Tonight while getting back to my elliptical routine, I searched through the channels of my tv for something interesting to watch while exercising. I settled on the show Army Wives. I watched the first season last year during Hubby's first deployment, and I was a loyal viewer despite my dashed hopes of it being a show that I could relate to. The second season, I noted this evening as I watched one of its episodes, did a much better job of actually capturing the essence of military wifedom. It did such a good job of hitting home for me that I had a first... crying and exercising at the same time! It was interesting because, last year I had so hoped for some inkling of connection with the show.. and now that I relate (too much) I found myself searching for something else.
What did I settle for? Why, The Hills, of course.
What do I have in common with The Hills? Nothing other than the fact that I, too, live in California.
Hmm. So, I guess it goes to show that though at one point I had hoped to be able to relate to Army Wives, in the end, who wants to spend an hour rehashing REAL LIFE when you can exist in the glamorous world and petty problems of The Hills?
Not me, that's for sure.
