Dear Ikea:
Thank you very much for our new gi-normous couch. The girls and I love it here. Thank you for bringing our family closer together. If you would like to see what I mean, please stop by any time…. I’m sure you have your own key, everyone else does

Love,
Andrea, Stella-Belle, and Phyllis-Navidad

As a proud member of generation X, I sometimes feel like I was practically raised with our family television, as if it was yet another sibling. When I get excited about a new fall season of my favourite and soon to be favourite TV shows I remember how much I loved TV as a kid and what a big deal it was to be the one to decide what we as a family would watch. I think the fact that we were all trapped in front of one TV (not like my family now, with easily half a dozen TVs in the house) made us pay that more attention to what was on and seemingly that much more important. From Mr. Belvedere to Different Strokes, to American Hero with a big pile of Saved by the Bell on the side, I loved all fo them and can probably still recite the words to most of their more exciting episodes. Anyway, I remember everything that I watched as a child but now I have that childlike sort of glee for fall programming.

Are you as excited about Grey’s Anatomy as I am? I am unable to watch the show without openly weeping and yet I look forward to it every week!
Have we decided that we like Desperate Housewives again? I think it’s a strong possibility.
I think we like Heroes, but I’ll keep you posted.
Studio 60 – I was fully surprised that I absolutely love it. It might just be a residual Chandler crush though! That is actually a strong possibility…
Is anyone else wondering when Scrubs starts up again? Aaaand, I know I should be excited about lost but I don’t think I am… too much suspense from last season still giving me gas 
But my absolute favourite: Gilmore Girls. I know that I’m the only one watching it but I’ll say it again, you’re all missing out! It’s incredible!

Sorry it’s been such a horribly long time. I think that the summer heat got to me – it was soooo warm but guess what?!?!?!

We have lows in the 60’s coming up soon and those of you in other parts of the country (or other countries – hello to the Carrs!) it’s beginning to feel a lot like… well, fall in Florida. I love the first moments where I notice a lack of humidity, a friendly breeze, but mostly that I don’t get turn into a puddle on the way from my car inside. Stores are newly filled with candy of every sort and orange icing covers countless cupcakes in bakeries as far as the eye can see!

I absolutely love the fall.

In celebration of what I like to refer to as the “pre-Christmas season” I adopted a fall wreath for our door…. And yes, in case you were wondering, before purchasing it I conducted and interview process to ensure that my new wreath won’t take it personally in a few weeks when it gets tossed into the garage to be replaced by multiple Christmas wreaths.

Stop by soon to meet it – you’ll love it!
