Most of you know we are going through a season of unemployment since my husband lost his job at the end of August. This is his second job loss in five and a half years. It is stretching to say the least to see how we manage to pay bills and get food on the table. The amazing thing is so far so good. We still have a roof over our heads and meals on the table. Between my husband’s unemployment benefits, my paper route, blogging and other work at home income, we are managing to scrape buy. It’s not without worry, fears or stress though. We call this “faith” stretches.
There’s a new (to me anyways) show on TV, which I have only seen a clip for, but I can relate to these girls who are working hard to make their dreams come true. Have you seen 2 Broke Girls yet? Viewer discretion is advised as this show is rated TV-14.
2 BROKE GIRLS is a comedy about the unlikely friendship that develops between two very different young women who meet waitressing at a diner in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and form a bond over their dream of one day owning their own successful cupcake business. Only one thing stands in their way – they’re broke. Sarcastic, street-smart Max Black met the sophisticated, school-smart Caroline Channing when the uptown trust fund princess was having a run of bad luck due to her father’s Wall Street scandal, which caused her to lose all her money and forced her to give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as an entitled rich girl, but she’s surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max’s knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she visualizes a lucrative future for them and they begin to save money to reach their start-up money goal of $250,000. As the girls’ cupcake tally expands week-to-week, they become closer to their goal and to each other. At the diner they are surrounded by their offbeat, colorful “work family”: Oleg, an overly flirtatious cook; Earl, a hip 75-year-old cashier; Han, the eager-to-please owner of the diner; and Sophie, the girls’ outrageous upstairs neighbor. As Max and Caroline climb toward their goal, we see that their “smarts” plus their “hearts” might just be the recipe for success.
2 Broke Girls has moved to a NEW TIME – Mondays at 8:30/7:30 c on CBS. Viewer discretion is advised as this show is rated TV-14.

I’ve never seen this show, I’ll have to look for it on Hulu.
Every fall we have those “faith” stretches because my husband’s business is concrete which is generally seasonal, especially in Indiana.
I worry constantly even though I know I shouldn’t.
I know, I’m the same way. I know I shouldn’t worry, yet can lay awake worrying at night. Ugh.
I didn’t even know your husband’s business. Yeah concrete would be quite seasonal here in the Midwest.
I’ve seen clips of it on tv but have never taken the time to watch it. Sounds like I am missing out though. I’m so happy to hear that you’ve been making it so far through this tougher period!
Thanks, Liz!
I know, I’m rather curious to see a full episode of the show myself. They have three episodes loaded on the CBS app so I may be watching it one evening this week.
Definitely, and I didn’t care for it much…lol
Robin, what didn’t you like?
I keep meaning to catch this show! I hear it’s hilarious.
love that show, it’s hilarious! and yeah…we totally feel broke right now!!!
This actually isn’t a new show! They changed times but this is it’s third season!
I keep hearing this show but haven’t watched it yet. I must do that soon!
This is a pretty funny show! I know I have had moments where I was down on my luck and my back account wasn’t too fulL!!
I never saw it, but because of my sons I’m careful about what I watch. If I were single, this would be awesome
There was definitely a time when I was a very broke girl! LOL Love this show.
I didn’t enjoy the episode I watched, but I know people who like it.
I’ve had times where I’ve had to count changes to buy groceries. I would really love to see this show it looks so funny.
This show is hilarious. There were times in my past when I was just like the 2 Broke Girls.
I hadn’t heard of this show, but it looks like a cute and heartwarming show. I’m sorry about your husband’s job, I really hope that he is able to find something soon. ((HUGS))
Stefanie, what didn’t you like about the show? I still haven’t watched it. Haven’t had a chance yet. Maybe over the weekend.
Thanks, Tiffany. We are hoping too.
I think this looks like a good show for college aged kids or early 20’s.
I had no idea that’s going on with your family. Let me know if there’s anyway I can help you.
I’ve never heard of this show, but it sounds kind of fun!
I can relate to feeling broke but haven’t watched this show for a variety of reasons (including the rating).
