Writing In My Diary
A few weeks ago I received a little white post-card in the mail. A post-card that smiled up at me as if we were long, lost friends.
If I had a little more energy, I’d go grab the card and snap a picture of it to share here on the blog.
Instead, it is buried on my kitchen counter among gobs and gobs of debris, papers and bills.
The little white card was from the fine folks at Nielsen informing me that the McFamily has been selected to participate in their television viewing ratings.
Oh sweet mercy, they have no idea they are about to unleash a monster.
A television viewing fool monster.
A few days ago, I received these in the mail.

These, my friend are the keys to the kingdom.
The TV Viewing Kingdom. And, I’VE got the power.
It is all a little more than I can handle. I carefully filled out the diaries earlier today taking note of the correct procedure for documenting my favorite shows. It could take me and my OCD half the night to get it all recorded correctly. Sadly, McDaddy will be absent most of the week which means that Extreme 4×4 and Bones won’t get their proverbial due because he’s not at home to watch his favorite shows. I’ll also be responsible for recording Stevie and Alex’s favorite shows which means I’ll have to document countless episodes of Tom and Jerry, Monster Jam and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for the next seven days.
So far I’ve recorded Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Wheel of Fortune, Grey’s Anatomy, and Private Practice. This is the first time I’ve watched Private Practice by the way. It’s a really good show!
I suspect I’ll be a busy girl this week.
I’d like to thank the fine folks at Nielsen for choosing my family. I’m not sure how we were chosen, but I can assure you, I will take this job seriously. Especially seeing as how I’m being compensated for my time and effort.

Yessir, folks.
Five of the crispest dollars you’ll ever see.
Seriously, I think they’re brand spankin’ new.
Don’t tell the fine folks at Nielsen, but I would have done this gig for free.
But since they saw fit to pay me, I’ll take my five bucks and spend it wisely.
Have a great weekend, y’all!









I’m glad to see that you will be including Private Practice in your diary! It’s a really great show and I hope it will hang around for a while.
