Confession
So here's the deal:
Last week, we were at Pacific Place and the bookstore there had clearly ordered a ton of "The Golden Girls" seasons to capitalize on nostalgia related to Bea Arthur's death, and everyone that was going to buy them had bought them, leaving the store with some left overs which they then marked down to $18.99 a set.
I was soooooooo tempted but didn't cause I was broke and was sad about that.
Target today had the same sets, clearly for the same reason, and they were double marked down to $8.99 a SET.
I HAD to buy them.
And yes, I was ashamed that I wanted them but seriously $9 bucks a SEASON?
And I love them?
And... let's face it: I am that gay.
It's all tied up with my memories of Miami, and of convalescing trapped in bed after knee surgeries and watching them on Lifetime 'cause I was too high on pain meds to read. It's one of only three shows in history to have all four leads get Emmy awards for their performances, and it's a laugh riot. BE TOLD! ("All in the Family" and "Will & Grace" are the other two!)
So there I was but I was SO ashamed! So I told the smirking check-out guy, a little faux-hawked twinkie Gayby that they were for my mother's birthday with Tony smirking at me, and giggling because he COULD have totally given me away and he knew I knew it.
It's not cool, it's not right, but I am STOKED to have them!
Seven YEARS of the Golden Girls!
It's like a slice of heaven!
"SHADY PINES, MA!"

"You've Got Mail" and "Must Love Dogs" are closing in on them, though, with a late surge by "Under The Tuscan Sun".
RomComs, I am for you!
