The Sewing Mom

Do you have any particular shows that you watch together as a family? My daughter and I absolutely love to watch [tag]The Amazing Race[/tag] on Sunday nights. My husband joins us whenever he’s home. We even TIVO the show just in case we’re out or doing something else. I think we’ve been watching now for 4 or 5 seasons and I’m happy to say that this season is back to being tough, exciting and full of interesting characters! In fact, the last episode we saw, the grandfather and grandson were required to get permanent tattoos in order to be able to skip all the other tasks on that leg of the race. I don’t think I could’ve done that.

Whenever we watch the contestants, I find myself wondering how they manage to travel all the way around the world over that period of time with basically only a backpack and that little pouch around their waist that they keep their passport and clues in. I know they have to have at least a couple changes of clothes, coats, swimsuits, shoes and some sort of [tag]outdoor sports[/tag] and [tag]military gear[/tag] that they use along the way.

I like to watch them when they travel at night and they wear a [tag]Predator headlamp[/tag] on their head in order to read maps and clues. I know I look really bad in a hat, wonder how bad I’d look in a headlamp? That’s not a pretty picture, but I guess if it were a million dollars at stake, I wouldn’t care how dorky I looked!

We still have to watch the last episode, I think we totally forgot it was Sunday and didn’t realize it was on. Thank goodness for TIVO!
