How I did it
It made me
Proud 
How I did it: Let us just summarize that it is has proven to be one of the most difficult and rewarding things I have ever done. Now that her first year is complete, I plan on allowing her the opportunity to ween herself. Read how I did it…
It made me
Exuberant!
How I did it: I DVR'd all the episodes, and would watch them the following morning. I found this most effective because watching the show always makes me want coffee. It was a great way to start the day! Went along fairly easy until it came to season 7. ABC Family started over with season 1 immediately following the end of season 6.

-J.M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize-winning author of DISGRACE
...and it is only 120 pages!
