Perhaps writing this post will make me sound like the biggest lame eva. But, I'm okay with that. See, I don't watch much TV, and I definitely don't keep up with the reality shiz that America watches because honestly, it gets on my nerves. Sometimes I feel left out in all these "Real Housewives of BFE, Bachelor(ette), whatev, whatev" convos. I just feel like people in real life are irritating as all get out, so why watch more of it on TV? But, that's just me.
But - sometimes, I'm not strong. Sometimes I fall off the wagon when I leave the TV on ABC Family as my background noise. PS - I don't think PLL should be on anything with the name "family" in it. But, nobody asked me. But, when I get sucked into that background noise, they are really good at suckin you in, before I know it, I can't pull myself away.
Disgusting, I know.
This happened once with Lost when my friend Lindsey got me addicted, but by the time that happened, I needed to catch up on 2459 episodes. And I felt overwhelmed. And I quit.
Well, it's totally happened again with Pretty Little Liars. I'm kind of ashamed. Part of me likes to watch it so I can dream of having long, wavy locks. Or bomb eye shadow. Or wonder what it's like to be tall and skinny. But, I have to admit, its not just the "I wanna look perfect all the time like they do" aspect. I really am left hanging on the edge of my seat when they get those stupid texts. And the random clues that they sneak in here and there? Dang it!
Anyway, I need help, people.
You see, since I got addicted late, I hardly have any information regarding what is really going on. But, I'm still hooked.
Here's what I get:
*Disclaimer: If you've been watching PLL and this isn't new to you, you will be like, "Duh, Shug in Boots, thanks for stating the completely obvious." But sometimes I need to think my thoughts on paper, mmmk?
{1}
The four chicks, Hanna, Spencer, Aria and Emily were friends with this typical mean girl/beezy named Alison, who has mysteriously disappeared and was missing for a year, then all of a sudden her body was found. She was a conniving, manipulative Beezy who thrived off of others' humiliation and need for her approval.
{2}
They get these creep-o texts/messages from "A" first about secrets that Ali would have only known about any of the four given girls, like Aria's dad's affair, or Hanna's food issues, etc. Since it's crap only Ali would have known, the girls wonder if they are from "A" ... like, is she really dead?
{3}
There's lots of other randomness going on in the town - you know, like, Hmmm, what's she doin hangin out with him? I didn't realize they knew each other. Why's her dad care about him being around? Her mom knew him BEFORE?! Who took those pictures? Who was that in the background? etc.
But - the "all new" Halloween episode, which aired Oct. 19, synopsis found here ... tells us that "A" started harassing people, including Ali, BEFORE Ali disappeared/died, along with several other nuggets of info that fill in some holes.
What the heck is goin on, y'all?!
I missed a LOT of episodes in between the pilot episode (which they also reaired on Oct. 19 after the Halloween special - thank you ABC Family) and now. I read the synopsis of the other episodes but y'all know that's just not the same. Clearly, I will be spending nights stalking my computer to watch old episodes to catch up before January when the show airs again.

I need a concert. A road trip. A tailgate. A bonfire. A great big ACE cookout. Sumthin.
Hello Shugs,
Let me apologize in advance, cause this here's another one of the *random* ones. I feel unsettled and antsy. I can't focus. I want to do fun, meaningless mindless things that are of no benefit to anyone except for my pure entertainment and enjoyment.
The warmer the weather gets, the worse it is. Maybe I need some medication for my randomness. For one, I found this really fun toy online that the rest of blog world has known about for about 15 years, where you can pretend to shop online, but never submit your credit card number (and never get the goods either - but the creative part is still fun).
I am thinkin, next time I am in SC where only a select few know me, I may wear the following out in public - perhaps to a baseball game, and walk around with a really strong jaw like Victoria Beckham, and leave my aviators on at all times and dare someone to look at me cross ways. What do y'all think?:
I'm already half way there. My vintage-y hell-raiser boots are black, and not brown. My CVS aviators HAVE MOST CERTAINLY NOT done me wrong. I definitely have a red/white striped tank (Go Pack!) all I'm really missing is the fringe for the shorts. I don't have bad legs - but I am frighteningly close to 30. I guess that would be teetering on inappropriate-in-public-ness. It's really not that wild - just too much leg. Why is it that your leg seems decently covered in shorts - but when you put a cowboy boot on WITH said short - you suddenly feel like a JEZebel? The shugs who tailgate at State didn't get the memo. I admit that I am a little jealous of their _____ (I couldn't think of a good word to put here). Again - not many people know me in SC.
In other news -
I think it would be selfish of me not to share this magic:

Greek yogurt has double the protein of "regular" yogurt and it's texture is thicker and it makes your belly happy instead of provoking it and causin it to get really really angry with the tease of regular yogurt. (What - y'all's stomachs don't do that?) It tastes like pineapple cake with cream cheese frostin. YUM-may, Y'all!
(PS - The Yoplait Pineapple upside-down cake - BARF!)
Also have been OBSESSED with the following:
I think Eric Church is pretty freekin hot in his aviators as well. How much fun would it be to tailgate and shoot the breeze with Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean and Jamey Johnson? (I can't think of any girls I'd invite except Miranda).
Just imagine the photo opps and quotes of the night that could spring from a night with those hottie pies (and Miranda - and of course Anj because I am a one-man woman - and Ber would prolly wanna come too - and Boeger). My birthday's comin soon ... maybe we could all chip in??
