The End of ER

I can't let the series finale of ER come and go without leaving my comments. Leo and I have watched ER since the first episode due to our love of all things from Michael Crichton. The other interesting thing about those times, is we were newlyweds. We've been married for almost 15 years (this October is our anniversary) and ER has been on TV for all those 15 years. There were times that we stopped watching the show as it got a bit boring, but the past two seasons we haven't missed a single show thanks to the DVR capabilities on our cable box. Even though Michael Crichton has been as involved with the show since the beginning, it seems like a fitting time for the series to end since he passed away recently. This spring will be the release of the last novel by him and I don't know how I'll get Leo to read anything since I was at least guaranteed that every time one of these novels came out we'd both devour it. We'll try to watch the new TV show on during this time slot as well, but I'm not sure if we'll really like it.

I loved ER when it first came out but it lost some of its allure when Dr. Green left. And when they started blowing up the ER entrance at least once a season.

We watched ER for a couple years when George Clooney was on, but it was too much like going to work.
The Mentalist on Tuesday night is enjoyable.

I've watched ER since the beginning as well and am really going to miss it. That episode did not give me closure.

I know this is a bit sad and pathetic but I cried at the end.

I have been watching from the beginning as well and it seems strange it is done.

I was so sad to see ER go as well I have watched it from the beginning, and I remember when I was in nursing school and I would recognize the vocabulary and diagnosis I felt so smart. It is hard to say good bye to it, I still love watching the old episodes- hopefully something great will come out soon!

Hey my DH and I will celebrate our fifteenth anniversary this summer. We simply cannot believe it's been fifteen years and we're still childless! Geez. We're feeling really really old...
I used to love ER too!

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
