Things I don't like about Hart of Dixie

• That we are supposed to believe anyone talks like these people
• That we are supposed to believe Jaime King is under 30. Sure, it's not uncommon for a woman of 33 to play someone in her 20s, but there is nothing youthful about the face of Lemon Breeland. 
• Everything about Lemon Breeland, except her sparkly cardigans, which are awesome. 
• Jaime King's utterly absurd Southern accent
• The character of Lemon Breeland, especially everything she says and how she looks, except for some of her outfits
• That we are supposed to believe anyone would love Lemon Breeland.
• Another problem with Hart of Dixie is that I keep watching it. That might be the heart of the Hart of Dixie issues, actually.
• I do like Rachel Bilson. I can't help it. She's so cute and spunky and she has such nice outfits all of the time. 
• Some people, myself included, insist that lists should be parallel. I think this list demonstrates that is not always true. 

The last 30 days

In reverse chronological order:

1. I turned 30.
2. I went to a wedding in St. Louis.
3. My mom had a lumpectomy, which went well. Next will probably be some radiation and then hopefully we will hear no more from this cancer.
4. I started a new job at my old employer. And I got my own office. With a door (but no windows...).
5. I went to a wedding in Las Vegas.
6. I started teaching freshman comp at the university where I recently completed my master's.
7. I flew to Salt Lake City for 36 hours to see my grandfather.
8. Bill started teaching. 
9. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.
10. My 94 year-old grandfather's health took a significant turn for the worse. 
11. Bill and I went to San Francisco for the Stein exhibits at SFMOMA and the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

Here's hoping the next month 30 days are a little less eventful (I haven't watched a teen drama for weeks!). But hooray for weddings and birthdays and museums and new jobs at museums. And especially hooray for good friends and fiances.
