The Week is Halfway Over!!First of all...my Big Brother Recap. If you aren't interested...skip to the next section!
Big Brother
Okay, in last Thursday's episode, Rachel became HOH, Kaysar and Ashlea were nominated for eviction. Here's what happened last night...
o Eric (firefighter) talked more about his pact with Mike, James, and Kaysar for them to make it to the end
o Eric talked with Ivette about their alliance (are they a secret pair?)
o Beau (personal shopper) talked about how full of himelf Howie is and called him "bi-curious"
o Howie dressed up in makeup and a bra
o A secret room was discovered by Rachel, who told everyone, and decided that everyone should have an opportunity to stay there
o Ivette and Kaysar get to stay in the room first.
o Rachel found the key to unlock the hot tub
o Rachel won the Golden Veto competition and chose not to veto any nominations
o Rachel got mad at Jennifer for using the HOH room and locking Rachel out. She complained to everyone and talked about wanting her gone
That's about it. Thursday will be eviction, new HOH, and the revealing of secret pairs!
Okay...now a quick rant/vent
This morning on my way to work, I noticed that the vehicle behind me had a child (probably about 2 years old) standing on the console beside the driver. A few minutes later, he climbed over her lap (while she was driving) to stand between her and the door. This continued until they turned into a gas station. The mother was wearing her seatbelt. So, she cares more about her safety in a wreck than her child's? What is up with that? First of all, how in the hell can you drive with a toddler climbing over your lap? I can't even hold a telephone conversation with one climbing all over me! Secondly, does she not care what would happen if she were in an accident. Or what if she had to slam on her brakes? This totally infuriates me becuase if something happened to that child, she would be hearbroken and probably blaming another driver for the fact that she is too stupid, selfish, or in a hurry, to properly restrain your child! I doubt she lets him play in the damn street, but honestly, there isn't a difference in my opinion. She better be glad that my cell phone didn't have a signal, because I was waiting for it to have one so I could call and report her. I didn't want to have to slam on my brakes for some reason and have her rear-end me and her child come flying through the windshield. I sure as hell didn't want that on my concience!! Anyway, lesson of the day, put your kids in a carseat!!!
Day 3
Well, today is Day 3 of Get the Fat off My Ass. It's going surprisingly well. I have consumed more fruit than the animals at the zoo and I've drank so much water that my bladder is getting worked into tip-top shape. Next week (hopefully) will begin Phase II, the gym phase. I kind of dread that!
Here is a quiz I have saw on numerous blogs lately, so I thought I would try and copy it....
1: Who are you?
2: When and how did we meet?
3: What brings you here?
4: Why do you keep coming back?
5: Give us a nickname and explain why you picked it.
6: Describe us in one word.
7: What was your first impresssion of us?
8: Do you still think that now?
9: What reminds you of us?
10: If you could give us a present, what would it be?
11: Ever wanted to tell us something but couldn't?
Have a great Wednesday! Don't forget that Katie Holmes is on Letterman tonight!

Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). 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.
