New Year's Resolve

You know, do you ever look at yourself in May and think, hey, I should blog about my New Year's resolutions?

Ha, yeah, apparently ME EITHER.

So I don't do resolutions, but Mr. RH and I decided to do a few things together this year.  And by "do things" I mean catch up on each other's favorite TV shows.  So on January 1st, we started watching two programs:  Grey's Anatomy and Sons of Anarchy.  I'm not sure if you'll know which of us prefers which show... but I thought the ratio of 92 episodes of Sons to 250 episodes of Grey's.... seems totally fair.

Things were going great with Sons until Jax and Tara had sex right next to a dead body.  After that... well, we haven't watched another episode since January.  I'm traumatized, and I need to not associate dead bodies with sex, even if Jax is delicious, ok?

Since January, we've been watching Grey's.  You see, Grey's and I go back to 2005, when I was a senior in high school and life was so different.  The series premiered while I was on spring break in Key West with my family - and I had seen commercials about it.  I'm pretty sure I berated my family to be "home" to our hotel (condo?) so I could watch the premiere.  I. was. hooked.



I introduced it to everyone I met in college, and I remember our first night in the dorms, crowding into a couple of loft beds to watch the fall 2006 episodes, and I sobbed with my college roommate on our futon after the Superbowl to watch "the bomb episode".  Gah.

Part of me wishes that Grey's had ended after it's major heyday, maybe sometime in the neighborhood of the time Izzy got cancer?  But then again.... I think there were some episodes after that were some of the best Grey's I've seen... so who knows.

So we're somewhere in season 8, kind of past the major heyday of Grey's... but it's just one of those shows that knows me, ya know?  And then, a couple weeks ago social media officially informed me of the spoiler I really didn't want to know.


Depressing.

I had to give up my Grey's several years ago, when Mr. RH and I were dating and I no longer had time to park myself in front of the TV every Thursday night.  I gave up McDreamy for my McDreamy... so I guess it was a good trade-off? 

Luckily, my McDreamy is paying it forward now by letting us catch up.  Poor guy, he's dying.  He says it's literally the worst television since... well, since Izzy did CPR on a dead deer. 

Excellent point, my McDreamy.  Excellent point.

It's Been a Big Month

So, remember how I swore I was back to blogging and then I wasn't?!  Hahaha, fun times.

Luckily, I have a fun little story (that played out on twitter also, so sorry for the repeats) that happened yesterday, and I just couldn't not share it.

On Tuesday, I was headed to the salon for a little refresh on my highlights when I decided I needed a change.  Mostly because I wear a ponytail every.single.day and everybody was sick of seeing it.

 So I texted my husband - can I pull this off??


Obviously, I wasn't going to just ask him because his replies were basically - "who is this person?"  "Yeah, cut your hair if you feel like it.  I'm sure it'll be fine."    So, I tweeted about it.  All "I'm nervous, should I chop my hair?"

So, I listened to twitter, and chop chop chop.  It wasn't too drastic of a cut, but there's a definite difference.  The next morning, I put on my most-nude lipstick (it's not very nude) and attempted my best Caroline Stanbury selfie. 

And despite my pledge to be mostly-selfie-less on Instagram... I totally posted it.  I'm occasionally allowed to indulge, yes?


Despite the weird-ass look on my face (because I of course posted the outtake instead of the happier-looking photo), I was happy cause everyone was all "great hair" and that's not a compliment I get too often, so I take what I can get. 

A couple of hours later, Whitney tagged Caroline in the photo...  and lo and behold, 20 minutes later, Caroline herself posted a compliment on the photo.

A compliment from one of my favorite Ladies of London?!  Geesh, this whole social media thing just keeps getting better and better!

July 2014 - probably going to be the height of my social media career, yes?

Blogger's Block, TV Hog

I can't write lately.  Every time I sit down at the computer, there are 99 other things that seem more important.  Like planning something for dinner.  Or watering my plants.  Or doing the 98th load of laundry.  Or dealing with the never-ending pile of receipts and paperwork that, even on my best days, overwhelm me. 


