Whenever I create a post, I have a fear that what I am writing is super corny.  As a new writer, I want to please and inspire – to make you feel happy and enriched!  But sometimes life calls for a good brain freeze.  For me, that is watching the TLC channel!  It makes me drunk and eases my fears.  It puts my mind in an altered state of mush.  Warning – it can get addicting!

Let us start with Say Yes to the Dress.  This show is the king of TLC!  I watch it no matter how many times I have seen the episode. I am intrigued by the different personalities and enamored by the beautiful dresses.  Beading, lace, ruffles, feathers, chiffon, organza, and bling everywhere!  I love comparing wedding gowns and gasping at the price tags.  But my biggest buzz comes from Randy Fenoli!  I ADORE that man!  Randy is kind, sweet, accepting, spiffy, and down-to-earth.  I dream about bumping into Randy.  He says to me , “Hi, beautiful!”  And I blush like a chilled rosé wine.  I am that easy!

Next are the Hoarders and the 600 Pounders.  There is nothing that screams  to me, “You are not that bad!” than an episode of these poor souls.  Oh my gosh, am I going to say that?    I am, because it is true.  I feel skinny and organized when I watch these shows.  They make me feel fine – three pomegranate martinis fine!

Finally, there are all the rest.  The mediums, the polygamist, the little people, the Amish, the gypsies, and the honey boo boos.  I find them all fascinating!  I am SO ordinary, that it is almost sad.  These people are extraordinary!  They have a story to tell.  I am usually watching with my mouth wide open, especially when it comes to sharing a husband.  I love a good mind-blowing!  If I cannot have pina coladas or get caught in the rain, I want a TLC escape.

So, my apologies if some of my pearls are cheap or corny.  But a good binge on TLC may make you tipsy – without the hangover!
