1. I've lost count how long we have been without cable but as the months go by, I miss it less and less. I watch one TV show each week, (when it's on, and the series is ending so what am I going to do now!?). I've also watched the last two seasons of Bachelor and am ashamed I am currently watching this season as well. I NEVER wanted to get sucked into this show because it just seems silly to me-you can't meet your wife/husband on a show like this. I know there have been a few success stories but they are rare and the episodes are so staged it drives me crazy. Two seasons ago, I watched one episode and couldn't stop watching, not because of the bachelor, but one of the lady friends who was vying for his attention caught my eye. I loved her strong personality and humor and of course she ended up being the next Bachelorette so I was "forced" in to watch her season too. I'm being loyal to Iowa and watching the current season, but I'm already ready to be done. The bachelor seems awkward on the episodes, the girls are embarrassing, and the bachelor keeps giving a rose to the crazy lady! Unfortunately, without cable or DVR, I have to watch live TV, which means my entire family is watching the Bachelor with me this season. AJ saddles right up to the TV because a little screen time is rare in our house and she will take advantage of it, even if it isn't something she wants to watch. Thankfully, the kids are in bed after the first hour, leaving me alone to watch the rest by myself. I'm so embarrassed that I am another victim to this reality show.
2. I do a lot of driving throughout the month and my trip down to Southern Iowa can get pretty long, especially because I leave the house at 5:30 AM now and need something to help keep me awake. I've been an off and on fan of Taylor Swift and remember when she released her first single, "Tim McGraw." I'm sure nobody expected her to be as big as she is now. I love her newest song on the radio, "Blank Space," and lately found myself checking all the radio stations to see if they were playing it when I was in the car. Last week, I decided to just go and buy her album.
Now I can listen to this song whenever I want and the rest of her album is quite good also-enough so that I didn't want to dose off this week during my drive. She really seems to have a good head on her shoulders despite the amount of money she is raking in. She's a great role model for teens and it's impressive that she writes all of her music. I hope she decides to do another country album as I think her song writing is much better in that style of music. We were born in the same decade so I don't feel so old buying her CD, right?.
3. Sometimes after a crazy, long day at work, I will run to the store quick before heading home to get a few things. By this time, I am so exhausted and often starving as I routinely see patients through lunch and may not realize until 2:00 that I didn't eat. There have been a few instances where I will grab a Kit-Kat or pack of peanut M and M's while standing in the check out line, and enjoy them in my car before I go home. Definitely a guilty pleasure and I often regret this indulgence the next day!
