I don't know about you, gang...
But the Hallmark Channel is rapidly becoming my most favorite channel on earth!!
Why, you might ask?? [Insert your "why" here or something similar. Do not use this space for questions not pertaining to the Hallmark Channel.] [You can use this space to ask questions regarding my use of that double negative just now.]
Okay. Hallmark Channel answer: Because I recently discovered that when I wake up at 4, 4:30, or 5 AM, the Hallmark Channel is showing the best re-runs, over and over and over!! Yay! How cool, to be in bed in the dark, still in my jammies, sipping a piping hot cup of freshly perked coffee and have a wonderfully snarky old episode of Frasier come on the TV!! Followed by endless episodes of I Love Lucy!!! And sometimes even The Golden Girls!!! (Yes, I am this old. I can get excited by episodes of The Golden Girls! I don't necessarily laugh at the jokes, but I was huge fan of Bea Arthur. I loved her. I wish I could have seen her on Broadway but it's too late now. If wishes were horses then beggars would ride, you know.)
I absolutely refuse to watch things like the news or the weather at 4:30 in the morning. There is just no way any kind of news like that is going to be good or even relevant. (Meaning, who needs to know what the weather is like at 4:30 AM when it is still pitch dark out?)
And even old standbys like Turner Classic Movies are kind of useless at 4:30 AM. Once in a blue moon they will have a really great movie on at that hour, but usually it's movies like the original 1974 version of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three! Even though this is better than watching the news at 4:30 AM, it is still in the same violent, emotionally disruptive, and cheerless vein. So I was indescribably delighted to discover, almost by accident but certainly out of desperation, that Frasier was on in all its glory at 4:15 AM this past Friday morning, followed, happily, by another episode of Frasier, and then by about 17 episodes of I Love Lucy!!!
And my day went great. Even though I didn't know what the weather was until I looked outside when the sun came up and saw that it was rainy and windy (and cold, as it turned out, this still being January and all); nor did I know about the homeless guy who had passed out in a dumpster and then was inadvertently crushed to death by the garbage collection truck. ("Really, Marilyn? You didn't know about that? It was all over the news this morning...")
Yes, imagine; I still had a great day! Yes, here in the world of Pollyanna, miracles happen!!
Okay, on that note -- have a terrific Sunday, gang, wherever you are!! Thanks for popping in. See ya!
[Don't know the weather, don't know the news, don't even care -- still just plain GLAD.]
