Previously On...Keeping Up With the Kardashians

There is one thing that my boyfriend really can't stand (okay, well maybe more than one) and that is the fact that I watch and enjoy Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I recently started watching the show on Netflix and then began to tune into E! to see current episodes. I think it is safe to say it falls under the heading of trashy T.V., but (like most trashy reality shows) it's super addicting.

Andy hates that I watch it because he seems to think I want to be like the Kardashians or live their lifestyle. Newsflash: I have no desire to be a Kardashian or have such a lifestyle. I watch the show because it's a release. It is mind-numbing and therefore fantastic to watch on a study break or late at night when you don't want to think about what's happening. You can just watch.

Despite the fact that I don't want their lifestyle, I find it fascinating because it is so far from my own. Anything that is different or I would go so far as to say polar opposite from the life and world you know is bound to make you curious. I think that is probably one of the reasons why I like the show so much. Their life is so far removed from my own that I want to observe how the other half lives like an anthropologist studying a foreign culture.

Don't worry, Andy. I promise not to wear fake eyelashes, too much mascara, or start saying "Bible" when I am telling the truth. I won't spend absurd amounts of money on clothes, cars, remote-controlled helicopters, or vacations. I am still me. I just like trashy T.V. Is that so wrong?

Pathetic.

So, here I am thinking I can start a blog and will be dedicated and dutiful. I thought I was going to post everyday or most days. It has been 4 days since my last post. Pathetic. You know, the sad thing is that I have thought about the blog and things/topics I'd like to write about but whenever I come up with those ideas I'm either changing a dirty diaper, dropping off to sleep, bouncing a fussy baby, or making dinner. Basically, nowhere near my computer. Then I say, "Okay, I'll just write a post once Alex (my son) is down, and I have a quiet moment." Unforunately, I have recently gotten caught up in the wonderful legal drama by the name of Suits! For anyone who hasn't seen it, my boyfriend described it as Psych crossed with a legal drama full of beautiful people. And I have to say that he is quite right. Anyways, thanks to my new found obession with Suits, my nights have been consumed with catching up to the new episodes airing on TV on Thursdays. As you can see, I have awesome reasons for not posting. But, despite all these awesome reasons, I really do want to try and do better, post more, write more. So I may not be quite up to the task of a post per day but I'd like to try and do at least every other day. Think I can? We'll have to see. You're lucky you're even getting this post. I took a break from watching one of the most thought-provoking, intriguing shows on TV: Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Ohhhhh boy. I crack myself up.
