Obsessions, and things that are whatever the opposite of "Obsessions" is.

Obsessions:
1. Red Swedish Fish. It's been this way since high school and I can't seem to get over it.
2. Mad Men. It's on AMC on Sunday evenings and I am riveted by it. If you aren't currently a fan, it may take you a few episodes to get totally into it because there are a lot of characters and stories. You'll find it's worth it, and I am so happy to fill the hole that was left by the flushing toilet known as Grey's Anatomy (the whole last season was a giant letdown and if serious improvements aren't made there will be ramifications.).
3. Finding a pair of perfect white jeans. It sounds crazy, but I think it's a look I could totally carry off if I could find just the right pair. It's almost autumn, so time may have run out here.
4. My neighbor Gloria's Chicken Enchiladas. Seriously the most delicious things ever. I could eat them once a week and never grow tired of them.
5. The Olympics. I cry during the human interest stories, I cry during the medal ceremonies, I cheer, and I love every second.

Things that I am SO OVER:
1. Oprah. The downhill slide started with the Secret. Let me sum up the idiocy she endorsed here in as few words as possible. Oprah: "You just put your thoughts and wishes out in the universe, and the universe makes them happen." Becca's translation for the spiritually obtuse: "Putting your thoughts out in the universe" is just a way of saying that you prayed a prayer, and the universe doesn't "make it happen", your benevolent Father in Heaven has answered your prayers even though He knows you are going to give yourself all the credit. I am so sick and tired of Oprah endorsing all these things that are supposed to be "life changing" and yet she has no time for anything that's not totally new-age or doesn't tell you that you are perfect just the way you are. Guess what- we aren't okay just the way we are- that's why we need Jesus Christ and the Atonement. That may have come across a little fierce, but I am seriously tired of her. Not even "My "Favorite Things" can pull me out of this slump.
2. Grey's Anatomy. See above comment. Additionally, George and Izzie, you OBVIOUSLY do not belong together. Meredith, your waffling about Derek even has lesbians mystified about why you can't just be with him. I could go on, but I have reserved a tiny speck of hope that the next season will win back my viewership.
3. The baby weight. Is it even BABY WEIGHT when your baby is 18 months old? I am seriously frustrated and feel defeated. How can a mere ten pounds alter my body in such a terrible terrible way? Liza and I decided that your baby is a baby as long as they have dimples on the backs of their hands, so if Kiki's hands have dimples is it cool that my butt still has dimples?
4. John Edwards. Shame on you!! I know that his is a tale as old as time, but my disgust has been renewed for him.
