Oh my god...

... all my shows are ending. What I am going to do now, get a life? Because that has worked so well for me these past 6 months. I wrote in a previous blog about how the people in my television shows are my friends and now they are leaving me for the summer. Tonight Gilmore Girls had its finale and I found myself crying at the end. Were they tears because of what happened? Or tears because I have to go 4 months without the show? How pathetic do I sound? But when you have nothing but your computer and television to feel connections to other humans, and the shows you love end, whether it is temporary or permanent (as it may be with most shows on the WB), it is sad. Only 4 shows left, then they, too, will leave me by the end of the month, and I will be lonely again at night. Sorry, I need a moment to hug my television...

Whatever you do, do NOT get a life. Instead, get yourself your favorite shows and seasons on DVD. You can even download them from iTunes. So calm down and breathe, sister. No life needed.

You will find new ones to replace them for the summer.

Thanks jdoc, I was really worried I would have to get a life, you reassured me I don't.

Jdoc is right and along with getting your favorites on dvd, you can visit their websites, join some forums and discuss the shows! Thus, even less of a life needed.

Plus, if you're bored this spring/summer while your shows are taking a vacation...give me a call. I tell interesting stories or at least I tell stories. :)

Have you watch "What about Brian" at all? That is a good one. I am becoming addicted to that. Although it isn't on until 9pm here, which get's to be kind of late for me on a monday!

Stop everything right now and go get, along with an iPod, the DVD's for Sex and the City. You TV-watching-people might think that is so yesterday, or even so last year. BUT ALAS, the friends in there can be your friends forever. They've made a pact to me to be my friend forever and I would bet they would extend that vow to you as well. Oh how I love Carrie. And Samantha. Who needs a life when you can live their lives ... ooooo la la. (That's what my French teacher friend would say...)

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day

Target

I called my Mom to tell her that the parents are back and that I am responsibility-free in the evenings and weekends again. She didn't answer, but returned my phone call soon after. I told her my news, and she shared with me that she was about to head into the new Target. We are a family of Target-lovers, what's not to love? As she walked in, she said "it's huge." I tried talking to her, but could tell that she was distracted. She started to ask me something, "Did you... you should see the card section, it is like the one in Grand Forks." I, again, tried to change the subject back to what I was talking about. I finally let her go because she needed to finish shopping in there before returning home to watch Lost, throwing in "it has a Starbucks" before we said our goodbyes. A few minutes later my phone rings. It is my Mom again, she called to say "You should see all the food they have. They have a lot of organic food, organic oatmeal and or

What do I do?

All week I have made some attempt to tell the parents I am leaving. It started on Tuesday, all night I tried to tell them, but everytime I was about to bring it up, one of the parents would leave the room or the baby got hurt, etc. Wednesday, I made plans to go to the neighbors when the parents got home, but I made an attempt to tell them anyway, but S was glued to my side. I kept trying to distract her with food and television, but no go. I could have just said "I need to talk to you parents, go away", but I know her well enough to know that would have only peaked her interest and she would never go away. Last night, I was SO ready to tell them. The father asked me to watch the girls for 15 minutes while he weed-whacked the yard. I said sure, thinking the mother should be home any minute and then I could tell her when he is outside (I decided that if I can't tell them both at the same time, I will tell the mother alone). I waited and waited and waited. Not only was it 8
