Army Wives Season Premiere and an unexpected bonus!

Army Wives season four premiered tonight! I was flipping through channels last night and saw the countdown on Lifetime. Usually when the TV is on, we are watching preschool programming for the kids or one of three or four things R and I watch regularly, so I'm surprised that I even caught it. But I'm sure glad I did. It was a good episode, and it's nice not to have to buy the episodes from iTunes.

After the episode ended, a series called Drop Dead Diva came on. I had never heard of it, which isn't too surprising, but I found myself watching it and identifying with it. The premise is that a thin, beautiful model dies in an ironic run in with a grapefruit truck, finds herself in the processing area between heaven and...that other place...and in talking to the gatekeeper (which always makes me think of Ghostbusters) sees that the return button can be pushed with authorization (which she doesn't have) but she reaches over and pushes it anyway. This lands her back on earth, but with her memory in a lawyer named Jane's body. Jane is heavy, labeled a 'plain Jane' by the series intro, but is brilliant. The two episodes I got to see tonight were a touching balance between the thin life and the not so thin life. I am totally going to see if I can view other episodes of it from the Lifetime website tomorrow and if not, I'm going to buy some on iTunes or maybe see if I can rent them from the library. The new season starts in June, and I can't wait. If you get a chance, check it out. I'll address this more tomorrow in my diet diary entry. Happy sleeping and health eating everyone!