So, that being said, things have been mighty boring around these parts.  And it's super-duper disappointing to me.  I miss this place.

  • Can we talk about Desperate Housewives for a second?  I have watched that show since the first first second.  I know that it's really jumped the shark and that it's been almost awful in the past couple of years.... but I was still sad to see it go.  I bawled for at least 15 minutes of the finale.  And I'm glad it didn't go out with a bang.  It would have been Too Much.
  • Anybody else still watching Smash??  I love love Katherine McPhee, but I'm surprised how much I'm falling in love with Ivy (Megan Hilty).  Either way, I'm ready for next season!!  Finally, NBC has a "hit" on their hands.
  • Speaking of NBC... wtf did they do to Harry's Law??  I mean, I just loved that show and Kathy Bates is amazing.  NBC... stop committing crimes against television.  It pains my TV lover's heart.
  • Grey's Anatomy.  I fell off the bandwagon once Mr. RH and I started dating.  There just wasn't enough time for all my shows, and it conflicted with so many other DVR shows that it just wasn't worth it.  I haven't seen anything since the last season finale.  And I see everyone's tweets on Thursday night and I really miss it.  I hope this season will be out on DVD before next season starts so I can catch up.
Ok, feel free to NOT tell me how much my blog sucks lately.  I'm soo aware of it.

Oprah, Girlfriend

Did y'all catch that Soup reference?

In case you've been living under a rock, this is the last week of the nationally syndicated Oprah Winfrey Show.


I remember a few years ago, in 2006, I think, when they announced that she had set an end date for her show. I had just gone over to a friend's house and it was playing on the news.

I froze.

While I rationally knew that everything must come to an end, I honestly couldn't believe that it was going to be over. Fast forward 5 years and that end date is Wednesday.

I know that lots of people are "over" Oprah. They say she's full of herself or too rich or too influential. And I get it - she's annoyingly awesome.

I remember coming home from school with my mom and grabbing the remote to turn on Oprah, first thing. You never knew if you were going to see her confronting her own demons or if she'd be making dreams come true. Those episodes were my favorite.

Oprah was the person who made my mom and I both laugh and cry. You never knew what you'd get when you tuned in, but it was almost guaranteed to make your heart smile. Her show was one of those rare shows that both my mom and I agreed was must-see.

To me, the best part of the show is that Oprah moment. That moment where she up and shocks the hell out of someone just because she can. There are moments from those shows, expressions on people's faces, that are forever burned in my mind.

So I know that this is very cheesey and lame of me to say, but I, for one, am going to have a very big Oprah-sized hole in my TV viewing schedule come Thursday.

Dear Oprah,
I could say a lot of things about the 25 years of The Oprah Winfrey Show. It's made me laugh/cry/sob/rejoice in ways I never thought possible. Your generosity is inspiring and your ability to connect with people is second to none. Thanks for taking America along on this ride and thanks for helping us learn.
Farewell, Oprah Winfrey Show. You will be missed.

Anybody else getting their tissues ready for the last 2 episodes??

Oy Vey, Housewives.

I was up and at em early this morning so I could get my fill of Real Housewife drama... and oh boy did the 90210 squad deliver.


I don't even know where to start.

First of all, I think Camille needs to take a chill pill. And actually, pass one to Kim while you're at it. Both of them are so incredibly defensive it's hard to hear what they're talking about at any given time.

Although, just like I said last week, Kelsey is still a bastard. And I hope Camille takes him to the cleaners.

Taylor is most definitely a pot-stirrer. She just can't resist getting involved. And because her home life is so rotten... she gets involved in everyone else's drama. Boo hiss.

Lisa... I am still obsessed with you. Please adopt me. Also, I applaud your amazing sense of humor and your ability to bitch slap the ladies verbally while making them laugh. Bravo.

Kyle... I don't know about you. Your nasty side is showing and I don't like it. Please spend less time with these ladies and more with your adorable hubby and family.

Adrienne - you're amazing. The end. Way to rise above the drama.

But really... they didn't say much of anything on last night's reunion. I honestly thought it was a wee bit boring.

Do you agree? Is next week's episode going to be more dramatic?

Naughty Housewives

So, I've been a Real Housewives fan since way back in the days of Laurie from Orange County (which wikipedia tells me that was 2006).

So. Let's talk about my new favorite Housewives, the Beverley Hills ladies.

Last night's finale episode was.... complete mayhem. Let me start off by saying that my heart goes out to Taylor and her husband (and daughter). I think she sees the love that the other housewives get (Kyle and Adrienne) and it's no wonder she's jealous. These women have pretty solid relationships from what we see. So my heart goes out to her - she seems miserable.

On the other hand.... is Taylor the new Stirs-the-Pot?? Cause only miserable women seem to be able to turn things from bad to worse in a minute.... and it seems like the drama follows this girl. Which is funny, because she's never directly involved - always peripherally.

I am a huge Kyle fan. Well, I thought I was. I think she has good intentions and is as real as housewives come... but last night I saw a whole different side of her and... yeah.

We all know she has a weak spot when it comes to her sister..... that Kim somehow gets under her skin. But I thought she really loved her sister despite everything.

Last night? Kyle was kind of a bitch. She can't resist hitting Kim when she's down, it seems like.

I still think Kyle is an amazing mother and she seems cool... but yeah, I'm kind of afraid of her.

Now, Miss Kim. She is, in my mind, nearly as manipulative as Camille. That victim role suits her (and annoys the hell out of me). She claims that everything happens TO her. She can never seem to own up to anything or anyone. Wimp.

I understand that maybe she didn't have the best life growing up.. but seriously, grow up. You're an adult, I'm sorry that things have been difficult for you... but stop whining about it. Man up for the love of Martin (speaking of who, did you all see him in the limo? I bet he was wishing to drop dead right then.)

And speaking of Camille... well, we all know she was cast as the villain. And she didn't exactly shy away from the role. However. I think we can all agree on one thing - Camille might be a bitch, but Kelsey is a complete bastard. Running off to NY for a new life and a new wife. I hope she keeps giving him hell in the divorce - and I hope she keeps publicly castrating him. He deserves it. Assh*le.

Edited to Add: (Thanks for the reminder Kristen) Lisa VanderPump, can I be you when I grow up? You're fabulous and amazing and I'm obsessed.

So, that's my Beverly Hills assessment for last night... who can't wait for the reunion next week?? (ME!)

My Life is Complete.

I don't want to freak you all out or anything.. but basically, this is going to be the best week ever.


Ok, for those of you who don't like TV - you're not going to get it.

This week (actually, starting last Thursday), my house is participating in the Nielsen TV survey. Meaning: I am actively involved in TV ratings and influencing which TV shows are given the axe and renewed.

I am so drunk with power.

As you can see from the photo above... I woke up this morning and watched last night's Mad Men.

(I work tonight... but I'm stretching out my mini-vacation as long as possible.)

So, needless to say, this week I will be over-indulging in my love of all things TLC and Bravo-related. Because it's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.

And speaking of last night's Mad Men... was anybody else expecting more drama?? I thought it was a rather quiet episode. And now I'm all depressed cause we have like 10 months before Mad Men returns. Weep.

So... what shows do I need to add to my DVR this week? What am I missing?

And just FYI - something I'm definitely NOT missing out on because it's horrible and should never be watched - My Child is a Monkey on National Geographic channel. I love monkeys as much as the next girl but that show is whacked out. Just say no!

Happy Monday!

Epic Craft Fail. And Real Housewives. A Natural Pair.

Remember my craft project?? The one I couldn't stop yapping about?

Big fail. Huge. I totally screwed this one up.

But no worries I am regrouping and WILL figure out this project if it kills me. Which it very well might.

----------------------------

Yesterday at work was one of those days. From the get-go things just went south. And by 8 pm (I worked till 9:30) I was (on the inside) a puddle on the floor crying and sobbing and being a baby. Except I was working with 6 other girls and that wasn't an option... so I sucked it up and held myself together and instead woke up at 5 am today with MASSIVE anxiety.

Sometimes you just really want a hug from your mom, you know?

I know it'll get better. Deep breath. Also... working 5 days in a row isn't all it's cracked up to be. (Reminder: today, Thursday, is only day 4. Lord help us tomorrow.)

----------------------

Also, have I posted about Real Housewives of DC yet?

So. Here's the thing.

I was going to write this post all yappy-yappy saying this: Hey Andy Cohen: the secret to the success of the RH franchise is that you need me to LIKE somebody on your show. Either because I can identify with her struggles or because she's all-around likeable or tells it like it is - SOMETHING.

Do you all remember Lori from OC?? Gosh, those were the DAYS! She wasn't a perfect parent - and she had real struggles. Her teenage son was addicted to drugs for goodness sake!

And yet - I couldn't help rooting for her. Couldn't help WEEPING as she married her sweet-as-sugar new husband. Who clearly adores her. And couldn't help weeping when she left because zomg miss her so much.

So... I was pissed about DC. Pissed that they're all kinda snarky and unlikeable. But then they talked about Stacy's search for her biological dad and Mary's struggles as a mom and even unlikeable (she is) Cat's friend's death. And then my cold, black heart started to crack and now I'm addicted, ok?

So Andy Cohen... feel free to tell me to shove it. I was wrong. Patience is a virtue.

However, in future seasons you might think about doing some of the sap up front. I want to like the people I love to hate, ok?

Hugs and kisses,
Sarah

----------------------------

Gosh, I'm so glad I got that off my chest.

Have a fabulous Thursday!

Don't Stay LOST

Farewell, LOST. The most stressful show (to me at least) in the history of TV is over. I'm not gonna lie, I'm feeling the loss pretty intensely today, as many of my summer show haven't started yet. What am I supposed to do tonight?

Ahem.

I know that I've seen a lot of disappointment over the finale - but in all honesty, I think that's to be expected. As opposed to a show like Grey's or Desperate Housewives - where a great majority of the audience is "over it" - the watchers of LOST are (were?) still very much invested going into the finale.

Spoiler Alert.

Although if you haven't watched it by now... you need to get your butt to a couch, asap.

So the moral of the story is, basically, that it all happened. That the island was real. They were all there together.

And, in the end, Jack died as the rest of the gang escaped the island (with the exception of Hurley and Ben).

Which brings us to the flash sideways, in which, I think, everybody is dead. Everyone is dead but going about their normal lives as if the island never happened. And, one by one, often with the help of the love of their lives, the passengers of that fateful Oceanic flight realize that they are dead.

(Yeah, I didn't really understand that part all too much.)

Basically, this season's flash-sideways was about their trip to the afterlife. Their trip "into the light."

I can see how people wanted more resolution or a more concrete finale.... but I dunno.

(Well, that settles things. Obviously I'm clueless... nothing new there!)

Anybody got a new Tuesday night show??

Holy Moly Finale

If you follow me on twitter, we probably have already had the following discussion about the Grey's Anatomy finale last night:

"ZOMGGGGGGGGG"

"Holy crap."

"I may never sleep from the stress of it all."

"NOOOO Bailey!!!"

And on and on and on.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is, the Grey's Anatomy season finale last night may be one of the best season finales OF ALL TIME.

Within the first 10 minutes, a major character was shot. A minor character was dead. And on and on it went for - oh - two hours.

Twitter seemed to sigh a collective sigh of relief that there were no big "cliffhangers" as the finale... and maybe I'm psycho-analyzing, but I think there were a few!

First off, is Alex going to die? He lost a LOT of blood. Even though it seems like he's doing ok... yeah, he just might die. And did it break anybody else's heart that he saw Izzy as he was fading out of consciousness??

And Meredith's pregnancy.... so, she said she was having a miscarriage - but how the heck does she know that?? Bleeding during pregnancy isn't all that uncommon.... and the way they show her tossing her positive pee stick made me feel like she's going to have an abortion and not tell Derek. Because there's a lot of healing that needs to happen (to Derek and tons of other characters), I feel like she thinks now is not the right time. I dunno - I just got a weird vibe in my stomach.

Honestly, I can't even remember the rest of what I wanted to say.

Except this:

Grey's Anatomy - that was the best episode you've ever had. Quite possibly, one of the best season finale's ever.

Welcome back.

(And yes, I'm forgiving you for making Izzie resuscitate a deer.)

Were you watching last night??

What You Should Be Watching

A couple of years ago, I was watching, I would guess, a Lifetime Movie when I saw an ad for a new series on Lifetime. Not one to watch a lot of Lifetime programming (please, define "a lot"), I didn't pay it much attention.

But boy was I wrong.

Army Wives follows the lives and events of four women (and one man) who have been bonded together by their spouse's military careers.

Now in its fourth season, I could not be more excited for the first episode the aired on Sunday night. I just watched it and it ran such a gamut of emotions - I was all over the place.

I don't want to talk about details because some of you might not have watched the episode yet... but wow.

If you are looking for a show to fill the void left in your heart while all your favorite are on hiatus.... Army Wives most definitely fits the bill.

You should totally be watching.

And then we can chat about it. Mkay?

And maybe we can laugh and cry together. Cause I love those kinda shows.

What are you waiting for? Go set your DVR. NOW!

(PS What are you watching this summer? My DVR is not nearly full enough!)

(Also, tonight, ZOMG LOST! Who's excited! Seriously, I am DYING for it to be 9 pm.)

Are You LOST?

Cause I most certainly am.

So. LOST. The TV series.


I watched it in the beginning, then quit. Too many twists and turns for my little brain.

Then this year twitter made me jump back on the bandwagon.

I'm caught up... but I'm still completely lost.

I think the good vs. evil metaphors are getting way too out of control. I mean... come ON!

Or maybe it's just the only subtext of the show that my tiny tiny brain can understand.

I said in the past that I could give a crap less about LOST.

But clearly I was wrong.

Who else is watching? What's your theory?

Biggest Loser

So, this is the first season I've ever really watched The Biggest Loser intently. For some reason, I never really got into it.

But this season I fell for 2 of the characters: Abby and Allen. Both of them were kind and encouraging and I just fell in love with them. They were amazing, kind people.

But of course they both got eliminated (I cried both times) and so there are 4 remaining contestants: Rudy, Danny, Liz, and Amanda.

So here are my observations/opinions...

Rudy: The way he's coming across on camera, in my opinion, in the past.. maybe 4 episodes is that he's in it for the money. I mean, I'm happy that he's losing weight and all that... but I just see this hunger for the wrong prize. I mean, everybody would love a suitcase full of money... but aren't you thrilled to have your life back? Before I started noticing that, I really liked Rudy... he seems like a sweet guy with a cute family.

Danny: He's a great guy - kindhearted and fun-loving. However. His time at home has me pretty livid. He lost 59 pounds in 60 days. I know that, in the beginning, contestants lose weight at a probably unhealthy rate... but after a couple of months on the ranch, he should NOT be able to lose weight that quickly. In my mind, there is probably either starvation or foul play with laxatives or some other weight-loss aid - and I have reasoning to back it up. In last week's episode, where the contestants ran the marathon, he was literally gray and ashen for the majority of the race. I thought FOR SURE he was going to pass out at any second. In fact, if you rewatch the episode there are 2 instances where you can see an EMT cross the screen right next to him - I guess the producers thought he wasn't doing too hot either. Though I'm happy for Danny that he's doing so well - I am literally afraid for his heart. Obesity takes a huge toll on the heart.. but I think that unhealthy weight loss might take an even greater toll.

