And now Dirty Sexy Money, Pushing Daisies, and (my new favorite) Eli Stone! Maybe the universe is telling me to stop watching so much TV!
Okay, so I am officially the Kiss of Death for TV shows... As soon as I like one, it usually gets cancelled. Here is a list of shows I love that have been cut short in their prime...
- Lipstick Jungle
- My Own Worst Enemy
- Big Shots
- October Road
- Journeyman
- Crowned
- Miami Ink
- Miss Guided
- Teachers
- Studio 60
- Friday Night Lights
- The Singing Bee
- The Class
- Traveler
- What About Brian?
- Commander in Chief
- In Justice
- Good Morning Miami
- Reunion
So sad, so sad...
(FYI, I am not so completely obsessed with these shows being cancelled that I keep this list in my head...I googled cancelled shows and picked the ones I loved...)
A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me with this... I don't have it so bad after all!

It's been FOREVER since I posted, but reading the blog of a mom from school made me want to start blogging again.... Plus, I have some exciting news:
So I am taking charge of my Singleness! I recently read a book I bought at a Christian bookstore called Table for One about enjoying being single and not putting your life on hold, so last week I went to dinner by myself! This may not be a huge deal to you, but it is to me. I even sat without my back to everyone (which was my initial instinct) and NO ONE looked like they felt sorry for me! I feel like I am living, not waiting for life to begin.
I also decided that with my 30th birthday around the corner, I would try to come up with a list of 30 reasons it's great to be single. I have 28 currently, and the funny thing is, I came up with four and the other 24 were given to me by my married friends! There are things to be thankful for that I never even thought to be thankful for! I'll post the list when it's completed!
