Is There A Better Show on TV Than 24?

Ok...I have a confession to make. Don't bother calling me on Monday nights between 8 and 9 p.m. I'll be firmly planted in front of the TV watching Jack Bauer save the day on 24! I came in late as a fan (Season 3) but have been hooked since the first time I watched (and have since rented Seasons 1 and 2).

What constantly surprises me is that the show constantly surprises me! Each season I think "What more could they possibly come up with for Jack and the terrorists to do?", but the writers always throw in a twist that keeps me coming back for more! I happened to hear someone on the radio talking about 24 and they said that the writers are so good that they could take the plot line of "and now a bumblebee comes into the room and stings Jack", and make it exciting. I think I'd have to agree.

Ya gotta love it!

To Blog or Not To Blog?

My husband keeps telling me that I should start my own blog. I protested saying that blogs are just public diaries and I don't need the world knowing how goofy I am!

However, I did open this account because I wanted to read and comment on others' blogs (my two daughters', for instance) and I thought it might be a good way to keep in touch with friends.

If anybody out there is reading this, answer me this: What made you start a blog and why do you keep doing it? What kinds of blogs do you enjoy reading? Is a blog just a great big public diary where you share your thoughts with the world?

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. Though I must admit, I'm still nervous about this.
