I decided that I have a really addictive personality. I know that sounds ridiculous but ever since I got DirecTV at home I can't find a show that I like on TV without making sure I'm DVRing every single episode of it, and when I get home and have more than one episode to watch I will watch them all no matter how late I have to stay up. That's what happened to me the other day when I discovered Homeland which is a new show on Showtime this year. There have only been 12 episodes but it took me exactly 12 hours to get through all of them… I stayed up until four in the morning! It's not like I have a lot of vices and I'm not addicted when it comes to terrible things like alcohol or cigarettes so I guess this really isn't the worst thing in the world but it is kind of embarrassing to tell someone I can't control myself when I find a TV show that I really, really like.

Treating my bedroom as my sanctuary
Guest post written by Chelsea Winston
I've worried about making sure that all of my kids' bedrooms are perfect and exactly how they'd like them. Now I need to worry about my own bedroom. I've been putting off redecorating it for years, so now I have a pretty good idea of how exactly I want it to look.
I looked at some great design blogs to find some ideas about how to achieve some great looks and while I was doing that I ran across some info Here about kitchen remodeling. I've thought about refacing our kitchen cabinets for a while and I think that I'm going to do that over the next few months.
I found this amazing canopy bed online that I just couldn't wait to order! I'm so excited about it and I already ordered the matching curtains to go with the bedding for the new bed. Now I just have to pick out a paint color to paint the walls and an accent color for the crown molding. That and actually painting might be the toughest part of this room makeover.

New workout
Contribution by Stevie Kirby
I have to force myself to workout. I used to have a gym membership, but when I got pregnant with our first child I had terrible morning sickness and decided to freeze my membership indefinitely. Then when I had my baby, I found that I had no time to go to the gym so I cancelled my membership all together. I would really like to get back in shape, but on most days I find that it is hard to even take a shower, much less take an hour to go to the gym. A friend of mine suggested that I try to find a workout that I like on Fit TV. I gave it a try since we have satellite TV from direct.TVdirect.TV and found a workout that I really like. I usually put it on the DVR and end up working out during my baby’s nap time. I have not lost any weight yet, but I am finding that I have so much energy. I hope to have my pre-baby body back by the end of the year.

Burn Notice - Farewell Miami?
Written by my friend Marquis Finley
I have been extremely impressed with the quality of shows on the USA Network recently. One of my favorite shows is Burn Notice and the Season Finale left you with a lot to think about over the break. For those that don't follow the show, Burn Notice is one of the most entertaining television shows on cannonsatellite.com. It follows the character of Michael Weston who is a former "burned", CIA spy, who finds himself "stuck" in Miami. When you burn someone, you freeze their assets and cut off their connections. Michael finds himself "stuck" in Miami with his ex-girlfriend, Fiona, and former Navy buddy, Sam. I can think of worse places to be stuck in, but Michael's spent the last four seasons trying to track down the people who burned him, and free himself from their clutches.
In the finale, it appears that Michael has finally gotten his wish and has been reinstated as an agent. However, the dynamic between the three main characters is what has kept this show interesting over the years and it makes me wonder how this new wrinkle will affect that. If Michael has been reinstated as a full agent, how can he socialize with an ex-NRA member? He finally achieved his goal of clearing his name...so what's next?

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! I have to admit, Zales totally got me this year with their Mother's Day ad. Most holiday-themed jewelry ads are painfully cheesy, sexist, obnoxious, or all of the above, but this one was cute. I'm going to say that maybe it was a good choice of music that saved it, so here's the song from the ad:
