OK… Doug and I are hooked. (Apparently, we’re not the only ones!)

This fall, we caught a repeat episode of Fox’s hit show “24″ and made a pact to watch all 4 seasons before season 5 began in January. With 24 hour-long episodes per season, we had some catching up to do! Well, we’re almost done! We have just 4 more episodes of season 4 left to watch, then we can watch season 5 like everyone else. I told my mom about the show, and now my parents are hooked on 24, too! The first 10 minutes of season 5 will get anyone hooked!! This show is a cliffhanger at each commercial break, so it’s wise to record it and then skip the commercials!

Molly and I went to our first swim class today at the Y. As my parents would tell it, I was very terrified of water as a child– getting water in my eye was not a good thing! Hey, Johnson & Johnson’s “No More Tears” shampoo was not available when I was little, so cut me some slack! Anyway, I expected Molly to inherit my fear of water, but thankfully she took to the pool like a duck in water! With the help of the instructor, Molly even went underwater and it didn’t bother her a bit. Whew! I’ll make sure to bring my camera to class and take pictures sometime soon…
