One of my happiest memories of our early marriage is holing up in the bedroom of our first apartment watching the Olympics. We channeled in The Games by carefully positioning the rabbit ears “just so”. As long as we didn’t move or breathe too emphatically, NBC came streaming in with only a teensy bit of […]
The #Downton Tweet Storm is Unleashed!
The month of January and I aren’t besties. Icy tundras aren’t really my thing, and I’m sort of a fan of circulation in my body. Regardless, maybe there is a host of delights about this year’s kickstart, but right now my brain is too frozen by the recent sub-zero temps to think of anything except […]
October Crush
October. FALL. The time of leaves, apple scents, and heavy crushing on some new (to me at least) trends. I am very good at crushing. Skilled at driving my husband nuts with my latest finds and loves. In fact, if he hears me swoon any more over the new gunmetal Michael Kors watch and fantasize […]
Let the Awards Season Roll!
Awards season officially kicked off last night with the Golden Globes, and it was just pure fantastic fun. I often question my blogging, “Why the heck am I doing this?”. Yes, obviously it’s exceptionally lucrative and the sky-rocketing fame is incredibly rewarding, but sometimes I question whether the intense workload is worth it…Not last night. […]
Why We Won’t Be Shacking Up at The Abbey Anytime Soon…
I’m in love with Downton Abbey. No secret here, and I promise not to spend the next 7 weeks talking your ear off about my beloved program, but bear with me for one more day as I ride the hype. It’s just such darn justified hype, so I can’t let it pass by. And when […]
The Fall Line-Up
We’ve started doing our own version of a draft pick around here come leaf-changing season. Source: Microsoft ClipArtGetting a game plan together… Why, oh why, are there so many incredibly awesome-looking shows rolled out each fall? When you figure in all of the returning shows to which we’ve pledged our undying loyalty, the new ones […]
The Olympics: The Monday Review
I know, I know–how many times can I beat a dead horse? After this post, I promise to only mention The Olympics in passing and not dedicate any future entire posts to The Games–at least until Sochi in 2014 ;). But I’ve gotta give London a break-down. Obviously, I’m in love with The Olympics and […]
Let the Games Begin!
So, you may have noticed my 50 billion references in the past few months to the Summer Games. Not that I’m obsessed or anything…I have a long-standing love affair with the Olympics. Some of my fondest memories of our early marriage are from when we didn’t have cable and only got NBC in our apartment […]
The Next Food Network Star
Source It’s not easy for my husband and I to find a television show we can both enjoy. It’s even harder to find common territory when it comes to reality TV (he’s more “let’s blow something up”, while I’m more “which guy will she pick?!”) But every summer we can both happily settle in […]
Healthy TV Viewing?
My unsolicited thoughts on why TV watching is healthy for adults: Enjoy a program together 
Watching a TV show is awesome for couples to do together. If your lives are in any way over-hectic, it can be a really good thing for us to have a dedicated time to plop ourselves down on the couch and […]
