Things I've done recently:
1. Redesigned the website again. It was no longer an accurate reflection of all I'm writing. It is now more generic, though I warn you it will likely change again as I contemplate hiring a designer.
2. Started a Newsletter. You can sign up for it here:

Or scroll down and look for it on the sidebar (or at the newly revamped website…).
3. Did anyone else watch the premiere of Life last night? I loooove that show! So happy to see it come back on again. I was ticked that they canceled Moonlight, but at least they kept Life — and Pushing Daisies. That's on tomorrow night.
Any shows you're looking forward to? Any website redesigns? Anything?

I love Home & Garden Television. I enjoy watching people try to figure out which house to buy on House Hunters. And International House Hunters, especially when they're in Europe, is a lot of fun too. I like Designing to Sell, love Candace Olsen's Divine Design, and enjoy Get It Sold and Buy Me. And the outdoor stuff is cool too, especially Landscaper's Challenge and Ground Breakers.
So I was totally, completely unprepared for what happened the other night. Hubby's flipping channels as I'm working on my laptop on the couch. He comes across something called Mobile Home Disaster — on Country Music Television, not HGTV.
I thought it was a joke at first. But it really wasn't — though it WAS funny.
I nearly wet myself I laughed so hard. Maybe I wasn't supposed to laugh, but dang, these people go around and remodel trailers. Now, I've lived in a trailer park in my life (as a kid) so I probably shouldn't be so uppity. But it wasn't the remodeling that killed me. That was actually done amazingly well and the trailer was gorgeous when they were done. Couldn't even tell it was a trailer on the inside.
No, what made me giggle myself senseless was the family. The man actually kept a knife, salt shaker, and shot glass in a bathroom drawer. When the host asked what the slice marks on the countertop were, the woman explained that her fiance cut his limes there. For his tequila shooters. In the JOHN. Am I the only one who finds that hysterical?
Hubby's talking about putting a cutting board in our bathroom now. I'm pretty sure he's joking…
Have you seen this show? Or seen a show equally as hilarious to you? Because I was so amused I'm going to DVR this baby now. Who knows what other gems I may learn (besides taking my alcoholic libations in the bathroom)…

Can you believe this is the last week of Idol? Tonight, the Davids face off. I already know which David I want to win. I've bought every last one of his Idol songs, and I love to listen to them. David Cook is the one for me. But, David Archuleta is likely to win because of the pre-teen/teen texting fan base who are in love with High School Musical and think he's tres cute. *sigh* So popularity and some talent will probably beat the mega-talent. Not that I'm all that worried for David Cook. He'll do fine, and I'll buy his first post-Idol CD when it comes out. I will not buy Archie's, however.
In other most rotten news, CBS canceled Moonlight. What the hell are they thinking??? Paranormal romance is one of the hottest genres going, and Moonlight was drawing respectable numbers, especially as the plot thickened. The first few episodes were cliche, true, but they seem to have found their stride now. And the writers' strike couldn't have helped. Viewers faded away in disgust. They'd have probably been back next season.
My favorite show, Life, will be back on NBC this fall. This is a cop drama I loved. The dialogue is good, and the guy who plays Charlie is fun to watch in action. This is a revenge/justice show with money, Zen sayings, and a lot of fruit. Great stuff.
My other show is ABC's Pushing Daisies. It'll be back too, thankfully. I don't know how far they can take this one, but I'm in it to see. Cracks me up every week.
In case you've been on, oh Mars or something, the last few months, here's one of David Cook's best live performances. He's amazing. Wait for the high note….
What shows are you looking forward to? Did they cancel any of your favs? What about Idol? Who do you want to win?
