the end of an era

Truth be told, I wrote this over a month ago. However, I didn't want it to go to waste. So here it is...
As previously mentioned, my show Ugly Betty just got cancelled and they aired the finale this week. Check it out (note - spoilers are included):

The Story Behind Ugly Betty's Series Finale
'Ugly Betty' Bites: The show's brilliant last 18 one-liners from its series finale, 'Hello Goodbye'!

What the hell am I going to do now?! (tears) Yes. I'm sad because I really liked the show and I liked feeling like I was "growing up" with Betty. One of my many favorite things about Betty was she always had amazing boyfriends who loved her quirkiness. Yeah. Only on TV...

In addition, I LOVE America Ferrera. I'm sure she'll still have an amazing career!

Today's Small Victories
I've been way more off than on with respect to going to the box lately. School and life things have just gotten in the way. Today was the first time I went all out on a WOD. It sucked. I'm out of shape. But I'm back in the game. To me, that's victory!
