confessions of a trash TV watcher...

I have to come clean... I am busting out of my skin for the new fall TV shows to start...

it's bad... my husband laughs at me... I have to Tivo them so that I can watch them when no one is around...

It all started back in college when I got hooked on 90210...



and back then we didn't have Tivo just the VCR... remember that pain... needless to say I missed many an episode but thanks to syndication and a job as a restaurant manager in the 90's I got caught up quick... in fact my husband and I had a roommate at that time who watched almost every episode with me... we LOVED it....

well as you may know... there is a new version... on the CW...
click here to see the clip of who is who....
can't wait....



Then there is that other one... Gossip Girl... why on earth do I like this show... totally trash... but I can't look away... like an accident on the freeway... I know I shouldn't but I can't help myself...



it doesn't stop there... somehow I also got myself hooked on One Tree Hill... so bad that I had to Netflix the previous seasons so I knew all the scoop... hooked... who will he pick... Peyton, Brooke or that other one??? only a few more days...

Don't worry I like all the other usual suspects as well... grey's anatomy, lipstick jungle, brothers and sisters....

My Tivo is packed... there are times when I need to spend whole weekends getting caught up...

PATHETIC!!!!

anyone else have these problems???

as close as we'll ever get to Johnny Depp...

The Lady Washington came to town... perhaps you've seen her on the big screen....She was used during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl to represent the HMS Interceptor,

And to me without Johnny... there was no point in going... but the kids had fun...

fashion statement...

last week B and I were having our usual conversation about getting out the door...

me... get your shoes on and let's go
B... i can't find my shoes
me... are you really looking?
B... i can only find one green croc and one red croc
me... well wear those
B... that's just plan strange mom
me... it's fun, think of it as a new trend

He's been wearing one of each for over a week now...Naturally people comment on them... he just smiles at them... but today we were eating lunch out and a woman asked him if he knew he had 2 different shoes on... he said yes... and when she asked why he said quite proudly...

I'm making a fashion statement...


*** check out the contest at Classy Chaos for the modern version of Crocs... if you thought you weren't a crocs person this might change your mind...

Remind you of long johns under the skirt anyone :)

Little "C" and the snail

with my back issues I've spent many an afternoon on the couch with my ice pack and the kids climbing all over me...this is me and my Pickle... and really captures his animated personality...

and I'm sure you are wondering what is up with his hair... he wanted it styled and the mowhawk fell to two horns... I think this is telling of his personality...
