Weekend ABC's - T is for TV, TB & Test

I have tuberculosis.  

Just kidding.  But it FEELS that way.  

I'm just practicing my excuse to get out of my accounting final today.  Do you think my professor would want a doctor's note if I used the TB one?  Because AN ACCOUNTING FINAL?  The only calculation I have enough energy to do right now is to see if my A is strong enough to allow me to skip the test entirely and still pass the class.

Kidding AGAIN.  Damn me and my over achieving ways.

Dogs don't have to study for accounting finals.  

I took a break from studying on Saturday and decided to hang out with my two BFF's.

And then once I did that, the thought of picking up my accounting book made me want to gnaw my own arm off.  So I watched two cheesy surfing movies instead.

Because have you heard it's winter?  And I'm in Portland?  I won't be seeing the sun until sometime next August.

Hi sun and beach!

(SSG collapses into a mess of tears ... and kleenex.)

I TOTALLY miss dropping in on waves like that.

This is really SSG, she did stand in for the movie Blue Crush.

Hey Fisher!  Dogs can surf, should we go to Hawaii?

No, I yike dis playce.  S warm rite herez.

SSG might be booking a flight to Hawaii.  Because she's SURE all surf instructors look like this:

And this ...

And sorry this one is a little blurry, she may have licked the screen once ... or twice.

BUT!  SSG is more than just a pretty face admiring girl.  So she watched her Sunday morning line up like always. 

Hiiiiiii President Elect Obama.

And after news on the big three automakers, the terrorism in India, the economic meltdown and the probable usage of a weapon of mass destruction by 2013, SSG decided she'd like to go back to a simpler time.

Like New York City in 1947.

So she watched a movie called "It Had to be You."  Which really was the precursor to modern day chick flicks.  Ginger Rogers was the "Runaway Bride" in this film.  She left three guys at the altar and was engaged to her 4th.  But that's when she met a FIREMAN.

And I'm guessing you all can imagine which word caught SSG's attention in that TCM description?

This is what SSG looks like whenever she walks by a fire station.  

Only without the hat.

And at the end of the movie SSG had a TV watching HANGOVER.  And she swore she'd never watch TV EVER AGAIN.  So she got out of the house and went straight to the grocery store because she only ate what she had at the house all weekend which was yogurt and Trader Joe's dried cherries.  

I tink I mite yike dri chereez?

And then she came home from the store, collapsed on the couch and flipped the TV on again.  Because running the smallest of errands when you have TB?  Takes A LOT out of you.
