Beer goggles? That’s an excuse? For what? Fashion stupidity?
I’m still loving the show Who Do You Think You Are? I’m not going to complain (much) about the trials and tribulations of searching for my ancestors anymore. Last night former Dallas Cowboy (and Dancing with the Stars alum) Emmitt Smith worked on his family tree which included his great-great grandparents and beyond who were slaves. Tracing slave ancestry is incredibly difficult because there are very few records the further back you go. I guess that’s true for the rest of us, too, to a certain extent, but I think tracing slave ancestors would be awfully frustrating (at the very least) and sad.
Since it’s the weekend, I’ll be climbing back into my family tree and seeing what nuts I can shake loose. I learned just yesterday that one of my great-grandfathers divorced his first wife before he married my great-grandma. I’d never known he was married before! And I only found out because my aunt who passed away last year had a copy of the divorce decree. We ended up with all the family history stuff she had.
There are Derby prep races on the horse racing channel this afternoon which I’ll be watching.
Reading: Finished up Death of a Ghost. Now I’m reading Serpent by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos. I thought I had read this one but it’s not ringing any bells at all, so I guess not. I love Kurt Austin almost as much as I love Dirk Pitt.
There is absolutely nothing on tonight except the Academy Awards which I have little to no interest in watching. The Oscars were vastly more interesting when I used to actually go to the movies. Not so much anymore. So I’ll be catching up on recorded shows. Yes, still! I have a total of 52 hours worth of stuff to watch. Granted, some of those hours are episodes of Jeopardy and some movies, so those aren’t urgent to catch up on. But I do have other shows I should watch before things kick back into high gear.
And I want to do more work on the family history stuff.
Reading: Finished up SEALed and Delivered which I enjoyed a lot. I’ve come to the conclusion I’m a complete and utter Navy SEAL groupie. *g* Next up is All About Evie by Beth Ciotta. I have a sneaking suspicion I’ll like that a lot.
I absolutely loved the new show Who Do You Think You Are? which was on last night. I now have a strong urge to take up my own family history again with a vengeance. In fact, I’m going to do that this afternoon.
Tonight on TV we just have a new episode of Survivors on BBC America. Not to be confused with the U.S. reality TV show of the almost identical name.
Did a bit more tweaking last night.
Reading: Finished up Steamed last night which I adored!!! I want more!!! I can’t believe all the negative reviews the book got on Amazon. Now I’m reading SEALed and Delivered by Jill Monroe. I’ll give you three guesses as to why. *g*
