I’ll say it, I watch A LOT of TV. I am triple booked on shows on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I have to a) pare back on what I watch and b) make time to actually watch it.

It’s a constant annoyance, so, the last thing I should be doing is adding a new show to watch.

But I did.

In fact, over the holidays, I watched A LOT of TV on Netflix, instead of using the network hiatus for something productive like…reading.

And one show I watched en masse, at the urging of my brother, coworkers, friends and pretty much anyone else I talk to, was this one…

Holy.shit.

I won’t lie, I fell in to the hype from people around me and was a bit disappointed in seasons 1-mid-way season 3. It was fine and setting the foundation but was a tad boring in parts.

But once season 4 started, I was completely obsessed.

OBSESSED. My brother (who already has seen it) and I discussed and he even watched with me, watching my reactions.

Also, when someone says, “the box cutter episode,” I have flashbacks to a key scene in it, and my stomach still feels unsettled.

It was amazing.

Then I got back to Chicago and watched the first part of season five (illegally) online because I had to know what’ll happen next!

Sadly, the show isn’t back now until July, but I AM READY.

Also, the show has sworn me off ever doing meth. So, that’s a plus.

Are you a fan?

My favorite day of the week is Friday. Not only because it’s the weekend, but also because it’s TREAT FRIDAY.

I coined this phrase to describe my Friday mentality at work. Yes, I still get work done but it’s also about treating myself right. I’m adamant about packing my lunch Monday-Thursday so Friday is treat day. I buy lunch (and maybe dessert!!!) and just do nice stuff for me. Why? Because it’s TREAT FRIDAY! Woooooo!

Then, I watched Parks and Rec last week and saw Tom and Donna celebrate Treat Yo Self Day.

Here’s more information on this yearly holiday

Seriously, seeing this made my day. It’s like Treat Friday on crack. So Saturday, to try and boost my spirits, I had a mini Treat Yo Self day myself.

It included:

• Dior red lipstick. Treat yo self!
• Lobster roll and oysters with friends for dinner. Treat yo self!
• Pinkberry with mochi and strawberries. Treat yo self!

This won’t always happen but damnit, it’s time to embrace this. I plan to shout “Treat yo self” to people randomly now. Because I’m a big fan of this. Plus, Parks and Rec is just awesome. This and DJ Roomba seriously make me happy.

How are you going to Treat yo self this week?

I love television and after a summer of mid-season distractions and lots of reality TV, the fall season has officially started and I am SO EXCITED.

I blame the lack of Mad Men for my sometimes questionable summer TV choices, but fortunately, my DVR is back to working full time (no one lives at my house for free) and almost all of my favorite shows are back.

Here’s what I’m watching right now (and loving:)

• Modern Family
• Fringe
• Parks and Recreation
• Awkward
• Good Wife
• Ringer
• Rachel Zoe Project
• Glee (yes, this has been a slow start so far, but I’m optimistic)

Shows I’m on the fence about:

• Hart of Dixie
• Community
• The Office
• Gossip Girl
• Grey’s Anatomy
• Project Runway
• Millionaire Matchmaker

Shows I’m excited to come back:

• Top Chef Texas
• 30 Rock
• Cougar Town
• MAD MEN!

Also, as much as Bravo owns my soul, I’m burning out a bit on their programming. This weekend, I saw previews for the next round of shows and, honestly, SNORE. Next Top Artist? Fashion hunters? Boring. Okay, I won’t lie, I’ll watch the Fashion hunters one simply for fashion porn. But I own up to it.

What are you watching right now that you love?
