I heart Oprah

Against the will and wish of my husband, I love Oprah. Well, the show… I have never met her in person. Though I have the day dream that we meet and she is somehow impressed with me and then she offers me a job that I can do from home or take my kids with me. Either that one or that I write a book that she loves and makes it one of her book club reads. Yes, I am a little embarrassed to admit that, but the truth must come out. It started in High School. I would come home from school, grab a little Debbie snack cake (that was supposed to be for our lunches) and turn to channel 4. I still turn to 4, but then realize I don’t live with my parents and we don’t have any little Debbie’s. It is the one hour of the day I claim for myself. Hey, it’s the simple things in life that keep you sane.


I honestly feel like I could make this blog about my Oprah show opinions, but she is quitting and I don’t want to lose my three followers. And yes to those Oprah fans I said quitting! Sure she is starting her own network call OWN and it has already been successful, but to me she is a quitter. She is leaving her loyal, financially struggling homemakers! Sure Oprah, I would follow you to OWN, but my free cable (all 12 channels) limits me from viewing your OWN network that is in some overpriced, expensive cable plan. The only reason we have cable is because our internet provider gave it to us for six months free. It’s not even good quality cable because the sound goes in and out. I think they are doing it on purpose to mess with us. It always goes out at critical moments. Also I think they are liberal because FOX news has no sound so we have been reading it in subtitles for about a month. The sound came on once for a commercial about CNN. Hmm… it’s fishy, but back to Ms. Winfrey. It is not that I align myself with her in every opinion because I don’t, but there is a reason I have to respect her and that is because she seems to want to improve and she has never been shy about expressing her faith in God. I just don’t see a lot of that on television or hear a lot about that from famous people. To me she has tried to do good things with her fame and wealth. Now I know she can’t be perfect, but she gives away amazing things just because they are her favorites so that is pretty close.

Next week is Oprah’s last week on poor cable so to honor her I want to tell you about my favorite things. It won’t be Christian Louboutin shoes, (Though if I had a pair I KNOW they would be my favorite) but these are my favorite most useful and affordable things. There will be no give away and I don’t think anyone will cry, but what I can’t give away you will be able to buy at a reasonable price. Stay tuned… Next post is Jillian’s favorite things and free cable won’t be one of them.
