SO, what have i been doing lately?
i've:
avoided my children.
avoided household chores.
ignored my husband.
barely made any meals or grocery shopped.
you must be thinking (because i know you all care about my well being) what on earth could be so time consuming? sleep, reading, study? nope. it has to be the lamest excuse i've ever admitted out loud. it's dr. quinn. as in dr. quinn medicine woman. the most hilarious show ever created. i know it's not meant to be funny, but have you ever watched it? it truly is comical...
now on to some history.
one thing you must know (if you don't know already) is that i have a serious addictive personality. once i get my mind wrapped around something it forever sticks and is VERY hard to get rid of. so, when i stumbled across an old episode of dr. quinn while i was not so patiently waiting for the rest of the family to put on shoes to leave for rita's, i was sucked back into my addiction. when i was a teenager i was pretty lame. no really. i mean R.E.A.L.L.Y. lame. (yes, i know you're thinking i'm still lame... be quiet) i would go to sleep at 7pm on a friday night kind of lame and trinity and i were obsessed with dr. quinn. i would record old episodes and watch them until the tape was too thin to view anymore. if my family was out of the house i would plan my night around watching it. see, i told you i was lame. (yes, yes i know you already knew. be quiet) but then the show switched one of the characters with another girl all the while trying to pretend that she was the very same character and i lost interest. i even have an article glued to one of my old journals about that very same incident and how i was going to stop watching because, my goodness how can they treat there viewers like they are stupid? i mean, we know that that isn't the real colleen. geesh. (i'm not even making this up... believe me i wish i was).
my addiction was cured. yeah, not so much. it's been 5 days. 5 LONG DAYS for my family. i have been glued to youtube watching episodes here and there then getting a brilliant idea that i just need to watch it from the beginning (forget that there are six seasons with 12-17 shows each) while staying up until 2am because i just have to watch another one and you have a serious recipe for disaster. my poor, kind, usually understanding husband just looks at me with a new found patheticness (is that even a word? well, it is now.) i logically know that this is ridiculous. i mean come on, this has to stop. but then i come back from the shops and suddenly wonder "what is happening at colorado springs today?" LIKE IT'S A REAL PLACE! this is bad. and wrong. and i'm admitting through gritted teeth one thing i will only utter once in my entire life. here it goes....

dr. quinn to me, is twilight to you.
there, i said it. i will not mention it again. so, i'm admitting to my problem. i'm going to seek help. i swear. no, i will not watch another episode. even if i find it absolutely hilarious and laugh at really inappropriate times. like when sully gets beaten up and thrown in a ditch. that's funny, right? okay, maybe you really need to just watch it. wait, no! no one watch it. sigh. see my dilemma? i think a total abstinence will be the cure. hmmm, or maybe i should ween myself down. no, cold turkey. wait. maybe one episode a day? or wait, even better i can only watch it if i finished all my chores for the day. hmmm, i need to work on this. i'll let you know...
ha ha ha ha. just look at this picture. how can you NOT laugh?
****just for the record. after watching youtube, i find i'm not quite as crazy as some others out there. there are people who actually set up websites for this show. on their own! like not getting paid by the producers. and people actually make collages of different episodes mixed to music. no really, i'm not joking. there are forums and appeals to bring the show back and who is your favorite character? and why did the original colleen leave. all happening 10 years after the show. now, that is just crazy.*****
