I have a problem...

They say that the first step in overcoming a challenge in your life is admitting you have a problem. Okay, I did that. But what if I have a problem *COUGH*obsession*COUGH*COUGH* that I don't want to overcome?

"What is this issue you're dealing with?", you may be asking yourself. Well, I'm going to admit here... to all of you, faithful readers... Again.

I am obsessed with Jimmy Fallon. Still.

There, I said it. Wow, do I feel better.(okay, not really).

This is probably not a shock to most of you, if you know me well enough (or have read my blog for a bit). My night-owl-ness and love for all things "late-nite" lead me to Mr. Fallon many moons ago and has only gotten stronger as the years have gone on.

I loved him as a regular on Saturday Night Live, I've seen almost every movie he's been in (Netflix, Holla!) and I've watched 97% of the 414 episodes of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (whoever invented the DVR is a SAINT!) [and yes that episode number is accurate through to tonight's new episode]. I've laughed so hard, I've cried (and maybe pee'd a little). I've stuck by him on nights that weren't so hilarious and through some yawn-worthy guests and really, really awful (maybe just by my standards) musical guest acts.

I've even gone so far as to join Twitter so I could follow Jimmy and submit Tweets to his weekly "Late Night Hashtag" segment. I managed to get one of my tweets read by Jimmy on his show back in September! I made him giggle! You can find my previous post detailing this event HERE! I think that the clip of him reading it is no longer available online. But if you want to come over to my house, we can watch it here. I have it on the DVR. Hopefully, I'll manage to keep it on there for eternity.

My husband is as supportive as a husband can be about my Fallon-Fanatic-ness. He doesn't give me any grief about filling the upstairs DVR with hours and hours of LNJF episodes. He doesn't mind going from store to store to find the issue of Rolling Stone with JF on the cover. And to top it off, a few days ago, he came home with a pint of Ben and Jerry's for me! Now normally, he would have brought home my favorite, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, but he had found the brand-new-just-released-on-the-show pint of Late Night Snack, a flavor "inspired by LNJF". WAH!?

Vanilla bean ice cream with a salty caramel swirl and chunks of fudge covered potato chips. It was really SALTY interesting, probably wouldn't purchase it again (I'll stick to good ol' ChocFdgBrw), but I love my husband for supporting this junkie's Fallon habit.

Anyway, I think my infatuation exists for many reasons. Okay the obvious being, he's pretty to look at. Duh.

2. He's HI-larious. Not many people can make me laugh as hard as he does. He "keeps it real" with smart, current jokes but also does things that are just silly and he has no shame in acting like the kid he is at heart.

And C, he's genuinely a super nice guy. Every interview he's given, every appearance he's done, every person who has written about him (whether they think he's funny or not) has said that he's the nicest, happiest guy they'd ever met. He's an eternal optimist and has a love for life that I envy and would love to have.

Mystery obsession solved.

And so you all have time to plan (haha) all I want for my upcoming 30th Birthday is to meet Jimmy Fallon and see his show live back home in NYC. That would be AWESOME.

So, yeah. I don't know why I felt the need to let you all in on my not-so-little secret obsession today, but there it is.

I'll close this little window to my soul now. It's getting a lil' drafty in here...
