Happiness is Lubbock, Texas in my rearview mirror

Aggieland

I don't think it will really surprise anyone to know that the A&M game today caused me to make chocolate chip cookies so that I could self-medicate with cookie dough. Here's a little history lesson. The last time the Aggies won in Lubbock was 1993. I was at the game. As a student. I should have known after last week's game when Coach Fran said, "We may not win another game all Read More

It’s a veritable sea of television riches

T.V. Love

About a week ago, Gulley informed me she had purchased the new special issue of TV Guide featuring the scoop on all the new fall shows. Her exact words the next day were "I was up until midnight trying to power through the fall schedule". And I laughed. But that was before she loaned me her copy of TV Guide and I, too, had to power through it. This happens every fall. After the long Read More

At long last, football season is here

Aggieland

There's a Spirit---Texas A&M football If you're not an Aggie, you probably shouldn't bother watching this clip. If you are an Aggie, you'll probably end up watching this as many times as I have in the last 24 hours.

Here she is, not Miss America

T.V. Love

Summer television makes me sad. Back before I had a child I didn't really notice how bad summer T.V. can be. I mean, who cares about T.V.? Let's go to the movies, or out to dinner, or whatever. Oh, but now I find myself flipping through the channels hoping that Lifetime will air some quality, quality movie about a woman who was taken advantage of, but fought her way back to the top, and got Read More

DVR stands for Done Very wRong

T.V. Love

We've all had people in our lives who have hurt us, betrayed us, broken our hearts. Oh, they promise they won't do it again and then they do, which just makes us feel all the more foolish for trusting them in the first place. So, you can completely understand why I will never trust my DVR again.I half watched/half fast forwarded through 2 excruciating hours of filler material on American Idol Read More

I who have nothing

T.V. Love

I'm going to be totally honest with y'all. This is one of those posts that I debate whether I should post at all. Not because of any controversial content, but because of the lack of really any content at all. However, due to my OCD, I start to go into withdrawals if I don't post something. I apologize.1. One of the highlights of my week this week was when I saw NBC's fall schedule and Read More

Sweet 16 baby, sweet 16
