Things I initially got wrong.

Boy, Fox sure got it wrong with one of the best shows ever.

By this I mean I was annoyingly contrary for a little while, but after more contemplation, I am now annoyingly in favor!

Honestly, I don’t often admit I am wrong (ask my husband), but here I am, saying it out loud:

I WAS WRONG
about…

Twitter

iPad

cowboy boots

french door freezers — I want one!
(current state of my freezer…jam packed and an unorganized mess!)

What are things that you have initially disliked?

lots of “important” stuff to do today…

Any other Don Draper fangirl/boys out there?!?!

The scoop

Awards show season is my NFL playoffs…I love watching them and being horribly opinionated with family and friends. We had a great time watching with my parents last night. Tons of food, drink, and twittering! Thank god for iPads!

After reviewing the gowns this morning, I only came up with two that I liked enough for a “best dressed” list…
Here’s my best dressed:

I guess I have a thing for sleeves?

Who watched The Bachelor last night?

Um, yeah….me…. Is it wrong to already have a guilty pleasure for 2012 three days in?!?! Yikes, I need help.

My face was completely exhausted by the end of the night from all the crazy disgusted faces it was making…this show is CRAZY. What I find fascinating is how it takes itself so seriously, yet at the same time it is winks at the audience by exploiting complete crazyheads who are starved for media attention.

I need to get a grip and read a book. Damn.

Always love this episode of Fresh Air every year. This one is particularly good, including a moment when Terry laughs uncontrollably at an audio clip from Fear Factor. Priceless!

In my opinion, 2011 was a dismal year for feature films. Normally, I would try to post separately on movies and TV…but I can barely come up with any movies I liked enough to list!! So sad!

I have a lot of TV that I love, but I’ll only list a few…here are my favorite “watches” of 2011:

Drive Revenge (ABC)
