I'm Ready For The New Fall TV Season

Omg could television be any more boring this time of year? There is nothing on right now. All the new summer shows are over and there's nothing–and I mean nothing–to watch. I'm DYING while waiting for the Fall TV season to start. I miss my old shows and I'm waiting desperately for new stuff to start, too. All I have to say is thank God for Project Runway. Oh and Drop Dead Diva is great too.

Here's what I'm waiting on to return:

The Baby Shower

The baby shower for my daughter in law was yesterday, and it was awesome. Nearly everyone invited attended, so my living room was stuffed full of people. And thank God my daughter came home from college to help and brought her friend. They pitched in and did a ton of work and I couldn't have done it without them. (Thank you Ashley and Kari!).

Jamie (my daughter in law) received so many awesome gifts it took two cars to load them all up:
