This and That

I feel the need to just write a random entry about a few things-answer some comments, etc.

First I must answer Renay's comment about fall television. As you all know Renay and I were big Idol fanatics and I feel since it does not come back on until January (pause for frowning) and you all will just miss my commentary sooooo much, I have to maybe pick something else to write about. I must also say that in the AI offseason, my boy Ryan was bitten by a shark.

I must say, I am ridiculously obsessed with my television (probably due to the lack of a boyfriend-I should probably work on that). I love September. The whole month is like a big holiday. September brings about three major events (all having to do with television-how pathetically sad am I, but I'll keep writing):

1) The kickoff of football season. Of course last season, being a NY Giants fan-I don't know if anything can top that so as I go in awfully excited I don't know if anything can possibly be as amazing as defeating the undefeated Pats. (And you all know my fondness for New England sports teams).

2) Baseball begins to get exciting. Of course it is only exciting for me if two things happen a) the Yankees actually make the post season this year or if they don't, b) hope the Red Sox fall into the black hole of oblivion. And finally...

3) The beginning of fall television. (I actually think I just heard the Heavens open). I for one watch way too many shows. My friend Kim and I each try to pick a new show for the season. What is not coming back is Shark or Cane. So here is my line up if I remember: House, Ugly Betty, Dirty Sexy Money, Desperate Housewives, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, Gossip Girl and Grey's. I think my favorite is Grey's because I totally heart Patrick Dempsey. Although Gossip Girl runs a tight second. (Hey what do you expect form a girl who has not had 90210 since college)? In fact I was so jealous last week when GG was filming right outside my father's office in the City. My sister totally dropped the ball by not going out to take pictures or at least giving me updates on the fashions. Then again Dr. House is quite entertaining, although after watching each episode I believe that I will die. In fact last season when a girl died from a staff infection due to her bra strap cutting her I was suddenly petrified of all back closure bras. So we will see what the fall brings---many nights of my sorry butt on the couch that's for sure.

In other news, the dude had his 2 1/2 year old well visit. He is 27 pounds even. His height-I never go by her measurements so we'll see what Dr. Angulo says next week. He takes like four measurements on paper with two others helping him, so we will see what the official report brings. His doctor was impressed with his personality-Preston has a sense of humor and jokes around that she believes is advanced for his age. (My smart dude-see what happens when I got to raise him on his own?)

I also received his orientation/welcome package from the String Bean teachers. It said "Your child is now in preschool." I welled up with tears at that point. He is in preschool. WOW! Time surely is flying.
