I am so stoked!!!

Ever since my first hit of Lupron Christmas and Valentines Day find the Hallmark Channel non stop with some of the best flicks ever.   Today I raced home from my quarterly visit with my uro and PSA draw so that I could fix us a quick dinner and glass of wine and settle in to an evening of Hallmark.

As I write this we are on our third movie and I have gone through a half box of tissues so far.    A little while ago Lee wanted to flip to ESPN to check the basketball scores and I politely as possible wrestled the remote from her.   Another movie just started called "The Christmas Spirit".   I could be up all night!

I think this will be my peak Hallmark season as I have had my last shot of Lupron.   The Hallmark Effect my wane by Valentines day and I expect to be back to Fox News and Ultimate Fighter by Christmas 2014.   So I must sieze this Hallmark season as there may never be another like it!!!!!!

Remember the movie by Mel Gibson-  What Women Think (or whatever it was)?   That is coming next you will feel like Kreskin after a while and get full comprehension into such, maybe we start using the other side of our brains????  Be careful shopping, caveat  emptor applies. Watching the same stuff you are, enough said.

Yo comprendo amigo.......

Being a surgery guy who thankfully has needed no other treatment so far, I'm enjoying South Park on the Comedy Channel right now. smilewinkgrin

Very well put - just make sure you do not have to take over part of your wife's bedroom closet due to the spontaneous shopping sprees.

Maybe a spin class could help.

Happy Holiday Hugs,

I have to admit that while I was heading out the door to go to work I paused to see what my wife, who works an 11 to seven shift, was watching. It was a Hallmark Channel Christmas-themed romance. She told me a little about the plot and I was briefly tempted to ask her to save it on the DVR for me. But I didn't. As I drove to work I thought about why I hadn't and decided that, while I would undoubtedly enjoy watching it, life was too short.

So my suggestion for the mechanism by which Hormones make men tend to like Hallmark channel flicks is that it stems from the survival benefit.

Funny bit, by the way. Thanks for posting it.

During and after HT, my husband wanted to know whether his butt looked big in his jeans.....

Also, at a barbeque, you know how males and females invariably end up in separate groups, my husband was having a few drinks with the ladies.  When I commented that this was unusual for him, he remarked that he didn't realize we women talked about really interesting stuff, and that he was quite happy where he was. I was ready to clip his ear if he asked for a recipe for the salad!

And... he too got quite emotional during chick flicks!

Great to hear from all of you.

What a great night it is tonight. Today Lee took our four year old grandaughter Zazie to swim lessons and I made it home in time for a martini and a little dinner. Zazie and I are watching "Tangled". A great movie.

Tomorrow we will see two other grandaughters in their Crristmas dance recital.

I am in heaven

Thanks for raising spirits here. 'just finished SRT couple days ago, Darc asked me if I wanted to just hang out and watch the Hallmark Moobie Channel, sure! Hallmark has great flix and has a great breast cancer program.

It is up to each of us to look for the positive ....the humor....the good time. If we are to be happy it is up to us. As Todd1963 says "every day is a gift". Few have been through what he has and I always see and hear the smile he and Mandy have. Just think how happy we can make our loved ones if we start with ourselves.

After the cruise last week and all the new wonderful friends I made some decisions and announced to Lee this evening that from now on every weekend is a vacation. If we can't celebrate life each day, well what can we do??

JNF,

What a wonderful post! Too funny!

Also love you weekend vacation idea.

Live, Love, LAUGH! :)
