I am such a sap.

Extreme Home Makeover is on, and its even a re-run, and still I am already crying. The episode that is on is about a single mother with three daughters and their house burned down. I know that is a cheesy show, and that they only pick families who's stories will translate well on screen, but i just love the transformative power that this show has in people's lives. I'd much rather be willing to invest in watching a show that has a positive effect on families, rather than one that would spend money only to show explosions and special effects.

(Okay, now its almost over- the people of the community raised $71,000 to send the daughters to college. Tell me thats not a good thing- gimmick or not!)
