Shh...I have a guilty pleasure.

I don't subscribe to Soap Opera magazines, but I did once upon a time for a brief period. I certainly don't begrudge anyone who does. I had a friend in Malaysia who subscribed because she wanted to keep up with her stories. (I was secretly jealous). But while we were there for 3 years, I admit to getting on- line once or twice to keep up with my all time favorite soap,The Young and the Restless. I missed a good 3 years of the lives of everyone in Genoa City, WI, but I was able to start fresh upon returning home.

My biggest shock was finding out the Nick had divorced his high school sweetheart Sharon, and fathered a child with Phyliss.

Nick and Sharon have an affair!!
I KNOW!!
(there is a reason that these are on during the day)

None of this matters to you the reader of this blog, but I just want you to know you are missing the absolute best love triangle in all of the whole entire known universe. Nick is beginning to get tired of Phyliss and her rat terrier like personality. Who wants a persistent red-head nipping at your every move? How on earth are you supposed to pine lovingly, obsess carnally and stalk your former wife romantically.... with the bark, bark, bark of Phyliss, your current wife, and her watchdog-like tendencies?

Here is the cast of the show ( the two children are now teenagers overnight). Yes, I know each name and each story from years and years ago.

I hope I don't get too many people judging me too harshly. Especially church members, who tend to look upon Soaps with a frown. I won't judge you either next time I see you go for seconds at the next ward dinner's dessert table. tee hee.

I have taken up crocheting whilst I peruse the show, so I don't lose my entire soul to the devil.
