TV is cooler than real life

Studio 60 Preview looks awesome! Slide over, Grey’s Anatomy. You’ve got some competition headin’ your way. Too bad there are four decent things on Thursdays at 9pm. Can’t The Powers That Be spread out the good shows a little? Sheesh.\
The CW video montage looks like a big pile of teen cheese. (And can you believe they renewed 7th Heaven? What was with the big finale commercials I saw for a month?) Those 7th Heaven clips really don’t belong in there. But neither does Veronica Mars, which is actually a great show, nor Supernatural, which is just the right kind of awesome cheese (unlike One Tree Hill and Smallville). Honestly though, I think The CW will be the network I watch the most. Good thing I am not lactose intolerant! Hee. (I bet Kevin regrets ever deciding to work late those many years ago, which is when I discovered Dawson’s Creek on The WB.)\
Seeing The CW come together has been kind of interesting. I wonder how things will shake out this next year.

I’m 31 going on 2!

I told Kevin “no” the other day, for what I think was the first time ever since we’ve been married. Turns out, he misstated some of the info, so my no was moot. I am really close to telling him no about something else and just now I told him no again. None of these issues or questions are really important, but it is interesting that they are all happening in the same week. I think I may be drunk on the power. Mwuhahaha!

Mother’s Day

I had the best Mother’s Day ever yesterday. Kevin got up with the kids, without any begging, prompting, or hinting from me. When I finally woke up, at the glorious hour of 9:30, he made me a plate of strawberries and cool whip to snack on while he whipped up a fabulous mushroom and cheese omelet. Then I opened presents and goofed off pleasantly with the boys. My in-laws gave me flowers and a scented candle. Isn’t that nice? It was such a nice morning, makes me actually look forward to next year’s. Big thanks to Kevin, Max, Brian, and the Lawvers.

Bloggin’

Now that the TV-season is over, whatever will we chat about? And no, don’t say baseball.\
In super happy news, Kevin came home at a decent time last night. Whooo. It’s like crazy-time is over! YAY!\
In other, almost desperate news, there is only one Diet Dr Pepper in the house! Eeeep.

Working late again

Kevin just told me that he will be working extra late tonight. Poor Kev. Which means I have to face the uber-scary Aaron Echolls on tonight’s Veronica Mars finale all by myself. Eeeep. My second thought was, “rib leftovers for me!” Yay!\
ETA- I actually just had some chicken instead of the ribs. I am the best wife ever! Hee.

Weekend Update

Max had another soccer game on Saturday. He has so much fun there, I have to recommend it to all parents of young children. It is so much more interactive and physically demanding than tee-ball or little league. (It’s practically non-stop running for an hour, instead of standing around waiting to bat or for someone to hit the ball your way.) It’s kind of hard to watch though, because he tends to stop paying attention. Which is fine since he is only 6, except I want him to pay attention and get better. But I don’t want to be one of those overzealous parents you hear so much about. In practice all of the boys seem to be getting better at the basic skills, but come game time, they just kind of do a “Lord of the Dance” imitation when they get near the ball. If the teams kept score, you’d note that they are relatively high-scoring though because 1) we don’t use goalies and 2) once a kid makes a good kick, he can usually follow it through to the goal because there is almost no defense on the field.\
Yesterday was the first day in nearly a week that I didn’t have a horrible headache plaguing me all day. Also, Kevin only worked 11 hours. Coincidence? I think not.\
Tonight is the series finale of 7th Heaven. Sniff. Let’s all take a moment to reflect on this horribly written and horribly acted show. The fans will miss the many non-interesting story lines filled with hypocrisy, manipulation, backstabbing, and outright lying. I guess they’ll just have to pay more attention to the Bush Administration to get their fill from now on.\
In Brian news, he has been wearing only one sandal for almost 2 hours. I don’t know why.\
Kevin told me he gets teased by coworkers about my numerous Veronica Mars posts. Hmm, I guess this means I shouldn’t post my thoughts on under-wire bras.

He is crazy smart and I am just plain crazy

My head just exploded and I died, so I am posting this from the beyond. While the baby was playing with his cars on the floor, I was chatting online with a friend about the awesomeness that is Dick Casablancas. (He is a character from Veronica Mars, and if you didn’t already know that, shame on you.) And here is the head exploding part: while I was wasting time before dinner being completely trivial, my 6 year old son was figuring out the atomic mass for barium chloride. Thud. (That is me falling over after my head exploded.)
