 (Because I’m sure you’ve been waiting all summer to find out.) Apologies for the slightly narcissistic tone of that post title (but I mean, c’mon, it’s a blog) but you guys, I love this time of year.Those of you who’ve been following along for awhile know I’m not talking about pumpkin spice creamer and pumpkin spice […]  For the past four years I’ve reposted this story on 9/11. Why? Because we all have our stories from that horrific day, and try as we might, we can’t make them change. 15 years ago at this time I was trying desperately to get another hour of sleep. My 4 month old had had a fussy […]  Dear daughters, Today you both start another year of school. For the third year in a row it will be in separate states, and for the 15th year in a row I’ll spend the day trying not to drink my feelings be overwhelmed with feelings that, if allowed, will engulf me. Feelings that surprisingly (or […]  One week in to the overhauled, new and yet-to-be-determined-if-improved Friday Favorites and I’m already living up to my prediction that they might not always make it up by Friday. Go easy on me, ya’ll. I’ve had a rough week. It was take-your-daughter-back-to-college week, or as I’ve come to know it as, three to seven days […]  Random thing to know about me #287: Recently I’ve had to start using a magnifying mirror — one the size of a paper plate that is suctioned cupped to my regular bathroom mirror which no longer works — to be able to do things like put on eyeliner and actually SEE MY FACE … and when […] “Pictures or it didn’t happen.” It’s not just how much of America’s youth — which is how I now describe the under-40 set — lives life these days, but also pretty much become our motto around here over the past few years. I’m not kidding, I take pictures of everything. My food, my cats, my […]  Great news, O fellow fans of guilty pleasure shows chock full of girls with identical hairstyles and tear-streaked faces who’re hoping to live out their unattainable dreams in front of a cameraman who’s currently shooting his own, I’ve got a show for us to dish over for the next couple of months. And while it doesn’t have roses […]  You know the rest of the rhyme, right? If you were at my cabin with me last weekend when the power was out for over 48 hours you sure as shit do. Pun intended. But while you might not have been there heaving jugs of lake water up into the toilet tank and saying a quick prayer […]  Before we dive into the murky green waters of Thailand, let’s rewind to May for a sec, shall we? *insert wavy lines here* I’d like to say it’s like I’m a freakin’ clairvoyant, but you guys, I really can’t own this prediction. I mean, we all saw it coming, didn’t we? Well, except for Robby. […]  Settle down, friends. This isn’t a real recap. But since my crew and I just got caught up on the three episodes we missed while we were in London (although I already knew who’d been SHOCKINGLY cut — thanks a LOT Chris Harrison’s Facebook feed and my stupid compulsion for scrolling social media while taking advantage […]

Snarkfest - I can’t WAIT for Designated Survivor!!!!
Michelle - I know!! I don’t usually fall for shows like that but the whole premise looks so fresh and interesting. Plus, Kiefer Sutherland. Can’t go wrong. (Unless your name is Julia Roberts…)
Bev Draughon - Bull with Michael Weatherly. I will miss him on NCIS but this show looks promising to me.
Michelle - I will definitely take a look at the trailer! Thanks for the tip!! 🙂
Tiff - I just wrote a similar post on my blog but yours is so much better!
Fall TV is my absolute favorite time of the year & there are a lot of new shows to watch. I can’t wait!
Michelle - Kindred spirits!! 🙂 Going to check it out right now!
Lara - I’m VERY thankful I’m not the only one who sits down and pretty much draws up a football playbook for the fall television schedule. I do a list by time and day of the week. I do a list by network. I do a list by what day they start or come back.
Thank you for supporting my crazy. 🙂
Michelle - Always happy to support crazy, especially when it’s concerning television! What shows are you watching? Any disappointments yet? (Mine is “Speechless” – I tried to like it but haven’t been able to get through an entire episode yet. 🙁 )
Lara - Returning shows: Agents of Shield, Flash, Supergirl, DC Legends, Survivor, Gotham, Poldark, Big Bang Theory
New shows: This is Us (LOVE), Designated Survivor (Kiefer can be president of my LIFE), Son of Zorn (my 13 yr old son LOVES this), Timeless (still on the DVR, haven’t watched it yet), and The Good Place (really enjoying this). I was going to watch Conviction but I’m limited on time & DVR space.
I love a show with well-written snappy dialogue, and The Good Place has all that.
And, of course, I am addicted to DCC: Making the Team. My 13 yr old son also watches this with me…but probably for different reasons than he did two years ago. 😉
