Hey Peepsies! Long time no blog! I hope everyone is well. Haven't been in a "computer mood" lately, but that's changing as of now.

It's official, the crappy US economy has hit my household. Last month at work I was cut down to "part time staus". We're only allowed to have one full time person in our department and out of the 2 full timers, I have the least seniority. It's not going to affect my hours during peak season, I' still get 40+ in the Spring and Summer, and through Fall and Winter my hours are cut by "one day", 8 hours. I no longer have health benefits, vacation, time or accumulate sick time. My husband can pick up the health benefits, open enrollment is next month, and I hardly ever take any sick time, I always get a buyout in the spring. And I actually lost 2 vacation days last year because I never go on vacation. So, in reality, no biggie. Good thing- I got a buy out on my 2 weeks vacation and 104 hours accumilated sick time in my last pay. I put a little in the bank and was able to get some extra fall clothing for the boys and get their Halloween costumes. They're going to be characters from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

I've been looking around for a part time job, but I really only want about 5-10 hours a week through the winter. So, we'll see how it goes. I also applied for partial unemployment benefits. If I get approved for that, that may work out better for me. Wish me luck. This past weekend, Evan and Tyler went to Lancaster, Pa. It was a belated Birthday gift from my In-Laws. They had a lot of fun, seems like the boys had more fun at the hotel than anywhere else. But they came home sick. So they've been out of school for the past two days. Looks like it's just a nasty cold. Lots of coughing and a bit of a fever. Evan is definately feeling much better than Tyler. He's been quite hyper today. Tyler is a bit slower to recover.

Today is Jodie's (winterbehaviour) Birthday! She's a really sweet gal and I'm so glad to have been able to meet her through TV.com.

Let's celebrate! Balloons..........

Lots of confetti to throw around. Don't worry, I got the kids here to clean up

Don't forget to grab a piece of cake..........

And we can't forget the presents.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!

Lots of great TV to lift my spirits up.

On Dancing With the Stars- Injuries and illness. And three more couples have been eliminated, not all by voting.

In week 3, two couples left. One by viewer votes and another from injury. Debi Mazar and Maks Cmerkovsky were the couple eliminated. Maks is one of my favorite pros and I'm very sad to see him leave the competition. I had high hopes for the couple. A bit of good news though, due to Derek Hough's illness, Maks filled in and performed last night with model Joanna Krupa. Considering they only had 2 days to train with each other, they did extremely well. They probably would have had close to perfect scores if it weren't for a stumble near the end of the performance. If it weren't for Maks being such a great performer and Joanna being one of the stronger celebs, it could have turned out much worse. Maks and Joanna made a great recovery and garnered very respectable scores. Suring the week 3 results show, Tom DeLay decided to drop out of the competition due to injury. He had been competing with stress fractures in both of his feet. As much as I didn't want to like Tom, he did very well and was very likable. He had a great charm and was matched very well with Cheryl. I was actually dissapointed to hear he was dropping out, but glad he will be able to heal properly. PS. Debi made a guest star appearance on last night's episode of Castle. Nathan and Stana were also in the audience for last night's perfomances.

In week 4 I had a bit of a scare. My favorite and pre-season pick, Aaron Carter was in the bottom two and was almost eliminated. He had a sub par week and his Lambada was all over the place. Thankfully he took the judges advice and last night his Argentine Tango was spot on and one of my favorite dances of the night.. The couple that was eliminated last week was Chuck Liddell and Anna Trebunskaya. I was a little disappointed because I thought there were one or two couples who had worse performances. Anna is a great dancer and I love the way she performs the Argentine Tango and would have loved to see her dance last night.

I am absolutely loving House this season! I love that the old team is back! House, Foreman, Cameron and Chase hae incredible chemistry and work great together. Aside from that, I really can't describe all that is making me adore this show again. It's undescribable. Jennifer Morrison(Cameron) will be leaving temporarily, this was a creative decision and not permanent. (According to TVGuide). Olivia Wilde(Thirteen) is still slated to remain in a recurring role as well.

If you haven't already done so, don't forget to visit the Second Supernatural Club Meeting in Shane's (charmed1102) blog.

And speaking of Supernatural, how awesome were the last two episodes? I think I heard the collective cheers of Supernatural fans everywhere when Sam chopped off Paris Hilton's head. I was a bit nervous before watching last week's episode because it could have been a rehash of season 3's Bedtime Stories. But I should know better than to doubt Eric Kripke. The mainifestation of all those wive's tales were hilarious, expecially Dean's little problem. And the Castiel action figure was so cool. I want one! Repeat this week New epi next week

Now to the explanation of the blog title. Thanks to Ela and Daria, I'm got a bit of an obsession with Callum Keith Rennie. If you're a member of the W.E.N.T.H.W.O.R.T.H.M Club, Daria has nominated CKR to be the next Man of the Month. Here's the link to Penny's blog

Ela and Daria have also started a campaign to increase CKR's person score here on TV.com. If you are familiar with his work, Callum has appeared on Battlestar Galatica, Harper's Island, S3-4 of Due South, Californication and is slated to appear in Day 10 of 24, please rate/review him. He is also rumoured to possibly guest star in this season of Dollhouse.

I've made a bunch of CKR icons. -

And speaking of CAlifornication, I've begun watching this show. Can you guess why? If you guessed because of Callum Keith Rennie in the role of Lew Ashby, you guessed right! It's pretty good show. Very funny and quite kinky. It makes me blush a lot

I made a few Misha icons as well, just for Jodie, the birthday girl.

I recently leved up, level 17, the Crazy Neighbor. That's a reference to Kramer, the crazy neighbor on the American comedy Seinfeld. I also surpassed 2,000 forum posts. I'll catch up on all of your blogs this week. This weekend my hubby is going to be remodeling the living room and kitchen. I'll take some pictures of the before, during and after. I'm off to east some dinner and watch TV. Have a great week!

Later peepsies!
