first up … the winners. gotta trust me on this one … i wrote down everyone’s name and mixed them all up. then sarah picked out 2 names.

leslie gets the box of scrap goodies!

liann gets the assortment of cards!

congrats girls! send me your address and i’ll get those out … possible today if you get me in time. lol! i have to run errands later … so that would work out. and thanks to everyone for playing along and leaving me all the great comments!

now … about my "melrose place". it was always one of my favorite shows. watched it all years ago … but hadn’t seen it since. then last summer i stumbled upon it again. they show the re-runs on the "soap network". it was on monday thru friday … 5 days a week. and i just happen to come in at the very beginning of the series. so i started recording it … 5 episodes every week. it was great during the summer since nothing else was on. when all the shows started back up in the fall i didn’t know if i could keep up … if i could still find time to watch 5 episode of melrose each week along with all of my regular shows. but i did. sometimes they piled up and i’d have like 7-8 episodes at a time. but i’d just get in and have like a melrose marathon. lol!

now … they also show "melrose place" on saturdays. 3 episodes every saturday. but saturdays on on a different time-frame. i think it recently started over … so saturdays is actually on season 1 right now. i wasn’t really sure what season i was up too … but i knew it was towards the end.

this week it dawned on me that i didn’t have any "melrose place" on my DVR. i checked my recording and the schedule … and there was nothing there. come to find out … "soap network" changed up their schedule and they’re not showing melrose during the week anymore.

what the heck!?!?!?!?!?!?!

i can’t even begin to tell you how upset i am. i did some searching online and found some episode guides so i could figure out where i was. there were a total of 7 seasons for "melrose place" … a total of 227 episodes. quess what episode i was on as of last friday? 202!!! that means i only had 25 episodes left! that means i had watched 202 episodes … basically i’ve been watching it for about 40 weeks (5 a week). and i only had 5 weeks left to go. i’ve been on the edge of my seat the last week or so every time i watched a show … because i could just tell that it was getting to the end.

so now what?!?! i just wait a year for the saturday run to catch up? season 1 & 2 just came out on DVD a few months ago … so i highly doubt i’ll get up season 7 anytime soon that way. i feel so betrayed by the "soap network". how can they get people to invest their time and energy into a show like that … and then just yang it from them? i’ve been going through "melrose" withdrawls all week … i have nothing to watch!

well … that’s my rant! may seem trivia to some people … but it was something to me!
