Things I LOVE!!

If you know me, you know I have a big screen TV. well two, and HD Directv. Yes, we are a little nuts for TV. HOWEVER my husband and I are TV snobs! We just won't watch any crap movie on Lifetime. NO, but we will watch anything on BBC once or TWICE.. I am proud to say I have never seen ONE second of American Idol. Nor have we seen Lost or 24..... not sure why. I thought I would share some of our FAVORITE shows with you!! BECAUSE I care!



1. Top Gear This show is so freaking funny, and can be found on BBC America or BBC2 if you live in London. 3 male host that test drive all kinds of cars and do all sorts of Crazy challenges! Some of my favorite challenges: The 3 host, from London, drive cars they buy for $1500 in Miami up to Alabama than to Louisiana.. IT WAS CRAZY, I laughed, cried, I did not wet my pants. So you may not be into cars, some I have never heard of most I have never heard of. OH and they do have segment on their show where they put "A star in a reasonably price car" Where they take a British star who most of the time I have not heard of and they basically race a Chevy Colbot around their race track. Its a good time, I hope you and your family can find time to watch it.



2. MadMen. You know it is on AMC and I have blog about it before. 1960s Advertising men running a muck in NYC. Also on Netflix. You should also watch this show. It has won many, many, many awards for everything.



3. Dr. Who and Torchwood. I love them you probably won't. So I won't go into to much detail, because you can't handle them. Torchwood should probably not be viewed by anybody that has or wants morals. They are both Sci-fi and can be found on BBC America.



5. The Office!! Can you believe Jim and Pam had a baby!?!?! I am so happy for them. I love that show. I fear that show may not be on much longer because of the Baby Effect. It is a well know fact that producers, writers, whoever often feel that when a show is not doing well the best way to spice it up is to have someone have a baby... This only worked once on the show Friends. But back to The Office, I am one who loves the show, and I don't care about how you hate it because it reminds you of your office... Why do you hate it?? It looks like a lot of fun working at Dunder Mifflin Paper. I don't get it !?!?! I won't even go into how i hate The British Office....

So what are you favorite shows?? I hope it is one of those or else I don't care... well no I am always looking for new awesome shows.

**YAWN**

Dear Sleep....

I pretty much miss you and I am not so sure you miss me because you don't come around anymore... Its so true. I have not been sleeping well, and its starting to show... I blame a few things like my hub and son for whatever reasons they have, there are times they won't let me sleep. Son did not sleep Saturday night because of our awesome annual family pizza/pool party. I am in charge of it, so you know it was AWWWWESOME. I do such a good job of party planning it hurts my face. Does it stress me out some, but no more then watching someone fail to plan a party, then watching the party go down in a horrible, messy fire.... I lose sleep over that too... I have some other reason I lose sleep, mainly the fact that we don't have a KING size Sleep by number bed..... Someday.

But last night it was my own darn fault me and hub stayed up and watched 2 episodes of Mad Men... OH YEAH If you have not seen that show its because of 3 things. 1) Its on AMC and you don't have cable 2) its has sex, smoking and drinking 3) You have not heard of it, but probably now since it got nominated for 16 Emmys.... That's pretty awesome. So now that I have your attention what is it about?? Its about an Advertising Company in NYC during the early 60's, 1962 right now. So the show is about Don Draper and his adventures about being a hip cat family man/playboy..... Its so crazy to watch. We started watching the 2nd season this weekend and its so interesting to see how people acted back then... Like in the last few episodes Don has his 8 year old daughter mixing cocktails for him and others. I hope that does not fly now. Or how everybody smokes EVERYWHERE all the time... at home, at work, at the grocery store, and at the doctors.. That says GOOD health when after your visit with the doc you both light up your smokes... GOOD TIMES. My favorite part is when Don's cocktail mixing daughter found a plastic dry cleaning bag and put it on her head... Her mom said something to the effect of... "take that off it makes you look ugly..." NOT "TAKE THAT OFF, BEFORE YOU DIE." Oh how far we have come since the 1960s... which makes me wonder where we will be in 50 some years.... HMMMMMM

SO Mad Men is good... MOST of you won't watch because you are GOOD Mormons who don't have cable. So that is fine, but still makes me question why we are friends... WAIT... good mormons don't have cable?? Yeah pretty much because they can't be tempted by PAYING for all that SMUT. YEP 2 things they hate PAYING for SIN... (did you get that how I capitalized paying and sin... because they hate paying for things they don't need... and then most things on cable are pretty bad) So its a double whammy and why most mormons do not have cable.... Hub and I could never be good Mormons since we pay $106 a month for High Def Directv.... OH YEAH. mmm HD DVR..
