It is only Tuesday and it has already been an eventful week for me!
Saturday after work, I ventured to the mall for one last failed attempt for "cool" looking silver shoes. Ps. they don't exist. While walking through, I got approached by a guy at a kiosk.
" 'mam? excuse me? 'mam? "
* I begrudgingly look over at him...- (why did I look?! my mantra is to look forward, straight ahead, pretend I can't see or hear them!!)*
" ah yes, 'mam, I have a questions for you..."
"sorry, I don't have any answers"
tee hee. I kind of feel slightly bitchy after having done that, but empowered at the same time!
Sunday I went to the pool to soak up a little vitamin D, which apparently taking in pill form just isn't enough. While I'm sitting there, eyes closed, reflecting on things, I get hit in the arm with a wet football. *Growls* Here's the thing, people have the this idea in their head that I "hate" children. This is not so. I love well-behaved, well-mannered children. I do dislike unsupervised, ill-mannered kids like the ones throwing this football around. The child in question, didn't even apologize for having hit me!! They kept doing it too!! Running around the pool, screaming, yelling, etc. WHERE were their parents?!!!!!!!!! argh.
Yesterday, I was getting ready for my cleaning appointment at the dentist, when I heard a big truck outside. I look out the window and notice a moving van at naked baby's house!! WHAT?! Could this be?! Are they , dare I say it, moving!? I just saw an empty truck with folded boxes, so I won't hold my breath, but perhaps they are packing up their stuff?!
I also finally found the book, "Pretty Little Liars". I started reading it last night and I'm embarrassed to tell you that with all the characters, its a little hard for me to follow along. It is considered a "Teen" book and I'm having trouble keeping up!!! I am hoping once I get past the first few set-up chapters that it will click into place for me. The tv show comes on tonight, so I may or may not go ahead and watch it.
Today, Beau and I are superivising two guys put in fence posts in our back yard. YAY for a fence!! We'll have one by the time I get home tomorrow.
Chicago is just a few short days away!! It really snuck up on me! I won't be blogging as much this weekend b/c duh, I won't be on my computer! But I'm sure I'll have lots to blog about once I get home!
xoxo, B

"Time for your Tootie Tan!"
Summer has officially begun - how do I know this? There isn't a darn thing on tv at night! I am stuck watching things like "Toddlers & Tiaras" on TLC Wednesday nights, where "Modern Family" used to fill my evening with laughter. Thats right, I said it, "Toddlers & Tiaras". Its a show that is focused on following around pageant mom's and their beauty queen daughters.
I'm not here to trying to get in an argument over if dressing up little girls with makeup, spray tans, big hair pieces, and frilly dresses is right or not. Nor do I want to enter a debate on whether or not a contestant should wear flippers (flippers are false teeth that the little girls wear when they are missing teeth).
Now that I have said my disclaimer, here's my only problem with the show: the moms. Ok, be a pageant mom, whatever, but seriously, almost all of them are overweight and don't look like they wear makeup or have even touched their hair in over a decade. I'm watching a marathon as we speak (shamed, soooo shamed, but at least I'm not watching "Jersey Couture" - taped for later viewing). There is a mother on here who has her hair piled up on top of her head, permed and poofy. Her oversized XXL Destin, Florida t-shirt is stained and wrinkly and there is not one swipe of makeup on her face. The mom's are in need of some serious makeovers stat! If they ARE wearing makeup, its 80s style.
OK, so perhaps I do find it somewhat disturbing to watch a 4 year old girl lick her finger, put it on her butt and make the sound, "ssssssss!". Also it freaks me out how they dance , side to side, with their arms flailing. Jazz Hands!!! I think the technical term is actually called, "Swishing". I also notice during the actual competition that when they show the moms out in the audience feeding the contestants all of their dance moves, that no one is in the audience hardly!
Here's a website with the top ten from the first season: http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/toddlers-tiaras-top-10-controversial-parents/
The ten videos are entertaining, funny and sad all at the same time. One mom actually says her daughter did "awful". Does she not realize the cameras are on her?! *sighs* check it out. My favorite out of the ten though is Tootie - "time for your Tootie tan!". She is given a stage name of Tootie.
