Favorite TV Show: West Wing (we own all 7 seasons) and Grey's Anatomy

Another West Wing fan!!!! Best. Show. Ever. Don't you miss it? I often wonder how C.J. is doing at her new job and JOSH, man I miss Josh! I find small comforts though, like Mrs Landingham on Desperate Housewives and Toby was on Eli Stone and of course Rob Lowe on Brothers and Sisters. I was hoping he'd win that presidential race and he and Kitty would have a spin off show and bring the old gang back.

Biggest pet peeve: People that can't understand I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON

Oooooooooooooo....EXCELLENT one!

I should add this to my peeve list! No one gets it. It's very simple though...
NOT. A. MORNING. PERSON. I don't call you at midnight, do not call me before
11am! Do not plan/schedule things for before 11am (if you expect me to be there) Yes, I know 10am is not that early, but were YOU up until 3am??? I've tried, but still have never made a Magic Kingdom opening ceremony and I really really want to. Doesn't that tell you something?

Ooooo, wouldn't a Robert and Kitty spin off of B&S have been fun. The whole democrat republican thing would be a problem but would have been great.

I'm soooo joining the NOT A MORNING Person club!!!! Morning people just have no clue and are totally unwilling to understand that not every one can get up and be at work at 7 a.m. Even if I could get up and be dressed and out of the door I wouldn't be able to function. My brain doesn't even work until at least 10 a.m.

I hope it doesn't get me kicked out of the Club but I will confess that I have been to a rope drop at MK AND for EMH at that. It was so out of character for me that my Mom was speechless. I could only do it for the MK though.

[miss missy]

No one would ever call me.... Stupid...to my face

Nope, no!!! no way!!!!!!!!!!

But.......... we would call you a sis-ta he he (Cista)

---->Cistern<---- A cistern (Middle English cisterne, from Latin cisterna, from cista, box, from Greek kistê, basket) [1] is a receptacle for holding liquids, usually water or even, at times, the man you want to force to wed your daughter. Often cisterns are built to catch and store rainwater or the man you so desire to father your grandchildren.


oh and why is the word sarcastic coming up so much around hea'

Welcome to the club!
While i am not a morning person, i'm still up early everyday... but I don't reach a point where i want to communicate with people until 10 am.

I need at least 2-3 hours of coffee, silence and internet in the morning. There are reasons why people don't car pool. I'm one of them :>

Add me to the club!!

Then again i have been to rope drop at every park (and most days i am on vacation) cause i have a 5 hour time difference. That makes getting up a 7am a lot more managable if it feels like 12!

We are the same way, and we keep DH up late even though he IS a morning person. Friends know NOT TO CALL US on weekends before 10am. Don't wake up the kids and ruin our chances to sleep in. I've told them sorry if you are jealous that your kids woke you up at 5am, but don't think that gives you the right to wake us up on the Saturday. So glad I don't have any cheery morning children. I don't think I could take it!
