TV

2 TV shows worth discussing this week:

1.  The Bachelor.  Thankfully I haven't spent the entire season glued to watching this crazy man pick a wife - or not.  However, I have spent more hours this week than I care to admit watching the fallout from this.  Melissa is lucky to have been dumped when she did.  She could've married him and been dumped 6 weeks later.  Another reminder that I'm thankful that I have a good God to follow and not "follow my heart."  Emotions are deceiving - they're leading Jason right off a cliff...  What a jerk.  

2.  24.  Are you watching this??  When Scott was on a deployment once, some friends gave me the second season on DVD to watch.  I was obsessed.  It was thrilling to watch such an adrenaline inducing show without commercials and be able to watch one episode right into another.  I found myself hoping my children would take a longer nap or go to bed earlier so that I could get lost in Jack Baur land again.  I finally made the grown-up decision to turn off the DVD.  I've never watched it regularly.  As a previous Alias lover, I knew that I would also love 24 and didn't want to tempt myself with getting involved in another tv show.  The goal is less -not more, right?  Anyway - I'm home many nights by myself again and have spent the season with 24.  It is fast paced, suspenseful, well-written and probably one of the best shows on tv.  (I know - I watch a few of them!)  Find it on Monday nights.

Interesting stuff, huh? :)   I absolutely HATE talking about tv shows.  It became a joke about me when we were in Cali because I had friends that wanted to pick apart shows with me.  I'm not into that.  I watch it, enjoy it and move on.  I'm not into rehashing details or figuring out what the underlying motives are.  However, if you'd like to talk The Bachelor or 24 with me this week, I'm in...
