September 2007

With my busy puppet week (full recap coming tomorrow soon!) and my hubby coming home late (or not at all) I haven’t been watching the fall tv premieres! Ugh, I’ll be glad when all this children’s ministry is done so I can get back to being a couch potato.

However, last night we watched How I Met Your Mother premiere and episode 2 of Surivor. I’d just like to share a few thoughts with you. *spoilers ahead*

SURVIVOR: CHINA

1. Thank God I do not have to watch WWF diva and her half naked self. (Oh, how many descriptions I left out for her!) But really, Sherea, I hope you are mortified as you are watching this season because girl, you have got to start wearing actual CLOTHES. Amanda even got in on the lack of clothes, but at least she was sufficiently appalled, “My mom is going to kill me!”

2. I know Former Model guy is an annoying leader. I get it. But everyone else in the tribe LITERALLY sits on the ground and says, “Hey, what do you want us to do?” Then sits there again and says, “OK, how do you want us to do it?” Then sits again and says, “But, why?” Seriously, stop acting like middle schoolers and start working. If he tells you not to make a fire and you want one–make it anyway!!

3. What is Leslie saying, “Boo-hoo! I’d be better if I could just read my Bible. Waaaah!” What in the world?! I thought she was trying to make a GOOD impression. Hasn’t she ever heard about hiding His Word in her heart? UGH. She was making me feel sick.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

1. I know this show is gross. I literally think the moral of this episode was…well, I don’t even want to say. It was PG13 at best. But it is seriously funny. (God will seriously not think that’s a good excuse.)

2. Was that Enrique AND Mandy Moore?

3. Ted got a tramp stamp! HA!

4. And we should have known. Barney is one of us. After a horrible night on the town he yells, “This is SO going in my blog!”

I know I’ve been talking about TV a lot lately. But once fall TV begins, I can hardly keep from blogging about it. I’ll try to curb my enthusiasm (ha!) and blog about diapers and nap schedules soon.

Well, that’s it. Lydia is asleep, when she wakes up my mil is coming over to take care of her as day 2 (of 3) of Puppet-palooza begins tonight. I know you guys are so jealous of my membership in this subculture of puppetry. Just wait till you see the pictures I’m going to share with you. Enough to make Elmo jealous.

Why I Can’t Post Today

by oh amanda on September 27, 2007

in me,puppet

This is Vicki. My puppet.

Those 2 sentences brings up so many questions. Why do you have a puppet? Why did you introduce her like she’s a person? Why is she posing like she’s on America’s Next Top Model?

*sigh* I’m in puppet-land this weekend. We’re getting ready for our big performance today. Hopefully I’ll be able to post tomorrow but if not, I’ll fill you in on all the foam-y details soon!

Remember my grandparent’s vacation? Here’s my grandmother (left) and her friend Dolores posing with…well, a native. I love this picture. The Indian looks just…real. He’s no teenager being paid minimum wage to put on a costume. I have so many questions about that man’s life!

And are the girls outfits and hair just awful? Ugh. Please don’t tell me I look like Grandma. Seriously, if you think so, keep it to yourself!

And please know I’m not being disrespectful with my title or with the word “Indian”.

I think I’ve mentioned a few thousand times that I love bloglines. I have all the blogs I read categorized, you know, mommy blogs, book blogs, etc. I read a few entertainment blogs, one of which is The Disney Blog. When I lived in Orlando, you heard Disney news all the time–on the news, from [...]

September 25, 2007 blogging

I know, I need to stop complaining already, but I can’t—it’s Monday. And I just can’t blog on Monday. I think I’m going to have to come up with a new meme. It could be entitled Manic Monday; we could be wildly excited about Monday. Or Malady Monday, we could share our aches and pains. [...]

Uhm…well, you see, Lydia spent the night with her grandparents. And well, I haven’t slept later than 8am for at least 6 months, so…I skipped church today. So. I woke up at 10:45am. I’m going to repeat that. I WOKE UP AT 10:45 THIS MORNING! And I only slightly feel bad about that even after [...]

A Little Bit of Saturday In My Life

September 22, 2007 blogging

I’m off to a baseball game! Woo-hoo! OK, really I’m not that big of a fan of baseball sports. But Les’ sister and family are home from Mexico for a month, so we’re going to be doing lots of fun stuff while they’re here. Last night we went out to eat at the Cracker Barrel. [...]
