"Blogger's" Block!

I'm not sure how it happened, all I know is that It Has Happened!

Writers Block!  Or in this case, Blogger's Block!

I remember when I started this blog (almost nine months ago) I had no problem coming up with material to write about.  I guess when you're planning a wedding, remodeling a house and trying to rent out another house you have lots of great material!

With our Wedding Party!

And I love writing about my couponing successes, but let's face it, unless you're on the coupon train you probably don't care if deodorant is free after coupon or if a clearance deal make something that typically goes for $8 about $1.50!

So I've been sitting at my computer night after night trying to come up with something exciting to write about.  And I'm stuck!  Not that things aren't great, they are!! They've just really settled down.  Darrin and I have found our rhythm in this whole marriage thing, our floors haven't ripped in months, and our rental tenants are a dream!

But where does that leave you, my loyal followers ( all four of you!)?  I'll tell you where it leaves you - with a very frustrated blogging wife! 

So while I'm working on getting my grove back I thought I'd leave you with something entertaining...or at least entertaining for me!  AMERICAN IDOL!

Now if you've been reading this blog for a while you know that I am a huge Reality Television Junkie!  I can't get enough of it!  And I was SO excited for American Idol to start back.  The auditions, Hollywood week and Vegas results were awesome but I knew the live shows were going to ROCK this year!

The Top 25 didn't disappoint and I'm pretty sure I've narrowed down my two favorites already this year.  I mean, with performances like these how could they not win!

 Phillip Phillips is Amazing!

I am so happy Colton Dixon came back this season!

All that said and done I was little sad to see some of the guys go home on Thursday night.  My third favorite, Jazzy and Wacky Reed Grimm didn't make the cut this round but I would still pay to see him live!

So while I go off to ponder how to get my blogging mojo back I hope I've left you with some entertaining video clips!


Do you watch American Idol?  Any favorites so far?  
Have you ever had writter's block?  How did you move past it?

My Thoughts on Fall TV

First a little disclaimer...

THE PERSON WRITING THIS BLOG ADMITS SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE GREATEST TASTE IN TV.  SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT SHE OFTEN WATCHES SHOWS AIMED AT YOUNG ADULTS AND THEREFORE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT AGREE WITH HER TV SHOW SELECTION (INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY HER HUSBAND)!

...well, with that out of the way, let the festivities begin!  For sure a few shows that I was a fan of ended last year (most of which people probably agree should have ended).  And there are a few tried and true shows that even Darrin will watch with me, Criminal Minds and NCIS being two of them.  I'm also a pretty big fan of NCIS: Los Angles.  Glee is a probably the best thing on TV if you ask me and I could not be happier with the way this season started.  And, if it's on the CW, I will probably watch it - that means Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model, Vampire Diaries, OTH (when it comes back on), etc...

As far as new shows go, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about The Playboy Club...mainly because I remember being in high school and everyone wearing the Playboy Logo and I hated it!  I'm mildly pleased with the show but I think that's because it's a period show and I like things like that.

I feel like I'm in 7th grade again!

Moving on, I am totally loving Ringer.  It could be that Buffy is back on TV or the fact that they are doing a really great job keeping you guessing and just throwing out a little tidbit or two here and there. 

I must admit thought that my two new favorites are Revenge and Pan Am...which happened to be the two most talked about shows their year!  The casts for both of those shows are amazing and the storylines seem pretty well done.  I'm really looking forward to how they both play out! 

Great cast and great story line

Makes me wish I was a flight attendant in the 60's!

On a side note, I must admit the thing I dislike most about new fall tv is that there is a really good chance that my Thanksgiving a handful of the shows I've started watching will no longer be on the air...or, as with The Event last year, end the season on a cliffhanger and not get picked up for season 2!

Well we're spending the weekend at the beach for Darrin's late Bachelor Party (darn you Hurricane Irene!) so I'm sure the next post will be a little more entertaining!

Are you watching any of the new fall TV shows?  What TV show were you most looking forward to?
