This advice also applies to many HGTV, A&E and TLC shows that are dedicated to following first time home owners. Almost every single guest when they finish will say “My advice to people in the same situation would be you have to compromise it’s your first home after all.” Really? This is coming from the person who absolutely refused to move into a house that didn’t have two bathroom sinks or granite countertops. I’d just be happy with a corner to put fitness equipment and safe electricity and good plumbing in a first home. The rest I could work on myself. I guess it’s probably smart to prioritize what are the most important things to you. Then you can compromise on the rest.

I was recently watching the West Wing where Jed Bartlet also known as my favorite fictitious President of the United States ever was having problems with MS. His first lady wife was helping him do something basic like stand up I think and they were both really struggling with it. He said “This is why they make you take vows” I really love that statement.

I was recently writing about Kristin Chenoweth. I somehow forgot the name of one of my favorite shows that she was in. Yes, I understand that if it’s one of my favorites I should remember it which is why it was driving me crazy. I could think of the name of everything else including BCBG Max Azria, just not the one show I’ve thought of dozens of times.

All I could remember was that there was a pie store and a person named Ned. Simply googling “Ned pie” brought up the title “Pushing Daises”. Google is such a wonderful thing. What are the weird things that you associate with your favorite TV shows?