Liz: I am so happy for Liz. She has definitely worked hard and conquered some of her fears to put herself first and lose the weight. That being said... I'm a little meh about her. She made some comments earlier in the season about how she was a Southern woman with a helluva lot of determination and it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I like Liz and I'm happy for her... but kinda ambivalent. Sorry Liz.

Amanda: She reminds me SO MUCH of some girls I know - not in the fact that she was heavy but in the way she didn't believe in herself. SO many girls I know believe that they're not strong enough or tough enough to withstand any kind of crappy situation - but I just LOVE how Amanda has grown up during this season. I just get goosebumps thinking about how this show has really truly already changed her life - winning would just be the cherry on top if you know what I mean.

Well I'm sure most of you could care less about The Biggest Loser.... but if you have a prediction - who's going to win? And on the other hand - who do you WANT to win?

I would guess that Danny wins but I kinda wish one of the ladies would win. I'm all about the girl power feminism up in herre.

Happy Tuesday!

Must-See TV

Since I was a kid, Thursday night has always been must-see TV. In my younger days, Friends was my Thursday night show.

Rachel and Ross... the back and forth... I lived for Thursday night.

So, that brings me to Thursdays now.

Me? I'm a Grey's Anatomy / Private Practice girl. I've watched both since the beginning and while they have both had their ups and downs... I'm dedicated.

I also DVR Project Runway because that show? Is 5 kinds of awesome. Unfortunately, I forgot to set my DVR last night so I'm feeling a little sad today... hopefully I can watch it online.

What kind of Thursday night girl are you? The Office? Grey's? CSI? Something else I've never heard of?

What am I missing out on while I'm watching Grey's?

Happy Friday!

I Live Next Door to Mrs. Draper

So about 2 weeks ago, after hearing Mrs. Newlywed tweet and blog about Mad Men, I decided I needed to take the plunge. Of course, I decided I needed to watch Season 2's 12 episodes at about the same time I needed to renovate this new house, so it was definitely a challenge.

But I caught up and watched the premiere last Sunday and I have seriously become possessed.

First of all, come to momma Mr. Don Draper.

This man is soo good looking. I just wish he'd start to treat his wife better... I think they make such a beautiful couple.

Speaking of the Mrs., January Jones is just stunning as Mrs. Draper.

I am seriously thinking of cutting my hair similar to hers. I love how it looks when she wakes up during the night and it's all messy and cute. She. is. gorgeous.

My favorite character on the show is Joan. She practically runs the agency, and I love her.

I would do just about anything to have her hair for a day. And maybe her body.

I also loove Mr. Sterling. He's just a sexy silver fox, that's all I'm sayin.

Yum.

And last but not least, I hate Pete.

I hope he gets hit by a car soon. Or maybe one of the ladies on the show will finally punch him.... I can only dream.

------------------------

Now keeping in mind all of my obsession this show... keep reading.

I went to introduce myself to my new neighbor yesterday. Imagine the conversation.

Sarah: Hi, I'm Sarah. We just moved into the Miller's old house. Blah blah blah.

Neighbor: Hi, I'm Mrs. Draper. I'm a widow, so I love her all alone... blah blah blah.

Sarah: {no words, just a stunned silence}.

Neighbor: Well, it was really great to meet you, Sarah.

Sarah: You too, Mrs. Draper(!!!)

In conclusion, I live next door to Mrs. Draper. Can't wait to see her tonight on Mad Men.

Have a great Sunday!

The Case that Wasn't

Today, I was all set to write a post about The Case of the Missing Class Ring. This is a photo of the ring from last year when I had the most mysterious bruise on my hand.

I love my ring to pieces so I was extremely upset that I couldn't find it. I had been looking for it since we moved on Monday and it was NOWHERE to be found.

