The Week That Was!

With so many electronics at our disposal, it is very hard not to watch something or the other. Believe me or not I am the TV junkie. I am not sure if I listen to it all the time or not but I find it comfortable that it is in the background especially when I am cooking or folding laundry.

With DD off in college there is not much conversation going on in the house. DD2 does not think we are cool enough to have a conversation with :( I mean compared to a lot of teens her age, she is pretty easy going. But one thing we all have in common is watching shows on TV. So far we have successfully watched all 7 seasons of The Closer. Winter time it gives us something to do.

Now we are onto a new series.

This is a series that everybody should watch.
