Christmas Letters

I wish I was more creative and could write a decent Christmas letter. I always enjoy making fun of reading them.  I've tried to write one but it sounds lame. Do I write what we've been up to this year? Do I leave out my sisters stint in Jail or dad's cancer? How fa la la la la is that kind of news? Not so jolly.

I even thought of writing it about another family...I could pick a TV Family...or how about the housewives of Atlanta,NY, NJ, OC, etc...yeah I didn't think anyone would want to read about that either...

I could have my dogs write it..now that would be interesting. We should leave it to Dexter...Scout isn't all that bright and I'm afraid we would not understand his spelling. Dakota would turn it into a wish list of things she wants and DJ would get distracted and eat the pencil.

I've searched the internet for christmas letters and found some very good ones. Do you think anyone would notice if I just used one of them? I would change the signature line of course...

Reality TV Summer Update 2012

A quick update on what reality shows are catching my attention and some random thoughts.

Sister Wives: I'm so ready for them all to build a big house and be under the same roof again already. I feel for the kids and think the parents have been very selfish in this move. I'm ready for Cody to get a hair cut..I'd like the show better without him. Go Figure lol

Kendra On Top: Ive only caught a few episodes (maybe there have only been a couple?) I think she used to be cute and dumb. Now I just think she's a bitch and arrogance doesn't look good on her. Baby Hank is adorable thou! I could just eat him up!! The last episode I saw was when Hef came to visit in the helicopter. He looks soooooo old. I wonder about his two girlfriends that he brought..I'd bet they were his nurses.

Real Housewives of NY: I'm enjoying the new ladies on the show. Each has their own little quirkiness. I miss the old days with Bethenny and Jill but I'll still watch. I don't miss the one that had the gay husband..what was her  name? They had the annoying little boys...Alex, That's it..Thanks Vic! :)

Real Housewives of the NJ , I love when Rosie is on! I was on team Melissa all the way even though I really feel sorry for Theresa because of her bone head husband but then I read Theresa's blog yesterday and I can see how alot of it may be true and now I even feel more bad for her..but I'm not totally anti Melissa, I love her and Joe they crack me up. I think Theresa is going to have her hands full with that bratty daughter Gia..Ms Crazy Eyes.

Real Housewives of OC, I loved the girls trip to Costa Rica. Poor fake Alexiis got attacked by the girls. I doubt any of it will make a difference thou. Hey at least she's beautiful..that will get her pretty far in CA

Mrs. Eastwood and Co. Vic likes this show so we watch it but it hasnt really caught my attention yet. I'll play on the computer and listen to it but rarely see a full episode. Not enough drama I guess lol

Kardashions: yep..I watch. I love the show and everything Kardashion except Kims latest beau...she could do so much better (or maybe I'd just like to believe that) I think with Kayne she will be with yet another guy that she has to constantly make apologies for his behavior.

So what are you watching? Agree with my take on these shows or not?

June 6th, Photo of the day Books and a dose of reality recap

June 6th , My Photo Of the Day is Books

As you can tell our library has a WIDE variety of authors and subjects

I'm also doing my Reality Recap because last nights shows were almost toooooo much!

Did you see the final episode of sister wives?

They get all moved to Las Vegas and find four houses , one for each wife. Ok..it must be a TV show and not truly reality because none of them are working  yet they can afford to rent four houses?? I'm in the property management business and I don't know about  Vegas but here in Florida we require them to have jobs, security deposits, etc...

From the beginning of the show I liked the Browns. I loved that they wanted to keep the family together and the kids all seemed very well adjusted but these last few shows have really made them appear to be very selfish. The investigation will still be going on if the family is in Utah or Vegas so why up root all of the children (I think there are 16 kids) from school, church and the support of a community that has other poly familys ? And then what really was the last straw was Cody and the newest wife saying they were trying to have another baby! Ugh!!! Is it just me or would you want to find jobs first so you could feed the 16 kids you already have?

Ok enough of them. On to the finale of Real Housewives of the OC

The real entertainment for me was the after show with Andy (BravoAndy-Watch What Happens Now) when Alexis called in because Peggy was his guest. Alexis sounded like a crazy girl in high school with her "juicy gossip" trying to make Peggy look back when it only made Alexis look like an idiot (which honestly doesn't take too much, she is not the sharpest tool in the shed). I can't wait for the reunion show next Sunday, these women supply me with all the drama that I don't have in my real life. Thanks girls!

Reality Recap

It's time again for my reality recap! So many shows are on right now that I'm watching..I'm in heaven!

A new one on OWN that I've been following is Breaking Down The Bars
It is a show about women in prison and their everyday struggles to do the right thing and get ready to re-enter society. One of the last shows I watched a young woman was working towards getting her G.E.D. so she could get 180 days off of her sentence. It makes me wonder what incentive is there for girls that already have their degree. Doesn't really seem fair, but I am all for getting these girls more educated.

This last week on the Style network Ruby returned! She had gained some of her weight back and it looks like this season will be focusing more on her past and what triggered her to gain so much weight in the first place. As much as she drives me crazy with her "hacky" (instead of Happy) talk, I do love watching her journey! It's so easy for us as viewers to see her toxic relationship with her ex boyfriend but it's hard to cut someone out of your life that has been there for so many years. Good luck Ruby! I'm cheering for you.

The original "real housewives" cast is back! The Real Housewives of the OC is one of my guilty pleasures. Vic and I watched the first episode last night (we had recorded it earlier) I think because we keep our lives Drama Free, we enjoy watching it on TV. These women drive me crazy but in many ways I wish that I had the nerve to speak my mind the way that they do. Who hasn't fantasized once or twice about throwing a drink in someones face? lol  It's mean girls at it's finest but there are no victims to feel sorry for..they are all mean!

Those are my three recaps for this week...what are YOU watching?
