a question
Am I a dork 'cause I watch the Ellen Show while I do Pilates (Ellen on the TV and the Pilates DVD on the laptop, on mute, 'cause the Pilates woman sort of creeps me out. She instructs me to, "Pull your arms RIGHT out of your arms!") and today on the show Ellen offered to pay for the entire wedding of this young couple from Kentucky and I started to cry? Like I do at that one coffee commercial where the kid and his big brother always sing the Christmas carols together, and then the big brother goes off to war, and then it's Christmas and the kid waits at the window all day, and finally the mom gently takes him away from the window to the piano and he starts to sing the Christmas carol alone WITH HIS BACK TO THE DOOR, and then the door opens all quiet and these combat boots and camaflouge pants tiptoe in and stand behind the boy and then this big baritone voice joins in on the song and the little brother looks up and smiles and then there's a wide shot of the whole family and they're all smiling and I'm crying my eyes out and then there's a coffee can?

Short answer: No.
Longer, perhaps unwanted answer: If you knew all the TV shows that made me cry you'd wonder how I ever put a normal sentence on the page. Plus - I have a total girl crush on Ellen!

okay so lets not let this get out becuase we all know I'm not really a cryer, but, every Sunday night there is this show called Extreame Makeover:Home Edition. I know what you must be thinking eww a design show, totally not that. It's more like a good people helping the good people who really fucking need it show. I swear on my life I never cry as hard as when I watch that show, like funeral tears, I swear! There's just something about people helping other people what really tears me up. Okay so that's Melissa's deep dark secret, she cries at Broadcast Sunday Programming.....shhhhhhh!
