Sunday Social: TV LAND

This week's Sunday Social is all about TV shows.  I personally love TV shows more than movies because sometimes I have the attention span of a 6 year old and just like something summed up in an hour rather than 2 1/2 hours.

1. What is your favorite TV show as a kid?

My favorite TV show as a kid was Saved By the Bell.  I used to watch it every morning before school or during the day in the summertime.  I wanted to be Kelly Kapowski and date Zack Morris.  It was such a great show and there were so many memorable episodes, I loved it.

2. What is your current favorite TV show?

My favorite TV show will ALWAYS be FRIENDS! I was obsessed when they came on TV. Even though I was still a little too young to watch them when they were on TV, I used to get the seasons when they came out on DVD.  I didn't see the series finale until a few years later only because I didn't want it to end.  It was a great series and I always end up watching FRIENDS when I need a good laugh.  Danny and I are in the middle of a FRIENDS marathon since he has not seen them all the way through! I love reliving it with him.

3. Which reality show would you NEVER do?

I would never do Wipeout.  I am WAY too clumsy in general. I would get severely injured trying to balance on a wet, rotating platform.

4. Which reality show would you LOVE to do?

I would love to be a part of The Amazing Race.  Danny and I love to travel and this would give us the most amazing opportunity.  Even though it would also raise my stress levels immensely, it would be a lot of fun at the same time.

5. What is the TV personality/character that you feel is most like you?

Charlotte York from Sex in the City.  Charlotte was the sweet, caring friend out of the Sex in the City characters. Her personality and overall viewpoints on life was something I identified with most about this character.

6. Which TV character would you want to date?

If I had to chose a character to date on TV it would be Jim Halpert from The Office.  Jim makes me laugh and he is always so romantic towards Pam making him the perfect TV boyfriend.  

I'm linking up my Sunday Social with Neely.

Our Pet Family

Danny and I are spending the weekend at the lake with Danny's parents and the puppy dogs! Yesterday while I was eating lunch at one of my favorite places (Brueggers Bagel), I came across this "Real Fact" from my Snapple.  I thought it was funny since Danny and I probably have heard all 110 sounds between our two cats and puppy dog.  

In fact, our animals love to communicate by "talking" to us especially the cats.  I learned on an episode of, "My Cat from Hell" that cats only meow for humans and not to interact with other cats.

I love when our pets interact with us and its just another reason why they are so special to us.

Our pets as babies (Teddy, Rosie, and Yogi)

Teddy, 3 years old; Rosie, 3 years old; Yogi, 5 months old.

The Story of our Pet Family

I ended up getting Teddy in the spring of 2010 while I was still a senior in college.  There was a bin labeled FREE KITTENS and I could not resist this all white kitty.  At first, I thought he was a girl so I named him, Bella.  After his first vet appointment, I decided to save him from embarrassment for the rest of his life and rename him Teddy.  Fast forward just a few short months later and I moved me and Teddy up to Cleveland to start my new job and new life.  After getting a 1 bedroom apartment just me and Ted, my mom convinced me to get another cat since Teddy was showing signs of loneliness of me being gone all day.  I saw Rosie in a pet store shortly after that and I could not get over how cute she was.  She was playful and her personality won me over.  i decided to adopt her that day and boy was Teddy surprised when I came home with her! After a few weeks together, they have gotten along ever since and are the best of friends.  

I got both of the cats before Danny and I even met and when we were dating, I always joked that it was a deal breaker if he did not accept my cats.  Danny loves the cats and they love him (most of the time).  After almost three years with the cats, we adopted Yogi, our half german shepard, half collie mix.  The cats have adjusted well to him (better than we thought at least) and its nice to have a big pet family.  I could not imagine my life without pets and I know that Danny and I will always have furry friends in our lives. 

Pool and Puppy day

I had a nice, relaxing day off yesterday.  I stayed home with the puppy and took advantage of the nice day.  Since we had friends over last weekend, we heated the pool.  Today the pool was an amazing 86 degrees.  It felt awesome with the 90 degree day outside.

Yogi and I went for a walk to try out his new harness.  After puppy class last night, we decided to try a harness during walks since Yogi has a problem with pulling and I worry about the strain on his neck. He did great with the harness and I really like how it was easier for me to handle him with.

After spending lots of time outside, I decided to relax in the man cave for a bit.  I came across Sleepless in Seattle on TV because it's the 20th anniversary of the movie release.  This is one of my old time favorite movies to watch.  I love how it makes fun of all the sappy, romantic movies that women watch and then it turns into one of those movies.  Such a classic!

After Danny got home, we headed to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.  We used to lived right next to it and used to go all the time.  We've only been back one other time since and we miss it!

Manhattan Deli- Such a great place to eat outside,
unfortunately it was too hot out this time.
