Happy New Year....

I hope that 2010 is so much better than 2009. Have a safe and happy night.

Have Yourself a Merry Little....

I miss my blogger friends and hope that in the New Year I will get back on track with my blog. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday and Santa brings you all everything you wish for. Merry, Merry Christmas to everyone!

Can't Bitch if You Don't Vote

Last night I watched the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance. I have watched all season just have not recapped due to time constraints. So here is my opinion (whether you want it or not). I am pissed that Ashleigh and Ryan are in the final 6 (and don't get me started about the fact that it is not the final 4). Legacy should have been in the finale as should have Mollee (surprisingly). As I was complaining about this fact my husband (the sage that he is) interrupted and asked how many times I voted this season. "Well none" I said, "but still" and he announced "you can't bitch if you don't vote". As much as I hate to admit it, he is correct. So after watching the performances last night; I voted (more than once). And I voted for....yep you guessed it..Russell. The smile, the style and the dance won me over. Honestly I would not be devastated if Kathryn won but I really want Russell to come out of this victorious. As for favorite dances this season, very few jump out and grab me. Noelle and Russell's painting number was good, Jakob and Mollee's waltz was beautiful. Any others that were great? Anyway, go Russell. Looking forward to tonight.

Trying to get Caught Up..

Christmas is upon us and I have been remiss in keeping up with my blogger friends (and trying to write a little something on my blog) but I wanted to reach out and say hello to one and all.

I was just reading David Dust and also wanted to give a shout-out to my favorite show of this new season...Glee. I love it, love it, love it and last night's "fall finale" did not disappoint.

A few others that I am loving thus far this season...Cougar Town, Modern Family, So You Think You Can Dance (as always), Gossip Girl (getting back into its groove the past few weeks), NCIS:Los Angeles and Bones.

My goodness I watch a lot of television. Anyway, I miss you all and will check in soon.

The Amazing Race - Farewell

I needed to write a quick letter after watching Sunday's episode of The Amazing Race (bear with me)...

Dear Flight Time and Big Easy,

Thank you both for being the team with the best attitude on The Amazing Race ever (except maybe Jon and Kris from Season 6). You were both classy, classy guys with wonderful smiles. Maybe not the smartest when it came to puzzles but definitely the team that looked like they were having the most fun. You will be missed in a finale of which I have no team to pull for.

Thanks for remembering the joy of the game.

Tivo Mom

PS Please tell me that a little part of you wants to kick the brothers ass for screwing you in the Roadblock. Just a little part.

There are great people...

Thanksgiving is upon us and we all need to take a little time to reflect on what we are thankful for. So much is written about the faults people have these days. The news is overrun with stories of horror and evil. Celebrities cannot seem to deny their lives of excess and overindulgence. With all of this said, I just read a story about Chris Spielman (here), a former NFL player who recently lost his wife to cancer. In the early stages of her fight, Speilman took a leave from the NFL to be with his wife and help her through her treatment. Now this is not something that an average man would not do, it becomes shocking when the act is completed by someone famous. I need to read more positive reports these days to remember the good in people. It is out there we just have to acknowledge and be thankful for it.

Did Anyone Watch?

Ok, I am not a Sarah Palin fan. Never have been. As a Republican, I was completely devastated last year when she was picked as the VP candidate. But of course I wanted to watch her Oprah interview just to see if I was right in my original dislike. And for the record, yes I was! She seemed fake, scripted and too gung ho about her "wonderful marriage". Here's the thing; I like people with imperfections. I want to know that you and your husband fight every once in awhile. I want to know that when your stupid-ass ex maybe son-in-law decides to reveal your secrets and pose for Playgirl that it pisses you off. The entire interview seemed tense and superficial. Oprah tried but there was no warmth at all. Just wanted to sound off. Did anyone else watch?
