One of my favorite ways to spend my Sunday evenings are curled up on my couch watching the drama ensue on one of my very favorite shows...The Good Wife.
If you're not a fan of The Good Wife (and you definitely should be) then let me give you the lowdown on one of my favorite shows on TV.
About the Show: THE GOOD WIFE stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick, a wife and mother who reinvents her life following her husband’s sex and political corruption scandal. Four years into her tenure at the law firm of Lockhart/Gardner, Alicia accepts a prestigious partner offer from her bosses, Diane Lockhart, Will Gardner and David Lee. However, a mutual attraction with Will leaves Alicia conflicted after she agrees to renew her vows with her husband, Peter, who has won the gubernatorial election with the help of campaign manager Eli Gold. After much thought, Alicia agrees to leave Lockhart/Gardner to start a new firm with her colleague, Cary Agos, who is unable to convince investigator Kalinda Sharma to join them. Now, Alicia must find a way to balance her evolving career, her new position as First Lady of Illinois and her roles as a wife and mother to her teenage children, Zach and Grace. Emboldened by the prospect of taking control of her future, Alicia bravely ventures into unknown territory.
If you are a fan of the show, then you know the tension has been mounting as Alicia and Cary plot to leave Lockhart Gardner to start a new firm, I personally can't wait to see sparks fly this Sunday. In anticipation of the show, CBS wants to know which side are you on Team Lockhart/Gardner or Team Florrick/Agos? Be sure to head over to Facebook and pick a side!
I'm personally '#TeamFlorrick/Agos and I can't wait to tune in on Sunday to see what goes down! Don't forget to tune in to CBS Sunday October 27th at (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) to catch The Good Wife and watch as the ish really hits the fan!

I've never been much of a fan of scripted TV shows, but 2 Broke Girls was one of those shows that I loved the very first time I saw it. I don't know if it's the actress, or the storylines, (or maybe the horse) that make me like it as much as I do, but I do know that my Monday nights wouldn't be complete without it.
If you've never watched 2 Broke Girls, let me clue you in...
2 BROKE GIRLS is a comedy about the unlikely friendship that develops between two very different young women who meet waitressing at a diner in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and form a bond over their dream of one day owning their own successful cupcake business. Only one thing stands in their way – they’re broke. Sarcastic, street-smart Max Black met the sophisticated, school-smart Caroline Channing when the uptown trust fund princess was having a run of bad luck due to her father’s Wall Street scandal, which caused her to lose all her money and forced her to give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as an entitled rich girl, but she’s surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max’s knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she visualizes a lucrative future for them and they begin to save money to reach their start-up money goal of $250,000. As the girls’ cupcake tally expands week-to-week, they become closer to their goal and to each other. At the diner they are surrounded by their offbeat, colorful “work family”: Oleg, an overly flirtatious cook; Earl, a hip 75-year-old cashier; Han, the eager-to-please owner of the diner; and Sophie, the girls’ outrageous upstairs neighbor. As Max and Caroline climb toward their goal, we see that their “smarts” plus their “hearts” might just be the recipe for success.
I must admit, every time I watch the show, I'm reminded of my own "broke girl" days as a twenty-something (before kids of course) just trying to make ends meet. I remember one particularly genius "get rich quick" idea my friend L and I had while working as sandwich artists at Subway. One day while closing up shop for the night, L and I decided that we could make double the money we already made if we started a "side business" where we babysat when we weren't working our regular jobs; both of us had experience, both of us loved kids and two babysitters are much better than one...right? Yeah, well, let's just say that we were in business for exactly 24 hours before we decided that babysitting, wasn't where it's at. We accidentally booked a babysitting job for a time that both of us were working, which meant that our boyfriends (who weren't as mature or responsible as we were) had to take on the job for us, by the time we finished paying them for taking on our job, we had $20 less than when we started, so our babysitting business was no more and we were back to making sandwiches and dreaming big.
Looking back on that time now, I had to laugh because as silly as it was, it was also a lot of fun, those years were the only years in my adult life before I had kids when I could actually be silly, not worry too much about money, and just be a twenty year old...ahhh, the good old days. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I love Max and Caroline as much as I do, they in one way or another, remind me of me and my friends at that age, maybe with a little bit more business sense (just a tad), but still very much like us.
If you don't currently watch 2 Broke Girls, I definitely recommend it, it's so worth the watch and if you currently watch the show, remember that 2 Broke Girls has moved to a NEW TIME - Mondays at 8:30/7:30 c on CBS.
