Good Morning, San Francisco!

What's wrong with waking up every day, looking at the clock, and either turning on Nickelodeon or ABC Family, depending on the time? If it is 6:00-6:59am, I am turning on NIK because "Full House" is on. If it is 7:00-7:59am, I am turning on ABC Family because "Boy Meets World" is on. If it is 8:00am or after, I start realizing I am not twelve anymore and I flip to something like Good Morning America or The Today Show (honestly, in hopes of some tween actor/actress or Taylor Swift-like performance coming on in the next hour).

I also defend the following actions:  Getting dressed to go somewhere with "Full House" on in the background (it comes on again at 2:00pm and 2:30pm on ABC Family, for those of you who are unaware) and saying the words of the episode along with the characters. "Ice cream man! Ice cream man! Wait for me! I got money! Gimme back my money you pig!" "Alright a nickel! Alright a Cheeto!" "Baby Baloooooooga." I think it is okay to do this. It proves a very important thing to me. As I have chronologically aged, my memory has yet to fail me. If I can remember the script to many episodes of my childhood favorites from TGIF (that's right, I went there ... TGIF), I, obviously, am still sitting pretty in the land of what they claim is the first thing to go. Really, I watch "Full House" four times a day and "Boy Meets World" two times a day for reaffirmation. That's it. Entertainment shmentertainment. I just want to show myself that I am not on the Ellis Grey track to early onset Alzheimer's and that if anyone ever asked me in pop quiz fashion what Jesse and Becky's wedding song was, I could spit out "'Forever' and 'Jail House Rock' as a medley!" without hesitation.

I'll throw myself under the bus on this one ... Yes, I watched the "Hannah Montana Forever" one hour series finale. Yes, I cried during the montage of Hannah's/Miley's early years in her/their life of lies. Yes, I am going to miss the show and am sad that there will never be a new episode on Sunday night again. I did see Hannah's 3D concert at the movie theatre and I would do it again if it came back out. I'm not ashamed ... but I will still say "I took my brother" to make myself feel a little less like a teeny bopper and a little more like a selfless adult.

In summary, "The Baby Sitters Club" (BSC - in children blocks - for those who are really cool) is still a series I would pick up and read today. I am curious to know what Kristy's latest great idea is. "Saved By The Bell" will always be a conversation piece. And, yes, I care that Demi Lovato is in treatment for going psychotic after Joe Jonas dumped her. I'm comfortable with this ... And it makes me a viable chat partner for my ten and eleven year old buddies.

See you all at the NKOTBSB tour! What are the chances Jesse and the Rippers will open for them?
