I've watched too much TV since i have been home.
From Dr. Keith, Maury, some jackass named Greg Bernhardt(???. He wrote the book He's just not that into you. Why did they give him a show),Rachel Ray(don't get me started) and The View, i feel like my mind has been fried.
It's not even that TV is addictive, it's just that you catch the craziest things while browsing the channels.
I wish i was one of those people who say crap like "i don't watch television", which is usually followed by, "but when i do watch television, i like Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty..." and the list goes on.
Perhaps i am a product of the times. Sure my imagination alone covers most of my entertainment necessity during the day,but i am still just a product of TV, and if i am not curled up with a favorite read, than a remote is usually in my hand.
But as of late TV has begun to bore me. Donald and Rosie's feud, Maury's baby daddy drama, bald Dr. Keith and his useless advice, have resorted to me turning off the destructive tube and clawing my eyeballs from sheer boredom.
Okay it isn't that bad,but you get the picture. I may be ready to go back to school now.
Marie finally got in touch with me after calling the house phone instead of my cell phone(sneaky, sneaky), and i may be going to a baby shower for her sister today.
Marie's older sister Jessica is to Marie as my brother is to me. Except that even though i don't like my brother half of the time, I don't hate him as Marie hates her sister.
Regardless of their tension, Marie likes her nephew and is taking an interest in the new addition to her sisters family, a baby girl .
I feel utterly bad if i go though, because my brother is having a baby...and well, lets just say there is no Baby shower in the works.
The reason i haven't talked about the baby, is because my brother rarely does. He still walks around as if this isn't a life changing addition to the family. He has a new girlfriend, he still does what he wants to, and seems oblivious to the fact that a baby will be here in 3 months.
My mom is putting her grandma in training sessions to use. Dragging me to the baby section of every store. Pointing out how good this looks, how important this is for the baby, yadda yadda yadda. And we are even sending a care package. Full of essential baby goods, and things for the mother(she's in Michigan)
I can't help but feel a little hesitant to the new addition. I don't doubt that i will totally be fond of him. I imagine trips to Toys R' Us, parks, and a very proud me at his kindergarten graduation.
But i wish his entry into our family was greeted with a colorful baby shower. That something as small as a baby shower celebrating his arrival could visually show what me and mom feel inside. That we are generally awaiting the many birthday's, smiles, laughter, and presence with us.

I guess i'll have a lifetime to make it up to him.

is your family (your mom, you, your brother?) planning on being involved with the new little guy? it sounds like it....i don't envy you that situation, though. but i think sending a care package is a great thing to do - especially if it has things in it for the baby's mom. i think single moms get kind of cheated; everyone is so focused on the baby!!! that the mom maybe doesn't get as much TLC as she deserves.....
incidentally: I AM one of those people who doesn't really watch TV. i watch top chef, and some HGTV sporadically, but that's about it.
tv makes me antsy.
I watch lots of TV, but no reality shows, talk shows, soaps... I find good old crime drama my favorite...and British mysteries. Go figure.
I'm sure the new one will be much loved with YOU around...!
Happy de-lurker week! (Not that I lurk or anything...)
Wow. I know every single pathetic TV show you listed. Day time TV is a sad, sad, industry.
But thank your lucky stars you have not degenerated as far as I have. I watch QVC, HSN, and ShopNBC. That's right. There is a lower hell than Maury.
