Sometimes I select touching and poignant posts as the recipients of Perfect Post Award. Other times I choose posts that echo what I’m going through in life.
While you may stop reading this site based on the frivolity of who I’ve bestowed this month’s Perfect Post award to hear me out before you judge!
This month I’m awarding Kelly from The Gossip Girl Report with the August Perfect Post award. Her post titled “Top 10 Reasons that I’m Excited about Gossip Girl Season Two: #1” echoes exactly how I’m feeling about the start of season 2.
Sometime last fall I started watching Gossip Girl. The buzz about the new show was crazy as it was hailed as the next great thing. Curious, I Tivo’d it one night and have been hooked ever since. Gossip Girl is my crack. I can’t seem to get enough of it. I go through withdrawal between episodes. Summer has been like rehab except that now the addiction returns.
Gossip Girl is back tonight and I’m ridiculously excited about the second season. I’m so giddy with excitement that I even marked the date in my calendar. In pen!
I could care less that I’m not in their target demographic, that the fashions wouldn’t fit my pinky finger, and my high school experience was the polar opposite of what Blair, Serena, Nate, and Chuck are going through. I like hearing music from new artists that I might not hear otherwise as I drive around in my mommy mobile listening to my kids’ tunes du jour. And I love that I can dish about the characters with my teenage babysitters just as I would if I were back in high school.
So yes, I am guilty of using the show as an hour-long escape from my work and mommy world. Is that so horrible?
Gotta run! The long awaited season premiere is on!
Thanks Kelly for summing up my exact feelings about Gossip Girl. It’s great to know another 30-something-mom out there likes GG as much as I do!
And yes, I’ll be watching the new 90210 tomorrow! Don’t you judge me!

This is such a great blog! Got here from the Perfect Post Awards…can’t wait to start reading it regularly.
I feel so out of touch – I have no idea what this show is but now I’m gonna have to find out . . .
Hey, thanks so much for choosing Gossip Girl Report for your Perfect Post Award!
I totally think that moms need a little escapism… After a hard day running around with reality (ok, with kids, maybe it’s surreality), I think we deserve it.
