SHIRLEY, YOU CAN DO IT! What do you get when you combine a mother, a wife, and a friend, with a helping of humor, a smidgen of self-help and a dash of dead-on wisdom? You get Shirley, a woman just like you: looking for answers, trying to stretch the 24-hour-day a little bit longer, and constantly seeking to better herself, even when her 'self' is just fine how it is. Now, in this hilarious, home-hitting new series, you can follow Shirley through the adventure that is daily life-and you just might learn a few things about yourself along the way... CHECK THE LOST AND FOUND, MY MIND IS MISSING! The holiday season is approaching and, despite the endless airing of It's a Wonderful Life, Shirley's life seems anything but wonderful. As usual, she's spread herself way too thin-between Christmas shopping, her kids' recitals, her husband's office party and her work-and she's feeling thick enough to fill out Santa's suit. But a few angels-including those in her very own family-go a long way to remind Shirley what Christmas is all about...and that the best presents are the ones that can't be wrapped.
