I wish my life was like TV.

You often hear the saying that life imitates art. Too bad my life doesn't imitate some of my favorite TV shows or movies. I mean, my life does have some obvious similarities to some shows...Friends, Seinfeld, The Amazing Race, and Castle. I'm sure that you are intrigued, so that me explain the similarities.

Friends - You are probably thinking "WOW"...she must be a beautiful, skinny, single, thirty-something female, living in the city, dating many men, has great friends, and has an exciting job. Um...sort of. I'm a single, thirty-something female with great friends. Oh yeah, I also like coffee. Aren't the similarities amazing!

Seinfeld - Basically, this TV show was extremely funny even though it was about nothing. My blog is the same way! It is slightly amusing, and sometimes it too is about nothing.

The Amazing Race - Any one who has ever dieted can see the correlation between the show and dieting. Starting the race (losing the weight) hoping to make it to the finish line and win a million dollars (hoping to reach your goal weight and feel like a million dollars). Along the way coming across detours, roadblocks, and U-turns (desserts...need I say more) but still trying to reach the pit stop (mini goals) along the way. Too bad my dieting journey doesn't include a good looking host. Hum...this might be something to look into.

Castle - a show about a witty, crime author that works with the police to solve cases. He also uses the detectives he works with as inspiration for his stories. Again, I'm sure you are thinking, "I didn't know that she writes crime stories". Nope, I don't...but I do read them. No, I feel that my life is like the TV show Castle because I love to write (and read). Also, I too draw inspiration from those around me. I love reading and hearing about other people and their success stories.

OK, so maybe my life isn't just like a TV show, but isn't pilot season coming up in April? Maybe, I could create a show about a sweet, single, thirty-something woman that is blessed with a lot of family and friends. She loves to read and write, and she is constantly chasing her goal of losing weight. Once she reaches her goal, regardless of the roadblocks and detours, she wins a million dollars. I'll call it The Race to the Castle with Friends who talk about nothing but winning something Amazing. OK, so maybe incorporating all of my favorite shows in the title wasn't a good idea. Any ideas?
