Utah Quarters

I love all of the state quarters and I have a little book that I save one of each of them in. I was excited yesterday when I was reading the newspaper (online, of course) and came across these pictures. This was the first viewing of the quarter coming off the press and the quarters will be released in circulation on November 5. And yes, I will be waiting in line at the bank to get a handful of Utah quarters!

Top Ten... Seriously

I haven't done a top ten in awhile and today feels like a great day to do one! Today's Top Ten is about what is currently my favorite show... GREY'S ANATOMY. I could give up a lot of shows that I watch but this is not one of them... SERIOUSLY.

Here are ten random trivia bits about Grey's Anatomy:

1. Every episode shares the name with a song title by various popular artists (several have been Beatles and R.E.M. tunes).

2. The show was originally called Complications (I much prefer Grey's Anatomy... maybe 'cuz I'm used to it).

3. Rob Lowe was originally considered for the role of Derek Shepherd but passed on it (and he should be kicking his own butt now seeing what an awesome show it is. However, I {heart} Patrick Dempsey and he's perfect for the roll so thanks to Rob Lowe for passing).

4. Christina was the first person to refer to Dr. Shepherd as "McDreamy" (bless the writers for this one... he is TRULY McDreamy and I love how it has stuck).

5. The theme song for the show is called "Cosy in the Rocket" and is performed by Psapp.

6. Alex Karev was not in the original pilot script. His role was inserted as an afterthought and scenes with him were either re-shoots or digitally altered (I, personally, am glad for this "afterthought." I like Alex's character and I like what he brings to the show).

7. The first episode not narrated by Meredith was narrated by George.

8. The character name Dr. Mark Sloan is a reference to a 'Dick Van Dyke' character by the same name in the TV show "Diagnosis Murder".

9. Sandra Oh was initially looking to audition for the part of Dr. Bailey.

10. The show's title is a reference to the famous anatomy book "Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body" by Henry Gray.


Maybe today's Top Ten should be renamed to Top Eleven
**BONUS** One of my all time favorite scenes was in Season 1 and it was either episode 1 or 2. All of the new interns are sitting together and George says, "Who here feels like they have no idea what they're doing?" And all of the interns raise their hands.


Note: The majority of today's Top Ten was made possible thanks to www.imdb.com.

Park City

I love Park City... love love love it! We went there over the weekend and had a fabulous time. The weather was quite cold and a little stormy but we still had so much fun. We strolled up and down Main Street, ate great food, enjoyed lots of shopping and went on scenic drives (and in Deer Valley there was quite a bit of snow and we saw deer). We also enjoyed a little R & R at the condo watching movies, reading and playing PlayStation! The leaves and trees were absolutely BREATHTAKING!

Big Blooms

I bought bulbs at Costco months and months ago and planted them EXACTLY according to the package directions. I have waited and waited (and waited) all summer for them to bloom and they finally did. I am sure they are going to die off rather quickly since the weather has taken a drastic turn for the worse but I am enjoying them for now. They are so beautiful and definitely WORTH THE WAIT!!!

Kermit

I found this to be quite funny so I though I would share!
