What does one do when recouping from a hip replacement when the therapy is finished for the day, the eyes don't want to read another word, and the fingers say "enough knitting already"?
.
I got hooked on Sex and the City. Since we had PVR, I just taped episodes to watch when I had my coffee in the mornings when my mind needed to escape from what I was putting my body through.
.
I never watched the show when it was on air...don't know why but I didn't. I got hooked in October after coming home. Now you can imagine how many
episodes I watched as there were two a day through
the week, and I realized that on Sunday....at midnight
no less they aired 7 shows in a row which accounted
for my dilemna of what happened between Friday
and Monday when I'd look at the show and think that
I'd missed something.
.
Now, I think I never watched the show because for the life of me I don't know how Sara J P ever became a star, but this was it! She was Carrie and even though she's not a beauty she pulled this off in spades!
.
I loved her character and all her friends made girlfriends a capital "G". Everytime I've had lunch with girlfriends we were like these four women who had lunch and discussed what we all know is "girl
talk"....right? We don't repeat it, we just listen.
.
Then there were the men! Chris Noth
was "Big" and he was bigger than life and when they met...one could feel the magic between them from the get go!
.
He was a mature guy, had lots of money
and he and Carrie just had it and the tension between them was always there.
.
Jason Lewis should be a major major star! He isa real hunk! Wishing I was younger sometimes, but wow who but "Smith" would make Samantha faithful? I had to look up his name when I first saw him...and he's straight too! Not that it would matter, he's so georgous!
.
Anyway girls, I'm better, walking without a cane even although I must remember my posture! Walk straight! So, my Sex and the City days are over, I've seen what must be four years in the past seven weeks!
.
I've also watched Band of Brothers over again. Yeah yeah, my interests are from one spectrum to the other, but I'm happy to be moving around, and actually went shopping with Courtney who is back from university for a couple of weeks. She was the one who reminded me of the walking straight excercise!
.
It's Friday...almost Christmas.

glad you have found this to help the recoup process and stay off the bordem.
I never watched that show and since I don't have fancy cable (just the basic stuff) I probably never will. Now, Band of Brothers was a great show.
Yep, hip replacement or not, standing straight and tall is always good advice :0) Glad to hear you are continuing to improve!!

glad you are feeling better. I have never been a fan of Sex & the City - but I know what you mean about watching a show continuously. I look at times to find something to keep me company while I quilt or piece and find it nice to find a show I had never really watched much and then get started and watch one after another - I think it helps because there is not that empty week in between shows and can watch one after another and find out what happens faster. (we have dish network so I can always find something to watch)

yep, it's entertaining. i can't possibly imagine what they spent on the wardrobes!!!
I love that show, I think it's hilarious. Glad you're getting better.
A great way to help you recover Nanci and keep you occupied. I have watched a fair few episodes of SATC but have never sat and watched them back to back.
Ive never watched SATC. DD is a big fan though (I think she has the entire series on DVD) But...I do watch other series and get totally hooked so I know exactly what you mean.
Laughing so hard at the "Fluff for FTF" comment.
Glad to hear your recovery has been mostly smooth too. I work with physiotherapists and Im pretty sure theyre constantly judging my slouchy posture.
Ive really loved your posts this year for FTf Nanci. You always bring humour to your writing. You always make me laugh.
So glad to hear your recovery continues. :-) Thanks for sharing one of the things that got you through your post-surgical period. We never know, do we? The Closer has been on for what 5 years, and I've just started watching the show this past summer. For me, it was a daily one hour escape from one of life's major trials.
Just think of all the time you saved by watching them all at once! No ads! Glad to hear you are on the mend, have a merry christmas and see you in the new year! hohoho!!
Yes! Love Sex and the City and completely agree with your whole assessment. Isn't it fantastic?
I like that the movies follow them after the marriages. It's best they stopped the series but the movies (at least the first one, I haven't seen the second) were a good pick up with them years later.
Good news that you are getting around better. Best wishes for the Holiday
Yes, Sex and the City shows are great. Glad that you are enjoying them. Desperate Housewives is a great show too.
