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?

This week...

This week I've seen...

Zach Anner get his OWN show on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Actually both final contestants won their own show but I can't really see watching another cooking show, so Zach had my vote from week one! He's so funny and entertaining to watch. He will be hosting a show about travel.

Today I saw..

What a freaky movie! We went today because we are trying to fit in movies that will be up for awards tomorrow for the Oscars. I think Natalie Portman will win awards for this movie because the acting is brilliant but the movie itself left me saying "WTF" at the end...just didn't get it. But liked it.

Also this week I saw...

Miss Diana Ross on Oprah! She is fabulous as ever and I really enjoyed seeing a different side of her with her five kids and one grandson. What a neat lady!
Tomorrow (I just realized it's after midnight...so I should say "today") we are going to see The Kings Speech. We were going to fit both movies in yesterday but I was ready to get out and enjoy some sunshine! It was 80 degrees out and the outdoors was calling my name!  We drove to the jettys and saw a bunch of sailboats out...I took a picture with my phone but it did not turn out that great.

January 2011

I'm getting used to the fact that we are in a new year now. I've been getting the 1099s gathered for our property owners, and trying to set up my bookkeeping in a more organized fashion this year.

We have tickets to go see The Color Purple on Friday at the Van Wezel . I am super excited about that. I love going to live performances. Hopefully we will fit more of those in this year.

I'm fighting a cold/cough that has hung on way too long. Will most likey have to make another trip back to the Dr. for a second round of meds.

We have not made it back to the homeless camp since the day after Christmas but we have a few things collected and will try and make it next weekend. We want to get a few more propane tanks for pops heater before we go again.

My sister called tonight and is doing better. I had just made the decision today that I would not call or text or stop by her house again until I heard from her and then out of the blue tonight she called to tell me she was feeling better and keeping food down. I am very happy that she is feeling better and hope she will stay on the track to recovery.

I have to show property in the morning. I hope the  people want the house and can move in by Feb. 1st. Our annual rentals seem to fill up fast. (knock on wood!) Wish our seasonal rentals stayed as full.

I've seen so many cute blog ideas lately for a yearly type blog project. One woman takes a picture of her feet whereever she is standing and did a year end blog with pictures thru the year of the places she stood. It was a clever idea but I never think to do that until after i've left a place. Ive been taking tons of pictures on my new blackberry but the quality of the pictures are not very good so I hate to post them. I've sent several to my facebook only to log on later and realize they are so dark you can't even see what is in them.

I'm not very good at keeping up with things I start *glaring at my treadmill that has not been used but once since I got it in October*. I'd like to think this year will be different but I kind of doubt it.  We shall see.

I am just as hooked as ever to my reality shows...and the OWN network. I can't wait til Sunday when Mya Angelou is on Master Class. I'll try and do another reality review one of these days, I am always surprised at how many of ya'll watch those shows. Speaking of those shows, does anyone know if Sister Wives is coming back?

Anyway..I hope that your new year is starting off on a positive note. Smiles, Hugs and laughter sent your way!
Namaste
