Hello, my lovelies! I am back! Have you missed me? I certainly missed you these past few months. (If you are just joining us, I was on maternity leave.)
 
First off, I must say a huge, giant thank you to those who kept Reality Check going during my time out of the office. Carla kept everything organized and on track, despite her home computer not cooperating with the blog software most of the time. And John-John kept tabs on a ton of shows for us, with a lot of fun attitude. Maryann and Mary have covered the latest season of Top Chef very thoroughly and amusingly. And many thanks to all the other guest bloggers, too.
 
Speaking of guest bloggers, I'm hoping to continue to get some help with recapping even though I'm back because my free time has been rather curtailed with all this parenting business. (What say you, guys? Still up for helping out? Please oh please?)
 
I can't believe how much I missed blogging about since the beginning of June: the finale of a fun season of So You Think You Can Dance (TMI alert: I went into labor while watching one of the last results shows of the season), a surprisingly entertaining season of Big Brother, an awesomely blindside-filled season of Survivor all jump out at me. Many times I wanted to plop down in front of the laptop and rant or rave, but I had to remind myself that I was off.
 
Anyway, enough about me. What is coming up next? Obviously American Idol starts week, but what else do you guys have your eye on?
 
Also, Friday is Reality Check's third birthday. How shall we celebrate?
