Reality TV - a double edged sword, the gift and the curse, my yin and my yang

Where have I been - is probably the best question for me right now! I have been away from my blog for almost 1 whole year - pitiful - I know. Why, you ask? Well...


  1. It isn't because I have truly been living up to my name "Workerbee" - no its not...yes I have been putting in 10 hour days and Saturdays here and there, trying to survive doing more with less in this shaky economy - but that's not it. No, its not.

  2. I can't say its because I've been travelling extensively over the last couple months - I mean I did go out of town about every month last fall - yeah, I did. But, you know with this darn technology every place I ventured to there was a computer or lap top available to me. However, I chose only to check my hotmail, my work email and peruse celebrity gossip sites here and there - I never thought so much as to blog - hmm mmm, no I didn't.

  3. Oh wait - been in my new condo for over a year now and perhaps its due to my obsessive compulsive need to HGTV my place - yeah, yeah - that was time consuming. It was....but no, I can't really say that was the reason either - as that kept me confined to a space in which was my usual blogging spot - "in my home". Hmmm... Okay...

Oh right, I got it - I have been in a reality TV trance. I have literally found a new reality show to watch each week over the past 6 months to a year. I'd put in my time at work and once I left my reality - I catapulted myself into someone else's reality (well, I come to find its not really that real, but whatever, its not scripted, OK maybe it is - but you know what I mean!). I am ridiculed more times than not when someone calls me and I tell them "I'll call you back, I gotta finish this episode of 'The Jersey Shore'" or while in the break room I'm asked to weigh in on how bitchy those "Gossip Girls" are, and I only can contribute to conversations about how bitchy those "For the Love of Ray J" girls are, or better yet those "Bridezilla" crazies!


Now there are some good ones out there, like TLC's "The Little Couple" which chronicles the lives of the cutest and most resilient couple who happen to be little people and another favorite also on TLC includes "What Not to Wear". What you wear definitely plays a part in your self image and giving you the courage to seek out your dreams: HINT HINT Power Suit. So... not all trash.


But just when I thought it was safe to ween myself off a couple reality shows I've grown accustomed to (I can't let it all go) I stumble across my newest find and inspiration to get back on the blogs. "Undercover Boss" that's right, just what I needed to bring me back! Looks like I've come full circle, what took me away from Power Suit - has since guided me back home...
