My new job

You may have read a while back when I said I didn't know what I wanted to do when I grew up. If you didn't read it, I said I didn't know what I want to do when I grow up. OK, everyone is caught up.

I figured it out!

Have you ever seen those reality shows where an animal mauls a person? I have and it bugs me the way they commentator (is that what he is?) describes it. I could do SOOOOO much better.

Example:
'Anne' was just walking threw the woods (probably on the rag) and all the sudden she felt a sharp stabbing pain on her face. There was a mountain lion ripping her face off and then ripping her from head to toe and she couldn't stop it. The pussy she was with thought it would be a good idea to throw a rock at the vicious lion. Apparently, this mountain lion was a pussy too so it ran away leaving Anne bleeding from every where. It must have just been mean and not hungry so lets go kill the first mountain lion we see and say it was the big bad lion! That will make the scared people around here happy!

See, I would be so good at the job!!!!

Oh, and then there is the other show I watched tonight. It's called "Mate Check". They should rename it "I am pimping put my daughters to try and prove your man is cheating". WTF!

I am ashamed to admit I use to watch reality tv but I have seen the way. This is the stupidest shit I have ever seen in my life. Ya, it's ok at 3 am in the morning when it's that or infomercials but seriously, are people REALLY this stupid? I would never qualify for a reality show because I actually have a brain. I know some of you love reality tv but it is getting a little out of hand. Don't ya agree?

What are you watching?

So Amber wants to know what we are watching this Fall for Friend Makin' Monday. Funny thing is, I had just gone threw all the shows this week and set my DVR for all my favorites to record then checked her blog. So, it is all very fresh in my mind. I'm suppose to be cleaning so this will be pretty short. Benny's coming home early!

• Bones - I have seen EVERY SINGLE EPISODE and that wont change this season. I have written a few things about this show. I LOVE it. If I could only watch one show, this would be it. Benny doesn't care for it but knows how much I love it so he deals with it.
• NCIS - I also love this show. I watch it all the time on USA. I have seen most of them but every once in a while I will see one I missed back in the day. This is Benny's favorite TV show so he is cool about actually sitting down and watching it. He loves Abby.
• Criminal Minds - This just facinates me. I think being a profiler would be cool. Benny likes one character on the show so he will watch it with me.
• Ghost Whisperer - I love this show and Benny doesn't. This one has to be recorded so I can watch it when he is not home. I have also watched this one from the begining. Don't really like what the writers have been doing lately but still watch. I hope this season is better than last.

Anyway, that is what I recorded. Oh ya, I also recorded 2 1/2 Men. Benny and Little Man love it. Others I watch that I don't record are all of the Law and Orders. I really like SVU.

I noticed I kind have a theme with my shows. Mainly cop shows. So what all do yall watch?

A little if this and a little of that

Just some randomness for ya.

I watched a show last night and I couldn't tear myself away from it. Benny actually said, "No wonder you went to school to be a drug and alcohol abuse counselor". It was "Steve-O, The Demise and Rise". I like Steve-O. I think he is insane and so funny. But, he was OBVIOUSLY very drugged up for the last however many years he has been on TV. I think it is wonderful he has made it over a year of being clean and sober and hope he continues to do good. I was also great to see that he could still be crazy and funny without the drugs. And yes, I am one of those that watches Jackass and Jackass 2 over and over.

In a town about 2 hours from here, they had a protest with the black panthers and skinheads. The KKK decided against a rally so it was about 200 black people vs. 15 white people. They had the cops standing between them with their shields and everything. OK, this all seems very weird to me. Lets see, we have the black panthers, skinheads, and the KKK. Really? Why? I understand that the black people in this town are pissed because nowadays EVERYTHING is race related against them (being sarcastic). But why would the skinheads or KKK care. I don't get it. Life has got to suck when your world revolves around race. Do the Black Panthers and KKK just sit around and bitch about each other all day? Sounds fun (more sarcasm). The town I live in is about 50/50 black and white and has made national headlines for things that got turned in to racist activities. It wasn't the people of the town that turned it in to that though. It was the NAACP and the media. We didn't have protests and rallies and the shit got handled right. I guess the people in my town aren't as ignorant as others.

I feel a little better today. Now I am just really dizzy and weak. I hope I am all better by Friday because we have family coming into town to visit. For one night, I will have my cousins 5 year old son staying with us. I am sure Toot and Smiley will have a blast. Little Man will be staying with my mom that night to stay away from all the craziness I am sure will happen. Smart kid.

I am loving the weather we have had this week. It's hasn't reached 90 degrees all week!

And lastly, Benny bought me some fancy chocolate last night because he felt bad for me. It is soooo freakin good. He is the best husband EVER!!!

Huh, that was interesting, kinda.

So I watched a show yesterday that I have never seen before. Don't want to mention the name but it rhymes with Jon and Kate Plus 8. Oh, I just did. Oops!

Anyway, I have heard mention of them on the news and on blogs. A lot of people say she is a bitch. Having never seen the show, I kinda thought to myself, if I had 8 kids, I would be a bitch too. (Way to many comma's in that last sentence!)

But then I watched it.

This is all I got to say on it/her.

I would never put my husband down or be disrespectful to him in public. MUCH LESS IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY/WORLD! (unless he was doing it to me first! ;))

Dude, seriously, there is a time and place for everything and national TV is not one of those for talking shit to or about your spouse. Just my opinion.

Also, how much money does he make because they gotta nice as shit place?!

I hope all the dads out there have a great Father's Day! Happy early Father's Day to ya'll and to all the moms that have to be the dad too!

A little of this and that

Just some randomness.


Little Man left yesterday to spend 28 days with his dad and I was all upset. It's weird how right when you get upset sometimes, you can read or hear something that someone else is going through and all the sudden, your problems seem so small. After he left, I got online and read the update on Avery. Please, that little baby and the family needs all the prayers they can get.


Last night we went and rode around for a while on backroads. This really gives Benny and me a chance to talk. Really talk. Well, he was worried about some things and it was obvious to Toot. She got out of her seat, crawled upfront, gave him a huge hug and kiss and then got back in her seat. Never said a word but it took all his worries away. Kids are so awesome like that.


Finally joining the rest of the world today and getting sat TV. Benny is really not liking the idea of paying for TV but I am not going to live without TV and we don't have HD TV's. I totally won that battle.


The other day on the post about us going to the lake, I had a comment that said "Makes ya wonder what all the little people are doing while you are on the water". Ummm, no, not really. Benny works his ass off for everything we have. We deserve it. After working almost 3 months of 7 days a week/14 hours a day, he can buy whatever the hell he wants. We don't expect handouts from anyone. We believe that if you want something, you work for it and work he does. I am sure she was kidding (I hope) but just wanted to make it clear that I was not bragging. I am just very proud of everything we have worked for. Trust me, it's been a long road to get where we are today.

That damn horse is still pregnant! She really looks like she will pop any minute. And, she has turned into quite the bitch lately. I was giving them water the other night and she kicked the donkey through/over the fence and he almost landed on me! LITERALLY! Scared the shit out of me. He was OK thank goodness but I think I had a minor heart attack. I wish she would hurry up so she will go back to normal!

And last, if you want to see the New Moon trailer, the link to it is under this post.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

10 years ago

About 10 years ago I lived with my best friend from high school. She worked full time and went to school full time so she wasn't home often. When she was home, she was obsessed with this TV show.I think it was mainly because of this guy. She thought he was so hot.
I use to always make fun of her because I didn't think he was good looking and it was just fun to mess with her. She would get mad at me because I would always make fun of him. We had completely different taste in guys so it was no big surprise that I didn't think he was good looking. Our completely different taste in guys actually worked out really good because we never wanted to date the same guy.

Fast forward 10 years.


I am now obsessed with this show.
I have seen EVERY episode and get really pissed when I miss one. Thank goodness for the internet! Also, I think this guy is so HOT!Doesn't make much sense huh? Now that I have grown up some and matured, I really do see that it is what is on the inside and not so much what is on the outside that makes someone hot to me. I love this character because he is sweet, funny, rescues the girl when needed, charming, respectful, and really nice. All qualities that I find very attractive. Oh, and the fact that he is smokin' hot doesn't hurt. And he has a pretty cool belt buckle.
Pretty much all the qualities I found in my wonderful husband but Benny isn't reading from a script. He's the real deal!
I'm one lucky gal.

I have no idea what #45 and #57 were because they were not on Carrins or Carty Party of three so don't think it's that I can't count, someone else can't.

Random

I've got strep throat so this will probably be pretty short. I am in so much pain right now and nothing seems to help. Any suggestions would be great.

Just some random stuff that's been going through my head.

• Melissa from the Bachelor is now on Dancing with the Stars. With only 2 days practice, she did pretty damn good. All the little snide remarks about Jason were funny but my favorite was when the host (just went blank on his name) said "I've got two words for you Jason, people skills."
• Why doesn't a moms world stop when she is sick? A dads does. That's not fair at all.
• I just found a whole package of diapers in the bag we throw are cans in. Yippee because I was going to have to buy some today.
• I have the stupidest TV in the world. The only way to get it on the right channel for the DVD player to work is to use the remote. I can't find the remote. DAMN!
• Strep throat sucks big time!
• I think I jinxed myself. I said we were a healthy family and since then we have all had a cold and now I have strep, which I have never had before in my life. Also, I said in another post that I don't burn food. Since then I have burned cheese sticks, popcorn and something else but I can't remember what it was.
• Did you know one of the side effects to penicillin is getting a black hairy tongue. Pretty gross huh? I hope that doesn't happen to me. If it does though, I am so taking a picture and will post it. I'll warn you if I do so you can skip that day if you would like.

OK, that's it. Hopefully I will feel better soon and don't get any weird side effect. Also, good luck to everyone playing in the SITS thingy today.

It's like a car crash

I can't help but watch. I haven't watched TV in so long but last night we were (or I was) trying to get back in the grove because school started back today. So last night, Little Man and me watched TV. Hubby doesn't like to watch TV (especially what I watch) and the little one's don't care unless it is a movie.

Anyway, we watched the Bachelor. I don't usually watch much 'reality' TV but this one always gets me hooked. I watched it all last season and many seasons before that (Hubby actually got into it last season) and every time I am so amused with it all. Seriously, if 25 girls really wanted this guy then why is he single? But of course, that's besides the point.

These women (and I say women because they are so much worse than the men) are so fuckin' ridiculous. Haven't they ever seen the show before? DON'T GET DRUNK! You WILL look like a fool.

There is always one that drinks a little too much and everyone else laughs at them along with the rest of America. Then you got your girls (cause that's how they act) that sit in a little circle talking about everyone else. I thought they were there to fall in love with what's his name? Kinda hard to do just sitting around talking to the other girls. Then you got the go getter's. They will do what ever it takes to talk to the guy. Even shove their panties down his pants! I know, that was a few seasons back but it still cracks me up. She also fell into the "should not have drank that much" category.

So as I watched last night, I started doing other stuff because it was kinda boring. He is a sweet guy in all but these girls weren't acting stupid enough to hold my interest. There wasn't really anyone to point and laugh at as we always do. One seemed like a stalker but that wasn't much of a big deal. I figured this would be one of the years I watched something else on Monday nights.

That was, until they showed the previews for the rest of the season. DeAnna comes and wants him back! I think my exact words were "Holy Shit!" That will make me watch. Them producers really know what they are doing I tell ya. That's pretty sneaky of them to have a boring show and throw a twist like that in it. I guess it's only interesting if you watched last season but I did. I liked her until she broke up with Jesse. He was always Hubby and my favorite because he wasn't trying to be someone else (until the end that is). He seemed so heart broken on the internet telling everyone they broke up. I guess now we know the real reason why. She had to get in on the the guy she dumped while he was taping his show. He He! It made me laugh. Drama, Drama, Drama!

So I guess from now until the end I will be sitting my ass in front of my TV on Monday nights to see which "lucky" girl he picks. Damn twists getting me hooked again!
