Today's the day....

Well, for all you Big Brother fans, today's the day! The newbies do look more doll-like than previous years. I agree with others, why do they have to use only people with hot bodies or the token gay people? I think that's crazy! This year's people do look a little more like attention whores as well. Grrr.... I guess we'll just have to wait and see tonight!

Calendar Girls and Trace

On Wednesday, I finished the book Trace by Patricia Cornwell. I really liked it (as usual with her books) but thought that it lacked the element of fear and tension that the end of her books usually yeild. But, still overall a very good book. I also watched Calendar Girls last night. That was such a cute movie. I'm assuming this is based on a true story, correct? Either way, I loved it. The lady who played the blonde character (Chris?) was so beautiful. I even liked the clothes she wore. God knows I won't look anything like that at her age. Hell, I don't look like that now. LOL! It was nice to see that older ladies with imperfect bodies were still viewed as sexy though. I wonder how many of us who think our bodies are less than perfect would pose in a calendar of that nature if given the opportunity. Would you? I think I might...if the picture was as discreet as the ones in the movie.

DoubleDay book club

I got a think on the Doubleday book club where you get 6 books for 99 cents or something like that and considered joining. I'm afraid that there are strings attached that I don't notice and I will soon have a massive collection of books arriving in my mailbox and a bill twice as large. Anyone out there done this? Was it as straightforward as it seems? Anyway, I've been racking my brain for what 6 books to get. I'm probably going to order Undomestic Goddess but other than that I have no clue. I am currently reading (and enjoying) Running With Scissors that one of you suggested, so since you have all given such wonderful suggestions then.....

Three Things
Name three books that you think I should order myself from the bookclub!
Since I have no idea, I'll let you all answer!

My son, the one man demolition crew

Yesterday evening started day one of LuckyHusband working his week of evenings. I usually enjoy this week because I get to eat what I want, I usually let LittleMan take me out to eat one night, go hang out with Hooker, and I can watch whatever I want on TV! Last night, LittleMan decided to celebrate in his own manner....by destructing what small bit of order was in our home. He began by trying a new acrobatic trick that would surely impress the world if his mommy didn't worry about him breaking his neck. He climed onto the couch, laid down on his belly with his head off the couch, then lunged forward to turn a flip and land on the floor on his back. I think my heart stopped for a few seconds, until I heard the peals of laughter coming from the tiny smiling mouth on the floor. How in the world can a child whose mother is terrified of heights and anything else remotely dangerous be so captivated by climbing and his own version of baby gymnastics?

That was only the beginning....throughout the evening, he climbed onto the bar, got a whole cup of pens, took off the tops, and flung pens and tops one by one into the floor. I think this was a game of match up designed for his mommy's entertainment after he went to bed. This apparently wasn't as fun as he had hoped, so the evening then turned into mommy being his personal pony. He climbed onto my lap or my back and began to rock. While he was on my back I decided to humor him and got on all fours and walked him around the living room, until he grabbed my ponytail and started pulling and leaning backwards. My head and back are both feeling it this morning.

Coke Zero

This stuff is awesome! I highly recommend it. I have never ever found a diet drink I like, but for some reason this is good. YUMMY!

Have a great day! One more day until the weekend!

Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
