I’ve been recording the new season of Real Housewives of New Jersey for the past month or so, but never got around to watching any of the episodes until last night.

OMG. It. Was. Awesome. I watched the season premiere and was instantly sucked in. I could have easily sat there for several more hours watching the rest of them, but I want to ration them out. Like expensive chocolate candies. Actually, expensive chocolate candy is possibly the only thing that could improve my experience of watching this show.

I shall look into that.

I contest that the best cure for any ailment you may have (depression, boredom, PMS, pregnancy, feeling like a failure, thinking you might be crazy, etc.) is this show. Or really ANY of the Real Housewives shows … although New Jersey boasts a particular form of cray-cray that makes me feel extremely normal.

You don’t have to tell anyone that you’re watching it. You can keep it on the down low. It’s much cheaper than therapy.
