I have really tried to pull myself away from watching the mindless dribble that is reality television, but somehow those Kardashians keep pulling me in with their family drama! I just watched the conclusion of the “Kardashian therapy session” and my heart really went out to Rob Kardashian. I think he is a bit left out on the “family business” end of things, but he really does need to take more initiative.

My Review of the September T&C
Last month I expressed my excitement about getting several magazines in the mail. Among those magazines was the September issue of Town & County, which was full of really great articles. One article that popped out at me was in the “Manners & Misdemeanors” column, which this month was written by Ali Wentworth, the beautiful wife of George Stephanopoulos.

I love the glossy covers, the perfume samples and the smell of the ink on the paper! I’m weird, I know, but I’ll always subscribe/purchase and read magazines the old fashioned way! The […]

The commercials for a “series premiere” of a new show can peak our interest, helping us decide whether or not we want to watch the first episode. Once we’re hooked, we have got to be willing to invest the time to see how these characters develop and how the storyline evolves. Some shows last five, six, even ten seasons; however, there are some good TV shows that only lasted one season. Here are a few of my favorite “one season wonders.” 1. Freaks […]
