Good lord. We must have been related in a past life! Shows and foods are about the same. I'd add Burn Notice instead of Law and Order: CI. Have you seen it?

Later..........p

Anna said...

Thanks for doing this, Great read!! and as I read the foods I paused and drooled a bit at the thought of "Krispy Kreme" which ours just closed down for good..they just don't seem to do well outside of the South.

Maggie said...

P- nope, haven't watched Burn Notice yet, but I saw it advertise. I think it's one USA network and that's one I hardly ever watch so I never remember it!

We're soul sisters! LOL!

Ty-Anna- thanks!

And Our Krispy Kreme closed as well. I about died... We can get them at a kroger store but of course they're not hot anymore :(

Alaska is beautiful. You would love it. Love your post! xo

Shan said...

I meant to tell you the other day that my husband and I totally think we were meant to be British! Ha! I have "all things British" on my profile description. heehee samesame

major difference: I'm totally conservative! :)

Maggie said...

Beth- thanks! And someday I hope to go to Alaska... someday!

Shan- I read lots of your blog and actually wondered if you were a Brit expat! LOL! (Did you see my post where I waxed poetic about my wanting to be British??? I hope I didn't offend too many Brits! LOL)

While I can be a real political creature, I usually try and avoid most political debates here as to not offend nor alienate readers. This is a place to have fun and be silly and drink virtual Cosmos and buy virtual shoes... and be silly- did I mention being silly? I love all things political but it's a good way to piss off people. Some other than my Grandmother Shrew always said to never discuss religion and politics at the dinner table... LOL!

Bragger said...

Sometimes I hate them, sometimes I don't. Tonight I don't hate them, but I'm too tired from bike riding. Remind me and I'll come back to it later. Instead, I'm shamelessly stealing the format from one of your blogs for mine tonight. You're welcome!

Shan said...

Maggie I thought the same thing about you (British expat) when I was reading yours. HA HA HA!!! It's rubbing off on us. We're slowly morphing and don't realize it...entirely. ;)

I'm actually pretty untravelled. I hope to change that one day but for some reason I implode with nerves at the mere thought of a far away trip. :}

Maggie said...

Bragger- I'll be sure to pop over and check it out- and I'll give you a reminder when you're back home! ;) And steal away- isn't the teacher golden rule- "don't recreate the wheel"?

Shan- OMG- you thought I was an expat! *doing the happy dance* Okay, I have to admit that is very cool! But I'm just a bloody American!

And if the imploding can be kept under control (The FAA would be totally pissed if you implode on a plane- do you know what that would do the Homeland security that day? We'd be on level orange!) since imploders are so not allowed on airplanes, you must must must go to Europe- oh hell, we should go together! :) Dublin and Milan, my big European travel destinations, were amazing. I can't wait to add more stamps to the passport- SOMEDAY!
