I have the Coolest Family...and did you see Damages?

I have the absolute COOLEST family. I believe I mentioned that in my last post, but let me just say it again. My grandfather just sent me a link to his Facebook profile - he is so cool! Grandpappy, if you're reading this, just know that I LOVE you!! (and please ignore any cuss words that might find their way onto the page).

So, on to Damages...for any of you who do not know what I'm talking about, it is only the best show on the tube today (not YouTube - that would be "Boogie Shoes" - see below). Damages is one of those shows that makes one not want to go to law school - these people are evil. When the show first started I labeled each character as "good" or "bad" and the labels have changed back and forth after each episode. Needless to say, the storyline has kept me going through the finale that aired last night and I can't wait to see how they develop the plot over next season. What would we do without Frobisher? If you're a fan, you should check out Whitney's column (she's a fellow southern girl) in USA Today for a great Damages discussion - Pop Candy.

In the Beginning....

Honestly, I have nothing really interesting to say other than I'm a virgin blogger (meaning my first time for you sharp witted folks). I thought this would be the perfect outlet to just be me without having to fill some other role like wife, mother, professional, volunteer, saint, sinner, etc...you know all those other people one tends to become during a lifetime. Like all working moms, I find myself to be stretched a little thin some days and need to reconnect with myself. What better way than to keep a journal? But why an online journal? I like to think of myself as up to speed on all the tech stuff, so why not? Besides, I read a friend of mine's blog today and IT WAS HILARIOUS!! You should check it out on my links and leave her some comments so she'll keep blogging.

So you know a lot about me already - I'm a busy girl, got a lot going on, but have every intention of maintaining this blog as it is necessary to maintain my sanity. I could definitely make time to blog during my daily "High School Musical" marathon. Yes - no one is safe...and the soundtrack replays in my head constantly, even had to add it to the iPod for cruises in the Mini-van.

I must say however, that regardless of my dry humor and sarcastic wit, I am fiercely loyal to my family and my friends - of which I have the absolute COOLEST - and I am at heart, a student of life. I have tons of interests, too many for the day I'm afraid, and find it frustrating that I don't have enough time to do it all. Besides your everyday reading, writing and arithmetic (yes, I'm a geek), I am a big fan of pop culture, celebrity gossip, movies, music, books, wine, SEC football and european history. Lets not forget the kids - they are the most amazing souls I've ever met. Equal parts angel and heathen, they know how to bring me tears of happiness in an instant and infuriate me to the point of blowing my top the next. Bottom line is that they are absolute perfection.
