Lovecats: Blair and Chuck

Have you guys been watching Gossip Girl?

You know I love her--xoxo--but I have not been enjoying the continued separation of Chuck and Blair. If there were ever two lovecats that deserved a break, it was these two scheming upper-east-siders. For reals.


I fully recognize that in order to keep the plot interesting, suspenseful and compelling, they need to present our beloved manipulators with challenges to their relationship.  I fully recognize that if Chuck and Blair were too happy for too long, I might get bored.

Might.

Maybe.  Possibly.  Probably.  Not.


But you know what else makes a plot boring?  Babies. 

Yep.  I said it.  Ha.

Don't get me wrong:  like many 27+2 year olds, I am baby obsessed--and that is putting it mildly.  I have tried to kidnap my friend's children.  Literally.  And it didn't go over well, I'm afraid. 

But when young characters on escapist teen dramas have babies, it never goes well. They become mothers with real problems (ie Andrea Zuckerman and Haley James Scott).  And we don't watch GG for insight into real problems.  I want Blair to sport the newest dress from Victoria Beckham's new line...not a breast pump.

How do you think Blair will deal with this transition?  What do you think the writers have planned? What are your predictions for the couple?

“And thank you for a house full of people I love. Amen.” — Terri Guillemets

I'm so very lucky to have three of the greatest mothers in my life, and to get to spend this weekend with two of them.
My beautiful sister and her three kids.
Grandma, who must be magic because she raise eight kids,
with a whole bunch of us back in the 90's. Some of us had questionable haircuts back then.
And yeah, I'm the one with glasses and braces.  It was an awkward phase.
The best mom in the world.  No questions, no argument.
Happy Mother's Day to all!
