Hello dear readers! Do you remember me? Vaguely?
I've been suffering from a case of the flu, which led to a dire case of computer phobia. I think I am suffering from exhaustion, and not in the fun Lindsey Lohan, I have spent a week at the Château Marmont partying like it's the seventies and I am every member of Led Zeppelin way.
Nope, more in a "I am so excited for all these social and volunteer events I have going on, I just wish that I could lay on the couch and read a book" exhaustion.
So less sex, drugs and rock and roll, and more showers, opera and Junior League.
I am getting old.
Anyway, once fully recovered from the flu to move myself to couch from my bed, (while being nursed by a very attentive Buddy Bear, naturally), I caught up on some favorite sitcoms which led me to a few revelations.
Namely, I still want my marriage/family life to emulate the Cosby Show. When Hubs starts eating meatball subs at odd hours, and putting on jazz while wiggling his eyebrows in a suggestive manner, I'll know we are on the right track. If our future children put on shows for my parents involving lip syncing to Ray Charles. . .well, my life will pretty much be complete.
Rue McLanahan celebrated a birthday this week. I have always wanted to be Blanche, but I am suuucch a Rose. Sigh.
Finally, why they can't they reboot something good like Designing Women. I mean don't pull a Bev Hills New Sauce, but give me a show about Southern women, why don't you? Yes, I am in a fly-over state. I don't live in California or NYC, and occasionally would like to see something where I am! (Florida doesn't count). I think Mary Kay Andrews books would make a darling sitcom! Let's get on it please!
Speaking of opera and television, I was tickled to death to note on Monday that Blair was scheming to get on the opera board. . . now if I could just have her wardrobe.

How cute are you, seriously?! I've been under the weather myself too. Fighting a cough from hell that made me sound like a pack a day smoker. Ick.
ReplyDeleteI used to put on "shows" for my parents all.the.time as a kiddo--I can only hope my future children are just as shameless as me! Ha!
Welcome back! You were missed! Glad you're feeling better. I love catching reruns of The Golden Girls but I don't think I've seen an episode of The Cosby Show or Designing Women in years. Love the Cosbys and the Sugarbaker women! Growing Pains and Family Ties are a few of my other old favorites.
ReplyDeleteFeel better!! Love your dress in the pic. I can just see your cosby children singing and dancing. Man that was a good show!
ReplyDeletei've been wanting a mary kay andrews sitcom or movie for a while now. i'm with you, bring back designing women!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I would love a sitcom based on Mary Kay Andrews books!
ReplyDeleteThe Cosby Show remains my gold standard for family, TV or otherwise. :) As a kid, I believed Cliff and Clair were actually married--how could they NOT be? I've seen every episode of the Golden Girls at least twice, and loved loved loved Designing Women. No one tirades like Julia Sugarbaker!
ReplyDeleteI wish lifetime would bring back the reruns of designing women.
ReplyDeleteI miss the old girlie sitcoms. Golden Girls, Mary Tyler Moore, Laverne and Shirley, Designing Women....sigh!
ReplyDeleteThose were the good days!
