Thoughts; on the Survivor season finale. 1.) Who here thinks they should just give Ozzy Redemption Island as a consolation prize? He pretty much lives there anyway. 2.) Am I the only one amused that Brandon's occupation is, "Russell Hantz's Nephew."? 3.) I'm a lifelong Big Brother and Survivor fan, having not missed a single episode of either since BB8. My joke for years, regarding going on BB has been: "The challenges will be hard, and the social game harder. But the hardest part of doing BB for me will be buying ugly athletic shoes, living with a bunch of slobs, and winning over a jury consistently convinced they're the panel at a Miss America pageant!!" Survivor and Big Brother are both about game play, but the last time a jury for either show got it right was when Evil Dick won BB8!! Coach should have had it locked up, right? To my awesome friends here, who have tried out for these shows: If you find yourself on either aforementioned jury, promise your frustrated friend you'll remember you aren't voting for Miss Congeniality!! Have a great night! I'm going back to my paperwork.
My grandmother is one of my greatest role models in life. The woman is 87, and in the last two years, has had both her knees replaced, a massive great attack that resulted in a triple bypass, and she fell and broke her hip, and had that replaced. I was there to drive her home from rehab when she bluntly refused a walker, and would only take a cane. I was also there when she tossed the cane into the bushes as we left the rehab center, saying she didn't need that silly thing. I can only hope, when I'm nearly ninety, I can say I have that kind of spunk and spirit. Let her be a role model for all of us. Have a great day! Votes are in!
Well you made it to another Sunday so here is a thought: Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them. Vote is in.
I was out doing Christmas shopping yesterday, braving the department store insanity. As usual, people thought I was a bit nuts. Not because of my corset; but because I broke into hysterics when a version of christmas song, "Santa Baby," came on - the version sung by a guy. This yanked me back to high school chorus, where the WOMEN'S show choir was performing that song. That didn't stop one of my male friends from running onstage during the performance, wearing that "sexy santa" women's lengerie (red silk, write fur...NOT THE UNIFORM OF THE CHOIR), garters, heels and all, prancing around and singing the song. He got in serious trouble, but I still laugh about it today! Have a laugh today! Votes are in!
How to tell when your neat and tidy nature has turned to OCD. And, when your OCD has turned into absolute insanity. When having an employer/teacher/mentor to your house for the first time, a neat freak will do the serious cleaning the night before, buy a coffee cake, and beverage, and do touch ups in the morning. An OCD neat freak wakes up early the morning of the visits, and cleans everything again. And an INSANE neat freak wakes up at 5:00 a.m, vaccuums again, carpet cleans, showers, vaccuums again, spot cleans the carpet, dries with a hair dryer, vaccuums one more time, because you're certain you still see cat fur. And then showers again, because you got sweaty again. Repeat madness with every other household chore. I inherited mine from my beloved grandma. Thanks, grandma! The punch line: it was my new sensei coming over. And, after my 8+ hours of combined insane cleaning of a house that was already clean to start, came in, looked around, and said, "Wow...you have a really nice house. But it scares the SH*T out of me!" Haha; have a great day. Votes are in!
