Reality TV night

Since I've been in Charlotte, I've missed my weekly get togethers with the girls to watch Idol, So You Think You Can Dance or whatever other competition show happens to be airing that we can get into. Instead, Marshall has been vigilantly upholding my place. But, since I was home we were both able to partake in this weeks' get together at Susan's. Nattel, Susan's friend from the Bahamas was visiting so she was making us Bohemian mac and cheese and homemade pizza. Both were fantastic! I'm surprised Marshall left any mac and cheese for the rest of us, but he did let us have a little. It was a fun evening of good food, some okay dancing and a lot of laughs. I haven't seen hardly any of this season's So You Think You Can Dance, so I wasn't familiar with any of the contestants but I have to agree with Marshall - this year's dancers weren't as good as last season. Yes, my husband indulges his wife and not only lets me watch SYTYCD but will actually watch it with me from time to time. It and Idol are about the only reality shows I can convince him to watch with me although he did get sucked into Honey Boo Boo when I turned it on to show him the train wreck I watched in the hotel in Salisbury. He too found it so fascinated that they were real people that he just had to watch it. Marshall's favorite was the mom June. Say what you will about Honey Boo Boo and her crazy family, but that mom June obviously cares about her children and spends a great deal of time with them. They may be backwards in a lot of ways but they seem to be a family that actually does stuff together and cares about each other.