Until I found it at the bottom of a shopping bag, where I no doubt put it for safekeeping.

Lesson learned: I'm an idiot.

----------------------------------------

Project Runway.

Loved Althea's evening dress - I'd wear it in a second.

Irina's dress was stunning - love love loved it.

Ari's dress.... she looks almost like she was wrapped in toilet paper. She was pillowy, too hard to understand. The collar was just too over the top. Yeah, I can see how she went home. Weird, just weird.

But can I just say... how the hell did Mitchell get away with throwing a sheet over the model and throwing her onto the runway? It was horrible, and I seriously can't believe he survived. The judges definitely took a leap of faith with him, that's for sure.

Did any of you watch Project Runway?? What did you think?

I DVR'd Models of the Runway so I'm interested to see how that goes.

--------------------------

I'm all out of interesting things to say today... have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Swirly...

Well, Happy Memorial Weekend everyone... I hope it was a fabulous one for all!

I spent the weekend bouncing between 500 different things. I cleaned, organized, wasted time on the internet, helped my dad plant flowers in pots around the house, read Eclipse for the second time, organized my closet (omg, I am a clotheshorse), etc.

Needless to say, I am just scattered.

The first thing I have to ask of all the internets is this:
I need a blog facelift. The black is weighing me down.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to who might be able to give me a makeover? Who did your blog design? I am NOT going to spend a fortune because I just got my credit card bill (o holy crap) and that just can't happen again... but I would like something that looks nice.

Second, did anyone watch Jon & Kate Plus 8 last night? I am just feeling weighted down by the heaviness of it all. I have loved that show since their very first special on TLC and I am just saddened by their marital troubles. I am also feeling very sick about the way the paparazzi have played a role in destroying their families.

I'll be the first to say that I'm as guilty as anyone else - I read the tabloid websites and read the gossip sites, but Kate was right when she said nobody ever really stops and thinks about how the people in those magazines are PEOPLE. It's just sad and it sickens me - the way our society takes joy in destroying a family. I love their show and think they have a beautiful, adorable family... but last night's episode just made me sad sad sad.

I guess that's all I've really got today.. please please give me suggestions on who I should contact for a blog redesign... I need a facelift!!

Happy Monday Tuesday!

I love Thursdays!!

Happiness has returned to me today... because it is Thursday.

Why so happy? Grey's Anatomy.

I am hopelessly addicted and I can not find a cure.

A Note to Some of My Favorite Characters:

Meredith, please let McDreamy love you. I know that some may say this will create untold depths of boring-ness, but I don't care. He loves you, you love him... and you live happily ever after.

Christina, why oh why did you let Burke go? I miss him so. (Ok, well I know about the whole gay-bashing scandal thing... but still. I miss him - and you - together.) Anyway, other than that... why don't you hook up with some other hunk and get all bent out of shape because love is messy. Please?

George, will you pull your head out of your butt and realize that Lexie is in love with you. She'd be good for you, and mend your broken heart.

Alex, why must you torture Izzie with your Jekyll and Hyde routine? We all know you're a softie with a rough past... please, let us in. We want to know who made you damaged.

Izzie, I'm sorry about Denny. Still sorry. Every time I dig out my DVDs and watch the episode where Denny dies, I sob hysterically. The dress, the bathroom floor, the pain... it still gets to me. I can vividly remember his quote from Season 3 when he meets Meredith in heaven:

No. Sometimes we’d be at the same place at exactly the same time and I can almost hear her voice. It’s like I’m touching her. I like to believe she knows I’m there. That’s all you get. That’s it. Moments with the people you love. And they’ll move on and you’ll want them to move on. But still, Meredith, that’s all you get. Moments.
Izzie, I am so so sorry. I hope you and Alex can find each other and heal each other.


Well, that's all for today. I'm a little obsessed, can you tell?

Happy Thursday!

love,
