Soaps

I'm watching Ugly Betty, and I'm chagrined that it's a glorified soap opera! I choose to call it a Tela Novela, though, then it's ok. I hate soap operas, so I can't watch those, but a little Spanish Novela, that's ok. I've always hated soaps, they give the most unrealistic slice of life, and there are so many people that try to emulate them after watching Days of Our Lives all week long.

When I was pregnant with Nic, my cousin went to work part-time, and I watched her child. She was hooked on a soap, the old Luke and Laura one. She had to work during that hour, and made me promise to watch it and keep her up to date. Well, I loved her, and I reluctantly agreed... then I got hooked on the darn thing! Even after I stopped babysitting, I kept watching the stupid thing, at least til they finally got married. YUK! what was I thinking???? Never again have I demeaned myself by changing my standards, so I certainly won't do it now. Thank goodness for Tela Novelas!!!
