crazier.
3. My dad is a twin and I secretly wish Lane and I could have twins also.
4. I never make up my bed unless I am expecting company or the sheets are freshly changed.
5. I went through a brief "punk" phase in high school - black Dickies-brand pants, black plastic bracelets.  It lasted only a few weeks and there are no pictures to document that phase.
6. I have never been to New York and would die for the chance to go.
7. I have two dogs - Maverick and Kadie.  They are boxers and weigh 73 and 65 pounds respectively.  I am not sure how we ended up with two very large inside dogs.  I love them; they love me.  It works.
8. I order hairspray by the case.  I have a phobia that I might run out someday - what a horrible thought.
9. My name was going to be Haley JoBeth George - say that 12 times fast.
10. it gives me great satisfaction in life to write with a Sharpie marker on anything for any reason.  I especially love making to-do lists with Sharpies.

A love for lists

I love lists.  I make lists about making a list to keep up with all my lists.  Since I have such an affinity for lists, I thought I would share a list with you, about me.  So without further ado....

1. I am the youngest in my family and I married the youngest in his family.  Two babies residing together.
2. I cannot use a pen without a top.  If a pen is topless (which it shouldn't be), it's goodbye.
3. I taught myself how to cook after living by myself and eating out for a few weeks.
4. My first name is actually Chelsey.  You may ask - why didn't you drop it when you got married?  You can't drop your first name; it's a legal issue.  So my entire name is Chelsey Payden George Montgomery - try signing that on a check.
5. I have never seen the Wizard of Oz.
6. I had a tennis coach in middle school and high school.
7. My childhood dog's name was Dozy.  She was an outside yellow lab.
8. I met my husband on a blind date. 
9. When I was little, I played "school" like every other little girl and my name was "Ms. Honey."
10. I have a bad habit of picking at my thumbs when I am stressed.  I am trying to stop, but trying to stop makes me stressed and then I'm back where I started.
