With the stress that has gone on in the past 24 hours, I’ve spent the better part of this evening chilling out and watching some TV with my husband and daughter. I don’t know if it’s just something they’re doing this weekend or if it’s something that they’ve done for a while since it’s not a channel I watch frequently, but TNT has been showing movies all day today with the least amount of commercials I have ever seen! Normally a TV station shows about 44 minutes of programming per hour with about 16 minutes of commercials, I’d have to say TNT has cut it back to about 10 minutes worth of advertising per every hour of broadcast, and let me tell you, it’s a WONDERFUL change!
Today we’ve managed to catch a couple of the Fast and Furious movies and tonight I’ve been chilling out with my daughter watching Titanic, one of my all time favorite movies! I used to have Titanic on DVD, but sometime over the past few years I’ve apparently lost it, so it’s nice to watch it tonight with very minimal commercial interruptions!
I’m happy to report also that my daughter is much happier with her “new to me” computer now that we’ve been able to give it a little extra computer memory late this afternoon to help it run a little faster! It’s not that it wasn’t running well before that, it’s just that it was a little laggier than it needed to be in order to run some of the games and programs she uses.
I haven’t received any more phone calls today from family members, and right now I need it to stay that way! Most of the sickness I felt earlier has passed and I was actually able to keep the few bites of mashed potatoes that I ate at dinner time down, which is a HUGE plus!
Anyway, I need to get back to the movie and my daughter, she’s getting a bit impatient with me…LOL! This is one of her favorite movies too!
