TGI-Thursday
Yeah, that's not how it really goes...but to me, Thursday's my Friday. For starters, it signals that there's only 1 day left in the work week. It's weigh in day, which is exciting and scary at the same time. And it's SURVIVOR NIGHT!!
I've been watching since I think the 2nd or 3rd season. LOVE IT!! We used to make a big event out of watching. In my first apartment, shared with DH (engaged at the time) and roomies/friends Hil & Jason, we'd make a big event out of Thursday night. There was always a special meal ... like Jason's killer honey garlic nachos! (Never quite duplicated again.) Oh, and Jason's famous meatloaf with the best red sauce I ever tasted! (Sorry mom & MIL.) We even had a couple of Survivor parties, complete with tropical dishes, drinks and dress. Shay's (spelling phonically) saw-VEE-chee was absolutely deelish!! It's not much to look at but boy, it's tasty. (DH LOVES it!)
Well, with kiddies and living far apart, this season was uneventfully kicked off last week. But the pool is up and running at work...not many takers this year though. Still, it's fun. We have the best pool I've heard of. It's based on a point system. Each week we pick the Bootee (5pts), Immunity Team (2pts), Reward Team (1pt), and Exile-ee (3pts). When there are 5 Survivors left, we rank the top 5 (1st-35pts, 2nd-25pts, 3rd-20pts, 4th-15pts, 5-10pts...or something like that). Then we total all the point up for the season. Whoever gets the most wins like 75% of the pot, 2nd gets 15% and 3rd gets 10%. (Can't remember exact percentages). It's great because you could do lousy all season and get the top 5 right and win!
Anyway, must be off. Hope you have an awesome Thursday and we'll chat more Survivor tomorrow.

Hey there, love your blog, you crack me up!!! I found someone who posts daily so it has become a must-read daily for me.
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on Survivor last night I'm a huge fan of the show. In fact, its the only show I watch on a regular basis.
Thanks for reading! I find it funny because it's like writing a journal for me. I don't expect responses but LOVE to get them.
Re: Survivor, read today's blog. :)

Thursday is MY Friday too ... but I don't see how I'll ever get anything done. Last night I watched TV for like 3 hours in a row and had stuff taping and watching in between commericals .. it was CRAZY!!!
Love the Survivor pool, wish we had one to do. We'll have to do a party sometime and cook some dishes from Cook Islands. I love to try new things!! We can even make it SFL friendly. The ceviche was from Panama. Yum, yum ... to bad the home made corn tortillas didn't turn out :)
Am finding this season really interesting so far!
