Meredith Gray

I decided your life seems so much cooler if you pretend you're on a TV show. Think about all the cool plot lines we could all make out of our lives! Trouble is, I'm not constantly surrounded by sexy doctors, but you know what, I'll take what I can get.

At the end of the year, during our last Bible Study, Andrea and I had our girls write themselves letters, about things they wanted to remember, and we're sending these letters out now. I'm writing a letter of my own to go inside them, and I'm realizing how much I miss them. That's one of the many things this past year -- this past semester -- has taught me, is how quickly someone can become a part of your life, and what a shock it can be when that all gets erased in a matter of days. You go from seeing someone almost every day to talking to them once every other week, if you're lucky. It's kind of devastating.

And, if I were Meredith Gray, I would say the above aloud, and then be able to link it to every character in my show through a series of clips of each one of them doing surgery or making out (because those are the two things they seem to do most frequently). Good thing I'm not Meredith; I think that narration would piss off my family after a while.
