Reality is still soooo overrated


Today I'm just so sick of real life! Everyone at work was annoying. The weather sucks (chilly and rainy). The Cubs are off. The Republicans are dominating the airwaves, and they annoy me, too. What I need tonight is an escape from reality, a safe and familiar place to retreat to, while I curl up in a ball on the couch. What I need is …

That Girl!

The Season Four DVD set just arrived and the timing ideal. I am having a silly, tranquil time, watching Ann Marie's wacky career-girl adventures, whimsical and sweet relationship with Donald, and impossibly expansive wardrobe. I loved this show when I was in grade school, and it's wonderful to get reacquainted with it.

  2. I didn't know Brewster was a real town! How cool! I would have thought the same thing if I passed it.

  3. I loved that show! In fact, I had a relationship with a guy named Donald and called him "Hollinger" and he called me "Ann Marie" (yeah, goofy, I know). We still talk sometimes and still go by those names.

    Great show. Didn't we all want to be like Marlo Thomas?
