happy new year

At work last night a customer told me that if you eat cabbage on New Year's Day it will bring prosperity.  So I took the leftover ham from Christmas Eve, carrots, potatoes, onion, and cabbage and cooked it in a chicken broth.  Yum.  Hope it works on the prosperity thing 'cause we will be experiencing the post-Christmas cut in hours soon.  I will be cut to 28.5 hours the week after next.  Ouch!  That pretty much takes care of the extra holiday pay I will get for Christmas and New years.

But--on a happier note we have the new season of TV coming up.  The bachelor starts tomorrow and I always have to watch that show even if I always wish I hadn't when it ends.  And then there is Winter Wipeout.  And Grey's Anatomy will have new episodes starting this week too.  Alcatraz sounds like that might be interesting.  And then of course the is American Idol and The Voice.  I've had enough of Glee-don't care what happens to it,  but I would like to see more of Grimm and Once Opon a Time.  And I would imagine House will be back with new episodes too.  I don't think that show suffered too much without Cuddy.

I'm ready and waiting.  Nothing much left on my DVR worth watching.  Was flipping through channels the other night looking for something to watch and ran into Julie and Julia a movie I'd wanted to see but never had.  I really liked it, and wondered how they made Meryl Streep appear so much taller.  Or maybe she is that tall.  I don't know she just seemed taller.  I almost wanted to go out and buy Julia's cookbook.  But I didn't.  I don't think I could master any art of any kind of cooking.  I'm just a meat and vegetables and more vegetables kind of person.  Maybe I'll go make coleslaw from the rest of that cabbage.  Happy New Year.
