simply hard to keep up

oops, again. but, at  least this time it was only a month. so the fall television season is upon us, and i am happy once again. i love spending time with my tv shows. football is also back, and since i am currently watching the giants play the phillys, i'm keeping this post short. i'll be back tomorrow with more.

simply coming back to something

every fall people come back to something: work, school, something. me, i come back to watching tv. as much as i love watching television, i don't really watch it in the summer. the longer daylight hours make me want to be outside, doing, interacting with the world. i do less of that now with kids, but even so i can't bring myself to watch much television in the summer. of course, this summer there were the olympics. the olympics are the one thing that will have me turn on television and just watch. i dvr'd the opening ceremonies, mostly because i knew that i wouldn't be able to turn the television on until 9 or 9:30--this is the main reason a dvr is mandatory in our home. we'd never watch any 8 o'clock shows if we didn't have one. anyway, so i dvr'd the trippy opening ceremonies and watched every minute except the weird bob costas interviews and awkward meredith viera and matt lauer banter. oh and the ryan seacrest social media updates--what the heck w

seriously romantic: her best worst mistake by sarah mayberry

her best worst mistake by sarah mayberry was a surprise. now, i've read almost all of mayberry's harlequin blaze and superromance novels, and it wasn't a surprise that it was good. mayberry has been on my must buy list for a while. what surprised me about this book was that it was self-published. i'm not sure why harlequin chose not to publish it, especially since they published the companion story to this one in september 2010 and it seems to fit in with their brand perfectly. i imagine it fell between the nuances of the number of books she was contracted to do and the amount of time between sequels. to be fair i have seen sequels in literary fiction and non-fiction published with much larger publication gaps, and if the amount of time was indeed the reason harlequin didn't publish this then i think that says something non-complimentary of readers of romance. but i'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole! in any case, i didn't love hot island nights

simply hi!

so it's been a while. i had two babies. i got busy. but i seem to have a little more time on my hands these days, so i am going to try and start back up. i've been doing some reading. and some tv watching. it will be interesting to see if i pick up more shows as the fall tv season begins. but the point is i'm going to try to keep updating.
