Finale

It is that time of year again! When the shows that we have addicitively been watching for 9 months come to an end. I hate this time of year! I hate not having anything to watch on TV. I hate going to Movie Gallery and trying to pick through the movies that you have seen to find SOMETHING to watch. I guess it is a bonus that we haven't rented any movies in a month.

This time of year is also hard because you have to say good-bye. Leaving behind shows like Will & Grace, 7th Heaven, That 70's Show and The West Wing. Losing wonderful and touching characters like Denny Duquette , Libby and Michael Gallant. I look forward to sitting on the edge of your seat while trying to figure out what they are going to do next on Prison Break, 24 and Housewives. There is the excitement of crowning the next American Idol, Survivor or Apprentice. Then there are the questions: Why is everyone on Srubs pregnant? Why did Meredith have sex with McDreamy? Is Izzy really going to quit the program? How far can the prison break fugitives run? The list goes on and on. So I guess I will have to suffer through made for TV movies, repeats and Hell's Kitchen until that glorious week in September. A time when we will be reunited with those we love.... until then dear primetime TV...until then.

A Sign of the Times

As many of you are aware my hubby works for Wal-Mart. I think that I have also made it publicly known that I am really itching to buy a house. Well a sign of hope popped up on my drive to work yesterday. There is a sign in front of the old Monona K-Mart that reads, "Future home of Wal-Mart Supercenter" with a sign next to it for the construction company. I have been waiting for some sign that yes there was going to be a Wal-Mart there. The reason? If Josh transfers to that Wal-Mart we can both live 15 minutes from work. That is a luxury neither one of us has shared, EVER! We have been living in limbo the past few years waiting for a place to settle and if Josh can get a position in any of the new Wal-Marts in the Madison area we can finally begin our lives together.
