The Couch 148: Boby

Oh man I love Keeping Up Appearances. It was always on Sunday night, so I'd have to sneak staying up late to watch it.

In other news, I just spent $40 on glass beads. If you want a financially lucrative career, don't pick teaching.



So pretty~

Sunday night was lawrence welk night for us. I liked keeping up appearances but nor as much as As Time Goes By

Ooooooh, shiny jewels

Correction, not tap dancing, clogging. We didnt watch it, but some relatives of ours did. We only watched Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Red Skelton, Dean Martin, and Candid Camera. No Perry Mason, cuz - YOU know! I didnt know, but somehow my parents knew he was gay. Anything gayish was not allowed when we were under 18. After that we were on our own. If keeping me ignorant of everything didnt work, well - they tried!

I liked the red skelton show when I was really little.
I also liked Are You Being aserved-but that was much later than red skelton

There are two CPD events in my local area that I'm thinking of going to (if I can scrape the money together)... "The Relational Challenges of Sexuality in the Consulting Room" in September and "Perspectives on Erotic Transference in Psychotherapy and Supervision" in November.

I'm a bit scared of going, but I should go, right?! I can report back here, like... er, like some sort of spy...?

Someone did point out that I could potentially see my T at either of them, which would be the most awkward thing that has ever happened in the history of awkwardness and I would likely never recover...

Pretty beads, daisydid!

I'm back from thinking. Er, swimming. Same thing.... water was so perfectly wonderful. I feel so strong and competent in the water. I am master of my domain in the pool. Not so much elsewhere.

I used to like red Skelton too. And laugh in.

I LOVED Are You Being Served

As Time Goes By was always right after Keeping Up Appearances but I always fell asleep

What is CPD?

I'm guessing Continuing Professional Development.

ETA: my classes toward recertification are referred to as PD, so it makes sense (to me).

ETA2: yes I was right!

i don't think i ever saw Are You Being Served. Or Keeping Up Appearances. I am apparently uncultured.

ETA: Just wanted to

ETA2: one up

ETA3: daisydid!

heehee, just playing

Or you just never happened to flip through your public broadcasting channel on britcom night

Continuing Professional Development. T-training, basically.

ETA: ah, Daisy had it!

I am really so sick of moving into new places and the police turn up months later looking for one of the previous tenants. They woke me up at 7:15am today, Sunday, asking questions. I forgot the word for returning mail to sender and I said I forwarded it instead. Now I sound suspicious.

I missed the ending of the last couch. I am always asleep when you guys are awake.

Luco were those temps in Celsius?

Just gonna go to bed I guess

Night JD hope you sleep well

My love of multi-quote is so great that I am pasting quotes from the previous thread, so sorry for the exceptional multi-quote

I would like to say that the ONLY reason I cleaned (most) of my dust bunnies today was bc i was wide awake at 7am, and I am NEVER awake at 7am, and the fact that someone is coming to feed my kitties next week, and i don't want them to be horrified at the state i live in. which is rather horrid sometimes.

i might have laughed out loud at this statement

Boby is so gorgeous, and this couch is aptly named. My cat, Jack is the same way and I love it too.


NOM NOM NOM. This is the only pie I would eat.

That is my nightmare, having to talk to and attend to random people. **shudder**
lol
Umm, you rock on with your bad self. Going for a PhD at 40 sounds amazing and don't believe your stupid internal voices tell you otherwise! I would go for a Phd if I knew what I wanted to do with my life (at 36.5) and had money.
Those are so pretttyyy! What do you teach?

I am so jealous of your swimming ability. The fact that you can actually swim. I know the basics of swimming, but couldn't do a full lap to save my life. And that you have a pool you can go to. I belong to a gym that has a pool, but I don't want to swim awkwardly in lap lanes with all the people who know how to, and i work for the company so i generally avoid it in my non-working hours even though it isn't hte facility i work at.
I think of you often when I take my lunch break. I walk around the swimming pool and go "Man I wish I could swim like Art."
OOOHHH THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME! I need to do mine this weekend! Yikes, i would have totally forgotten. Mine are called "CEU's"

Yeah.

It's actually really cold tonight, for July... I was considering taking a hot water bottle to bed with me, for my feet!

(the thunderstorms haven't shown up at all so far)

I wish I could take meds. I talked to my doctor about maybe starting an antidepressant or an anti-anxiety medication and he said no. Not while we're working on the fertility treatments. Boo. I cannot calm down.

Velcro, middle school special education. This year I'm teaching 3 sections of English and 1 section of US History

I always get nervous talking to police. I don't know why. I'm about as innocent as innocent comes.

Goodnight jd, goodnight Boby

jeallouussss. i decided to punish myself and go on an hour walk in 95 degree heat with the humidity at 1,000%. I get ham hands when I am out in the heat, so that is super awesome.
Oh that sucks you can't take any meds What's going on?

Also: Here are my babies. Penny (the new kitten...well she's close to a year, but she'll probably always be "kitten" to me) is on the left, and my sweet boy, Jack on the right. He tolerates her alright. The only reason they are so close to each other and attentively staring at me is bc they are waiting for treats
