13 Things to Do on the Holiday Countdown

With Christmas Eve just over a week away, it seems time to do the countdown of things still left to do for that big day! So here goes:

1. Make a list.

2. Check it twice.

3. Find out who has been naughty and who has been nice. (LOL! Okay I’ll get serious now).

4. Keep to budget for gifts that I still need to buy.

5. Check the pantry and make a list of what’s needed for Christmas Eve dinner.

6. Coordinate with Sis who helps out with the meal.

7. Make sure hubby has my favorite Gloria Estefan Christmas CD ready for the night.

8. Wrap. Or maybe find some nice gift bags for all the goodies.

9. Call friends and see how they are doing.

10. Send out Christmas cards.

11. Buy some more people and cars for the Christmas Village. It’s looking a little lonely.

12. Write. Write. Write.

Thursday 13 – Must See Shows on Television

With the new television season almost here, I am chomping at the bit for new episodes of some of my old favorites as well as some interesting new ones.

So today’s Thursday 13 is a list of those Must See Shows on Television!

1. Hawaii 5-0. Okay, I must confess that I’m wondering why there are so many remakes of movies and television shows. Because their safe bets? Regardless, I have to confess I am waiting for this one although a better name for the show is probably Hottie 5-0. 😉

2. Fringe. It’s The X-Files on steroids. Totally love it! Can’t wait to see what happens with Joshua Jackson and FBI Agent Olivia Dunham.

3. The Big Bang Theory. What can I say? I love nerds and these guys are amazingly funny. 😆

4. Chuck. Nerd becomes super-computer and super-spy. Love it!

5. NCIS. Great ensemble cast and Mark Harmon. ‘Nuf said.

6. Blue Bloods. A family of New York cops with Tom Selleck as the head of the family. Tom is still Guilty Pleasure material.

7. Modern Family. OMG! This has to be one of the funniest shows ever.

8. 30 Rock. Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey are amazing together.

9. Bones. The sexual tension between Bones and Booth is great and I love all the “forensics”.

10. Undercovers. Sexy lead man and romantic suspense. Have to check it out.

11. Criminal Minds. Have liked this one for a long time. Looking forward to see how things develop this season.

12. House. What can I say. The House character is quite a piece of work and now he’s in love! Should be fascinating.

13. Chase. This one is about U.S. Marshals and seems really interesting.

Hope you enjoyed today’s Thursday Thirteen. I welcome you to add any of your “Must See Shows” in the comments section.
