A Sense of Loss

It's funny to me how at the end of television show seasons, you can feel a true sense of loss for the characters, plotlines you've grown accustomed to each week, and the buzz around the office about new episodes. When summer hits, all of that goes away and I, for one, am left 'jonesing' for the next season, (though not necessarily for Fall just yet). That comes later, after August brings H-E-L-L in the form of too-hot-to-breathe weather. ;P

This past week, my husband and I have already said farewell to House, 90210, and Fringe...for now. I can already see us this Fall, on the edges of our seats, waiting to see what happens between House and Cuddy, whether or not Naomi was assaulted, and what the heck Olivia is going to do in the alternate reality. We also said a permanent farewell (or rather, for the first example, I did) to Ghost Whisperer and Lost, two shows that ended their reign forever. Ghost Whisperer ended well enough, albeit pretty abruptly and anticlimactically, but Lost was just.... what? I have no idea how it ended, or what it even meant, but it's over I guess. It was just super random. I'm not sure my husband was at ALL satisfied. He paced up and down for several minutes right after it went off, huffing and puffing that it just wasn't good enough. Ha!

This week brings the promise of new things in the world of TV, however! So You Think You Can Dance premieres on Thursday, (excitement!!!), The Bachelorette returns tonight (I'm not sure I'll get into it, but I plan to try!), and we are juuuust around the corner from the premiere of True Blood in June. It is clear in this post that television-watching is a huge thing for us. It's something we bond over, and while it may not seem active and productive (because it's NOT), it is still something we enjoy together. I think this is a good thing, as many married couples have very few things they enjoy together...and it's not our ONLY past-time after all. I just genuinely look forward to our evenings together to veg out, hang with our dog, and spend quality time just the two of us while it is still just the two of us. Not that this status is changing soon...but it's good to know this time period will go down in history as "OUR TIME."

Speaking of June...

Some big things happen in June. Well, okay, two things. The first is our FIRST ANNIVERSARY! I can hardly believe it's been an entire year since our wedding day; TWO YEARS since he proposed. Where did time go!? It's crazy! I will devote a special blog post to my husband and our first year together on the day/weekend of, but for now, I just want to shout from the (blog tops?):

I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!!

He is so good, so kind, so attentive to my needs. He makes me feel AMAZING. Just sayin'. :)

The second big event in June is my birthday! Now, I don't normally care much for birthdays...usually that day is just like any other for me, and in the past I've had some serious disappointments on June 27th, but this year I think the day will be much different. I don't know why. It may have to do with the fact that everything is made richer when you're content with life, and I guess I finally do feel that way in all aspects of life. I feel like nothing bad could possibly go wrong on days that should be good. Watch me be totally disappointed.

I think you should know that this unbelievably pointless post was just put on hold for one hour. I last auto-saved at 3:15; it's now 4:19. I just ran around like a chicken with my head cut off. WHEW! Hello, Monday! You should also know that my ramblings above were going to be just that, but that I was THEN going to get into the events from this weekend....it was a doozy. Sadly, due to the aforementioned running around, I have to save that story for another time.
