trust me, I watch too much TV. Trust me.

It’s January, and that means all my tv shows are back on the air with new episodes.  Right now I’ve got a heavy television load to bear.  I’m in serial drama hell and I can’t recuse myself from all the new shows of LOST, Damages, Nip/Tuck and Grey’s Anatomy. These four shows alone are eating up all my down time. So when Beth, my link to all TV stars, asked if I wanted a sneak peak of a new drama on TNT I got worried. There’s no way I could add a new show to my roster.

But then Beth also offered me an invite to a luncheon as a part of the package.

Hmm… food + free TV DVD? How could I say no?

So last week, I caught up on the first two episodes of trust me and attended a luncheon with one of the show’s stars, Monica Potter. Schwing!

I loved so many parts of the show. It brought back memories of the days when I worked for a large PR firm, the cutthroat meetings, the last minute creative ideas, the stress!

And I really loved getting to see so many of my old blog friends and chat with Ms. Potter (Monica?) in person. She was so hot and so, uhm normal? I’m not allowed to disclose all the stuff we dished about, but let’s just say, she’s really down to earth. I mean, she has three kids, ate the food on her plate AND held other people’s babies without worry they’d spit up on her.

By the end of it all I was so full (clam chowder, cheeseburger and creamed spinach will do it to you) I almost forgot I had to go home to a toddler rather than back to my office in the sky.  But I think I found a new show to latch onto. I think I’ll have the time to fit it in. Trust me.
