~I LOVE LUCY~

I have to admit it I am a HUGE LUCY fan & sometimes give up whole periods of time watching old Lucy re-runs! Whenever I have had an extremely busy week & need some down time with my T.V. it's always the Lucy Library of episodes that I reach for. My own life sometimes seems like an I LOVE LUCY episode. I'm always in trouble with my Ricky for indulging my passion for shopping & I sometimes am involved in some really hair brained schemes to get my own way when I am determined to do something that my wonderful hubby doesn't agree with, like~insisting that a couch be removed immediately from the family room & hubby telling me it can wait until later(big mistake!) and accidentally (on purpose) sliding it down the cellar stairs only to have it slip & CRASH into the wall & leave a HUGE hole! Or...promising & promising to get my Nordstroms credit card down to a nice zero balance only to find a "must have" new pocketbook or a fabulous pair of shoes that I just can't live without & thinking & scheming about how I can make it happen without breaking my promise(can't be done!) & then trying to sneak the goods into the house, only to be found out by my RICKY who sternly says TEENIE(my nickname) you've got some splainin to do!!!!I think Lucy did the same things with pretty things for her home too. Trying to hide them in plain site only to be found out & reprimanded by Ricky (again guilty!) I even have an "ethel" who I love dearly & who has been dragged along(somewhat reluctantly in the past) on some hilarious adventures with her friend "Lucy." Here are a few of my absolute FAVORITE episodes of my girl "Lucy" See if you can figure out which ones they are & if you can relate to this zany, but lovable wife & mother!!!
Ricky and Fred think doing housework is much easier than earning money. Lucy and Ethel feel the opposite. So the boys try doing the housework while the girls attempt to hold down a job at a candy factory.
When Lucy buys yet another new gadget, Ricky complains that she's "got no sales resistance."
Whether it's getting dressed or ordering dinner at a restaurant, Lucy seems unable to finish anything without changing her mind.
When Lucy buys a new sofa and coffee table without Ricky's permission, he says she'll have to pay for it out of her allowance.
Bored with married life, Lucy and Ethel decide that a few days away from their husbands would be a welcome change.
Ricky decides to fool Lucy into thinking she's won a new home furnishings contest. But the joke backfires when Lucy sells all their furniture.
Lucy & Ethel decide it will be economical to but a huge walk in freezer so they can buy large quantities of meat at a discount. The butcher misunderstands them & they wind up witah several hundred lbs of meat which they have to hide from Ricky & Fred. Lucy winds up stuck in the freezer. The way Lucy looks with the icicles hanging fraom her face is HILARIOUS!!
Lucy decides she just has to move to the country & schemes to make Ricky see it her way. After a bunch of misunderstandings with the sellers Lucy, Ethel & Fred dress up like gansters to try & get the deposit money back!
Lucy dresses up like superman after she promise little Ricky he will show up at his birthday party & ends up outside on the ledge.
How about the grape stomping episode & one of my very favorites,the VITAMETAVEGIMEN episode? Lucy & Ethel as martians as a stunt to raise some quick cash? Are you a Lucy fan & what are YOUR favorite epidsodes? Do your family & friends lovingly refer to you as LUCY as mine do? LOL! Instead of tuning into the news (which is always depressing) do yourself a favor & grab a Lucy DVD & pop it in & realize how much "LUCY" there is in you!
